buffalo ears

  • mistyfriday by mistyfriday

    I was wondering if someone could help me with a question. Some of these buffalo seem to have ears that are all notched up along edges.It seems that maybe it is older ones. The youth seem to have smooth edges on their ears. I know the flies hang around the buffalo. Are the notches coming from fly bites? Or is something else causing this to happen? I know flies can cause dogs much grief including sores and I could see they would leave sores.

    If anyone knows answer I would appreciate hearing it. Thanks!
