The most deadly thing about this creature is its temperament. It is one of the most aggressive and bad-tempered species on the African continent. It is also one of the most injurious animals in Africa.

In Africa, they have few natural predators other than humans.

Although lions often hunt such large buffalo, this buffalo is also capable of resisting and killing lions. Lions want to successfully kill an adult African buffalo, usually need several to act together. So lions can not be regarded as natural enemies of African wild buffalo in a sense.

Moreover, the African buffalo is still a group animal. The number of buffalo can be as high as thousands of activities together. Even a group of lions can not easily start to hunt when they meet African buffalo group.

Then there’s the fact that wounded or alone female buffalo with calves are just as dangerous to human. Be dangerous as well as lions and leopards.
