Blooming into Strength

Young buffalo, known as buffalo calves, are usually born with a reddish-brown coloration. This reddish hue can help them blend into their environment, particularly in grassy and savannah habitats where they are often found. This color provides some camouflage and protection from predators during their early stages of life when they are most vulnerable. As the calves grow and mature, their color gradually darkens to the more typical dark brown or black shade that adult buffaloes are known for.
