More on the Big 5
This
website was created to inform people of all ages about the vast world of the
Big 5 game animals. Like we have already stated, the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo,
Black Rhinoceros, Leopard, and the Lion make up the Big 5. You may be thinking,
“Why not a hippo, giraffe, cheetah, or gorilla?” Their namesake comes from the
difficulty of hunting them, but this is for their own individual reasons. With
the Lion and Leopard being stealthy and swift, they are hard targets. On the
other hand, the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, and Black Rhinoceros are
massive gargantuans that are usually avoided for safety reasons. The Cape
Buffalo is the most dangerous of them all. Although they have the honor of
being Africa’s toughest animals, they sometimes get caught. As a result,
poachers and habitat destruction are causing some of the world’s most
fascinating animals to have rapidly decreasing populations as we speak. To with
cope these astonishing facts and fatalities, the African government has
protection and hunting laws on all of these creatures.
