A large herd of African buffalo grazes peacefully in a vast, open grassland. The ground is covered in dry, golden grasses, stretching out to a distant horizon. A lone buffalo stands slightly apart from the main herd, observing the surroundings. The sky above is a bright blue with scattered white clouds, creating a sense of openness and tranquility.
The buffalo, also known as Cape buffalo, are powerful bovines, known for their imposing horns and defensive behavior when threatened. They typically live in herds, foraging on grasses and other vegetation. Their presence is a vital part of the Lake Nakuru ecosystem, influencing vegetation patterns and serving as prey for predators like lions and leopards.
