Lion prides go to and fro, once in a while a few females tell a pride "good bye" to go live a new life, but the male lions' future is even more unpredictable.


 * Hurt while still a cub


 * Survive and reach teenage time when they can hunt


 * Walk by surprise with other young lions calmly


 * Fight a lone lion and die


 * Die as prey or weak injured victim of another species


 * Lose territory


 * Beat a tiger


 * Experience their range shrinking


 * Get shot by humans

Captive or Wild?????????

Science of this big cat and the books and films plus these episodes my thought is Nuka was born around the same time as Simba but the two didn't meet each other. My thought of Zira is she was still in Simba's pride in the first film but was too much of a minor character to mention. Grass or trees and giant rocky walls even if they're in the same pride the lionesses know how to hide their cubs quite well. When real-life male lions start to reach maturity they either leave their pride to concur a different one, concur their own by challenging the current alpha, or killed within their birth pride before they reach maturity. Scar did the second, Simba did too later, then Kion did the first.
