Of course there water buffalo in Italy.

In any case, one need only type "buffalo" which explains the relatively high percentages.

Typing in squash for the 'what's a sport and a vegetable' question it crossed my mind that squashes have seeds. A quick Google confirmed my suspicions; it is considered a fruit, even pumpkins. Don't know if the question should change though as I'm sure most view it as a vegetable. (Or a diluted syrup you add water too.)

Would pickleball work? Since pickle is a vegetable and pickleball is a racket sport

A pedantic comment, but in the "Magic Mike" question, please change the "off of" to "on." The misuse is becoming increasingly common, but it's easy to remember the correct usage by thinking of what "base" means.
