There's a Water Buffalo Just Running Around Iowa Right Now

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
How about the upsets over on Saturday Week zero, Georgia
Tech taking out Florida State, the rambling wreck from Double Tech. Hey, yeah, also,
you know what else? You know what else? Hey, we
got ourselves a couple of different things. Sorry, let me
just go ahead and exit this audio that refuses to

(00:22):
not play while I am on the air. Anyway, New
Mexico had Montana State on the ropes? Man, did you
know who Montana States? Like? Montana State's coaches or sorry,
New Mexico's coaches, Bronco Menden Hall. Oh yeah, it'll be
why you and Virginia guy he's.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Down there rehabing.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, his first big assistant job was in New Mexico,
and I think, you know, getting a chance to completely
rebuild that program is probably a cool idea for him.
Would have been nice to see them get a win.
They scored two defensive touchdowns and we're up seventeen in
the fourth quarter, and Montana State came back and ended
up beating them. You know who else showed up for
just a little bit, the Delaware State Hornets. Ah, did

(01:01):
you see that they were hanging in there? They were
hanging in They were a forty point dog and showed
up to Hawaii like a day or two late, missed
like the luau and all the fun stuff that comes
with being at Hawaii for one of these football games.
That's rough man. Yeah, and then they lose, but they
covered the spread. Nevada covered the spread and almost beat SMU.
SMU didn't look very good at all. So I think

(01:22):
all of the bad teams, like all the underdogs covered
the spread. Yeah, all the underdogs covered the spread because
Montana State was a fourteen point favorite over New Mexico,
and New mexicoly lost by three or four four, So
there you go. Anyway, football Nebraska UTEP, and later this
week every day we're going to talk to Sean Callahan,
but later this week we're going to talk to the
play by play voice of the UTEP Miners, John Tyker.

(01:43):
He's going to be joining us on Thursday. That'll be fun.
I'm excited for that. It'll be fun, don't you think,
mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Talk some UTEP football, yeah, absolutely. Anyway, we'll get back
to the politics in a second. I wanted to talk
about the water buffalo in central Iowa. Have you ever
seen a water buffalo before, Matt, I don't know if
I have, I think it's a juvenile. I don't think
it's a full sized water buffalo. But now they have
a drone in ATVs with officers on them in Pleasant Hill, Iowa,

(02:13):
which is an eastern burb of Des Moines, and this
water buffalo, like I said, I think at juvenile probably
like eight hundred and nine hundred pounds, somehow got out
and is wandering around town. I don't exactly know what
the point, like how this happened. Somebody owns this water buffalo.
They couldn't corral the water buffalo. I'm under the impression

(02:33):
that the person who owns the water buffalo was following
it around with a trailer to try to get the
water buffalo. That didn't work. This was two days ago.
They tried to approach the water buffalo. When officers tried
to approach the water buffalo and coerce it in a
certain direction, it started to get aggressive and they shot
it with a shotgun. Apparently they didn't do a whole
lot to the water buffalo, and it's still been wandering
around the last couple of days. It's been seen by

(02:56):
multiple people. There are videos, there are pictures of it
in garage. There's pictures of him on a bike trail.
There are pictures of him in yards looking up at
people on balconies. This guy, I don't know what he's doing.
I don't know what the point is.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Hit some garage sales. Like a trail sounds like a
good weekend.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well remember last year we were talking about this mountain
lion that was wandering through Omaha. Yeah, and what was
the answer? People were like, how do we get rid
of this mountain lion without death?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
You remember my answer?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
What was the answer?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Steven Sagall?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, that was a stupid answer. Ring him into town
and let him take care of it, that was a
stupid answer.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Let him crawl around on the ground and do some
of his weird moves and he can document the whole thing.
I don't think Steve has got a lot of money
for this city.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't think. I don't think Steven Siagall is doing
a whole lot of that stuff anymore.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, he's got the belly, but it would have been
it would have been a lot of fun. So I
recommend Central Iowa call Steven Sagall. He'll take care of
this water buffalo. You know what, They look a lot alike.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
These days, Sigal in a water buffalo.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't know why I'm just throwing strays at steven Sagall.
It's just kind of one of those mondays, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Anyway, water buffalo, I'd probably read deal with the water
buffalo than a mountain lion.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Would you rather deal with a water buffalo or steven Sagall?

