   Een van die statige sterk diere in die diereryk, wat in my oë gesag afdwing. Mooi foto’s.

      Ek stem absoluut saam, Elsabe. Hierdie is nie die Jersey-koeie by die plaaslike melkery nie!

   Coincidentally, on the National Geographic Channel, I saw a buffalo defend itself from a lion that was already at his throat. The buffalo lived and the lion had to find another meal.

      Lions are the biggest threat to fully-grown buffaloes, but their meal is never guaranteed and lions are regularly injured and even killed when taking on buffaloes.

         After watching the video I saw, I can certainly see it must be a hungry lion that might even attempt it.

   These buffalos are strong and they know how to defend themselves. Tremendous job by Joubert! Thank you guys! 🙂

      You are right, H.J. African Buffaloes are notoriously ill-tempered and extremely powerful – not to be taken lightly!

    Great photos, Joubert. That is quite a large herd of buffalo. I’m curious: their horns are as impressive as the rhino, yet they are not harmed for their horns as the rhinos are?

       You are right, Lois, and it makes the point again just how nonsensical the use of rhino horn in traditional medicine is!
