How many years was Scar King? How many human years passed between Kiara as a cub and Kiara as a young huntress? It's tough to tell without seasons ^.^

Kiara was probably like 3.

Scar was King for about 5yrs cause when Simba comes back he has his full mane and it takes 4-5 years for a lion to grow his full mane.

Okay, so let's think about this. *goes to Wikipedia*

I think Muffy and Scar were both fully matured adults at the beginning of TLK1, putting Muffy at about 4.5 and Scar at a little bit younger. Sarabi and the others had to be around the same age.

When Simba left, he had to have been weaned off of his mother's milk at about seven or eight months old. Also, he would have reached adulthood at age 3, but would have become fully matured at 4 or 5. I'm going to assume that he had a tough time fighting a weakling like Scar because he wasn't fully grown yet, so let's say Simba was 3. This also puts scar at about 7.5 years old. Now, this puts Nala at the same age as Simba, which makes sense, since lionesses will have mated by age 4. 3 is a bit early, but we won't go there. Fluffy had to come about somehow >.> Also, when Simba and Nala had Kiara, they both had to be around 5, given their 'mature' look in this movie.

I think we can also assume that Kovu was older than Kiara in the movie, since deleted scenes show this. I think Kovu is about four months older than Kiara, given the fact that he's small but can still walk around on his own. I think Vitani must have been about the same age, but Nuka had to have been about a year old when Kovu was a cub, given Nuka's adolescent appearance. Now, Kovu reached adulthood, but not full maturity, later in the movie. That puts him at about three years old. That makes sense because Kiara still has a bit of growing to do and seems to be younger than Kovu. Nala and Simba were around 7 years and eight months old, if you do the math with how old Kiara is and how much later they had her after Kovu was born.

So that's my reasoning XP

I think Simba and Nala were 2.5 - 3 years old since Simba spent 2 years in the jungle. The directors say it in the audio commentary. They thought about putting a subtitle saying "Kenya, 2 years later" right after Hakuna Matata but dropped the idea.

Yeah. I asume maybe 2 - 3 years of Scar's reign
