This is the 5th member of Africa's famous Big 5 - the Cape Buffalo. I have had conversations with many game rangers all over SA and they anonimously regard the Cape Buffalo as the most dangerous of the Big 5. The reason being that he is so extremely unpredictable. Apparently it is fairly easy for them to 'read' the other four in terms of behaviour, but not with this guy. (the other four are Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Elephant.) I took this shot in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. What made this guy even more dangerous is the fact that he was a lone bull - on his own quite a distance from the herd. I must admit that I felt very uneasy when I took this image. He didn't charge, but his body language told me to make myself scarce shortly after I took this shot. The image was scanned from color negative. Thank you for popping in and for any comments you might wish to make. Hugs, Carin xx
