Can you name Africa's Big 5? Why are they called the Big 5?
From Wikipedia: “The phrase Big Five game was coined by big-game hunters (people who kill animals for sport) and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. The term is still used in most tourist and wildlife guides that discuss African wildlife safaris. The collection consists of the lion, the African elephant, the Cape Buffalo, the leopard, and the rhinoceros, either the black rhinoceros or the white rhinoceros. The members of the big five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them on foot and not their size.”
Below are some photos Michael took of the Big 5 on various recent safaris:
