We saw all but the Leopard in the Big Six. Leopard's are very hard to find, stay in trees during the day and are nocturnal. The funniest animal by far is the warthog. This animal is the most forgetful animal here. He could see danger, run, see grass, eat, forget danger, be eaten! And apparently the lions see the warthog as a delicacy. Must be easy pickin's, too!
