16 May 2022 Douw Grobler : [12:22, 16/05/2022] Roy Bengis: This appears to be a leucistic calf. I saw several during my tenure in Kruger National Park. Their muzzle and hooves are normally pigmented. They become darker with time and as adults are usually honey coloured.

He was used for disease research. One thing I found out is that these leucistic buffalo are exquisitely sensitive to opioids. As an adult, I used to knock him down for blood sampling with 1.5mg M99 + 15- 20 mg azaperone.
