Maybe a wild swamp buffalo could weight more (than a captive buffalo created to produce meat? I don't know if that would make much sense), but I don't think it would weight twice as much.

Do You think that, maybe, he made a mistake and used the value in pounds instead of kilograms in this specific beast?
The mass of the male bison on Luke's page is also 1000 kg, JSYK. It's the female that's 400.

I'm not sure where you got your research, but the first result for 'weight of water buffalo' on Google (the Wikipedia article) gave me a weight of 700-1200 kg.

Domestic water buffalo are generally lighter, but that figure's correct for ones in the wild.
