African Buffalo

[Sprocky]

Flutters, I think that has to do with the TB research.

[iNdlovu]

yup, there are quite a few branded buffs in KP. The brand indicates TB free buff, born on a buff breeding farm

[Richprins]

Any ideas?




I don't think it's blood...

Either this Buff horned a fruiting tree or it could be the result of a parasite infection?

There was some discussion on social media regarding this 'blood' on the buffs boss.

It could be that he pushed his head into a carcass to bite off his meal.
Or he could rub his boss against a tree which has red wood just under the layer of bark.

There was another pic though of a piece of 'bollie' on the boss. That, I think, might be a bit difficult to explain.

I also saw this same discussion going on somewhere else but can't find it now...had quite a good explanation.

[Lisbeth]

What Dewi said sounds quite logical, which does nor mean that there are not other explanations

[nan]

agree... is not blood... maybe fruits when marking

and the little one... mixed with a Dog

[Polentswa]

There is always a lot of animals around Tamboti in the evening so you don't even need to go all the way to the Tarred H7 for a late drive ..This ol Buff was seen 300 metres from the camp gate
