What are the big 5 cats of south Africa?

Answer 1

African cats in order of size:

1) Lion

2) Leopard

3) Cheetah

4) Caracal

5) Serval (taller than the wild cat but less stocky)

6) African Wild Cat or Black Footed cat (i think that they are about the same size)

Tigers are native to Asia and Russia - you do NOT get wild tigers in Africa!

Answer 2

It's normally the "Big Five", not six

Elephant

Leopard

Lion

Cape Buffalo

Rhinoceros

Some times people talk about the Big 7 - that is the above + the whale & Great White Shark - you can see the "Big 7" in South Africa

Answer 3

The primary five animals found in South Africa are the lion, elephant, rhino, cape buffalo and leopard.
