Agile!

I had no idea how agile a 700kg (1500lbs) Cape Buffalo bull can be. These two beautiful specimens were sparring for a considerable time next to a small Thanda Safari waterhole. After a vigorous display of their agility they settled down to grazing harmoniously.

These two were obviously not with a herd. As they do not appear to be old guys, I assume they were on temporary leave. Once their time-away is over they are likely to rejoin their herd and once again fight with the other bulls for a place in the herd hierarchy.
