16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Cape Buffalo Staredown
Cape buffalo are known to have poor eyesight, but an incredible sense of smell. While on safari in Murchison Falls National Park, we came across this herd of buffalo. We happened to be upwind of the herd, which was pushing our scent straight to them. The buffalo, totally aware of our presence, stared straight in our direction, even thought, presumably, they could not see us very well at all.
