Females and their young generally make up the majority of a herd while male buffaloes live in bachelor groups. When in danger, a young calf will bellow for its herd, which will defend it.
The Cape buffalo is known as one of the "Big Five" game animals along with leopards, lions, rhinos and elephants. The name comes from hunters who wanted these large animals for trophies
Cape buffalo are very social animals and live in herds of a few hundred. However, the buffaloes are non-territorial and have been known to live in mixed herds up to 1,500 animals, especially in the Serengeti.
