Too many cubs, too little lions?

Ah, no problem.

I also think that Mufasa would be the father to any other cub in the pride (except Nala. As likely as it is, and as natural as it is for lions, I can't accept them being half siblings.) What I think is that Simba was the heir because his mother was chosen as Mufasa's mate and queen, so because both his parents were "royal", he was the heir, whereas any other cub that wasn't born by Sarabi was just another member of the pride.

But don't you thinkthat if Mufasa was everyone's father, then at least one of them would resemble him in the slightest. Only Simba does.

already Malka come from another territory

I have a theory but good....
I think that Ni or King Joe to found a beautiful lioness in the Prideland and then are left by leaving a small cub behind them

Maybe Kula and Chumvi's mother(s, depending on what you think) was dark, and they took after her? Tama and Tojo look like Mufasa kinda, Tojo is just a blue eyed Simba really. And Tama is light. Not golden, but light. Maybe she took after her mother too. You have to consider the mothers!

Well maybe in the reality many cubs have the same father, but i don´t know in TLK series, Is a little hard to believe because the movies and the books are suppose to be for children, and the authors didn’t thing the fans will be wondering these details, but we´ll never know the truth xD

Exactly.

If anyone saw the first season of Big Cat Diaries, Simba's pride (real life, the male lion was called Simba ) had a few adult females, one male (Simba), and about SIXTEEN cubs. But in real life, much less cubs survive into adulthood as in the Lion King, and the pride featured in Big Cat Diaries is one of the biggest in the world. But I am guessing that due to the cub-killing nature of real life males, all of those cubs in the pride were Simba's.

And I think that we can apply at least some parallelism between real life and the Lion King, which means that really, only Mufasa and Scar (maybe a rogue, or a cub brought in from the outside) would be required to have all th cubs.
