WINDHOEK (Reuters) - Namibia has put 100 of its buffalos up for sale in a bid to ease pressure on grazing land after a drought.

The government said it would auction the powerful wild animals to anyone at home or abroad who could meet welfare and legal criteria. But its newspaper advert for the sale warned: "The buyer will bear all risks."
