Water Buffalo have specialized teeth for grinding vegetation down, as well as a 4 chambered stomach ( like cows!) . This ensures proper digestion of the plant material ( grass, in this case). A buffalo has a thick hide, hooves, and horns for personal defense-- which can help fend off lions by kicking and goring predators that try to attack them. They also travel in large groups-- safety in numbers-- sometimes mingling with zebra and wildebeest herds. Additionally, they protect their young in similar ways to elephants, bringing them to the center of the herd and encircling them!
