If you think a Cape buffalo won't attack unprovoked, think again....

Pukker time!

I reckon he may be a problem to you now that he got the result he wanted.

I enjoyed the young lady imploring the driver to go "faster...FASTER!!"

There are some whom might be tempted to have dropped onto the back of that thing. Wrestle him to the ground and tie him up.

Not me though...

I know more than one person that with just the right amount of liquid courage would’ve done that. Or tried, anyway. I would’ve been available to say a nice word at his funeral.

 

[sambarhunter]

perhaps he has been provoked previously...and remembers.

Hope your buff insurance!

That is only slightly terrifying... I would have been hollering with the girl. FASTER!! I'm thankful that no one was hurt and that the truck survived the encounter!!

@Jfet it makes me thankful that our encounter in June didn't go down like this. It obviously could have turned bad quickly!!! Only way you'll get that close again is after a piece of lead goes through its heart, so awesome job on the one taking the video. Here are a couple pictures to show how close we were to a similar scenario. Note, this is with minimal zooming. All shots taken within 50-100yd distance of 2 different groups of buffalo.

I´ve had this experience twice, makes your heart beat a little faster.

Perfect training for the old grump.
Charge a truck, it runs away; "I am the boss!"

 

[wipartimer]

He just wanted to share some biscuits

 

[MAdcox]

Grumpy, isn’t he.
