African forest buffalo (''Syncerus caffer nanus'') is the smallest subspecies of the African buffalo.〔 It is related to the Cape buffalo (''Syncerus caffer caffer''), West African savanna buffalo (''Syncerus caffer brachyceros'') and Central African savanna buffalo (''Syncerus caffer aequinoctialis''). However, it is the only subspecies that occurs mainly in the rainforest of central and western Africa with an annual rainfall around 1,500 mm.〔 == Description == The African forest buffalo is a smaller variety of African buffalo. Cape buffalo weigh anywhere from 400 to 800 kg (880–1760 lbs), whereas African forest buffalo are much lighter, weighing in at 250 to 320 kg (550–705 lbs).〔Korte 115〕 Weight is not the only differentiation, however; this subspecies has reddish brown hide that is darker in the facial area. The shape and size of the horns distinguish forest buffalo from other subspecies. African forest buffalo have much smaller horns than their savanna counterparts, the Cape buffalo.〔〔Melletti M. and Burton J. (Eds). 2014.〕 Cape buffalo horns often grow and fuse together, but forest buffalo horns rarely fuse.
