Often animals have companions of different species as this frolicking Appaloosa and Queensland Blue Heeler can attest. Since horses are herding animals, their owners will provide a companion animal....donkey, goat, llama...rather than another horse. They become their new "herd" and have a calming influence on their horse pals.

"Black Death" - Cape Buffalo
"Black Death"
Cape Buffalo are considered to be the most dangerous of the Big 5 game animals in Africa. In his novel, “Black Death”, Robert Ruark said the look of a Cape Buffalo says, “You owe me money!”. The hide on a bull’s neck is up to 2 inches thick, which makes them almost impervious to any lion attack. They are known to kill lion cubs as a preventative measure. They are terrifically unforgiving and will seek out and ambush anyone who hurts them. They’re 4 times stronger than an ox and more agile. Hunters are very wary of them as they have killed or injured more hunters than any other animal.
