The piece about green eyes is a bit clunky; I interpret it simply as 
Wolfe hammering home the point that green eyes are a characteristic by 
which we may identify abos.  As for the water buffalo-like creature that 
Marsch shoots, I find Marsch's explanation reasonable.  Incidentally, 
the Shadow Children are indicated to grab the Marshmen by the hair, 
a;though they do gouge out the eyes of one of them.
