A model design of Yara Yagi

This charming origami buffalo, designed by Yara Yagi (Brasil) is an action model, a perfect little bovine to celebrate the Year of the Ox. Yara’s origami Buffalo was created as part of a friendly competition to design a simple model using triangular-shaped paper. Yara’s use of a single square cut into two identical triangles is ingenious. I modified some angles and added minor folds to the body piece so that it is more stable to hold the head, and there is a suggestion of legs and a rump.
