Water buffalo vs Cape buff - skeletal structure
      14/03/06 01:10 PM

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.
