In today's world, 1/3 of the grasslands are all distributed in Africa, which can be said to be the largest savannah area in the world. There are the most wild animals living here, birds and animals can be described as innumerable, and there are species of animals that are the top of the biological chain, so there is the name of the African Five. In fact, this name originally came from the mouth of European and American hunters, these 5 african wild animals are not only attractive to hunters, but also the most difficult to catch. These 5 species of predators are the African lion, the African buffalo and the African elephant, the rhinoceros and the leopard. Difficulty in catching is a common feature, just like lions and leopards, they are superior in both aggression and speed, and as long as they see a hunter, they will often get rid of it quickly. There are many subspecies of leopards, but in fact, the golden leopard in The Huaxia region is not a subspecies.
Among these 5 species of beasts, the most seriously underestimated is the African buffalo, and you must not be blinded by the buffalo's thick appearance. This guy has a particularly grumpy personality and is a typical militant, especially after being frightened and hurt, the situation is even more unmanageable. It is understood that the African buffalo is a typical killer, and more people die at his feet each year than under the mouth of carnivores. Moreover, the lion did not dare to easily provoke this terrible guy, often a few lions against a single bison, and often killed.
In Africa, the leopard is also a large carnivore, with a body length of between 100-150 cm and a weight of between 50 and 100 kg, and has a pattern on its body like a tiger, but it is not so large. The body is full of black ring spots, which are very similar to the ancient copper coins, so it is also known as the golden leopard. Leopards are the most powerful cats if they are of comparable size, often dragging prey that weighs two or three times larger than themselves up trees, which other big cats can't do.
The African lion is the largest land carnivore in Africa, the largest average weight among the existing cats, and this feline is the only hermaphrodite in the world. Whether it is sight, hearing or smell, it is very developed, and the canine teeth and split teeth are very excellent, and the extreme individual has a weight of 420 kilograms, so it is called the "king of the steppe". Moreover, he is also the only surviving feline, and generally when hunting zebras or wildebeests, antelopes and other prey, it is hunted by female lions; until they want to eat bison, the male lions will not shoot.
Elephants are the largest animals on land, African elephants weigh between 5-8 tons, you know, a medium-sized sedan weighs only about 1.5 tons, it can be said that an off-road vehicle is very easy to be overturned by him. Elephants can be seen in southern Africa, and they can survive in any habitat, even in the desert, and it can be said that there is a very strong level of survival. However, it is mainly in woodlands, forests and savannahs. Elephants are also social animals, even lions have to retreat when they see this kind of guy, and this beast is very grumpy, although it does not eat people, but likes to hurt people like bison. Humans also die under the legs of elephants each year than lions eat more humans.
Rhinos live in all corners of Africa, mainly in southern Africa, while in Africa live two types of rhinos, black rhinos and white rhinos. Unlike the Asian rhinoceros, the African rhino has an extra small horn, which means that they are more powerful, while the white rhino is also a small number of social animals, very large, and is the second largest terrestrial beast on land after the African and Asian elephants. Moreover, their power cannot be underestimated, and generally several lions cannot kill a rhinoceros. However, the white rhino is now also an endangered species, and it is a pity that the white rhinoceros in northern Africa has all become extinct.
On the whole, the strongest of the five African giants is the African elephant, whether it is a single head or a group fight, it is an invincible existence. Leopards, on the other hand, are small and solitary, so they are the weakest.
