Only the CollectA is (Bubalus arnee). All others are derived from domesticated animals. The problem is that culturally we all modeled the image of this animal from domesticated ones. Your first photo has other buffalo pecies as you know.

But for example, the Rae that is in the middle of the yak would be equivalent as wild and the small one also or the furry one as domestic?

No, both are wild derived from the domestic B. bubalis. You have the geneuinely wild B. arnee from CollectA and most of the others are the wild (feral) populations of B. bubalis. Domestic for sure is the Safari Carabao and my perception is that the Britains model is also made after a domestic buffalo and not a feral one.

And I thought they were wild and not domestic

Thank you, it is Ricolino from Mexico

Terracotta buffalo, handmade, found in Naples, in the "street of the mangers", with clear inspiration in the second cape buffalo of Schleich.
