Buffalo resided in a 900 ha (3.5 square mile) double-fenced enclosure designed to exclude large predators. The population was originally isolated in 2001 as part of a disease-free breeding program within the park. The insets show the location of Kruger National Park within South Africa (top left) and an African buffalo from the park (photo by Robert Spaan). Buffalo were either darted from a helicopter or corralled in the northeast corner of the enclosure prior to sedation and sampling. The background map was created using ArcGIS® software by Esri.
