Buffalo

Buffaloes can grow up to 6.1 meters high and 3 meters long. Savannah buffaloes weigh 500 to 900 kg but forest buffaloes (we don't really talk about them much) are only half that size. African buffaloes are the most successful grazers in africa and have very few predators that can actually take them down. One of the most successful predator of the african buffalo is the lion but even the lion can't take down an afican buffalo alone. Female lions have to work together to overcome a buffalo without being seriously hurt or even killed.

The basic herd of an african buffalo is made up of related females and their offspring. The herd is surrounded by males and older buffaloes. Kingdom : Animalia Phylum : Chordata Class : Mammalia Order : Artiodactyla Family : Bovidae Genus : Syncerus
