WWF adds third water buffalo to Mai Po Nature Reserve
Ten-year-old stray will bring ecological benefits, WWF study finds; more will be added later

The newest "manager" at Mai Po is expected to attract more birds to the nature reserve simply by munching the grass and wallowing in the mud.
He is a 10-year-old water buffalo, a stray brought in from Yuen Long. The global conservation body WWF introduced him - the third water buffalo at Mai Po - to the wetland last week. His humble labours, they say, will bring ecological benefits to the area.
