A Shield and Beast

A while back, in my heraldic beasts thread, Mike_Oettle and I discussed a zebra on a shield as used by a South African commando unit that has now been disbanded.
I had been looking for a zebra to use as my avatar, zebras are symbolically special to me, and Mike said he had this picture.
He has changed the background from red to blue, which serendipitously is exactly what I would have wanted.
I don't know that this would be seen as arms, that's not really my intention, but I suppose it is a sort of heraldry.
Much thinks to Mike, and I'm relying on you all's comments; it is my understanding this is the head of a zebra on the blue shield.
My only suggestion might be, as a symbol, to ad a patch of brown color to the bottom of the shield below the zebra as the ground or earth.
So what do you all think?
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
