Recreation of the extinct African Giant Buffalo (Syncerus antiquus), a close relative of the modern African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), and the largest bovid described from the African continent, with massive horns reaching sizes of as much as 3 meters from tip to tip. It was widespread throughout eastern, southern, and northern Africa, although limited to wide-open areas with few trees. Dated to the Pliocene, 2.5 million years ago, rock art from North Africa suggests that this species may have survived into the Holocene. Its extinction has been attributed to climatic change and habitat loss, and to some extent, human predation.

"Recreation of the extinct African Giant Buffalo" Are there plans to try to remake one, say thru DNA with African buffalo?

That's only for human based climatic change.

Yes - with horns that long, they would be able to hook a lion on their butt.

With that spread on the horns, it's no wonder they were only found in the open areas.
