Racehorse injuries generally a mixture of sand, silt and clay. Turf tracks are usually Bermuda grass in warm climates and a mixture of Fescue, Bluegrass and Rye in more temperate climates. Synthetic tracks are generally a mixture of sand, synthetic fibers, rubber and wax. Synthetics are differentiated by brand names such as Polytrack, Tapeta Footings and Cushion Track. North American racing is run on all three types of tracks and provides the best basis for a comparison on how track composition affects injuries and fatalities. The EID was finally able to provide statistics on racing related fatalities in March 2010. The TOBA
Water buffalo of "Bubalus" species implies that the domestic buffalo originated from at least two populations, and that the river and the swamp types have differentiated at the full species level. The genetic distance between the two types is so large that a divergence time of about 1.7 million years has been suggested. The swamp type was noticed to have the closest relationship with the tamaraw. By 2011, the global water buffalo population was about 172 million head. More than 95.8% of the world population of water buffalo are kept in Asia, including both river and swamp types. The water buffalo population
