...So first we thought it came from a buffalo, (not canon I know but what else did we have), which made basically no sense in my mind...and now they tell us it came from a
snake? Either Disney's never seen the affect of a real snake bite, or they're just trying really hard to convince us Ahadi or Mufasa had nothing to do with it.
Not really a fan of the explanation, but I am intrigued by this (presumably) Outlander lion. My first thought was that it had to be Kovu's father, which was pretty exciting, but he does bear a strong resemblance to Zira which has me thinking my first guess was wrong and he's more likely her father instead.
