Cape Buffalo

Cape Buffalo are quite simply intimidating and one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. No, they are not carnivores, but they do congregate in large herds with can weigh upwards of 1300 lbs. If threatened they will protect themselves very ferociously even against Lions. 

The Cape Buffalo is considered one of the "Big 5" animals of Africa, and are routinely and unfortunately sought out by trophy hunters where hunting is still allowed. 

Both images depicted were taken in Lake Nakuru, Kenya Africa this past year.
