Gorilla + Zebra

The Jungle King Meets the Herd Animal

The gorilla wants to rule the roost with quiet authority and expects everyone to fall in line — which is adorable to a zebra, who answers to no single leader and travels in a crowd for a reason. As friends, they can manage a grudging mutual respect, provided the gorilla doesn't try to alpha its way through every conversation. Romantically, though, this is a slow-motion disaster: the gorilla needs devotion and hierarchy, while the zebra needs freedom and the comfort of its herd. In short, the gorilla is looking for a loyal subject, and the zebra is looking for an exit.
