What do you think really killed Mufasa? I think it was when he was pushed from the cliff and was trampled by wildebeasts.

I'm sorry if this topic seems silly but I've seen a few people that think the fall killed him. I was curious to hear other people's opinions.

The fall killed him, to me anyway. It was a long way down. And by the time he fell the wildebeest were nearly finished running by.

Definately the fall.

I didn't think the fall was that high. I think it was the wildebeast.

I would say the fall is what kill him

Definitely the fall. Possibly a combination of both, although I doubt it.

Even if it wasn't the fall; he would of been killed by the wildebeests.
But out of the two; I would say it was more likely the fall.

I don't think it was the fall. Cats almost always land on their feet, not that I'm saying he landed on his feet. Cats also handle falls really well. I've heard of a cat that survived a fall from 9 stories and walked away with only a few bruises. I think he would mostly have died from being trampled.

I agree with Summer my friend saw a cat fall off a 2 story Balcony railing and went it see if it was ok and it just sat there for a moment and then walked away. I think it was a combination of both the impact of the fall and then be trampled that did it.

Yeah. Even if he landed on his back, surely his ribs and spine and other bones would been broken by the hooves of the wildebeast.
