Interesting! The lioness has eyes similiar to Zira's, and has a notch in her ear. Thanks for sharing, Akril!

To top it off, it might just be a scar (by the looks of it), but this lioness also has the darker stripe on top of her head, just like Zira does!

You're right! There is a visible dark stripe on the lioness's head. I didn't notice that the first time!

The stripe isn't that noticeable, but I think it's there. I think nearly all real-life lionesses have stripes like Zira's, though, so it isn't too surprising.

You're very welcome, everybody!

I think what really gives this lioness a Zira-like appearance (beside the obvious notch) is how incredibly thin she is. Real lions and lionesses usually aren't this skinny, and I was surprised to find one this gaunt.

Haha, nice! That looks just like her, with the little chin tufts and chip on her ear. So cool. :D

Ffffft I thought it was gonna be a pic of a human that looked like Zira. -That- would have been terrifying.
That lioness does really look like her though haha what if the Lion King story is being played out on the African savannah IRL?

WHAT IF.
