HEAD OF THE HERD
LOCATION: KRUGER NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH AFRICA
Cape Buffalo
Standing apart from the others,
Not a moment at rest, his head up, eyes fixed.
The scent of arrogance, pride and power lingered around him constantly.
Traits he has earnt through the daily battle and countless victories against the harshest of African weathers, opponents, predators and life lessons.
Looking down, although never being looked down upon.
From a position of momentous might,
It was undeniable to all that he was the head of the herd.
