Nile vs cape buffalo

Do they still separate the two or have they said they are the same. How far the drop went seemed kind of silly to me and I understand the buffalo stayed together and I'm sure breed each other.

I was told it’s purely drop as the judgement by my PH in Uganda. If it’s flat, it’s a Nile buffalo, if it had drop, it’s a southern/Cape buffalo.

Splitter vs. lumper thing.

Not sure as to genetic differences.

To my novice eyes, the Tanzanian buffalo look more different with wide spread and some even looking like the Asian water buffalo with narrow wide spread horns and small boss.

I wonder if the Tanzanian animals ever hybridised with the Asian domestic water buffalo.

I understand that according to SCI all buffalo in Uganda are now listed as Nile Buffalo. A client of mine just shot this one there.

Perhaps labelling them as to what country/region/Game Reserve they are shot out of would be a better alternative.

This way SCI record book entries will increase!!!!!
