Interesting Facts About Buffalos
Here are some interesting facts about Buffalos:
The Evolution and Origins of Buffalos
The Old World "true" buffalo, which includes the Cape buffalo and water buffalo, can be found naturally in Africa and Asia. On the other hand, bison can be found in North America and Europe.
Although both bison and buffalo belong to the Bovidae family, they are not closely related to each other.
In Africa, there is a single species of buffalo, but it is further classified into four distinct subspecies: the forest buffalo, West African savanna buffalo, Central African buffalo, and southern savanna buffalo, which is also referred to as the Cape buffalo.
Among these, the savanna buffaloes stand out as substantial, robust animals resembling cows in size and appearance.
What is the Lifespan of a Buffalo?
Bison typically have an average lifespan ranging from 10 to 20 years, although some individuals can live even longer.
Female bison, known as cows, start breeding at the age of two and give birth to a single calf at a time. In contrast, male bison reach their prime breeding age between six to 10 years.
In their natural habitat, bison have an average lifespan of approximately 15 years, while bison in captivity have the potential to live up to 25 years.
Female bison, or cows, typically start reproducing at around 2 to 3 years of age. They give birth to a solitary calf each spring following a gestation period of about 9.5 months.
