You shouldn't. Water buffalo are native to Asia, and Cape buffalo native to Africa. They're not the same species.

The big five were chosen based on how difficult they are to hunt. You're a lot more likely to get killed attacking a leopard than attacking a gazelle.

Hippos are indeed large and also dangerous AF, but I assume are not classified as "game" because they're all varying degrees of endangered/vulnerable, and are thus not generally huntable.

Most of those are endangered, but the list dates from the 1900s, when that was even less of a concern than today!

The leopard is the hardest to hunt and definitely the least seen of the 'Big 5' so easily earns its place on the list. You could track them for months using normal tracking methods and not even catch a glimpse

Yeah, the leopard is the only one I haven't seen in the wild, on a Kruger Park safari. They hunt at night, and spend a lot of the time hidden in trees. Cape buffalo and elephants, however, can't climb nearly as well.

Incorrect. You never see elephant hiding in trees only because they are so good at it.

Never knew they were "of Journalism". Anyway, the five biggest Mediterranean islands; as far as I know, they are in no actual particular grouping. Isn't this supposed to be actual "groups of five", rather than five particular members of a group?

Well, I think "the five largest ..." are as well defined a group as the sports in the modern pentathlon for the purposes of this quiz. But I agree about the W's — I had no idea what that meant.

They're mostly not, but they're still called that - for example the bank notes in SA feature them.

Apparently the Buffalo were the most dangerous of the 5 to hunt. If you miss, they always charge and shooting one while it's running at you is... challenging. And not just because their heads are basically armour plated.

The character is from a symbol of a tree, it mostly means wood, only in some occasions mean tree. But the element itself does mean nature/plants rather than wood.

Can you accept "rock" or "stone" as a fill in for earth? Obviously they don't mean the planet Earth, so any synonym for the ground that which we stand on should be acceptable, right?
