Fox's book The Impossible Five named South Africa's most elusive animals, including the Cape mountain leopard, the aardvark, the ground pangolin, the white lion, and the riverine rabbit. [7] They are almost impossible to track in the wild, and spotting one in the wild is considered a major accomplishment.
