- "The Cape Buffalo is a distinctive African buffalo in South and East Africa. They prefer to graze close to water and are only found within 20 km of a water source. They will exhibit activity through the entire day but with resting periods of low activity in the early morning and late afternoon. Aggressive and resilient, the Cape Buffalo has been dubbed the "widow maker" by African hunters and is debatably responsible for the most hunting deaths in Africa on average. Like other African buffalo, the Cape Buffalo is extremely social herd animals that will gather in thousands in the right grazing conditions."