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh, the water buffalo can't talk to me, which is
probably a plus.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
And steven Sagal can like flip you like with his pinky.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
No, he can't. That's a Chuck Norris joke.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Steven Sagall is kind of like the mister Pib of
Chuck Norris, you know, like he's like, he's like Chuck Norris,
mister Pib.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Steven Sagall is like Deadpool versus Wolverine. He's just kind
of there. And Ryan Reynolds made Deadpool cool, but he
wasn't that cool. Anyway, back to seriousness here, the water buffalo.
They shot it with a shotgun. You know, people are
trying to figure out why you wouldn't like taze it
or stun it or because I mean, like when you're

(04:42):
taking a like cattle for processing, right, like you use
like a stunning device right, they become unaware of their surroundings,
but they don't like to my understanding, they don't just
collapse and cannot be like picked up and carried away.
You can't just pick up an eight hundred pound calf.
What I think this is water buffalo calf or maybe
it's just a female. I don't know. I'll be honest,

(05:04):
I'm not well versed in the world of water buffalo. However,
they're basically saying, don't approach the water buffalo. It is
acting aggressive when anybody gets close to it. So what
would you do really calling Steven Seagal off the table?
Do you call rodeo guys to like rope it? Well
with that work with my best idea off the table?
I guess they'll have to think about it, like a tranquilizer.

(05:25):
Would that even work on an animal this big? Yeah,
call a.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Team of you know what, there's there's got to be
a bunch of guys out there who are just like,
we can take care of it, and they don't really
know what they're doing. But there's a bunch of them.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I mean, there's enough people in the state of Iowa
that like competing that stuff. Yeah, this is like a
real world use for some of those skills, right, couldn't
you rope this guy? And I mean, I don't know
what happens after that. I mean, he's too big to
be tackling to the ground like some of the like
the calves they use for the roping competition. But I
think maybe you just.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Like, well, this is what I do with the geese,
those Canadian geese. You just clap at them, you know,
maybe just a whole bunch of guys.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'd also rather deal with a water buffalo than a
Canada geese or a Canada goose. The fact that they
can get in the air is a problem. So I
don't know why they're having so much trouble just being
able to get this water buffalo. I mean, how fast
could it possibly be moving. It's been seen in so
many yards here. You're telling all of these people basically like, yeah,
don't try to do anything because he'll get aggressive he

(06:22):
or she. I don't know, but we talked about trying
to tranquilize a mountain lion. We don't even know what
ended up happening to that guy. He just like disappeared.
Yeah he's still out there somewhere. Yes, he just like
wandered through the neighborhood and was gone forever when to
wherever the food was. I don't think a domestic water
buffalo is going to do the same thing. I think
you're going to keep seeing the water buffalo and it's
going to be pretty noticeable. I just have no idea
what they're supposed to do. So if you have an idea,

(06:44):
if you think that you know what they should be
doing over there when they try to catch this wild
this newly freed domesticated water buffalo in central Iowa, nine
thousand miles away from where these things usually are operating.
I'd love to hear from you. Four h two five
five aight eleven ten four roho two five five eight
eleven ten. Your job is to find a way to

(07:06):
keep the public safe while collecting this water buffalo. You
tell me what to do. That's your assignment here on
news radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Andrie Sullman on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yes, you heard that right, a water buffalo. I don't
know why. I don't know who owns it. I know
that there is an owner, and I know that they
were trying to catch it. It's been two days, the
thing is still out there and it was shot by
police because it was getting aggressive and they felt like
he was potentially a danger to the public. So I
don't really know what the uh what the response to

(07:41):
the answer is to that, But I'm asking you, you're
you're in charge here. What do we do to get
this water buffalo back in safe hands? Well, you can
call us a four roh two five, five, eight, eleven ten,
where we have Tom on the phone line. Tom, welcome
to the show today. What do you think about this?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, I've got your water buffalo dilemma figured out.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's really very simple, all right.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
All you need is two things that are available in
just about any sit in Iowa.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Thirty six a forklift.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, really that really that sample?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
What?

