The Kenya Buffalo
Kenya is a very beautiful country with lots of wild animals. These make a major tourist attraction. The most notable are the big five. These are the lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and the buffalo. Most of these animals can be found in the Kenyan jungle. The buffalo which is a grazer can be found in large herds in the savanna green lands. It is very large and weighs approximately 900kgs. It has a bad temper and can be very dangerous if provoked. It is known to kill human beings and other animals using its sharp horns.
The buffaloes normally live in dense vegetated areas near swamps and big rivers. Because of its size and fierceness, it has few predators. The lions however do prey on them but they must work as a team. No single lion can fell a buffalo, otherwise it will end up being badly injured or even killed. When cornered by predators, the herd usually sticks together with the calves at the middle to protect them.
If a member of the herd is attacked, the others will try and rescue it. Buffaloes mate during the rainy season. A bull will guard closely a cow it's interested in mating so as it does not get another bull. The gestation period takes eleven and a half months. Once calves are born, they are hidden in the bushes for a few weeks as they are nursed by the mothers before being allowed to join the herd. They require a lot of water daily therefore they reside near water ways. They are also very good grazers.

Tales of Monsters - Buffalo Horn Hill Chiang Rai
Shrouded in ancient mysteries and legends, Buffalo Horn Hill or Wat Khao Quai, is a landmark in Chiang Rai and a must on every visitors itinerary. A wooded hill prettily reflected in the lake below it is surmounted by a temple which is famous for its mythical beast, a creature sculpted in black granite with bear paws, resembling a bear overall but with five eyes and four ears. This very odd animal has given rise to several legends that are hundreds of years old, having its roots when the whole area was covered in jungle and was sparsely populated.
The most well known being the legend of a five eyed, 4 eared hot-coal-eating beast whose excrement was gold, which the villagers had tried to capture but had failed. A poor crippled villager returning to the village a wealthy man had claimed he had followed the beast to its lair and collected the gold dung that had made him wealthy. He apparently married the governor's daughter and lived happily ever after and not forgetting his unwitting benefactor, built a temple to honour the beast.
Although the temple is essentially a traditional Buddhist temple, throughout the years other statues of mythical creatures were added on. In spite of this and other tales about the "beast", the best aspect of the hill is the gorgeous 180 degree views of the city of Chiang Rai and its environs spread out below. It is really spectacular at sunset when the whole area appears tinted by the colours of the setting sun.
A viewing platform has been constructed outside the temple premises for visitors to take in the view. The temple itself is one of the many quaint ancient structures that dot the area. Buffalo Horn Hill can be accessed from the old Chiang Mai road. As for the beast, local residents still claim they hear and see strange animals and sounds coming from the vicinity of Buffalo Horn Hill.
With its lush tropical and advantageous location close to the Burma / Laos border and its access to the elephant conservation centre, Anantara Golden Triangle Thailand offers guests never to be forgotten sights and sounds; be it the diurnal or nocturnal sounds of tropical fauna or the sight of elephants in the camp next door.
