BIG FIVE: AFRICAN BUFFALO


...BUFFALO...


 ...as noted in the previous post, these beasts are very plentiful and as we saw first hand the favourite meal of the lions...
                       
 ...a bit of welcome rain allowed this herd a much needed mud bath...

 ...which helps keep irritating parasites off their skin...
 
 


...and when they raise their head like this it's a sign of aggression...

...maybe time to move back a bit...

...this poor old beast lost a horn...

 ...and been a long time since his last spa treatment...

...no water in site so heading for some shade...
