Draft animal on a rice paddy (5,7)

I believe the answer is:

water buffalo

(Other definitions for water buffalo that I've seen before include "beast of burden" , "Large ox" , "Large Asian beast domesticated for use as a draft animal" , "Asian ox-like animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
