Two great captures of these lovely creatures. My choice is V1 for good composition and detail.
Well done Colleen.

Two great images, V1 is particularly good as a well composed portrait of this Buffalo, you can also clearly see the cloud of insects following it.

I was always told in Mozambique that the buffalo was the animal most feared. No wonder, just look at the size of him and that grumpy (very grumpy) expression.

They are renowned for their temper although we don't get many in the Welsh mountains.
I think you've captured the subject just about perfectly to see the beast's mood, Colleen.

He does look rather grumpy, and he certainly looks like a chap not to be messed with. However you have managed to capture two great photographs, I particularly like the long shot Colleen.

Two great captures Colleen. You are right, they are so different. Greece buffalos are darker than the african and also they aren't so clean as you said. Some of them are too dirty Grin

Well, after reading that write-up, don't think I want to be reincarnated as one of these creatures!! Two super captures, Colleen, with V1 being my fave...he certainly does look rather miserable though and could have made the effort to smile for you! Wink

Awesome shots Colleen. What do you mean they are no longer useful to the herd?
Aren't the older ones supposed to protect the herd? Do they no longer reproduce after 10-14 years?

Yes Marian... They no longer reproduce, the younger males take over the herd. They also walk slower and cannot keep up with the herd. Its all rather sad coming across these old boys. Eventually they live out their last years alone.
