No. A buffalo may be a dangerous animal with its size and its horns and its bad temper, but buffalos only eat grass.
Actually, ANY animal with horns or antlers is always a herbivore, not a predator.
You can also tell because predators always have sharp teeth, and their eyes always face the front (like humans' do) instead of being on the side of their head (like rabbits').
Maybe you should be saying who are the buffalo's predators. There aren't any natural predators of the buffalo, but I think man hunted the buffalo to near extinction in the 1800's. So, yeah.
Usually bisons predators include wolves-mainly in packs-, mountain lions, coyotes, grizzly bears, and even humans. Glad I could help ya'.

Does a buffalo eat carnivores?
No they do not. Buffalo are herbivores, not carnivores themselves. The interpretation that a buffalo is "going to eat" a predator comes from the threatening and defensive actions a buffalo performs when its life, its young or its herd is being threatened by that predator. Such actions, such as charging and attempting to gore a predator are not as a means to kill and eat said predator, but discourage through physical assault from wanting to attempt a threat on such large animals ever again. And often, these actions work...for the time being.

The relationship between predator and prey?
The prey is the food, or in human's case the hunted, and the predator is the hunter(human or animal).
What are African buffalo predators?
Their natural predators are Lions, Hyena, Hunting Dog and Crocodile, however these predators will hunt smaller and easier prey like Wildebeest and Zebra first. Lone male Buffalo's are the most vulnerable to these predators, as they hunt in packs. Even when the predators out number the lone Buffalo, they tend to wear the animal down for hours on end until the Buffalo is exhausted and has had enough apart from the Crocodile who of course, waits until the Buffalo is in the water. When the Crocodile gets a chance at a Buffalo, it is usually a baby or an adolescent who is targeted as they are not as powerful as the Adults. When the Buffalo are in a herd, It is the same with the other Predators mentioned as there is less danger to the predator going after a baby or adolescent. Buffalo, when in herds, will come to the defence or aid of another Buffalo getting attacked and will gore the predators with their horns. This is why the predators prefer easier, safer prey like Wildebeest, Zebra, Gazelle. If they get injured by the Buffalo's horns, the predator can not hunt. If the predator can not hunt, it can not contribute to the pack or feed itself. When a predator can not feed itself, it starves. And when it starves, it obviously dies.
