Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Drie waterbuffels (Bubalus bubalis) in die Mekongrivier te An-eiland (Don An) in die Vierduisendeilande (Si Phan Don) in Laos, met hul koppe bokant die water. Hierdie buffels sal tydens warm weer dikwels in die water (of in modder) afkoel. Hierdie werkdiere se neustoue vergemaklik hul hantering tydens die werkseisoen, maar hulle is hier in Maartmaand nie vasgemaak nie en kan vrylik oor die hele eiland beweeg, en soms oorkant die rivier.
Deutsch: Drei Wasserbüffel (Bubalus bubalis) baden im Mekong in Don An (Si Phan Don, Laos) mit ihren Köpfen über Wasser. Diese Büffel kühlen sich oft im Wasser (oder im Schlamm) ab, wenn das Wetter heiß ist. Diese Arbeitstiere haben Nasenseile, um ihre Handhabung während der Arbeitssaison zu erleichtern, obwohl sie hier im März nicht befestigt sind und sich frei auf der ganzen Insel bewegen können, manchmal sogar den Fluss überqueren.
English: Three Bubalus bubalis (water buffaloes) bathing in the Mekong in Don An (Si Phan Don, Laos) with their heads above water. These buffaloes are often cooling themselves in the water (or in the mud), when the weather is hot. These working animals have nose ropes to facilitate their handling during the labour season, though here in March they are not attached and are free to move where they want all around the island, sometimes even crossing the river.
Français : Trois Bubalus bubalis (buffles d'Asie) se baignant dans le Mékong à Don An (Si Phan Don, Laos) avec leurs têtes au-dessus de l'eau. Ces buffles se rafraîchissent souvent dans l'eau (ou dans la boue), quand il fait chaud. Ces animaux de labour ont une corde infiltrée entre les narines pour faciliter leur maîtrise, bien qu'ici en mars ils ne soient pas attachés, et sont donc libres de circuler partout sur l'île, allant même parfois jusqu'à traverser la rivière.
