Dugga Boy…

… is the term for a Cape Buffalo bull who is no longer with its herd. Such bulls life either in small groups or alone.

The separation from their herd can have one of two reasons. They might be very old and no longer able to keep up with the herd and/or no longer willing to fight the younger bulls for position.

Or they might just be taking a time-out from rank fighting and looking after the ladies. In that case they will stay away for a while, improve their condition by feeding well and getting strong to return back to their herd in due course. This picture shows such a Dugga Boy!
