Water Buffalo Tooth

Water Buffalo Tooth

    The water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis, is a large bovine that has been domesticated for thousands of years and revered for its significant role in agriculture and culture across Asia and beyond.
    These robust animals are classified into two main types: the river and swamp buffalo, each adapted to different environmental niches. Notably, their dental structure plays a critical role in their ability to thrive in diverse environments.
    Unlike many mammals, they lack upper incisors, having instead a tough, keratinized pad against which the lower incisors cut vegetation. This efficient dental arrangement enables them to feed on a variety of plant materials, from coarse grasses to aquatic vegetation, facilitating their role as grazers in the ecosystem.
    Moreover, their strong, broad molars are essential for breaking down fibrous plant material, ensuring effective digestion and nutrient absorption. This dental adaptability is key to the water buffalo’s resilience.

      WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

      You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

      We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

      With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

      Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.

      — TERRY MUDGE, FOUNDER & SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR
