Kenya Coin
Going on holiday to Kenya, Make sure you check out these 5 amazing animals
Whats impressive about going on safari to Kenya is that in the Masai Mara the “Big Five” all exist in the same park. The name Big Five was originally coined by hunters because these animals were supposed to be the hardest game to hunt and find.
The proud pride owner the Lion. This powerful animal is only the second of the big four cats, before the tiger. Lions in general are keystone predators which means they hunt and take down their own food, rather than scavenge, although if the opportunity arises they will take it. In some strange and interesting cases, the Lion has been known to attack people, and sometimes it even has stalked Humans as food.
The ever majestic African Elephant. These massive beasts weigh an impressive average of about 5 and half tonnes and can reach over 3 metres tall. When you see an elephant its quite easy to accept its large, but when you think even it’s 4 teeth are each twelve inches long and weigh 5 kilograms, it’s a lot more to take in. Two and a half metres long is the average length of the elephants tusks.
Then there is the Cape buffalo. Prey to the Lion you would think that this buffalo would be quite scared and timid, but it’s quite the opposite some buffalo have been known to kill Lions that attack them. The Cape buffalo is regarded as one of the most dangerous animals in Mara; it is a very short temper and is reported to have killed about 200 people every year.
The Black Rhinoceros. The Black Rhino has not been all that well named, unfortunately it was due to the name of the White Rhino that the so called “Black Rhino” received it’s own. The Black and White Rhino are so similar in colour it’s almost impossible to tell them apart by looking at their skin. White in the White Rhino’s name was actually a mistranslation of “Weit” in Dutch. This word actually means “wide” because the White Rhino had a long square like lip, whereas the Black Rhino has a pointed lip.
Finally the Leopard. The smallest of the Big Cats is what the Leopard is generally known for, and because of the Cheetah it is not really known for it’s speed. The Leopard is not really noticed for the fact that it can reach a massive 36 mph on the ground, and that it can jump up to 3 metres vertically into the air. Also the Leopard is the best Big Cat swimmer and by far the best tree climber.
So if you would like to go and see the Big Five then why not try Kenya holidays, Tanzania holidays or Zambia holidays. You will find them around these key locations.
