Water Buffalos in Kakadu

They say in the early 1980's there were about 20,000 feral buffalo in Kakadu. They were destroying the environment and threatening native wildlife. They were culled down to a couple of hundred at that point. We went on a cruise in Yellow Waters a while back and saw a couple there but this is the first time I have seen any roaming wild along the road. Although periodically there will be a story in the paper where a car or truck has run into one. They are huge animals so they can do a lot of damage if you are unlucky enough to hit one!
