This awe-inspiring buffalo is taking a break near Kwaggasrand, on the way to the Afsaal picnic spot in the Kruger National Park. Buffaloes have a lifespan of about 23 years. Bulls fight to determine their ranking in the herd. The skin of their necks is exceptionally thick to protect them against competitors’ horns during such fights.

The footage has once again been provided by Katie and André of Two-V Productions. We thank them for their great videos. Please subscribe to their YouTube channel and follow their Facebook page. Books in their Op Vlerke series can be ordered from Kraal Uitgewers. The books, which are only available in Afrikaans, can also be found at shops in rest camps of the Kruger National Park.
