There's something really special about Africa. It builds really powerful and capable animals. I mean looks at a lion - ultimate hunting machine. The zebra is the ultimate escape machine, with highly developed patterning and group coordination to make it hard to catch. The patterning isn't even really camouflage, I think it's something more advanced, designed to mess up the predator's vision system.
Ants and bees out of Africa are insane. Ants have jaws so powerful that they can be used as sutures, and the bees are capable of multiple stings so they can pretty much kill an animal threatening the hive.
Look at Australia in comparison - koala bear. Seriously? I really like Australia as it seemed to favor creativity over brute performance, but just sayin'And we are the product of Africa developing a species that specializes in intelligent behavior. Pretty brutal sometimes too, which is how the African species tend to be.
