This morning we saw a Rhinoceros, completing Tanzania’s “Big 5” animals during this trip. The Big 5 are animals prized by poachers for their skin, hoofs, tusks, teeth and horns, they are all dangerous animals. The Big 5 are the Elephant, Buffalo, Rhinoceros, Lion and Leopard. We saw 4 of the 5 today, the Leopard is not found in Ngorongora Crater. The Leopard and Rhinoceros are the most difficult to see, the Leopard is the only one of the 5 that we’ve only seen one of.
We saw about a dozen animals today in Ngorongoro Crater, I made notes of Grant Gazelle, Wildebeest, Warthog, Rhino, Buffalo, Black Bucket Jackal, Lions, Élan Antelope, Elephant, Zebra and Golden Jackal. We also saw a variety of birds.
Ngorongora Crater is a volcanic crater with a 99 acre salt lake, many of the animals like the salt. Vegetation in the crater is primarily grass.
