African Safari Photo Essay: Buffalo

Here are some of the shots I got while we were at the Afraican Safari of the buffalo. Zander loved them, they started to grow on Xaiver, and Joe flipped out not knowing what to feed one when it come to his window. (I will post the video after I finish up here. Be warned there is some cussing in it, but you laugh your butt off.)

Here is the first buffalo we got a visit from. Here he is on his way to us, after sharing some hay with the ox's That are in the background.

Zander feeding his first buffalo. He thought it was great. I didnt get any pictures of Xaiver feeding one. I dont think he ever did feed a buffalo. They were to big for him.

There was a little hill in the field and the buffalo seem to love it. They stayed there unless they wanted something to eat. That seemed to be there gathering place.

Joe and the boys thought it was mighty funny, when I had my back to my window busy taking pictures of what they were doing. When I turned around this is what I seen.

I let out a girl scream and about jumpped onto Joes lap. But its not everyday I turn to my van window to see a big buffalo watching me. Here is another picture of my little friend. Happy after I shared a carrot with him. Just before this, I feed a buffalo and it drooled all over my window and that is why its all messy.

There was a handfull of baby buffalo as well. They are trying to learn the ways to get some good stuff still. None of them got close to us. But we enjoyed watching them.

I love how they were showing one another some love in this one.

A buffalo with its head stuck into the van in front of us. It just shows how big they really are.

Joe feeding a buffalo. For some reason the program I had to use to get the pictures onto Gather, would not lighten this one very good.

What to do when this big is running towards your car/van? A buffalo running toward us. Its pretty scary, they stop just before they get to you. They come running if they see your window down.

They must have stopped feeding this big guy, because he was heading our way ready for something to eat.

The buffalo on there little hill liked to kick the dirt around and make little dust storms.

When we took another trip around in the afternoon, alot of the buffalo were resting on the hill. The babies laying with there mama was to cute.

So that is some of our fun with the buffalo. Keep and eye out for my next animal. Not sure what I will do next, you will just have to keep a look out. Going to post a few videos now, so take a look at them, please.

Thanks for going along with us to the African Safari. The least I can do is share with you our pictures, since so many of you helpped us take our free trip.

The African Safari is in Port Clinton, Ohio.
