3!!This episode contains examples of:
4* ArtisticLicenseBiology. Yeah, [[http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2007/01/25/more-on-the-evolution-of-vampi/ about that rhino and tickbird song]]...
5* ADogNamedDog: Kifaru means "rhinoceros" in Swahili.
6* BerserkButton: Hurt or threaten Kifaru's friends, and he'll have no problem head-butting you! Makuu learns that the hard way.
7* BigDamnHeroes: Kifaru arrives to rescue Mwenzi from Makuu before the former is eaten. The rescue attempt fails when Kifaru charges straight past Makuu and crashes into a tree.
8* BlindMistake: Due to his poor eyesight, Kifaru can't navigate properly without someone telling him which way to go. TruthInTelevision: rhinos often rely on scent rather than sight to move around.
9* FeudEpisode: The episode revolves around Kifaru the rhino and Mwenzi the tickbird having a falling-out, with the Guard trying to restore their friendship.
10* InterspeciesFriendship: They even have a song about rhinos and tickbirds being friends for a long time.
11* MeaningfulName: Mwenzi means "companion" in Swahili.
12* NotWhatItLooksLike: Just when the Guard convinces Mwenzi to reconcile with Kifaru, they find the rhino complimenting Ono's duties as honorary tickbird. Mwenzi, thinking he's been replaced, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flies off in a rage]].
