How Old is Zira?

How Old is Zira?

Postby Annie » May 7th, 2010, 6:17 pm

I was thinking the other day, wondering how Zira could live so long! She's clearly quite old during SP, but would she still be alive if she was the same age and Mufasa/Scar?

So I'm thinking she might be closer to Simba's age, but a bit older. Possibly teenage years, when Simba was a young cub.
I think she might have idolised Scar and been quite a bully towards Simba and Nala because she was smart enough to pick up on Scars distain towards the two.

What do you guys think? Do you think she's Mufasa/Scars age, or closer to Simba?

I think she's of the same generation as Mufasa, Scar, Sarabi and Sarafina. Pride lionesses can live up to be about 12 years old. Pride males get their manes as full as Simba's around 4 years (?). That would make her from 4 to 5 when Simba and Nala were cubs and 8 to 12 in SP. That's my opinion at least!

And yes I suppose she would have been a bully towards the cubs. Maybe she knew Mufasa would be upset? I dunno. In my fan fic, Zira and the others are still part of a different pride. But again, that's just my opinion.

I agree, I've always considered her to be from Mufasa's generation, and fairly old in SP. Certainly much older than Simba I think.

Yeah, I always thought she was the same age as Scar, and thus Mufasa. She seemed older than Simba's generation.

I'd asume she was around Muffy and Taka's age, just from the fact that when she's introduced into TlK2SP, she already has Nuka, who is at least an older adolescent, so that would make it harder for her to be around Simba's age, unless...um, nevermind. Not going to go there. lol. :)

XD, yeah~. Good idea, KM. *Pats your back.*

I'm with the rest of you, though; I agree she was most likely from Mufasa's generation. It seems most logical, considering the age of her firstborn.

I actually think she’s a little younger than Mufasa.. Zira seems to be quite mature in SP, so I’m assuming she’s Mufasas age when he appeared in TLK. Obviously Zira is much older than Simba, but not old enough to be his mother. So I think Zira was a cub when Mufasa was a teenager.

I opine that Zira is around Sarabi's age. I have no aid on this, I just assume, considering it seems like a reasonable declaration.

Unquestionable, genuine, implicit, authentic theory of yours. Marvelous!
