Poor Mans Big 5

[NoStepOnSnek]

I’ve heard it said several times over that the blue wildebeest is the poor man’s buffalo. So that got me thinking:

What would you consider the poor man’s big 5 or dangerous 7?

 

[Betterinthebush]

Sable (elephant)
Kudu (buffalo)
hounds over caracal (leopard)
Kafue lechwe (rhinoceros)
Honey badger (lion)

For seven:

Nyala (hippo)
Sitatunga (crocodile)

You already mentioned blue’s, so, I added one more

ETA: all taken free range where they are found endemically

caracal or serval - leopard
Honey badger- lion
