Фокс (Fox)Ana: I heard that South Africa is famous for its wild animals.
Mike: That's true. We have many different kinds of animals in South Africa. Have you heard of the Big Five?
Ana: I think so, but I don't remember what it is.
Mike: So the Big Five are the animals that foreign tourists like to come and see in South Africa. And there are many safaris and trips you can go on to wildlife reserves to see these animals.
Ana: So what are they?
Mike: So would you like to guess?
Ana: I guess, lions.
Mike: Yes, that's one of them.
Ana: And elephants.
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… 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 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, 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 kill 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… If you go out on the river in a little boat 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.
