Description

The African buffalo is a very robust species.Its shoulder height can range from 1 to 1.7 m and its head-and-bodylength can range from 1.7 to 3.4 m. Compared with other largebovids, it has a long but stocky body (the body length can exceedthe wild water buffalo, which is rather heavier and taller) andshort but thickset legs, resulting in a relatively short standingheight. The tail can range from 70 to 110 cm long. Savannah-typebuffaloes weigh 500 to 900 kg with males normally larger thanfemales, reaching the upper weight range. In comparison,forest-type buffaloes, at 250 to 450 kg are only half that size.Its head is carried low; its top is located below the backline. Thefront hooves of the buffalo are wider than the rear, which isassociated with the need to support the weight of the front part ofthe body, which is heavier and more powerful than the back.

Savannah-type buffaloes have black or dark brown coats with age.Old bulls have whitish circles around their eyes. Females tend tohave more-reddish coats. Forest-type buffaloes are reddish brown incolour with horns that curve back and slightly up. Calves of bothtypes have red coats.

The horns of African buffalo are very peculiar. A characteristicfeature of them is the adult bull’s horns have fused bases, forminga continuous bone shield referred to as a “boss’, which can notalways be penetrated even by a rifle bullet. From the base, thehorns diverge, then bend down, and then smoothly curve upwards andoutwards. The distance between the ends of the horns of large bullsis more than a metre. The young buffalo horn boss forms fully onlyupon reaching the age of five to six years. In cows, the horns are,on average, 10–20% smaller, and the boss is less prominent. Forestbuffalo horns are much smaller and weaker than those of thesavannah buffaloes and are almost never fused. They rarely reach alength of even 40 centimetres.
