There are no wild bears in Africa.

Other animals not listed that are native to Africa are allowed.
Non-native/non-invasive species must have a legitimate reason for being in the Reserve - how they got there.

As for colors and designs, any is allowed, though we highly recommend natural designs and colors. We do NOT want florescent colored hippos with scene hair. Try to keep it realistic, but creativity and variation is allowed. So you can add markings to your lion and mild hair styles to your hyenas. ;D
