The average male lion weighs around 400lbs while the average female lion weighs around 290lbs. Lions are very social compared to other cat species, often living in prides that feature females, offspring and a few adult males. Lions can reach speeds of up to 50 mph but only in short bursts. Male lions are easy to recognize thanks to their distinctive manes, and live for 10 to 14 years in the wild and up to 20 years in captivity. Lionesses are better hunters than males and do most of the hunting for a pride. The natural predator for lions is humans. 033685 $59.95 1/2g Gold Set The famous Big Five refers to five of Africa’s greatest wild animals - the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, and Buffalo. The term “Big Five” was originally coined by hunters, and referred to the five most difficult animals to hunt on foot in Africa. The Big Five wasn’t chosen for their size, but rather for the difficulty in hunting them, and the degree of danger involved. The term is still used today in most tourist and wildlife guides, and are usually high on the priority list for many a visitor to African game reserves. The obverse of each features the Tanzania coat of arms. Tanzania’s coat of arms is composed of a man and woman supporting a warrior’s shield and elephant tusks. The shield is divided into four sections: the first depicts a burning torch (symbolizing enlightenment, knowledge and freedom), the second is the national flag, the third a crossed axe and hoe, and the fourth contains wavy bands of blue representing the land and sea. The shield is set upon a representation of Mount Kilimanjaro features the phrase “Uhuru na Umoja”, meaning Freedom and Unity, the official motto of Tanzania. Each reverse features one of the Big Five animals of Africa: Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino or Cape Buffalo against the backdrop of their natural African habitat. Reverse inscriptions include the series name, date, weight and purity. Specially manufactured using polished dies and selected planchets (blanks), to give the desired mirror effect; they are typically struck at least two times or more. These coins rarely enter circulation. Each proof coin contains .9999 pure gold! Tanzania Big Five - Elephant The African Elephant is the largest mammal in the world, weighing up to 12,000 pounds and standing 10 feet tall! They are remarkable adaptable and live in woodlands, forests, deserts and grassland; spread across countries in sub-Saharan Africa. With over 2,000 elephants living in the Serengeti National Park, you are sure to see them while on safari. The demand for ivory led to a dramatic decrease in elephant numbers, especially during the 1970’s and 1980’s. A ban on all ivory trade has helped stabilize the population to around 600,000 in the last decade. But poaching is still a major issue, especially in parts of Africa where there is political instability. The African elephant is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 033687 $59.95 Tanzania Big Five - Buffalo The African Buffalo, also known as the Cape buffalo, is the only species of wild cattle that can be found in Africa. Herds usually consist of females, their offspring and one or more males. Males that are not part of the herd can form bachelor herds, or live a solitary life. It is easy to distinguish the males from females; male buffalos are typically larger, darker and possess large horns that are joined in the middle of their head called a ‘boss’. Although buffalos are non-territorial, they will fight amongst each other for rank and females. The impact of the African buffalo’s bosses is estimated to rival that of a car hitting a wall at 31 miles an hour. Cape buffalos are four times stronger than an ox and can weigh between 660 and 1900 pounds. 033688 $59.95 Tanzania Big Five - Leopard The African Leopard, is the smallest animal of the Big Five. It is distinguished by its beautiful, black-spots called rosettes. Leopards are solitary creatures that only spend time with others when they are mating or raising cubs. They are also nocturnal and spend their nights hunting, and sleep during the day. They can adapt to most environments and can survive in both warm and cold climates. Leopards are carnivores (meat-eaters), but are not particular about their prey. They have been known to hunt animals like antelopes and deer, all the way down to rodents, birds and even fish. An excellent climber, leopards often drags its prey up trees to hide it from scavengers such as hyenas. Leopards can run up to 36 miles per hour; leap over 20 feet and jump up to 10 feet! Leopards are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 033689 $59.95 Tanzania Big Five - Rhino The Rhino is the most endangered species of the Big Five! The two species of rhino’s in Africa are the Black rhino and White rhino, although they do not differ much in color. The name White rhino comes from the Dutch word ‘weid’, which means wide and refers to its square mouth. The name Black rhino may have been derived from the dark mud they wallow in to help reflect the sun, and unlike the White rhino it has a hooked lip. Rhinos have poor vision and will sometimes attack trees and rocks by accident. However, their hearing and sense of smell are excellent, making up for their poor eyesight. 033686 $59.95
