Horison, a “superbuffalo,” has had a quarter of its shares purchased for R44 million, bringing its total worth to R176 million.

That makes the animal’s value more than twice as much as the highest-paid CEO in South Africa for the entire year.

Size does matter when it comes to buffalo; the broader the horn span, the more expensive; and Horison, who possesses the largest horn span in the world at 1.39 metres, got the highest sum ever for any animal sold in South Africa.

Breeders claim that African buffalo once had horns that were over 1.5 metres wide, but killing eliminated the largest animals from the gene pool.

Through breeding programmes, breeders are attempting to reestablish superior traits, which explains why buffalo with a large horn span can command millions of dollars.

The Cape Buffalo bull with a 1.35-meter horn span previously held the record for the highest auction price; it was purchased by South African billionaire Johann Rupert for R40 million in 2021.
