I have had this photo in my computer for a couple of years, and it is reputed to be an "albino" Asian Buffalo from Thailand. I really don't know for sure, and the animal looks "dwarfy" to me. Does anybody have any insight?

"Albino" buffalo from Thailand
Cremiline Asian Buffalo?
These "bovine" are at the Oradea Zoo, a nasty piece of business in Romania. I was not aware of this color phase in Asian Buffalo. Are they pure bred or a cross-bred animals? In the photo's at the top, it is apparent that they used to have nose rings, so they are the domestic buffalo and not the wild species. Does anyone have any other information on different color phases of the Asian Buffalo?
Russian Circus--1989
This Russian plank walk kinda make's Chic Silber's "light up, Pink Panther Charly Baumann" deal seem candy ass!!!!!
For Prof. Richard Reynolds
RJR, not right now, but as soon as you get done with Georgia Tech football, I really need you to identify the animal in this photo. Glenn Sullivan verified that old circus pictures can not be "doctored", because Jim Clubb would have said something, but then today John Milton say's that Jorgen Christenson made up horse color breed names, and even he(John Milton) called every white bag of bones dink horse Neapolitano or Siglavy and that it's all a part of showbiz. I want to make sure this picture is what I think it is. Is this really a photo of the extinct Pongo pygmaeus lumberjackis, commonly called a Paul Bunyon Orangutang? I have read about them, but have never seen one or a picture of one before now, so I hope you can verify it, and we can show the ar nitwits that the circus was all about habitat enrichment, long before it became the "vogue" in the zoological world. Thank you.
Activists take aim at California zoo's elephant rides
Activists have enlisted entertainer Charo to get a zoo in Southern California zoo to end its more than quarter-century tradition of elephant rides.
Many zoos have caved to pressure from animal advocates who say its cruel and ended elephant rides.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals spokeswoman Lisa Wathne says the Santa Ana Zoo is acting more like a circus than an accredited zoo. Activists have intensified their opposition since the ride opened for the season last month but picketing the zoo on weekends.
And PETA got Charro to write Mayor Miguel Pulido last week to plead for a ban on elephant rides.
But the Orange County zoo's director Kent Yamaguchi says there's no mistreatment and elephant rides will continue.
This is something. The Queen of the Clowns thinking she know's what is good for elephants, and want's to ban rides, because "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals spokeswoman Lisa Wathne says the Santa Ana Zoo is acting more like a circus than an accredited zoo!!!!!"
