Male buffaloes are called bulls and females are called cows. A male's head appears much larger because of its long beard. An adult male Buffalo averages 11½ feet in length and stands about six feet tall from ground to hump. While females average a little smaller these very large creatures weigh around 2,000 pounds.Buffaloes are very large animals that sort of resemble a bull.
