~ After the event, Anthony commented that he's seldom seen such skittish African Buffalo. We'd slowly driven down a track in tall grass, when a herd of buffalo saw our arrival and ran across the track as if predators were in pursuit. The brief stampede included a number of newborn calves, whose presence may have increased the herd's vigilance. We didn't want to alarm them, so slowed down. They stared at us with greater intensity than one usually notices with buffalo. The charm of the calves and nobility of the protective adults resulted in these images.
