15.  No swimming in the pool after dark.  That’s when the hippos swim.

14.  Never jump in the water with two feet.  You never know what may be lurking underneath.

13.  You don’t have to run fast.  Just faster than the slowest one in the herd.

12.  Don’t walk around with a target on your ass.

11.  It’s nice to see the world from a giraffe’s perspective…unless you are in a lightning storm and you become the lightening rod.

10.  Sometimes a little rain must fall to make tomorrow that much more beautiful.

9.  Never get between a mama and her baby.

8.  The male lion will depend on the female to get him food, unless she is not around to get it for him…then he will do it himself.

7.  Just as every zebra has its own unique stripes, we are all beautiful in our own way.

6.  Some of us do our best work at night.

5.  It’s never a good idea to stray from the pack.

4.  Hakuna Matata – it means no worries (for the rest of your days).

3.  It’s good to be the king.

2.  Sometimes you’re the diner, sometimes you’re the dinner.

1.  When the Zulu Tribal Chief puts his arms tightly around you and whispers in your ear, “I want to take you as my own,” it’s time to leave the country!
