An aggressive water buffalo escaped from its owner in Iowa over the weekend and is still on the loose as of Tuesday. Authorities in Pleasant Hill issued a warning for residents to steer clear of the creature and not to approach it, as it may have been injured when officers shot at it. The owner informed police that the buffalo is aggressive, prompting a search effort to locate and return it safely. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office deployed a drone and ATVs to search along bicycle trails near Little Fourmile Creek. The safety of the community is the top priority, and all available resources are being used to prevent any potential harm. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available. Residents of and around Des Moines are advised to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the buffalo to authorities. Keep checking for further updates on the situation.
