The Forest Buffalo, also known as the African Forest Buffalo, is smaller than its savannah counterpart. With a reddish-brown coat, it's adapted to the dense forests of Central and West Africa, making it distinct in both habitat and appearance.
Forest Buffalos are predominantly found in the rainforests of Central and West Africa, including areas in Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic.
Unlike the African Cape Buffalo which often forms large herds, the Forest Buffalo tends to move in smaller groups, often fewer than a dozen, adept at navigating the dense underbrush of their rainforest environment.
A bolt-action rifle with a caliber designed for thick-skinned game is advised. Due to the dense forest environment, a scope with good low-light visibility is beneficial.
