In the Ranger's Diary we tend to concentrate on the -Big Five- or rather the -Big Seven- since these are the most popular animals. The -Big Seven- includes lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo, cheetah and wild dog. The term -Big Five- (the first five animals listed) was historically used to denote the five most dangerous animals to hunt in Africa. Fortunately the term is now used to describe the most popular animals.
