Is the Leopard a Big 5 animal??
      28/06/07 01:36 AM

Spoke with friends at a party this weekend and talk turned to various animals and their potential danger and desirability.
Most every hunter wanted to hunt Africa if affordable, hunt Ele because of their size, Buff and Lion for danger, and rhino because of their unusual prehistoric appearance and size.

One whitetail guy said-No Way!! That could be dangerous and we have great hunting here!! How about Brown Bear?? Same answer.Whitetail=safe stimulating hunting by shooting in a controlled situation.

Two took issue with the Leopard as a free roaming dangerous encounter like the other big 5 due to its nocturnal habits and the usual method of hunting--i.e. shooting it out of a tree and not on the ground.One felt if danger and size made the big 5 then how about the hippo on land??

Interesting!!

Any leopard advocates out there?? Any hippo proponents?
