Mike: Yes.
Ana: And giraffes.
Mike: No. The giraffe is definitely a big animal but it's not one of the big five. The other three are rhinoceros, the – is it the water buffalo, I think. And the final one is – what is the final one?
Ana: Is it the cheetah?
Mike: Yes, the cheetah. Yes. The cheetah can run very, very fast.
Ana: Okay, and have you seen all of these animals?
Mike: Let me think. It's been a while since I visited a wildlife reserve but I've seen elephants before. And let's see; I've seen a lion. I don't think I've ever seen a cheetah. I've seen a rhinoceros from far away.
Ana: I've heard they're quite dangerous.
Mike: I don't think that there are not many of them in the wild. I don't know if there are any in the wild. They're all in wildlife enclosures so that actually I don't think many people are injured or killed by rhinoceroses. But actually, do you know what the most dangerous animal is in Africa?
Ana: Is it the lion?
Mike: No, it's not. It's the hippopotamus.
Ana: Really?
Mike: I think they killed more people every year in the world than any other animal.
Ana: Wow, that's very surprising.
Mike: Maybe mosquitoes kill more with malaria but in terms of big animals, it's definitely the hippopotamus.
Ana: Wow.
Mike: They have very long teeth as well.
Ana: That's scary.
Mike: Yeah. It is pretty scary. You don't want to be – you know, they can swim as well. So they would – and if you go out on the river in a little bit on a dam and there's a hippopotamus, he can tip your boat over and bite you in half.
Ana: All right. So you should definitely look out for hippos when you go to South Africa.
Mike: Yeah. You should be careful. Crocodiles can also be nasty.
Ana: Okay.
