Oink the Water Buffalo, Haslams Lane

Oink the Water Buffalo
Chilling on a Sunday at his home on Haslams Lane. To answer Emma’s question, he really is called Oink. He grew up with pigs, and maybe even considers himself one…albeit with giantism.

Oink now has a website, and there is an appeal for his safety.

This is a great photo of Oink, captures his personality beautifully!
Would you be willing to allow Mark to add it to Oink’s own website to help visitors there see how lovable he is?
Thanks,
Colin.
