Safe but unsecure? - a photo on Flickriver

Safe but unsecure?

            I took this image almost a year ago, and had wanted to post this one much earlier. It is just a lovely shot of a calf who looks at me with some sort of reservation (understandable, because I look very mean).  

It's a water buffalo calf, and the shot was taken in the Noordwaard, close to the Biesbosch. 

if you ask yourself, what are water buffalo's doing there, they were introduced here for maintaining the water plants. The Noordwaard is part of a river system and the buffalo's have a function in keeping the area safe against flooding.

The contractor has chosen animals instead of machines.
