what kind of animal is zig from zig and sharko
Zig & Sharko The series takes place on a volcanic island and revolves around an eternal war between Zig, a brown hyena, and Sharko, a large, muscular great white shark. The cause of the war is Marina, a beautiful mermaid with red hair; Sharko is in love with Marina, while Zig wants only to eat her. Zig spends most of his time trying to capture and eat Marina, and is frequently seen tricking her into lying down on a giant submarine sandwich roll prepared with veggies and condiments. He concocts more elaborate schemes reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote, but like the coyote's, these are always foiled by Sharko, bad luck, or both, and often result in his grievous bodily injury. Zig is a native of Africa and arrived at the island as a baby in a shipwreck or plane wreck.
