Buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Unlike other mammals, both  male and  female can only move their  lower jaw and not the upper.

 As the adult  males leave the herd for part of the time, normally returning only for the rutting season, a female is usually the herd leader.

 Weighing about eight hundred kilograms when fully matured, it is still possible for them to attain a  speed of up to forty five kilometres per  hour when charging although this would vary according to circumstances.

 Mostly they are found near water in which they wallow to keep themselves cool in the heat of  the day and also to encase themselves with mud to get rid of the ticks.
