Syncerus caffer caffer – Southern Savannah Buffalo
نویسنده
چکیده
Taxonomic notes: The African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) exhibits substantial morphological variability (Skinner & Chimimba 2005), resulting in controversies regarding the recognition of the various subspecies (Smitz et al. 2013). Recent evidence supports the separation of two distinct groups, corresponding to a West and Central African group and an East and Southern African group (Smitz et al. 2013). The East and Southern African group is comprised of a single subspecies (Syncerus caffer caffer), which is found in the assessment region. The West and Central African group is assigned to two or three subspecies (S. c. nanus, S. c. brachyceros and S. c. aequinoctialis), although the latter two of these subspecies are not recognised by all authorities (Le Roex et al. 2012; Smitz et al. 2013).
