Zebras are pretty evil. They bite and kick. Why can’t they be more like horses with stripes?

Zebras are good. [Quaggas](http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/mesaxonia/quagga.html) are good, too (though extinct).

Giraffe, Zebra and Elephant Shrews are all good.  
Owls are evil, but cool evil.

So the Bald Eagle is a bit mixed up.
