Groucho included a verse on hunting mosquitos as a big game hunter in Africa in "Hooray for Captain Spaulding": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67FUMaO-80I at 2:20 or so.
I hunt mosquitos in my room With a flesh eating plant if you really wanna hunt mosquitos it isnt that hard or dangerous for the hunter if hé is prepared
Yeah, there is no documented record of a cheetah ever killing a human. However there are records of single leopards killing over 150 people in their lifetime alone!
Cheetahs aren't really considered a game animal, as they're elusive and not as dangerous as the other two. And buffalo are one of the more dangerous ones because they have an extremely short temper, and if you wound one and have to go after it, it will try to kill you. That's if it doesn't decide it doesn't like you before you have a chance to shoot.
Yeah, get it, having lived in East Africa some years (mosquitoes and all), and the only question that comes to mind is why would you post a quiz this mindless and overall horrible? Think about it, when over a few decades elephant populations have been reduced by about half in Tanzania. DIFFICULT to hunt?
Although they are in decline in tanzania there are a lot of nature reserves in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana zambia and zimbabwe where there are far too many elephants and they are destroying the ecosystem also big 5 are most dangerous animals to hunt for the hunters themselves so mosquitos would not be on the list because they are not that dangerous to the hunters themselves at that moment and when they are prepared for malaria and stuff like that
This is just stupid to say. Since in countries like South Africa Namibia Botswana Zambia and Zimbabwe there are too many elephants destroying the ecosystem there and a lot of the illegal poachers are forced to hunt these animals by people higher up
Despite mosquitos being responible for more deaths I just imagine some kind of big game hunter trying to kill a mosquito for game and just shooting in the air and two other hunters are watching him have some gun seizure. XD
What do y'all not understand about "being difficult to hunt." Mosquitoes do kill more than the rest of these combined but they're not difficult to hunt. I kill them every day out of spite.
I think that Hippo, Crocodile, and Gorilla are definitely harder to hunt than Cape Buffalos. You just have to fire into a herd of Buffalos several times to kill a few of them, while the three animals above are deadlier and more elusive than buffalos. In my opinion, Hippos are far more dangerous than rhinos as well.
Cape buffalo is a huge animal that survive a single gun shot a lot of times and pretend they are dead than when the hunter gets close to them they stand up and kill them
Maybe they are more difficult to kill due to their massive size and thick skin. A single bullet may agitate the elephant may not be sufficient to kill one.
I wish someone would start a rumor in the Far East that powdered poachers' bones have incredible medicinal value, and that daggers with handles made from poachers' skulls are the new status symbol.
pretty sure the rhino in the Big 5 is specifically the more aggressive black rhino and not the white rhino, maybe reflect that in the answer (or at least take that as a typein)
Edit: even harder with a shotgun!
Zebras are pretty damn mean too.

and if you enjoy meat?
Is meat ok if you at least feel guilty?
Use your passion positively.