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Uh so? So how do we get the forklift to
wherever this guy is though? Don't those things move pretty slow?

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Well, you get a run in loader, they're a little faster.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okayaco is something that is something that will lift is
thirty out six and Abacco forklifts gets to here.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, Iowa.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, there you go. Well, okay, i water buffalo. You
do you know a water buffalo? Tom? You have you
You've experienced with a water buffalo before.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
No, but I have shot large animals, even larger than
a water buffalo, so you know it wouldn't be that difficult.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I'll even bring my pick up and throw it in.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
The back and I'll have it at the locker in
less than an hour. All right, fair enough? Well, hey, Tom,
you know what, I think that they might have something
like that in mind. They have no idea what the
next step is. But I appreciate your idea and thanks
for being a part of our mission today. Who all right,
I don't know, is there a way we cannot like,
do we have to kill it? Like it doesn't have horns?

(09:06):
How much damage could this guy do? Now, again, if
he's like meandering near a highway, that is one animal
that you're probably not going to win a collision with
that would be a hazard two all involved. However, it
doesn't seem it seems like he's wandering through neighborhoods at
this point. So my biggest question would be the tranquilizer option.
Is that off the table?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Now?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
I know we talked about the tranquilizer option with the
mountain lion, and the mountain lion weighs a lot less
than this water buffalo does. If that's the case, why
didn't we tranquilize the mountain lion when we had a chance.
So the answer to that question is, we're not sure
that even work. And then what do you have a
real angry mountain lion that just is like, what what
are you guys trying to do to me? Just like

(09:47):
a hornet, right or a wasp get away from me,
and then it gets real angry, and now you got
yourself a bigger problem. I don't know if that's exactly
how it what happened for this water buffalo, but you know,
I'm sure they've called an expert or two. You'd hope
at least Mike's on the line of four h two five, five,
eight eleven ten. Mike, what do you think about this?

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Hey, you bought your water buffalo. I had certain many
years in the military, and I had some stuff in Honduras.
Big I had to do like a bear, I did
a mountain lion, I did a panther. Anyway, what I
did was I just shot one of his feet so
to stop it. Instead of trying to kill it, if
you just immobilize it, then that would really take care
of it. I did on a mortal occasion one time.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
I was even scared.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
All I did was shoot the legs and that that
took care of it. So if they can shoot a shot,
then you could use a rifle. If it's not, you
don't be so close, you know, you get be one
hundreds away and shoot it in the leg and go
get it, all right.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I mean, I guess that's one way, Mike, to take
care of it. That certainly would kill it. Eventually. You'd think, uh, well,
I mean those shoots.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
The entire leg off. I mean, just wound it on
its leg. You'd you shot it with a shotgun, you would,
And that's not doing everything, and it's still moving. Then
just use a rifle. Just one bullet, that's it, just
into the leg.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Interesting, that's all you gotta just stop it, all right?
Fair enough, Mike, thanks for calling in.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
B Yeah, no problem. Yeah, I don't know. They already
shot it now. I don't know what they used to
shoot it. They didn't say it was a police officer
that shotgun. They said it hit him. He just didn't
have a reaction to it and has still been walking
around the last two days. So what's the likelihood of
a eight hundred and fifty nine hundred pound water buffalo
taking a shot. I don't know of what exactly. I
don't know if it was the kind of shotgun that

(11:18):
you would use to, like, say, take out a deer.
I have no idea, but I guess my response to
that would be, are we sure that the water buffalo
isn't like uniquely prepared to handle gunshots? And is that
the best way to go? Especially if we're in neighborhoods,
like he's kind of wandering through like we have to be.

