First on my Big Five list is the elephant.

Elephants are not afraid of people…

…are only to ready to tell tourists to clear off…

…However, they are not frightend

to press their point of view.

On the other hand Leopards spend a lot

of their time sleeping.

 

The African or Cape Buffalo

The Black Rhino is another member of the Five.

However, the White Rhino is not a member of the Big Five.

The White rhinoceros is taken from the Afrikaans word

describing its mouth: “wyd”, meaning “wide”.

Early English settlers misinterpreted the “wyd” for “white”.

It is also sometimes called the square-lipped rhinoceros.

I had not forgotten the Lion…

 

…although my best memories are of the lioness

and her cubs.

We spent 20 minutes photograping the cubs

after they came to within 20 feet of us

to do some tourist watching.
