African Buffalo, Syncerus caffer, camera trap

Remote camera trap image of African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) up-close. The Cape Buffalo (Southern Savanna Buffalo) is the southern African subspecies and the largest, weighing in at almost one tonne. Hunters consider them as one of the Big Five, and as Dangerous Game but (bad-tempered old bulls aside) they are generally inquisitive animals (as this image illustrates). I love this photo; it is full of character. A great example of an image that I am more than happy for my camera trap to take for me (I would not want to be there!)

Location: Northern Cape, South Africa
