Buffalo |
|
(Syncerus caffer) |
|
The buffalo's height is almost five feet. There is little hair on the skin (almost none in older animals) except as a fringe on the ears and tail. Horns grow on both sexes, very heavy and massive in the male. The bases of the horns may expand to meet in the middle of the head, and form a solid shield impenetrable to bullets. The width of the horns may be up to three and a half feet across the bends. A charging buffalo points its head straight forward, with the horns thrown back, lowering its head sideways just as it strikes. Wounded buffalo are savage and vindictive animals, however, with considerable cunning in catching their enemy of guard. |
