Maybe it's just the notorious appearance of deadly animals in africa but i noticed the majority of them are based on where they are from..of course with the exception of the Sherrif of Nottingham (who is a wolf and are not native to africa) and King Richard the lionhearted (obvious)...let me break it down for you

Bad:

Hippo
Rhinoceros
Crocodile
Tiger
Snake
vulture
Rooster

Good:

Chickens (ok there are chickens everywhere but it's an agricultural stock moreover)
Rabbits (european physique)
Bears
Owl
Pigs
Badgers
Raccoons
Dogs

dunno it just occured to me but i amy be a coincidence after all... African animals seem more physically threatening...

king Richard is a lion, and he's not a bad guy. The rooster is not a bad guy, and anyway roosters are everywhere. Likewise you get snakes everywhere, we even have them in England, though they are only small, weedy ones. For that matter, you get pigs, chickens, owls and dogs in Africa.
