Cape buffalo always have this look on their faces like they want to kick your ass. They just stand and stare at you, squint a little as if to say you better not come an inch closer and then resume grazing after you’ve moved off. They are actually quite formidable and have been known to take down a lion or two when the lions try to get their young. We actually saw a herd of about 100 surrounding a tree that they had chased two lions up into. The standoff lasted about two hours before the buffalo moved off and the lions were finally able to come down.
I’d want to be riding around in a tank while near these buffalo. Love the shot of the lifted head taking in your scent as the buff decides whether to escalate its annoyance with you.

That’s incredible that they will do that to lions. I thought lions were at the top of the bad asses.
Again, the 2nd one in the sequence looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Nice job Sean. ;-))
