Hunting of big game for food is an ancient practice, possibly arising with the emergence of Homo sapiens ( anatomically modern humans), and possibly pre-dating it, given the known propensity of other great apes to hunt, and even eat their own species. The term is often associated with the hunting of Africa's "Big Five" games ( lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard, and rhinoceros), and with tigers and rhinoceroses on the Indian subcontinent.
