Visitors are flocking to the once little-known Nandan county in the southwestern Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region to see a pet buffalo that can switch lights on and off using its mouth.

The buffalo, which belongs to a farmer named Mo Zhaoguang, turns on the lights of its owner's farm whenever it wants to have a bite of grass late at nights, and switches the lights off when it has had its fill.

Mo, who has had the buffalo for over 10 years, has refused to sell the animal for 10,000 yuan, even though the going rate for one is no more than half that amount.
