    NFL = Mostly Black.
    NBA = Mostly Black.

    Two main sports in the US are dominated by an African American majority. I rarely see any Asians or Hispanics in the NFL or the NBA.

    Are Blacks genetically superior athletes to all races or does environment and upbringing play a bigger role?

    No, we’re not. Well, I’m a girl so I guess this doesn’t mean me. No ethnicity is gentically better.

    I’m pretty sure that football is mostly white.

    I’m doing a presentation for my homework and I need to know how Buffalo have adapted to their environment. All i’ve got so far is their horns (which can be used as defence against other predators)

    By the way, it’s African Buffalo :)

    First your animal is a horned bovine species in the artiodactyla so having horns is a common character with other bovine species along with the split hooves and being a ruminant. What makes this species different from other related artiodactyla? Do the horns branch? Are horns on both sexes? Are the horns spiraled?

    Syncerus caffer- African Buffalo is related to the water buffalo, anoa, gaur, bison & yak species and more distantly related to cattle & antelope.

    They are stocky in build and are grazing animals unlike many delicate antelope species. They are able to graze tough grasses in a broad range of habitats from riparian shoreline, & tree grown swamps, to forests or grasslands.
    All mammals have 4 types of teeth but not all mammals fully express all possible teeth in the same way. The Bovine upper incisors are not grown out. They have a tough plate opposite their lower teeth to tear off grass against. Their teeth upper/lower Incisors 0/3, Canine 0/1, Premolar 3/3, Molar 3/3 x 2 for both sides of the jaw. 32 teeth total
