  • Did you know you can see the word "sex" in the clouds its true i saw it with my own eyes if you look closely you'll see it too walt disney wants you to have sexxxxx!!!!!

Mufasa, Simba's father and King of the Pride Lands.
  • Mufasa - King of the Pride Lands, father of Simba and mate of Sarabi. A wise and fair ruler, who understands and rules according to The Circle of Life. Mufasa was reportedly the name of the last king of the Bagada people, who were dispersed during the British colonization of Kenya [2].

Scar, evil brother of Mufasa.
  • Scar - Brother of Mufasa and Simba's uncle. The villain of the movie, Scar aspires to become king by overthrowing Mufasa and Simba.
  • Timon - Comical meerkat who is best friends with warthog Pumbaa. They adopt and raise Simba under the philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" (Swahili for "no worries"). A real meerkat at the Fellow Earthlings Wildlife Center, Inc near Palm Springs, California was the inspiration for the movie Timon, and was his namesake. [3]


  • Pumbaa - Clumsy warthog who adopts Simba with Timon. Pumbaa means "simpleton" in Swahili.
  • Rafiki - Mandrill and wise old shaman, Simba's spiritual guide (Swahili for "friend"). Rafiki's tree is a baobab tree; baobab trees are occasionally known colloquially as "monkey-bread trees".
  • Nala - Childhood friend and future mate of Simba (Swahili for "gift"). According to co-director Rob Minkoff, speaking in 2004, the general assumption during production was that Nala was the offspring of either Scar or Mufasa. The film never specifies this, due to the incest taboo, though it is consistent with the real-life behavior of lions.

  • Shenzi, Banzai and Ed - Three hyenas who assist Scar. Shenzi is Swahili for "uncouth"; banzai means "skulk" or "lurk."
