Tangaagim is a male polar bear.
When Beshte earned a notorious reputation around the Tree of Life, Tangaagim reported on him to Baliyo. Eventually, Beshte saved Pinguino's life, and the penguin subsequently cleared his name. Afterward, Tangaagim and his fellows forgave and cheered for Beshte.
One day, Makucha's army attacked the Tree of Life's animal residents, including Tangaagim. However, the Lion Guard arrived in time to save them.

When Beshte wandered into the arctic region of the Tree of Life's territory, he slipped and fell on the ice. Tangaagim approached and taught him to crouch and step heavily so as not to lose his footing. Beshte asked where some other animals were, and Tangaagim pointed him toward the penguins.

Tangaagim teaches Beshte how to walk on ice.
When the other animals raised a complaint about Beshte's frequent destructive accidents, Tangaagim admitted that he had not thought that Beshte was capable of such horrible behavior. Later, Beshte encountered Tangaagim, who ignored him and ran away, as he was fearful of being the hippopotamus' next target.
In an effort to clear Beshte's name, Baliyo and Bunga led Tangaagim and the penguins to the Tree of Life. There, Pinguino told the gathered animals that Beshte had saved his life, and the crowd cheered for Beshte, including Tangaagim.[1]
