zebra’s stripes only work for the most healthy. if you’re an old or sick zebra; lions will eat you, and other zebras will laugh at you as lions rag-doll your corpse. i get it, zebras’ stripes help them hide, but no animal hides better than the space pterodactyl! space pterodactyls are so good at hiding they cannot even be studied by humans. i like the cleaner wrasse too. funny thing that just popped in my head for no reason: in the natural world a cleaner wrasse will have a better chance of eating a lion, than a lion eating a cleaner wrasse…

(@acityinohio the bird of prey is super cool but also an obvious joke, this I actually propose be added if maybe enough people also agree)
Edit- the proposal for adding “black hole” and “electricity” choices was also serious but if I had to pick one to be added, it would be “yielding sapling”
