This is a web page on the Big Five and is part of the ISK digital safari page. The Big Five are animals which have been proposed to be five animals that each have different and spectacular features compared to other animals. An example of these features is the rhino. The African rhino, which people refer to as the black rhino is actually not black but was named as the black rhino because of it's dark color that resembles the soil. The elephant is also part of the Big Five as it is physically larger than any other animal.
African elephants weigh up to seven tons which is heavier than most vehicles.
Elephants have tusks which have great value as ivory. People pay a lot of money for ivory. Male elephants are usually larger than female elephants. Elephants are considered intelligent mammals because of their highly established social framework. Another example of an animal from the Big Five is the lion which is said to be the most fierce.
