Zakumi

Zakumi is a leopard, an animal very characteristic of South Africa. He has a cartoonish smile, even teeth, and sharp fangs, due to his exceptional agility and strength.

• Zakumi has a matted, light green coat, the same color as the central stripe on the South African flag.

• It has soft yellow fur with black spots scattered throughout its fur at short intervals, just like a real animal.

• Zakumi has green eyes, the same color as her hair.

• Zakumi wears tight shorts the same green color as his hair and eyes, and a white shirt with the words "South Africa 2010" written on it.

• The area around its mouth and the tip of its tail are covered in white fur; the tail is long and almost thin, with spiky fur forming twice at the white tip.

Zakumi likes to have fun, run, play, and be himself. He suspects Fuleco likes him, but he can't prove it, so he ignores it. Zakumi is kind, playful, and enjoys laughing with his friends. He loves his country and considers himself, just like his animal, a jaguar, fully honoring the animal.
