African Buffalo

About African Buffalo

African buffalo are the only member of the Big Five not endangered. There are still about 400,000 across Africa. They live in herds of up to 1,000 animals, led by older females. Unlike most herbivores, they'll actively defend herd members under attack, sometimes forming a wall against predators. Bulls are notoriously unpredictable and dangerous; more hunters have been killed by buffalo than by lions. The largest herds are in the Serengeti and the Okavango Delta.
