Because their front feet are bigger than their hind hooves, they can support their massive horns, head, and neck. They have subpar hearing and eyesight, but a keen sense of smell. These Are Gregarios Creatures That Live in Herds. The buffalo, one of the “Big Five,” is regarded as one of the most hazardous African game to hunt. There are nicknames like “Black Death” and “Widow Maker.”
