Hippos age VERY slow in life. They can live from up to 40 years, and a hippo's full year is no shy of a human's full year.

This would mean that Beshte would outlive most of his friends and family and their children, and THEIR and watch most of them die, and maybe even be among the only member of his generation left before he completes his journey in the Circle of Life.

Makucha's army was sent miles away from the Tree of Life. This may seem like nothing, but just look deeply into it.

Kion and the Lion Guard ended up returning home and later moving to the Tree of Life, having both families there. So at least they knew where they were and were they belonged.

Makucha's army on the other hand was sent whisking away to another part of the earth. If they don't end up getting killed from the impact, they will be doomed to walk the rest of their days around the corners of the earth trying to find a new home, return to the Tree of Life, not realizing how that would also be a lost cause or trying to return to their old homes. They may never get to return to their natural home and habitats or see any of their old allies (the rest of Makucha's leap that we saw in Season 2 would probably be scared out of their pants, wondering where their leader and his seconds-in-command are)).

They'd have to hunt for new prey, and given the fact that they tried eating exotic animals at the Tree of Life, I'd say that would not be that bad, but then there's the other factor that the natural predators of the habitats they may encounter will view them as competition, and will do anything to eliminate them because as we know from the first movie, invasive species and over-hunting/population NEVER end well.

And let's not forget the harsh environments they'd have to face. Either freezing weather, swealtering heat, or just too plain for any of them to live in. Chuluun would for sure die out there.

So to put it straight, Makucha's army probably got the most brutal defeats ever. The Outlanders were plain beaten and under Jasiri's reign, they were no threat. Zira and Ushari died quick deaths while Scar was killed a second time. Shenzi's clan left the Pride Lands but at least of their own accord, and Africa is known to be a huge place.

But Makucha's army? Literally sent flying miles and miles away, with likely no intention on where they were sent, and would either end up dying from the event, from the unfamiliar environments, from competitive animals, or be forced to spend the rest of their lives walking and walking, trying to get home, but never actually returning, and completing their twisted journey in the oh-so cruel Circle of Life..

Happy Mother's Day to Sarabi, Sarafina, Nala, Ãnanda, Ma, and all the moms on the wiki!

As for Zira... let's just say she didn't win Mom of the Year.

Someone has removed Kion from the category "Rulers of the Tree of Life", which is quite frankly absurd. Kion had been in that category for as long as Janna and Rani had; whoever removed him clearly had something wrong with their mind. I also noticed that someone had been blocked for, amongst other things, spreading false information. Whatever about the other things, how on earth is saying that Kion is a ruler spreading false information? Watch the show, for heaven's sake! Kion is, without question, one of the most likeable characters in the show (though Fuli is my favourite) and he earns his happy ending by finding the love of his life and progressing from a leader into a monarch. Do not dishonor Disney's work! Also, it's part of what makes Kion the antithesis of Scar. While Scar let power go to his head and became King through hate and violence, Kion let romance go to his head and became King through love and a happy marriage. Let's be realistic, Kion should be returned to that category immediately; to paraphrase what he said himself, he and Rani make a great team, so it's only right that he is in that category with his love. Could someone please return Kion to the category "Rulers of the Tree of Life" pronto?

In the end credits of one of the S3 episodes, one character named "Pim" is listed as one of the characters. Pim is a hyrax who makes recurring cameos (normally almost getting eaten or killed) Setting aside the fact that the hyraxes in said episode appeared in what I can only assume is the Back-lands, has no one else noticed this one factor?

Pim translates to hyrax in Swahilli. Which is fitting. But notice that there is another word meaning hyrax. "Pimbi."

And what hyrax do we see that's named Pimbi?

That's right. This guy. Kopa's little hyrax friend from the novelizations.

I know the books aren't canon obviously, but this was something I've noticed ever since the last 10 episodes of the show came out on watch.tlg and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed.

This was more than likely unintentional, but that makes it even more of a subtle cameo and it's just amazing to think about.

Until you realize that Pimbi must have serious PTSD from all the near-death experiences he's had lol.

In my HC they are Malka and Tama

I got all of them!
