Mufasa: They can live on grass and greens, but we can't, son. It's not the way we were made. Simba: Who made us that way? Mufasa: The Lion in the Moon who made us all. —Mufasa and Simba

After Simba's encounter with the hyenas, the cub is feeling shaken and upset, so Sarabi takes Simba out one night to see the moon. To calm her son, she sings him a song about a lion who inhabits the moon.

The Orphaned Birds

Everyone notices him sooner or later - the Great Spirit. ―Mufasa

The Great Spirit is a male lion who rules the animals. He seems to be a deity of sorts, as Mufasa mentions that he rules their lives. He is assumed to be the cause of Tojo's sprained leg, as Tojo is later able to take in and raise six orphaned birds.
