A herd of approximately one-hundred African (Cape) Buffalo, Syncerus caffer, crossed in front of and around our vehicle during a morning birding expedition on August 23, 2012, on the Moremi Game Reserve (Botswana). Because of their unpredictable behavior, Cape Buffalo are dangerous to hunt and are known as 'black death' in Africa killing over 200 people every year. Wounded bulls have been known to ambush hunters by doubling back on their trail to lie in wait for their pursuer. Temperatures were in the mid-80's with clear blue skies.
