I was actually on foot when I took this picture…a walking safari in Tanzania, Afric. The Cape buffalo can be nasty if surprised or threatened and they’re awfully big…like 800+ pounds…and there’s those horns. After some nervousness, I believed our guide that the buffalo were SOMEWHAT habituated to people as long as we paid attention. He also just happened to have a rifle. Though I’m pretty sure a rifle wouldn’t be enough to stop these behomeths. In addition to the fact that I’d hate for one to be shot just because we were walking in their environment!
