An aggressive water buffalo escaped from its owner in Iowa over the weekend and has been on the loose in the Des Moines area. The police in Pleasant Hill issued a statement warning residents not to approach the animal as it may be injured and dangerous. The owner of the buffalo informed the police that the animal is aggressive, leading to concerns for public safety. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has launched a search for the buffalo using drones and ATVs along bicycle trails near Little Fourmile Creek. The police are using all available resources to keep the community safe and hopefully return the animal to its owner. The situation is still ongoing, and updates will be provided as the story develops. Residents are urged to stay vigilant and avoid engaging with the buffalo if they encounter it.
