Cape Buffalos: A bulky animal which is one of the most dangerous mammals to be found anywhere. Weighing about 700 kg on average, with much larger individuals reported, the horn span of some mature bulls is more than a metre in width.

　　Other than man, they have few natural predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and sometimes killing) lions, who will attack only old, sick, or immature buffaloes. The leopard is a threat only to newborn calves.

　　Cape buffalo prefer areas of open pasture, close to jungle and swampy ground where they can wallow.

　　Lions: Large cats, with a smooth, sandy coloured, coat. Long tail with black tassel end. Male lions develop a mane when they are three years old. This varies in colour from blond to black. Cubs have brownish spots but they have faded 3 months old, though may remain on the belly as adult. Lions eat everything from tortoises to giraffes, but tend to hunt the prey they grew up eating, and food choices differ among prides. Lions are the only truly sociable cats. Prides include from 2 or 3 to 40 lions.

　　Lions live in Grasslands and savannas; woodlands and dense bush.

　　They live south of the Sahara Desert.
