Sometime round about 1990 I visited one of the museums in Bloemfontein and amongst others there were several displays of an extinct species of buffalo with horns of at least 3 meter width.

If you were to go to http://www.meanwhile.co.za/mnw2e_buffalo.htm you will be able to read more about these giants of the past.

Met this one at Sonop in February this year

A really good specimen you found Pumbaa- not quite a mega buffalo at the moment but looking at the abundance of "soft" surface fiber on his horn boss makes it clear that he is still relatively young and his horns are likely to grow a lot wider - Gerrie.

Now how would one measure that one?

Can I pass it on?

You would use a tape measure , and measure across from one horn tip to the other .
Caution - I suggest you blindfold boetie first

Hi Okie, Now that is an exceptional buffalo and certainly MEGA BUFFALO at that.

He must be a devil when side swiping !

Gerrie.
