13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Bull Power

The image shows a wild bull chasing another one out of his territorial waters. These seemingly peaceful looking buffaloes can be quite aggressive when rubbed on the wrong side. The Yala National Park is humid and hot and the buffaloes like to immerse themselves in water to keep themselves cool and away from the flies.
