The African Big Five peek out shyly,
Amidst this lush, blooming grassland,
They hide among the flowers, spying,
As if playing a game of hide-and-seek.
In this secret garden, akin to paradise,
They are no longer the majestic kings of the savanna,
But playful, happy cubs.

The "Big Five" refers to the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros.
They earned this title not due to their size, but because they were the most dangerous and challenging quarry for hunters. Without exceptional courage and skill, hunters risked being taken down themselves, thus earning them the esteemed title of "Big Five" from European colonial hunters.

Each of the Big Five carries a meaning.
Sometimes we need to be decisive like a lion,
Sometimes steady like an elephant,
Sometimes focused like a leopard,
Sometimes persistent like a buffalo,
And sometimes, like a rhinoceros, we must defend our boundaries.
