Healthy buffaloes represent herbivores that are ready to fight any predator. Buffaloes also regularly rescue other animals and most of them are successful.
An adult buffalo is never afraid to fight a hyena. But it seems the buffalo in the video below is too confident in its ability.
The buffalo is indifferent to the fight with the hyena and is not afraid to run away, it still gives the hyena affectionate gestures.
Hyenas are completely different, they take advantage of every hour and minute to attack and erode the health of buffalo.
The buffalo was indifferent to minor injuries and it was time for him to realize the pain of being eaten by a hyena. It’s a stupid moment and it’s the most expensive survival lesson.
The wild buffalo (Synceros caffer) is one of the large animals in Africa, classified in the “Big Five”, the most dangerous group of animals in this land. An adult buffalo has a body length of 2.1-3 m; body weight can reach 500 – 1,000 kg. The buffalo’s most recognizable feature is the pair of horns that fuse at the corner base, forming a continuous bony shield known as a “hump”.
The African buffalo has keen senses to detect predators through a combination of visual, olfactory and auditory cues. The animal is capable of detecting lions at a distance of 1 km.
Unlike the gentle, somewhat shy Asian water buffalo, the African wild buffalo has never been domesticated.
Therefore, although they are herbivores, buffaloes have an aggressive and fierce temperament, in many cases they are ready to fight off the most fierce predators.
