"On the move across the Okavango Delta, Cape buffalo herds (here with an egret aerial escort) number as many as 2,000 animals. One of the hunter-prized 'big five'—lions, rhinos, leopards, and elephants are the others—Cape buffalo play a key role in the delta ecosystem. Feeding on tall, coarse grasses, they make smaller tender plants accessible to other grazers."
