Description
This is a Cape Buffalo mother and her calf that was in the herd of my last upload. Please zoom for detail. The redbilled oxpeckers on mom's back is believed to be eating the ticks on the animals but they are actually just drinking the blood from the tick bites - quite disgusting actually!
Thank you for visiting and for your very welcome comments and favs on my last upload "In the middle of the herd."

Super detail in zoom Carin. Lovely shot.
A beautiful photo, and so close.
I always thought that they eat the Ticks. Wonderful information that you are sharing Carin.Amazing capture. God bless.
Superb photo!!
Outstanding detail in this great shot of the Cape Buffalo, Carin, replete with vampirelike Redbilled Oxpeckers enjoying a bloody repast. From her expression, the mother appears unfazed by it all.
in a former life those Redbilled Oxpeckers were lawyers? Great capture

Fantastic shot! She doesn't seem too bothered, and the little one is just precious with those little horns!
