Marty from Madagascar

Marty is a zebra that is contained in the Central Park Zoo in New York in the movie Madagascar. I like that he is adventurous and doesn't want to stay in his secluded pen. I think it is interesting how he realizes that there is life outside of the zoo and that he believes "the grass is greener somewhere else". Even though his friend Alex the lion is supposed to be the king of the zoo, I like that Marty takes charge and decides what is best for him instead of listening to Alex. In the movie, Marty is faced with reality when Alex tries to eat him because he sees that outside of the zoo, zebras and lions can't be friends because one is a predator and one is prey. I like that Marty is the one who opens his eyes and tries to break through society and find what's right for him.
