What food does an African buffalo eat?

African buffalo are herbivores and their diet consists mainly of grasses. They also eat:

* Forbs: These are non-grassy plants like wildflowers, herbs, and shrubs.

* Twigs: They might nibble on twigs for additional nutrients.

* Fruits: When available, they will eat fruits like berries and figs.

Their diet varies depending on the season and availability of food. During the dry season, they often rely on dried grasses and forbs, while during the wet season they have a more varied diet with fresh grasses and fruits.

Important note: They are grazers, meaning they graze on short grasses, unlike other African herbivores like zebras and wildebeest who are grazers and prefer long grasses.
