Buffalo

The Cape Buffalo is one of the Big Five. The phrase Big Five game was coined by hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. They are often considered the most dangerous of the Big Five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths, with wounded animals reported to ambush and attack pursuers.

What a character!
