The following day, he set his sights on a massive Cape Buffalo that reportedly weighed nearly 2,800 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the animal he was pursuing didn\u2019t run. Instead, it turned around and charged at full speed, crashing into Watkins and ending his life in an instant. What was meant to be a trophy hunt quickly turned into a deadly encounter.<\/p>\n<p>National Geographic notes that Cape Buffalo can reach speeds up to 37 miles per hour. Combine that with their bulk, and it\u2019s no wonder they\u2019re among the most dangerous animals in South Africa. These animals are believed to be responsible for about 200 human deaths per year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_image_wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.tbdcdn.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/07\/108633-thatviralfeed.com-large-606836.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_image_credits\"><span class=\"article_image_credits_caption\">The Cape Buffalo is responsible for around 200 deaths a year<\/span><span class=\"article_image_credits_credits\">Getty Stock Photo<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<section class=\"ad_outer_main\">\n<div class=\"ad_outer_sw\">\n<div class=\"ad_outer_sub\">\n<div class=\"ad_outer\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6899463337741277\" data-ad-slot=\"5005075082\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_4_host\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_4\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?client=ca-pub-6899463337741277&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;slotname=5005075082&amp;adk=3199945908&amp;adf=478988652&amp;pi=t.ma~as.5005075082&amp;w=830&amp;abgtt=6&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1754703451&amp;rafmt=1&amp;format=830x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thatviralfeed.com%2Fbuffalo-kills-millionaire-hunter-10000-safari%2F108633%3Futm_source%3Dsocial%26utm_medium%3Dhumormeetscomics%26utm_campaign%3Dhumormeetscomics%26utm_content%3Dsocial_imagepost%26fbclid%3DIwY2xjawMDhapleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBTTWJKQU9ob3d2WUd4QkwzAR6mRGQGFsoJyEO_W2ffuqkIuCyo-iHSBRwIoRE0HpQ7MlFvkRY_m4qWrIcmUw_aem_EiAZW5pp5lM_wuB_4AJ3EA&amp;fwr=0&amp;fwrattr=true&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;wgl=1&amp;uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTkuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTM4LjAuNzIwNC4xODQiLG51bGwsMCxudWxsLCI2NCIsW1siTm90KUE7QnJhbmQiLCI4LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEzOC4wLjcyMDQuMTg0Il0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTM4LjAuNzIwNC4xODQiXV0sMF0.&amp;dt=1754703451787&amp;bpp=1&amp;bdt=652&amp;idt=156&amp;shv=r20250805&amp;mjsv=m202508050101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3D8609ad01204e10db%3AT%3D1750557582%3ART%3D1754527948%3AS%3DALNI_MZexvhZONPStOhbnT1THiYer74jOw&amp;gpic=UID%3D0000115609e555fb%3AT%3D1750557582%3ART%3D1754527948%3AS%3DALNI_MbIfZvOjbM7njqUchCRUf0fKb_eHA&amp;eo_id_str=ID%3D9da9c4cb73dd527e%3AT%3D1750210276%3ART%3D1754527948%3AS%3DAA-AfjbPix_EeihzyUUMpoL807qV&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C830x280%2C830x280%2C830x280&amp;nras=1&amp;correlator=3294534830693&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;u_tz=120&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_h=1080&amp;u_w=1920&amp;u_ah=1032&amp;u_aw=1920&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=0.9&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=458&amp;ady=3797&amp;biw=2116&amp;bih=1050&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=0&amp;eid=95362656%2C95368228%2C95368936%2C95359265&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=1818361633966145&amp;tmod=1287992644&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fl.facebook.com%2F&amp;fc=1920&amp;brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1920%2C0%2C1920%2C1032%2C2133%2C1050&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7CeEbr%7C&amp;abl=CS&amp;pfx=0&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;bz=0.9&amp;td=1&amp;tdf=2&amp;psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&amp;nt=1&amp;ifi=5&amp;uci=a!5&amp;btvi=2&amp;fsb=1&amp;dtd=159\" name=\"aswift_4\" width=\"830\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-google-container-id=\"a!5\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-google-query-id=\"CNSOw9_L_I4DFZoXVQgdsAQCrg\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"atd_pages\">\n<article class=\"atd\">Watkins&#8217; former wife, Courtney, and their daughter have been notified about the incident.
