A herd of buffalo is a group of these large, powerful animals, known for their thick, shaggy coats and strong builds. Buffalo are social creatures that often live in groups for protection against predators. They primarily graze on grasses and can be found in various habitats, including plains and savannas. The most well-known species are the American bison and the African buffalo. Herds can vary in size, sometimes consisting of just a few individuals or numbering in the hundreds. These animals communicate through vocalizations and body language, helping to maintain social bonds within the herd.
