Also known as African buffalo or African bison, it is a large herbivorous mammal found in sub Saharan Africa. Belonging to the cattle family, it is known for its communal lifestyle and fierce defensive abilities. Large in size, male individuals are usually larger than females, with broad chests, robust limbs, and large and long horns. The habitat is diverse, and it is a social animal. The strongest cow in the herd will become the leader of the group. It is nocturnal and avoids the scorching sun during the day, often hiding in cool places or mud to stay cool. Considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, especially cows that are injured, alone, or carrying calves, can be very aggressive.
