A rare White buffalo has been spotted in Tarangire National Park

A rare white buffalo has been spotted in Tarangire National Park attracting hundreds who were eager to catch a glimpse of the animal for the first time in life.The buffalo was spotted on Monday  this week in the park, in an area where animals gather to drink water and causing many tourists who were in the reserve to start following him but also started attracting researchers to the area.The buffalo was bigger than the rest of the herd and was seen mixing freely with the rest of the herd, most of the time standing in the middle.

From the look of things the white buffaloe has been part of the herd for a very long time given the kind of association it had with the others with some observers saying it could have been born in the peripheries of the park.White buffalos are rare, according to conservationists, just one out of every 10 million buffalo born are white and they are also considered sacred amongst certain communities.
