Heimlich is a male white lion. He is the brother of Schnitzel.
Initially, Heimlich and Schnitzel worked as performers in Sigmund and Lloyd's White Lion Show. However, when the trainers broke up, Timon and Pumbaa took their place. After the show, Sigmund and Lloyd re-cemented their partnership and agreed to run the show again, this time under Heimlich and Schnitzel's conditions.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Heimlich had a brother named Schnitzel. They lived in Las Vegas. At some point in his life, Heimlich and his brother joined Sigmund and Lloyd's White Lion Show.[1]
Befriending Timon and Pumbaa[]
Heimlich and Schnitzel coo at Pumbaa.
Timon and Pumbaa were in Las Vegas when they stumbled upon a lion show. After entering the show, the duo saw Heimlich and Schnitzel preparing for a performance. Their trainers, Sigmund and Lloyd, argued and broke up. Timon took the opportunity to run the show in order to raise money, but Pumbaa was frightened of the lions, as they were known to eat warthogs. Schnitzel then commented that he disliked his trainer.
As the show began, Timon and Pumbaa entered the lion cage to direct Heimlich and Schnitzel. The lions began to show their frightening sides, which terrified Pumbaa. Timon tried to calm his friend down by telling him that anything carnivorous the lions did would just be an act. Timon then tried to fight the lions, but they defeated him.

The lions approached Pumbaa, whose fear of them made them find him adorable, as he reminded them of a toy they had had when they were cubs. This made Pumbaa realize that the lions were not as threatening as he had thought. Timon tried once again to fight the lions but got frightened by their harsh response. The lions began to tease the meerkat by responding harshly as they performed their acts. Pumbaa, who was no longer afraid of the lions, was entertained by their performance and began to run the show.
Heimlich and Schnitzel's trainers, who were still arguing, heard about Pumbaa's idea for a television special. They eventually reunited and decided to run the show again under the lions' conditions, which included tormenting their trainers.[1]
