Buffalo – (Syncerus Caffer), photograph Koos van der Lende: Buffalos are large ox-like animals standing approximately 65 inches at the shoulder. They are found in dense forest to open plains where there is enough grass, shade and water. They frequently remain in the vicinity of water because they drink regularly.

Buffalos are herbivorous grazers and are found in groups with the dominant bull normally the oldest in the herd. Both sexes have horns but those of males are more robust and heavier. They are unpredictable animals that can be dangerous when wounded or cornered.
