What is the probability of getting attacked by a wild buffalo? It all depends. Especially on probability calculations. If I am walking through the streets of trivandrum it is near zero unless one of them jumps out from the zoo enclosure . But at least once I was thankful to a wild buffaloes wife or rather wives ( they are polygamous i suppose). Let me explain. A few years back thanks to some miscalculation of journey times we landed for wildlife viewing at dusk.
And had to walk to reach our place of stay in near darkness . Wild life enthusiasts excuse I am speaking of gaur , the 1000 + kilogram wild indian bison ( not exactly buffalo ). This thing has and do kill people when irritated. I saw it around 20 feet away and we were on foot. Forest guards were with us but they dont respect guards always . If the probability of attack depends 1 in 3 in the presence of a trained forest guard…
