The effects of ecology on social organization,s was known, phylogeny could yield insight in the behaviour and even social organization of a given species on the basis of knowledge of a related species (Tinbergen 1962). This approach was merged with the increasing knowledge of the behaviour and social organization of free-living animals gained t

The data on the feeding behaviour of buffalo were provided in Chapter 2. In this chapter I first explore first the feeding behaviour of the buffalo’s competitors and I then present evidence for food competition.

I will come to the problem of time limitation in Manyara buffalo later but will first discuss the buffalo’s energy and nutrient requirements.

Buffalo are herbivores, and, thus, to them nitrogen appears to be the most important food quality parameter too (Sinclair 1977). Ruminants are a special category of herbivores to which buffalo also belong. In ruminants digestibility of the food determines the thr