(11:38):
This isn't like you're in hunting grounds. This isn't like
you're in the wilderness. This guy's literally wandering through people's
yards and on bike trails. Are we sure we want
to take another rifle or shotgun shot at this guy
to try to take him out? Is that the best
plan of action? Maybe we can learn to live around
him well, or maybe hear me out. And this is
just me. We just had the Eyewa State Fair and
there were competitions for this sort of thing. You would

(11:58):
think at some point somebody who knows how to rope
something like this could do that. Once we locate him,
he can't be moving that fast. He's a water buffalo.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
You know you could do put like like a boom
box on the water buffalo, and then every time he
comes around, it's fun music playing. It's kind of fun.
It's like a party. It's like, Hey, there's the buffalo.
He's got the music.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
You said no ideas are bad ones. Right.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I didn't say that, but I guess that's the I
guess that's the role. Now, now that we've thrown that
out there, stevens to go on a boombox. We can't
even get close to this guy, and you want to
put a boom box on his back instead of roping
him and carrying him back to his place.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
How about this put roller skates on him. Then you
got a water buffalo with roller skates. Yeah, it's a
it's a great idea. I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'm sure his hoofs are uniquely fitted to be able
to get on roller skates. This sounds like an actual
episode of Cow and Chicken, except those were anthropomorphized. Ray's
on the line four, two, five, five, eight to eleven, ten, Right,
please be more help than Matt is Well.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
I really don't understand why you couldn't tranquilize it.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
You said it's just outside, right it is?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, Okay, well right up there in AAMS you got
one of the best vet colleges there.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Is in the country.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
I'm sure they could send a couple of students down
and take.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Care of you, right, or you know, if they needed
more expertise specifically on this species, which is not usually
found in North America for much of any reason. There's
a zoo right there with people that take care of
like that take care of weird exotic hoof stock all
the time, right, like they should. Yeah, you think they'd
have people to ask. We'll see how the resolution of

(13:32):
this thing is. My fear is that they're just going
to try to take this thing out because that's the
easiest thing to do. I just feel like that's also
like just such a dumb way to go about this,
because there are I think there are other solutions here.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, well, if they if they end up taking them out,
have send me the back straps.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, well, they're really good.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I've heard that as well, right for whatever, that's why,
all right, appreciate that. Yeah, and I don't know how
old it is again, If if this is a if
this is a juvenile. I don't know if it's the
same thing of like veal like, I don't know if
the same thing applies. Keith says, wait till he turns purple,
then somethime with a purple water buffalo gun? Is that
a reference to something? David says, talk to the zoo

(14:15):
and get the proper tranquilizer. Well, zoo, the thing about zoos,
they'll tranquilize some of their animals to give them medical
attention if they're unsure that. Like, let's say they have
like a snow leopard, and the snow leopard is not like,
it's not an animal that's just going to be put
on a leash and you can walk it to the
vet to get taken care of. Right, they have to,
like and you can see this on some of the

(14:36):
zoo shows. Right, they have certain code words or things
that they do to make the animal comfortable. And then
they have to be like very precise with where they
use a tranquilizer, and they do it from point blank
range to make sure it's it works properly. Does that
make sense? I guess the fear would be you're not
going to be able to get close enough to the
water buffalo to make that accurate of a shot to

(14:57):
really be able to incapacitate it. That would be my
only guess with the tranquilizer thing, because that the tranquilizer
wasn't on the table either for the mountain line. For
whatever reason they said, we just have no way to
know that we're gonna hit him in a spot that's
going to make a difference.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Maybe this water buffalo just needs to get a job,
you know, incorporate yourself into society. I think there's a
way we can live together in harmony.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I just I don't know if that's the case, especially
if he's aggressive and starting eventually to charge at people more.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Bouncer at a bar.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Would you be okay if you looked out your window
and like your front yard has a water buffalo just
grazing on it, Like, would you be okay with that?
I mean, yeah, your lawn's getting mode. But at what cost?
You know how many cowpies you're probably gonna have out there?
You're gonna clean that up? Four point thirty if you've
got ideas four h two five five, eight, eleven ten
News Radio eleven ten kfab Emery Sunger on news radio

(15:48):
eleven ten, kfab I wanted to talk about this water
buffalo that's on the loose in eastern central Iowa in
the Moynes suburb called Pleasant Hill, and it's just on
my radar. I was like, okay, so how would you
handle this? This is a water buffalo belongs to a person.
They know who it belongs to. I don't know the
person's name. Apparently the person was trying to help corral

