If you love animals，you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania．The“Big Five”live here．They are the lion，African elephant，African leopard，black rhinocero and African buffalo．The name“Big Five”came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch．Now they are what people most want to see in the wild．If you visit the park，you should never miss the migration（迁徙）of over 1.5 million wildebeests（角马）and 250，000 zebras every year．This is the most famous site of the park．
