Cape buffalo live in the savannah woodlands and plains, and are never more than one day's walk from a water source.
Cape buffalo vary in color, usually dark brown or black, although the females tend to be lighter than the males. Color, horn size and horn shape are distinctions that can identify young buffaloes from old, and males from females.

Cape buffalo are herbivores and depend on grass as their dietary staple. Because the buffaloes do not have many predators, the availability of grass regulates the buffalo population more than anything else.
