Mixed Media - Digital Sun, Acrylic Buffalo Painting
Description
They charge thousands of people a year, and gore over 200. They attack and cause serious injury with the tips of their huge, curved horns, or by head butting with their "boss" which is the solid shield of horn that covers the skull where the horns emerge. The largest males approach 2,000 pounds and 6 feet at the shoulder and take nearly 10 years of growing to reach full size.
Full grown individuals are rarely targeted by large predators, but weakened adults and calves are hunted by lions. Even for a large pride of lions however, attacking any member of a Cape buffalo herd is extremely perilous. Herd members will come rushing to each-others aid, and many a full grown lion has been gored to death by the Cape buffalo's incredible horns ! -

- I once saw a big buffalo cross a dirt road right in front of me in Africa. - He totally ignored my car slowly driving towards him. He did not look right, he did not look left - just moved straight ahead like a tank and disappeared into the bush. - H.
