Boy, do I feel silly. Of course the comics didn't exist during the movie

Sorry, I wrote that rather late so I don't think I had my brain fully engaged. In my opinion it could be a lioness or a cub. I don't think Disney expects most people to pay much attention to background details nor do they think about it. They just needed extras to show the pride sleeping together inside Pride Rock. I am a person who loves characters that were never in the movies (Kopa (kinda of obvious

), Mheetu, etc. However, these characters do not officially exist to Disney.
