Elephants, polar bears, gorillas, tigers, and lion have been named as the 'big five' most popular members of the animal kingdom to photograph after a public vote. The new list is made up of animals to see in the wild and shoot with a camera. More than 50,000 votes were cast by wildlife lovers around the world in an initiative launched by photographer and journalist Graeme Green. The original Big Five, the killing of which was celebrated by colonial hunters, were lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo. Full details about the selected animals and images are available on the New Big Five Project website and Instagram account.
