- Hand cleaned and taxidermied from Northern Territory water buffaloes which are classified as feral animals and a pest to the natural ecosystem.
- These buffaloes are culled through aerial and ground shooting with the help of indigenous communities and NT Parks and Wildlife Management Programs.

Facts
Water buffaloes were imported into the NT in the 19th century as working animals and meat for the remote northern settlements. These Buffaloes are large herbivores weighing between 450kg and 1200kg and are found in floodplain, woodland and sandstone escarpment areas where there is surface water.
When the early settlements were abandoned, the buffaloes were released, where they became feral. They can cause huge environmental damage through their movement and feeding. Their swimming channels have caused saltwater intrusion into freshwater plains, which has led to the loss of large areas of paperbark forest.
