Some other orthogonal/diagonal pairs of animals that might be added are
Panda and Bear (former distinguished by patch of opposite colour around
eye) and Sow and Boar (latter distinguished by tusks). Along with the
suggested Wildebeest character it might be worth including a slimmed-down
version for for Antelope or Gazelle depending on context. If some kind of
'striping' is to be applied to the Knight character for the Zebra, it
could also be applied to the Camel for the 5:1 Zemel, and to the Elephant
for the piece distinctive to Korean Chess.
