Wild Encounters: More Animals than Friends

In my blog, you'll find more photos with animals than with friends. And honestly, I see them more often too, unfortunately or fortunately. There should've been a buffalo in this picture, but it's currently in a witness protection program. Can you believe it? In Kenya, there's a team tracking animals' locations daily to protect them from hunters and poachers who export their horns and pelts to China. The rhino horn trade is particularly absurd, as Chinese believe it has healing properties. We did manage to complete the Big Five! Lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino, and elephant. Once, hunters believed these were the hardest animals to kill, which is why they were the most prized. Nowadays, the only hunting allowed in Kenya is photo hunting. And spotting this famous five is considered the luckiest safari experience. So, what animal in its natural habitat would you like to see most?
