The Big Five name was conceived by big-game hunters describing the most difficult and dangerous animals to catch. However, since then The Big Five has been adopted by tourists and Safari guides to designate the most impressive South African animals. Environmentalists also use this term in their efforts to conserve charismatic megafauna. Of the five, currently, the elephant and the black rhinoceros are considered endangered.
