With heaviest plus hardest horns, African / Cape buffaloes are the most dreaded dwellers of Africa’s Savannah due to their great capability to smash and even murder their target cruelly more than a leopard or lion which are the most dreaded predators.
Buffalos have ugly-looking brief horns that aren’t attractive as compared to those which are found on most of the species of impala which are found staying in large numbers in most of the Savannah areas on the African continent.
Impalas not only influence the broad grassland through their large population only as well with their gorgeous longhorns that are curved and designed in various shapes and also varying in length as well as the width.
There are approximately 91 impala species in the whole world and these are divided into 30 different subspecies with over 15 of these very species found in a number of game protected areas, national parks as well as game reserves of Tanzania.
