Thats the last time im going a field full of them!!!!

I have seen a programme on TV where the naturalists were following a pride of lions. One day some water buffalo attacked the pride, scattering the adults, then searched through the long grass for the cubs, which they trampled.

I heard people say quite a few times that water buffalo are the most dangerous animals in Africa - there's not much they're afraid of, and they're VERY big, strong and fast!

That was on Fridays ITV evening news

I read that there are more people killed by hippos than lions in Africa. Apparently they will attack anything in the water including boats without provocation.

I don't know about 'without provocation', being charged at by a boat would probably provoke me. The trouble is that for a two-ton beastie they're very good at not being spotted when they're in the water, accidentally get too close and they do have a pop