(16:11):
this water buffalo once it escaped, and when they got
close to it, it became aggressive. Apparently they could run faster.
I had David send me a water buffalo video. They
can move pretty quick, and when they're carrying, you know,
eight hundred to one thousand pounds, you would think you
probably not gonna want to get in the way of that.
And I don't know what the likelihood is of being

(16:32):
able to rope one of these guys and be able
to get it to go where you want it to go. Well,
I'm trying to figure out what to do here and
getting help from you. We've had plenty of calls already,
and Genie is on the line now at four h
two five five, eight eleven ten. Hey, Geenie, what do
you think, Yes, the Zeus.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Sends thousands of dollars bringing animals to Omaha, why don't
they tranquilize it and just take it to himry georgy Zoop.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, so, Genie, that's an interesting thing. The tranquilizing part,
I think is the challenge, right because I think if
they could get this this water buffalo under control, if
you will, I think they would try to return it
back to its owner, because the owner, I think had
it legally. I don't know what that looks like. I
don't know how you get a water.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Buffalo at the zoo, and at least it would have
them be corralled.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, well, you're right. I just think I think the
biggest issue is trying to get it corralled though, and
that I mean tranquilizing is what I would prefer, Genie.
I think everybody would like to see a happy ending
of this and the water buffalo get to live as
you know, whatever that means for a water buffalo. But
it is an interesting conversation, Genie, and we really appreciate.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
The zoo would know how to handle it because they're
used to being around those kind.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Of an Absolutely, I would, I mean, you have to
call them. I think you should call them just for
their expertise on the animal itself. I mean, even if
they don't house the animal, they would know what to
do in that scenario. And like we talked about, I'm
sure they have. I'm sure they are. I can't necessarily, Jeannie,
I can't prove that, but that would be if let's

(18:11):
say I was in charge. That's the first place I'm calling.
And then obviously I don't like.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
To see animals just killed for no reason. No, because
it's wandering around, it's not itsself.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I agree. I really hope that that has a happy
ending for sure. Jeanie, thanks for the call. I really
appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Thank you, Thank you, Marie. I like your show.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thank you so much, Jennie. It means a lot to me. Yeah,
I agree. I'm not all about killing things for no reason.
And it is. It's it's a tough thing. It's not
its fault. I was going to say, Iowa State, being
in Central Iowa as well, they know a thing or
two about the ability to handle maybe larger livestock. Again,

(18:51):
I'm not sure about water buffalo or if there's anybody
specifically trained to deal with the water buffalo. But I mean,
how different is a water buffalo than a regular bison
buffalo thing. There are plenty of those in Iowa, right,
And again Genie suggested, you know, like the zoo being
an option, it's a little bit more complicated for the

(19:11):
zoo than that. I don't think the zoo would ever
want to take that on, especially, I mean, it would
have to be a very specific situation. But having an
outside species of something and be able to adopt it
a water buffalo, I think are a little bit more.
They would already have to need, like a population in
some cases, sometimes a herd scenario. You have to have
the right fit for an animal. Now, this animal that

(19:34):
we're talking about specifically is owned by a person privately.
My understanding is if they can get the water buffalo
without having to kill it, they would just return it
to that person and it would be their responsibility. Now,
I think this person also has to bear some responsibility
for all the resources. There are drones and officers on
ATVs now trying to locate this guy. I'm going to

(19:55):
be incredibly disappointed if they decide they have to kill it.
At the same time, if they give me an explanation
that there was just no other way for whatever reason,
and they could explain that to me, then we can
have that conversation. And I'm not going to pretend like
I'm an expert in that field. But I'm with Genie
that I'm not a big fan of just eliminating animals
because they're in our way. At the same time, if

(20:17):
this animal is becoming a real nuisance to the public
or a danger to the public in some way, kind
of like a mountain lion that's living in somebody's neighborhood,
I think the status quo was changed enough to where
we have to make an adjustment. Pat's on the phone
line of four O two five, five, eight eleven ten. Hey, Pat,
what's up?

Speaker 5 (20:34):
I love that. I'm just hoping to get.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, Pat, Pat, can you turn your radio down real
quick for me? Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
My animals, there's been getting mylon persons in jim, you know,
from mutual animal to wreguling. Why don't you just get
in my vehicles? You know, if you got any TV
and run this animal drops, she'll get exhausted, our shield
will get exhausted and she'll just stop run him either.

