A Cape buffalo can be "up and at 'em" for quite a while even with big holes through the center of its ciculatory system. I've seen them on their feet and ambulating at least as long after a good shot as that heart was pumping--and sometimes shooting them again just made them more ambulatory until they finally realized they should be dead.
