I've posted this here due to the tie into Cae Buffalo and Dangerous Game plus also the fact there are a lot of knowledgable hunters that visit this forum.
Cape buffalo are said to have interlocking rib bones. This is illustrated by a diagram on another thread which I have borrowed:
I've never seen a boned out cape buffalo in the flesh. Something I might try to see next time I get a chance.
*** Does anyone have any photos of the skeletal structure of a cape buffalo that they could post? ***
The tie in to water buffalo. What is the rib structure of a water buffalo? Do they interlock as well, or are separated as on many mammals?
*** Any photos of the skeletal structure of a water buffalo that can be posted? ***
A possible source of photos of these beasts especially the cape buffalo might be skeletal remains of natural kills or deaths.
