http://www.tradekey.com/product_view/id/642047.htm You can get a replica for less than $1000! I thought the world record was a cow from JA Hunter at 62 inches. But this one is 63.5". Is it also a cow? "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

This one? As you can see I held it in my hands. Was also on hand when it was scored. Not quite as big as first described.  | |||

By the way, it was a pick-up. Probably killed by a lion. The person that ended up with it was a taxidermist in Arusha and he turned it into a money-maker with several locals making replicas of it. | |||

Was it a cow like the previous record that JA Hunter got? "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Nakihunter, to answer your question in such a manner that you learn something: cows do not have bosses, so this is a bull.

In all fairness it does not have much of a boss nor a typical boss as is commonly seen on Cape buffalo bulls and for those who are not familiar with the genetics of the Manyara buffalo can mistakenly assume it is a cow. | |||

Great photos, Matt. Thanks for posting them. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Exactly why I asked the question. Most boss seem to have a tear drop or coma shape while this one is hardly a boss. The other reason for the question was that JA Hunter's record was also a cow. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Nakihunter: You have not read my comment carefully: "for those who are not familiar with the genetics of the Manyara buffalo can mistakenly assume it is a cow." The buffalo skull pictured is indeed that of a bull - that it looks like a cow buffalo is granted but that is due to a genetic factor common to some of the Manyara Buffalo - could be regarded as a form of hybrid maybe? I have noted that they either have no balls or very shriveled ones (excess of female hormones maybe). J.A. Hunter's buffalo was indeed a cow taken in Uganda? | |||

He may have had very small testes but he is still giving that "you owe me money" look in the Zebra pic! | |||

No offense meant or taken guys. Just wanted to know if it was a cow. I didn't know about the genetic issue with those buffalo! You learn some thing new each day! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
