@MysticCanines'Heroine732, the negative portrayal of snakes in media is part of why there is such a great fear of what are generally un-aggressive animals. Do you think people were afraid of Viper from the Kung Fu Panda movies? It's all about putting snakes in a nice light. Part of not frightening younger kids is not training them to be frightened by constantly having evil/dangerous/bad snakes.

Additionally, hyenas aren't scary - at least not so much as lions are.

Maybe the Lion Guard shouldn't have Beshte the hippo, considering that hippos kill the most people in Africa after mosquitos? Seems pretty frightening to me.
