Mammals · Big Five
Buffalo
Powerful grazers that gather in large herds.
Cape buffalo form herds that can number in the hundreds. They look placid but are unpredictable when threatened, which is one reason they are counted among the Big Five.
You will see buffalo in nearly every park, often wallowing in mud or grazing on open plains. Lone old bulls tend to be the most defensive.
