Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Which way to go? Just ask the Cape buffalo! Females in a herd 'vote' on which way they should move by sitting down facing the direction they want to go. After about an hour of females sitting, standing, shuffling, and sitting again, the herd eventually comes to a consensus and moves off until they find another good grazing spot or a watering hole.
