Re: Birds an Buffalos, very interesting :)

I am going to believe Nat Geo when they say the mammals pictured are buffalo (Cape buffalo, formally speaking), which like look this http://espn.go.com/winnercomm/outdoors/general/i/P2_g_enc_illo_capebuf.jpg

and not wildebeests, which look like this:

Note the bulk of the body and the heft of the "boss" of the horns. Buff in that flyover, not wildebeest.

And....those "big, hairy, fat, shaggy beasts" from North America are more appropriately called "bison."
