Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, goats and seals walk on all fours, whereas monkeys and gorillas can switch between walking on two legs and knuckle-walking.

Birds like the ostrich, the condor and the penguins, of course, walk on two legs and can use their wings as hands.
