African Elephant. Lion. Giraffe. Rhinoceros. Cheetah. Hippopotamus. African Buffalo. Zebra.
Two major reasons are: Habitat Loss Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade. The Expansion of agriculture, urban development, and deforestation have reduced the natural habitats of many species. Hunting for ivory (elephants), rhino horn, and bushmeat, as well as illegal trade in live animals and animal parts, have dramatically reduced populations of certain species.
The “Big Five” refers to five of Africa’s greatest wild animals, originally named by big-game hunters for being the hardest to hunt on foot. Today, the term is used more commonly by safari tour operators and wildlife enthusiasts to highlight the must-see animals during a safari. The Big Five are: Elephant, Leopard, Rhino, Lion, Buffalo.
