Buffalo Dawn - African Cape Buffalo By Michael Sieve

Buffalo Dawn by Michael Sieve

The African buffalo is one of the most successful grazers in Africa. It lives in swamps and floodplains, as well as grasslands and forests of the major mountains of Africa. This buffalo prefers habitat with dense cover, such as reeds and thickets, but can also be found in open woodland. While not particularly demanding with regard to habitat, they require water daily, so depend on perennial sources of water. Like the plains zebra, the buffalo can live on tall, coarse grasses. Herds of buffalo mow down grasses and make way for more selective grazers.

Other than humans, African Cape buffalo have few predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and killing) lions. Lions do kill and eat cape buffalo regularly, and in some regions, the buffaloes are the lions' primary prey. It typically takes several lions to bring down a single adult buffalo, usually the entire pride joins the hunt; however, several incidents have been reported in which lone adult male lions have been able to successfully bring down adult animals. The average-sized crocodile typically attacks only old solitary animals and young calves, though they can kill healthy adults.
