For all I know coyotes are as noble and misunderstood as wolves.
Laughing Hyenas as I understand are nothing to  laugh about; the terror of
Africa if I recall.
My official favorite animal has always been the Hippo.
I have the start of a Hippo collection. And they seem real nice. Very jolly.
Turns out the opposite.
Africans in the know have no qualms about Rhino's (hippos with horns) Lions
and cheatas but don't want any part of a hippo. If they see ya they can kill
ya. Like an alligator. And for no reason will. But I still like them. I just
don't need to meet one. I'd not try to feed one.  You won't find one parked
in my kitchen.
