A Defensive Stare and Stand-off, by Martin Meyer

Reverred in Africa as unpredictable and a formidable adversary, the African buffalo is a very robust species. Tracking this herd for the morning allowed us to come in really close on this sighting, which is always adrenaline pumping especially being surrounded by such a wandering herd. The old male decided that we had spent enough time photographing his haarem, and silently sent us the message to move on, with a long uninterrupted stare! Other than humans, African buffalo have few predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and killing) lions.
