2 WILDIFE BIG FIVE Lion Panthera leo The back of the lion's ears and the tuft of the tail are black, giving cubs a clear 'follow me' focal point, to help them follow their mother and keep in touch with the rest of the pride when moving through tall grass. Rhinoceres Black: Diceros bicornis. White: Ceratotherium simum The black and white rhino are differentiated by the shape of the mouth. Black rhino: Pointy and triangular. White rhino: Square, straight lips. The natural skin coloration of the two species is similar (greyish brown). Elephant Loxodonta africana Elephants spend about 16 hours a day feeding, and will consume on average 4 to 6% of their body weight daily, grinding the food between their rasp-like molars (the molars slide forward and backward over each other and not from side to side like most other herbivores). / Cape Buffalo Syncerus caffer The buffalo is a ruminant, and is considered a bulk grazer, making use of its tongue and wide incisor teeth to eat grass quicker than most other herbivores. Leopard Panthera pardus Pattern-wise, no two leopards are alike, as the multitude of combinations of spots and rosettes, as well as their amount, size and position (on the body) are so varied and unique. Each leopard may be identified by its beautiful spot pattern. 1
