African buffalo

African buffalo

African Buffalo is a very powerful species. The height of the shoulder can range from 1 to 1.7 m (3.3 

to 5.6 ft) and the head and body length can range from 1.7 to 3.4 m (5.6 to 11 ft). Compared to other large cows, the body of this buffalo is long but obese (the length of its body can exceed the length of the body of the wild water buffalo, which is heavier and much longer) and is characterized by short and thick stems, which leads to a relatively short standing height. Tail length can be from 70 to 110 cm (28 to 43 inches). Buffalo buffalo weighs from 500 to 910 kg (1100 to 2,000 lb), where males are naturally larger than females, reaching the maximum weight range. The ideal male weighs 1,000 kgs (2,200 lbs). [5] By comparison, the African jungle buffalo, weighing 250 to 455 kg (550 to 1,000 lb), is only half that size. [6] [7] His head is low, his head under the line of the back. The front breezes of the buffalo are wider than that, requiring the weight of the front of the body, which is heavier and stronger than the rear.

Buffalo buffalo is covered with black or dark brown cover with age. Old bulls contain white circles around their eyes. Females tend to have a more red color. The color of the buffalo is of the type of forest brown and its horns are curved back and slightly higher. Calves of both types have red covers.

The century in the African buffalo is very distinctive. A distinguishing feature of these centuries is that they contain rules embedded in adult bulls, where they are a continuous bone barrier referred to as the "hump", which is often impenetrable even through venetian bullets. From the base, release the horns spaced apart, then bend down, then flex up and out smoothly. The distance between the ends of the horns in the large bulls is greater than one meter. The horns of the horns are not formed in the small buffalo until the age of five to six years. In cows, the pods are, on average, 10 to 20 per cent smaller, and the tusks are less prominent. The buffalo horns are much smaller and weaker than those in the savannah buffalo, and almost never merge. Its length is rarely up to 40 cm. African buffalo, affalo, nyati, mbogo or head buffalo (Syncerus caffer) are among the great African vertebrates. It is not closely related to the slightly larger Asian wild water buffalo, but its predecessors are still unknown. Because of its unpredictable nature, which makes it a major threat to humans, it has not been re-established beyond its Asian counterpart, the domestic Asian water buffalo. Contrary to popular belief, African buffalo is not a ancestor of domesticated cattle, but far from other larger cows.
