It helps to take the time to develop a relationship with the buffaloes before ever attempting this passing.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes they will turn around and give way but not necessarily.<\/p>\n<p>Always look around and assess the situation and see whether they are being chased by dogs or another member of the herd or if there has been a fight or a male is in hot pursuit of a female. It&#8217;s a thing.<\/p>\n<p>Stop to see if they move to one side before taking a deep breath to decide. Always keep an eye on the horns and remain still until they have passed well out of hoof range because a kick can also cause serious damage.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As the strongest animal of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, known as &#8220;the good helper&#8221;
