The Retired Major!

The African buffalo or Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large sub-Saharan African bovine. The adult African buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature: they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield across the top of the head referred to as a "boss". It is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on the African continent, and according to some estimates it gores, tramples, and kills over 200 people every year.

 

The very old dagga boy was photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
