Buffalo

Buffaloes are animals that appear in The Lion King franchise.
==Information==
Buffalo can live in a variety of different environments, such as the savanna, forests and grasslands, swamps and marshlands, and mountains. Their habitat must provide a large amount of grass as well as vegetation cover for the herd. When being chased by predators, a herd will stick close together and make it hard for the predators to pick off one member. Buffalo will frequently respond to the distress call of a captured member and try to rescue it. Buffalo herds mainly consist of females and their offspring. Young males tend to keep their distance from the dominant bull, who is recognizable by his horns. Males base their hierarchy on age and size. Since larger herds are generally safer, dominant bulls sometimes tolerate younger bulls in order to keep the herd size large.
Cape buffalo are considerably large and thickly-muscled. Males can grow to be up to 1.7 meters high and 3.4 meters long. Buffalo averagely weigh in-between 500 and 900 kilograms. Males are normally larger than females. Most buffalo have dark eyes, while their fur color varies between different shades of brown, black, and gray. Upon reaching adulthood, most male buffalo have black or dark brown coats, while females tend to have more reddish coats. Calves of both genders have red coats.
Water buffalo weigh in at around 600 to 1,200 lbs, with males being larger than the females. They can be up to 3.9 to 4.4 meters tall. Their pelts are usually black, but can also be the color of slate rocks. Calves are born as gray, and as they grow, they develop the slate color adult water buffalo have. Like cape buffalo, the eyes of a water buffalo are dark.
