Dugga means mud!
Dugga Boy is a nickname given to older Buffalo males who have passed their prime breeding age and spend their days wallowing in mud pools. Dugga boys occur in small bachelor herds or as individuals. They are quite vulnerable and therefore more aggressive than animals in a large herd. This Thanda Dugga Boy had a good stretch before he left the Ubomvu waterhole. Ubomvu means red in the local Zulu language – a very good name considering the red soil in this area!

Excellent work and efforts. Even as an photographer i can understand how much it is important to make every picture creative that you capture specially when it comes to wildlife photography. Even i started photography to inspire others and for helping them so that they can raise themselves as an photographer.
