What is a "buffalo"?

The buffalo is a large mammal belonging to the Bovidae family, known for its robust build and distinctive appearance. Buffaloes have a massive body with a large head, curved horns, and a shaggy coat of fur that can vary in color from dark brown to black. They are herbivorous animals and are typically found in grasslands and savannas, forming large herds that graze on grass and other vegetation. Buffaloes are known for their formidable strength, with males often weighing over a ton, and their ability to survive in challenging environments. They have a social structure, with strong family bonds, and are known for their group behavior, stampeding when threatened. Buffaloes are iconic animals, often associated with the African and North American wilderness.
