I only ask because of the scene where he saved Kion. And because his explanation for saving Kion, basically that he was actually just saving himself, doesn't make sense.

He jumped into the path of the falling rock to knock Kion out of the way; if he didn't have some reason for not wanting Kion to die, he easily could have just stayed where he was and it would have missed him. Plus, there's the fact that he only came up with that explanation as an excuse when his leopards incredulously asked why he did it.

Also, there's the fact that after the sandstorm hit, he wasn't doing anything at all antagonistic during the journey until he overheard Makini talking about The Tree of Life. Which makes it seem like he was perfectly content to just let them leave to begin with.
