Paper Parrot(@paperparrot_):Millionaire Asher Watkins paid almost $10,000 to hunt a Cape buffalo in South Africa. The Texas ranch trader flew to Limpopo in August 2025 for the trip, run by Coenraad Vermaak Safaris. On Sunday, August 3, on the second day, he was tracking a 1.3-tonne bull with a professional hunter and a tracker. The buffalo turned first. It charged at 35 mph and gored him. He was killed almost instantly. The safari company called it a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo. Cape buffalo are nicknamed Black Death. They kill more big-game hunters than lions, elephants, rhinos or crocodiles. He went looking for a trophy. He became the story instead.
