African Buffalo

Syncerus caffer

Description:

It is not closely related to the slightly larger wild Asian water buffalo, but its ancestry remains unclear. The African buffalo is not the ancestor of domestic cattle, and is only distantly related to other larger bovines. Owing to its unpredictable nature, which makes it highly dangerous to humans, the African buffalo has never been domesticated unlike its Asian counterpart, the water buffalo.
