* TokenGoodCop: The [=FunJungle=] animal park is big enough to be incorporated as its own city, and its security guards function as a police force and investigate a lot of poaching and other animal-related crimes. However, most of them only applied for the job after being rejected by real police forces, and it shows. Chief Hoenekker, the head of security from book three onward, is a tough professional (especially once he gradually learns to avoid making NotNowKiddo judgments), but "no matter how competent and qualified Hoenekker was, his security force was equally incompetent and unqualified." Large Marge and Kevin get the occasional BigDamnHeroes moment but are overage klutzes who cause more problems than they solve, Buck and Athmani start out as approachable professionals but gradually start butting heads with main characters [[spoiler:and are both involved in criminal conspiracies]], and the other guards are nonentities who make Marge and Kevin look good.
