During the midday heat, the wild Asian buffalo frequently wallows in water or muddy pools, sometimes almost completely submerged, with only its nostrils showing. In addition to keeping it cool, wallowing helps to remove skin parasites, biting flies, and other pests.

Their skins do not have sweat glands like humans do & therefore can't sweat to lose heat. The only way for them to cool off will be to immerse themselves in a body of water

Since they have black skin they absorb more of the suns heat, so they have to cool off more.
Buffaloes are not natives of the Indian subcontinent, they come from more humid climates.

Huh, I didn't know they could talk to each other. Doesn't sound like a species that likes water.
