Mtoto/Relationships

==Family==

His Mom
Mtoto does care for his mom and loves her very much. He gets very worried for her safety when she rampages on Mapango Cliffs because at the time she could not see, but feels relieved when she is rescued.

Beshte
Mtoto looks up to Beshe as a hero, something which the hippo is humbled by. Beshte does his best to guide Mtoto on his path, keeping his chin up when things go astray, offering him praise when needed and coming to his rescue whenever he can.

Beshte has been known to become particularly concerned when Mtoto is upset, as seen in "The Kilio Valley Fire" when Mtoto and his herd almost had to leave the Pride Lands.

Fuli
Fuli and Mtoto are shown to have a close relationship.

Bunga
Mtoto became one of Bunga's loyal followers after Rafiki said the honey badgers are the smartest animals in the Pride Lands. He is later seen fanning a leaf over Bunga's head. When the temporary dam breaks, Mtoto continues fanning his leaf in the air until he realises that Bunga has left. He follows Bunga, who enters the canyon. Realizing that Mtoto is following him with the water close behind, Bunga calls out for Mtoto to run, waiting behind as the little elephant runs into the canyon ahead of the honey badger. When Ono accidentally leads the crew to a dead end. Mtoto and the other animals look to Bunga for help, who instead tells them to listen to Kion, who is the real sage. Even after that the two still remain good friends. Mtoto is even grateful that Bunga saved his mom's life.

Ma Tembo
Ma Tembo and Mtoto have good relationship seeing as how he and his mom are apart of her herd and is willing to protect him from danger. He even convinced her to take part in the Christmas celebration.
