The devotees of the deity Oya consider it taboo to eat the buffalo. <br />This deity is believed to be the mother of all buffalos. <br />A hunter once went into the bush to hunt and as he was laying in an ambush for animals on a tree he saw a buffalo next to a termite’s nest. As he was getting ready to shoot the buffalo, he saw that the buffalo turned into a beautiful woman, who put clothes on and hid its skin inside the termite’s nest. <br />The hunter was astonished and could not do anything until the animal-woman left the spot.
