Standing tall at 1.4m (shoulder height) and weighing between 550kg - 700kg, this is one of the magnificent members of the Big Five of South Africa. Cape Buffalo prefer areas of open pasture, close to jungle and swampy ground where they can wallow. The main herd consists of all sexes and ages, though bachelor groups are also found. A male is recognizable by the thickness of his horns. Bulls mature at eight years of age. Cows first calve at five years of age, after a gestation period of 11.5 months.Other than man, they have few natural predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and sometimes kill) lions, who will attack only old, sick, or immature buffaloes.

Dang! What a puss. i have seen this somewhere before...oh yes, there it is, when I roll over in bed every morning-it's HIM! Thats an awesome shot. It reeks of POWER! That bull is sheer power. Any lion would have to be crazy to attack that, but they do. I wish you would have posted just the center face. HOWEVER, it's a very creative arrangement you have there. i think this is your best one yet. Dang...I hope you can run FAST!
