Cape Buffalo

African Resident

The horns of a cape buffalo are magnificent and distinctly curved. They spread outwards from a base, curve downwards and then upwards again. Females have narrower horns. The cape buffalo's habitat ranges from dense forests to plains and mountains. Its lives in small herds of three or four individuals in forested regions. In open plains it can be found in large congregations. Wherever it lives, the cape buffalo won't be far from water supply. It needs to drink daily and loves to wallow in the mud.
