Cape buffalo: the widow maker

The Cape Buffalo has earned its place as one of Africa's deadliest animals. Armed with a massive pair of horns, a thick hide and a volatile temper this is one bovine you wouldn't want to double cross. Other than humans lions are the only predators brave enough to take on this mighty beast but even for them, the tables can turn in an instant. A lone buffalo is dangerous but it's the collective muscle of a mighty herd that make these animals a real force to be reckoned with.
