intori

Intori, also known as the African buffalo or Cape buffalo, is a large bovine native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of the most widespread and successful large herbivores on the continent. Intori are characterized by their massive build, dark brown or black coat, and distinctive ridged horns that fuse at the base, forming a helmet-like structure. They are social animals, typically found in herds that can range in size from a few individuals to several hundred. These herds offer protection from predators, which include lions, hyenas, and crocodiles.

The diet of the intori consists primarily of grasses. They are grazers and spend a significant portion of their day foraging. Intori are known for their powerful build and aggressive nature, especially when threatened or protecting their young. This has earned them a reputation as one of Africa's most dangerous animals. Despite their formidable nature, they are also prey animals and play a vital role in the African ecosystem. Intori inhabit a variety of habitats, including savannas, grasslands, and woodlands, often near water sources. Their conservation status is generally considered least concern, though local populations can be affected by habitat loss and poaching.
