Thurston/Relationships

===Friends, Allies & Acquaintances===

Thurston's Herd
Though he is the leader of his and does care about them when when something startles or when danger is he is always the first to alert his herd to panic and run. Though he does have tendancy to get separated from them at times.

Bunga
When Bunga came up with great idea to create a dam to block the water when Lake Kaziwa floods he compliments Bunga on his idea, and is later seen receiving advice from Bunga when Rafiki says that honey badgers are the smartest animals in the Pride Lands as seen in "Bunga the Wise".

Ono
When Ono tries to warn Thurston and his herd that Janja and clan are coming but Thurston, however, is more concerned with eating than listening to him. So Ono finally resorts to diving at the zebras, frightening them into panic and run to save them and get them out of the way so Kion can use the Roar of the Elders.

Kinyonga
After she mistakenly startles Thurston and his herd, Kinyonga has shown a great desire to be friends with him, using her camouflage to hide herself to avoid startling the zebra, praising him considerably. She is visibly upset when her identity is revealed and Thurston soon enters a panicked state.

Ajabu
Not much is known between Ajabu and Thurston other than when they first met Thurston was puzzled as to what Ajabu was. When Thurston was trying to guess what he was he didn't even let Ajabu get the chance to explain himself.

Shingo
Though they don't interact much Shingo does scoff at him for stating zebras are the most delicious animals in the Pride Lands When Beshte is assuring him and the other Pride Land animals.

Tamaa
Though they only interacted once Thurston was impressed at the way the drongo can imitate him. Which cuases Thurston to laugh and marvel at how it seems like he's talking, but he is actually not. When Tamaa finishes the performance, Thurston says "bye" and Tamaa says "bye" back in Thurston's voice. He laughs about how he's saying bye to himself.

Laini
the two seem to be on good terms as they are seen waiting for Ma Tembo to find the new water source as they are very thirsty.

Makucha
After spotting his target Ajabu with Thurston's herd, Makucha is about to start chasing Ajabu again until he trips over Thurston, who begs for him not to eat him. However, Makucha completely ignores what could be considered a 'free meal', firmly believing that okapis are much more tastier than zebras.

Although Makucha appears to be mildly annoyed by his presence, Thurston is only a mild enemy to the leopard. And feeling insulted that there is something tastier than him.
