Wall-eyes are a peculiarity of which buffalo breed?

  1. Murrah
  2. Bhadawari
  3. Nili-Ravi — Correct Answer
  4. Surti
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Nili-Ravi

Nili-Ravi buffalo (also known as Panch-kalyani/Panchbhadra) from Ferozpur, Punjab, is characterized by wall-eyes — a condition where the iris is pale or whitish, giving the eye a distinctive appearance.

Key Features of Nili-Ravi
  • Wall-eyes (distinctive pale iris)
  • Also known as Panch-kalyani/Panchbhadra (five white markings)
  • Minimum fat percentage (4%) among buffalo breeds
  • Origin: Ferozpur, Punjab
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • Murrah: Jet black colour, tightly curled horns — no wall-eyes.
  • Bhadawari: Copper colour body, highest fat (14%), wedge-shaped body.
  • Surti: Sickle-shaped horns, from Gujarat.
