The Big five is the term you use in Africa to describe the five animals, which is known for being the most difficult animals to abolish. The name does not refer to the size of the animals, but to the fact that hunters need to have courage and ingenuity to shoot down the animals.

 

Elephant: 

The African elephant fits the name and is one of the biggest animals on dryland. The elephant weighs up to 7 ton and is mostly seen in major groups, which make the hunting even more difficult. 

 

Rhinoceros: 

The rhinoceros is related to the threaten white rhinoceros, which live in many different places in Africa. The rhinoceros is an aggressive animal, which is one of the reasons why you find it on the list. 

 

Buffalo:
