The impossible five : in search of South Africa's most elusive mammals

Visiting Africa's game reserves is often all about spotting 'The Big Five' - the five most dangerous animals on the continent - the Lion, the Leopard, the Elephant, the Rhino and the Buffalo.

But what about those animals you have almost zero chance of seeing?

Justin Fox drew up a list of the most elusive animals and set off to find 'The Impossible Five' - the Cape Mountain Leopard, the Aardvark, the Pangolin, the Riverine Rabbit and the Naturally Occurring White Lion. In a humorous, original, off-beat adventure story, Justin travels around Africa in search of these forgotten animals.

Along the way he meets some very weird characters, and other absurd mammals.
