Simba's Pride

Simba's Pride is a pride of lions that live in Pride Rock. There are six known members of the pride that are confirmed to be living, including their king, Simba. When hunting, they take only what they need in order to keep the Circle of Life in balance.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
As the sun rises, Simba teaches the pride's future ruler, Kiara, about the pride's kingdom. Kion interrupts, and Simba sends him away so that he can continue to teach Kiara her lesson before she goes to track gazelles with two other female cubs of the pride, Tiifu and Zuri. Later, Kion becomes the leader of the Lion Guard. Simba takes him into the Lair of the Lion Guard and shows him some of the pride's history: the story of how his great-uncle Scar destroyed his own Lion Guard because they refused to help him kill and overthrow his older brother, Mufasa.

When Kion assembles a Lion Guard that is not made up entirely of lions, Simba reminds his son that there are plenty of good lions in the pride for him to select for the Guard. However, when the members of the Guard prove capable of driving hyenas out of the Pride Lands, both Simba and the pride's queen, Nala, welcome the new Lion Guard.
