Massive twisted horns identify the Cape Buffalo. An adult male buffalo’s base horns merge to form a strong head shield termed a “boss.” Female Cape Buffalos possess smaller horns on safari, so they’re easy to spot. Larger-horned buffalo rank higher in the group.
Once, the Big Five term described Africa’s most challenging animals to hunt. Today, it celebrates nature’s grandeur, and this Cape Buffalo coin exemplifies that transition.
