Early life

Once the baboons had quieted, Zala declared that a cheetah had climbed into their tree for the third night in a row, this time nearly making off with one of their own. Mosi placed the blame on Rafiki for having summoned it with his dreams. At that moment, Junia intervened and reminded the elders of all the times Rafiki's powers had come in handy, such as the time he had healed Inaki. Despite her protests, Mosi called for a vote, and the troop voted to exile Rafiki.
