Cape Buffalo: Africa’s Tank

The formidable cape buffalo requires 20-22 humans to match its pulling strength. These unpredictable bovids engage in head-pushing contests that can last hours without signs of fatigue. Their massive neck muscles, developed for supporting heavy horned heads, translate directly into pulling power. Buffalo can easily throw off attacking lions through sheer strength rather than technique. African hunters consider them more dangerous than any predator due to their unpredictable charges and incredible stamina.
