You sure Classic is more realistic than COTW?

Post by Ravenousfox »

Why is it in Classic the Water Buffalo horns are really exaggerated in size compared to real life?
COTW Water Buffalo horns look more realistic than Classic Water Buffalo.
Here are some pics to compare:

The COTW looks like a Cape Buffalo. EW probably called it a WB by mistake. Just my opinion.

Wrong type of horn structure for the buffalo found in Argentina anyways. The buffalo found there tend to have short, tightly curling horns.

I honestly feel like they don't do that much research with the animals in COTW.
