Mammals of Lake Nakuru National Park
Buffalo Challenge

This buffalo was challenging the car I was in but the challenge was discredited by the piece of grass he seemed to be smoking in the corner of its mouth. I am always careful with buffalos although when in a herd, they are usually less cranky than when an old bull is alone or in a small group of bulls.

Nikon D700, Sigma 150-500mm OS at 380mm, F6.3, 1/200s, ISO 320, handheld.
