African Buffalo
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
The African Buffalo (also known as the Cape Buffalo or Black Death) is a bovine (cloven hoofed animal). They are not related to the slightly larger Water Buffalo but the ancestry of these great creatures remains unknown. Because of its aggressive behavior, it has not been domesticated like the Domestic Asian Water Buffalo.

They can be up to 1.6 meters high, 3 meters long, and can weigh from 500-900kg. The males are larger than the females. The African Buffalo's power and size makes it easy to defend itself. They have been known to kill hyenas, lions, and other wild predators. They have been known to even kill humans. Because of this, the African Buffalo has taken its place in the African Big Five.
