African Buffalo - (Syncerus caffer)

Has been forever since I posted but things have been somewhat mad since the start of the year - think I should have a little more time now and would love to revisit our trip last year.

These guys are huge and when you see one you tend to see hundreds - they trample the ground around them and move from one spot to another on the wide open plains.

Very protective of their young - which are more than a little prone to defensive violence themselves, these animals have few predators that would think to attack a healthy adult.

Almost always in the company of white herons you can see in the photos, which I will write about in a separate post, they seem to take great pleasure bathing in the midday heat when the opportunity arises.
