Spanish term or phrase: los búfalos son especialistas de la vigilancia de grupo
Se irá en busca de los guepardos y de los antílopes que pasean en el espacio infinito de la sabana a las horas más frescas. Puestos sobre cada pequeño otero de tierra, los búfalos, con su bonita peladura roja, son especialistas de la vigilancia de grupo, un «vigilante» acecha los movimientos inusuales de los depredadores enemigos.

Any suggestions?

Explanation:
...or 'watching out for predators'
