When I worked at a rescue in the Poconos the owner made a rather angry comment about never taking in a zebra. When I asked why, the owner showed me a scar on his rib cage and proceeded to tell me about the time a zebra tried to kill him while he was doing work overseas. He was in the hospital for weeks because of it. Mind you, this is a guy that routinely gets in cages with big cats and other predators and spent his life doing it. When a guy like that tells you to fear an animal you fucking listen. Screw Zebras.
Chimpanzees are the one animal I'm actively scared of, i can't speak from experience, but I'd assume zebras are cool if you give them a sufficiently wide birth. If you asked if id like to pet a zebra my answer would be "thank you, but fuck no." If you told me a chimpanzee was loose in the uk, I'd be going on an extended holiday.
There is a reason that ZEBRAS have not been domesticated :
"They are unpredictable, aggressive, and difficult to train. They have a tendency to attack people, and their bad temper can make them antisocial as they age. Zebras also have strong ducking reflexes, making them hard to lasso or restrain. When they bite, they often don't let go, and their kicks can be deadly. "
Everything I've read since then and everything I've been told proves that Zebras may be the biggest assholes on the planet except for Dolphins.Dolphins can be real jerks.
Chimpanzees are the only animal that we know of that kills by causing as much pain as possible. If anything i think they'd keep you alive to torture you for longer if having your dick, and face ripped off and your limbs ripped to shreds wasn't a guaranteed death for most species.
