ANIMAL_Elephant atasteofafrica | Big Five Safari Animals Stone Sculpture | Hand Carved In Zimbabwe

This beautiful safari animal stone sculpture was handmade in Zimbabwe, South Africa. This sculpture is carved with the Big Five safari animals of Africa. The term “Big Five “refers to Africa’s most popular wildlife which is the African Lion, African Leopard, Cape Buffalo, African Elephant, and African Rhinoceros. These animals were named the ‘Big Five’ animals by the big hunters of the last two centuries as they were considered the most dangerous animals to hunt. This is because these animals fought back when they were being hunted.
