Cape Buffalo

Cape buffalo, which number around 900,000 in the wild, are a relatively mild species when left alone, preferring to travel in massive herds as they graze in early morning and late afternoon hours, or gather around watering holes. However, if an individual (or its calf) is threatened or wounded, they become the incarnation of their nickname: Black Death. Reportedly responsible for killing more hunters on the African continent than any other creature, these behemoths, which can grow up to nearly six feet tall and weigh close to a ton, circle and stalk their prey before charging at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. They're even known to continue charging when injured, and will not hesitate to attack moving vehicles. Suffice to say, you don't want to mess with those horns.
Where to find them: The Sub-Saharan
Africa, including the Maasai Mara in Kenya, is home to cape buffalo.
