There is an island called Maraje in the country of Brazil. It is formed where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The island is about the size of Switzerland, but the policing here is strange.

But here they say that these buffaloes were brought by French Guiana hundreds of years ago.
Four lakh 40 thousand people live in this island. This area is subtropical.. In this island which is small in terms of population and area, policemen ride on buffalo or horses and monitor the security. They patrol at night. Here the water buffaloes are not only used for patrolling, they are slaughtered and the meat is cooked and eaten. Buffalo Sticks is the most popular dish in the region. Tourists who visit the area say that the mozzarella-grazing restaurant's Buffalosticks are special.

Newly recruited policemen are trained on buffaloes in the muddy mangroves. Only those who have acquired skill in riding the buffalo are entrusted with the responsibility of patrolling. But the senior police officials here say that controlling the buffalo is a challenge. Tourists are showing interest in visiting this area as the subject became popular through social media.