(21:07):
Why is it there? Nobody wants to see this guy
get put down.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, I agree now, and that's a that's actually a
really good idea, Pat, especially if this is an animal
that's gonna run instead of like try to fight. Then yeah,
I mean you would think at some point it would
slow down, wear down and have be a lot easier
to catch, you would think. I mean, he's been on
the run for two days, so you think if you
just worked him out just a little bit more, maybe
that would be the way to do it.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
You would say. But maybe they're just stopping after a hole.
You know, he had a big animal like this, he
could do damnage depends just a water buffalo. But animal.
You don't want to be in the way of that, you.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Know, No, for sure, for sure. I mean a loose horse.
You know, it's the same thing.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
Of all kingdom.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure if you can get Perkins.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
No, you're you're right about that.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Yeah, no problem, put down?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
No, I want one hundred percent agree, Pat, Thanks so
much for the call today.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
I appreciate your show.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Thanks man, love to hear it.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, again, I don't want to put myself in the
position of the guys on the ATVs. And I'm sure
it's a lot easier said than done to try to
get into a position where this animal is going to
do what you want it to do. Just to reiterate,
if you're wondering where this water buffalo is, it's to
the east of the Moines, so it's not necessarily close
to us here. It's just a scenario that kind of

(22:41):
reminded me of that mountain lion from last year. But
it's a different kind of animal, because this is an
animal that's not even like you never see a water
buffalo anywhere around here usually except for very specific farms. Now,
the Iowa State Fair has this thing called the Avenue
of Breeds, which is a bunch of different breeds of
cattle and horses, is and equine. I know that's kind

(23:03):
of redundant, but hogs from all over the world. It
was pretty interesting, and I guess there's a chance that
this water buffalo could be somewhat related to That's the
only time I've ever seen a water buffalo in person.
If I have seen one, I can't even like tell
you for sure that I've done that, But I don't.
I think the water buffalo there's got to be a
better way than just hunting it down and trying to

(23:24):
erase it from planet Earth. I feel like it's not
a kind of dangerous that a mountain lion potentially could
be for neighborhoods, even though it can be a dangerous
animal one thousand pounds wandering around. A loose horse. We
know horses not to be generally very aggressive. A loose
horse could be a real problem for people going around,
especially with the way they can kick. And I'm not
so sure about a water buffalo. Well, if you got thoughts,

(23:45):
borrow two five five eight, eleven ten, we roll on
on a Monday on news radio eleven ten, kfab Is
it a big one? Is it a little one? Is
it like legless? Is it something with a lot of legs?
What's the what's the worst? What's the worst situation you
can find yourself in with an exact animal from this
area that's from not from this area, not from this area,
but would be in this area, and you're just like, oh,

(24:06):
what the heck is that doing here? I feel like
water buffalo is pretty low on my list.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, I'd have to work my way down to
that for sure.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Is it a snake? I feel like snakes are pretty avoidable. No,
I got my answer. Yeah, scorpion. If I see a
scorpion anywhere near here, that would be a problem for me.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Are they pretty aggressive?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't think they're aggressive, but they have eight legs
and a stinger on the back, And it's just like
if you run into one of those. And I know
a lot of people have seen them in the wild.
You know, you have to be in like really warm
weather places usually to see them. But it's like, what
the what what happened? Like? Would you what do you
think scorpion? Or is there one that I was thinking?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Grizzly bear?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Oh, now I see a scorpion. You can kind of
avoid contact with, or you can just kind of like
brush it away. If you have like a long stick.
A grizzly bear probably be a problem. Yeah, if you
see a grizzly beer somewhere in here, we got major issues.
That grizzly bear is gonna be looking to wreak some
havoc and you can't push it away with a stick.

(25:10):
It'd probably just grab the stick, break it in half,
and come after you anyway, And those are big time
meat eaters, So you know, yeah, I don't I don't
you might be onto something there. I don't know. Well,
if you got something on your mind, you can call
it a four h two five, five, eight to eleven
ten and we're gonna talk football coming into the five
