Last week in Kruger National Park I happened to come across this buffalo in a herd of about 200.  | ||

I've seen a few pictures of similar buffalo, no bosses, I'll pass. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

We need a real expert's opinion on this one - where in hell is Shootaway when we need him? | |||

He's like a stag or cactus buck here in the states, that I've seen numerous times. They grow big antlers, but with no balls they have no testosterone, thus no urge to rub their velvet, or to participate in the rut, etc. This buffalo appears to be a bull with no balls, screwed up horns, along with some other problems going on. Frankly, I don't know what they heck that thing is - but I wouldn't shoot "it" regardless!  | |||

I think it's called a tuskless buffalo. A day spent in the bush is a day added to your life Hunt Australia - Website Hunt Australia - Facebook Hunt Australia - TV | |||

Must be a pseudo-hermaphrodite or possibly a free-martin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Or a bull which had its nuts removed when a calf. Have seen this once - by kind favor of Mr. Hyena. A buffalo's boss is a secondary sexual characteristic - thanks to testosterone. Caustrated buffalo never develop a boss and this could be such a fellow. | |||

Wouldn't a freemartin have a vulva, etc? Or perhaps a cryptorchid? A day spent in the bush is a day added to your life Hunt Australia - Website Hunt Australia - Facebook Hunt Australia - TV | |||

It does not look like it has a sheath either. Be nice to see where it peed from. The vulva of a free-Martin can be very rudimentary and could hide in those wrinkles around the anus seen in that pic. Cryptorchids usually produce more testosterone than animals with descended testicles...therefore should have secondary sex characteristics. It also has prominent teats. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.
