In the small town of Soure, on Brazil's Marajó Island, military police have found a unique way to patrol roads and remote areas: they use buffalo.

These powerful animals, weighing around 800 kilograms, are ideal for the island's difficult terrain, especially during the rainy season when the roads become impassable for vehicles.

According to police, the buffalo are capable of chasing suspects through ponds and swimming through the region's dense swamps. "There are places you can't get to by motorbike or boat, but with buffalo, nothing stops you," police sergeant Ronaldo Souza told the Wall Street Journal.

In Soure, a city of about 24,000 people, police officers appear every morning in the city center on their oxen, a menacing sight for criminals. Residents boast that this is one of the few places in Brazil where you can walk around freely with a watch on your wrist without fear of being robbed.

Buffaloes are abundant on the island. Legend has it that they arrived in Marajó after a French ship sank in the 19th century, leaving the animals to swim ashore.

Today, around 600,000 buffalo live on the island, used as taxis, means of transport and a source of food, including cheese and ice cream made from their milk.

However, crime on the island is rare. The police have few cases to solve, except for the occasional family feud or theft of the buffalo themselves.

For the residents, these animals are not only a part of the local culture, but also a symbol of the security and pride of their special island.
