   It's a shame Oink never joined the rugby club. He would have made a fantastic tighthead.

   Oink was always an absolute rock and it is so wonderful to see this majestic beast honoured. There is no greater pinnacle to make in life than making a pilgrimage to this truly remarkable field.

   Can’t believe our beloved Oink is recognized on here! This water buffalo filled my heart with joy everytime I visited Derby. With his kind eyes and loving heart he always made me feel welcome! To this day I miss him. May he rest in peace in water buffalo heaven♥️

   It fills me with unparalleled joy to see Oink’s field finally get added to this maps platform. Oink was special. He was the most personable and friendly water buffalo I ever encountered. I remember the moment I learned that Oink had left for water buffalo heaven. It was a sad day. I lost sleep for weeks. But alas, I rest easier now knowing he’s in a better place and that his legacy has been honoured by recognition on the Map of Google. I thoroughly recommend anyone with a ~35 minute journey of Oink’s field takes a visit to pay homage. Maybe leave some flowers, or even a packet of starburst (those were Oink’s favourite). Sleep easy old pal.

   So glad that Oink's field has finally been recognised on Google maps so that I can pay homage to him more frequently now that he's left for water buffalo heaven. He will be sorely missed. Really looking forward to visiting Derby again soon so I can add some quality pictures of Oink's field to this review.

   This field has a special place in my heart. Growing up it was home to Oink, a water buffalo who brought joy to the people of Derby. He was a lovely fellow who would come up to you to say hi, and outside of zoos I don't know anywhere else in the UK that had a water buffalo. Unfortunately he died a while back, but he will always be missed.
