Buffalo - One of the Big 5

Buffalo. One of the Big 5 - and seemingly benign looking. Have the same poo as cattle but can be very un-bovine like in character -. in fact are very dangerous if you get them on a bad day.

Feeling twitchy.

AS I sit inputing the details on this image I can hear the continuous coverage by Sky news on the terrible after effects of the tsunami in Japan. Some of the footage is almost too visual, too horrific to absorb - more like a far-fetched Hollywood disaster  movie. Yesterday's visuals included a scene of the wave sweeping up a pile of brand new cars like a set of dinky toys, almost with contempt. Nature's revenge maybe.
