It’s correspondingly slightly more difficult to care for, unfortunately without a matching increase in attractiveness. Apart from that, it shares the characteristics of its African friends; for example, it’s tolerant of its habitat, this makes it a good candidate for mixed savannah exhibits. However, it needs slightly more space than the smaller hoofed animals and doesn’t reproduce quite as easily. The low attractiveness of an exhibit devoted solely to those animals means you’ll almost always adopt them for mixed exhibits; you may need to upgrade the exhibit barriers to accommodate other animals in the mixed exhibit. African buffaloes do not play a special role in any of the scenario games. The buffalo starts to show unhappy faces after 5% foliage, but it’s safe to go up to 9% foliage. You can also go up to 10% foliage to increase the suitability to 97, but then the zookeeper recommendations panel for the buffalo will eventually list it as being unhappy with the foliage, though it doesn't appear to affect the animals’ happiness level.
