The buffalo is considered by most people in the know to be the more dangerous of the animals as it actually charges instead of running away which most animals do from humans,lions tend to be wary of humans but once the human is in their territory it is suddenly looked upon as prey,whereas the buffalo will defend itself by charging straight away.

I think more people in Africa are killed by buffalo's and hippo's than any other animal.

 

A hippo out of water can charge at 30 m.p.h.

Animals are a major group of organisms, classified as the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. In general they are multi­cellular, responsive to their environment, and feed by consuming other organisms or parts of them. Their body plan becomes fixed as they develop, usually early on in their development as embryos, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on.

From Wikipedia.....

 

 

The word "animal" comes from the Latin word animal, of which animalia is the plural, and is derived from anima, meaning vital breath or soul. In everyday colloquial usage, the word usually refers to non-human animals.

 

The biological definition of the word refers to all members of the Kingdom Animalia. Therefore, when the word "animal" is used in a biological context, humans are included.

 

 

So I think the answer is yes!!!
