A Texas man was killed over the weekend while hunting Cape buffalo in South Africa’s Limpopo province. ⁠ ⁠ Asher Watkins, 52, was tracking the animal alongside others in his party when the buffalo charged and gored him. The animal was not wounded, and the safari outfitter Watkins was hunting with said the fatal attack was sudden and unprovoked. Asher’s unfortunate death is a tragic loss, and it highlights the risks involved with pursuing a one-ton animal that many hunters consider the most dangerous member of Africa’s Big 5 — the five species most likely to kill you. Cape buffalo are the largest wild bovine on the continent. Standing around 50 inches tall and weighing up to 1,900 pounds, they can reach speeds of up to 35 mph and are quick to charge when wounded or afraid. Their aggressive, ornery, and unpredictable nature has earned them the nickname Black Death.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #capebuffalo #buffalo #southafrica #limpopoprovince #big5 #animalattack ...
