Was Scar Healthier than Simba?

I don't know..

Simba and Muffy were odviously more healthy than Scar. I really don't think Disney went by that many facts, lol.

I'd imagine not, as LK is vastly a mix of fantasy and reality. Lions don't really come in gray or two-tone either, yet they do in LK for the pelt variety. It's so they don't all have the same dull repeat time and time again, I believe. As for Mufasa and Scar, as well as Simba; The former and latter were both healthier than Scar was. I realize some lion/esses have slighter or lankier builds than others, but Scar always appeared underweight. Possibly because he was at the bottom of the pride's foodchain when Simba was a cub, and because of the lack of food in the Pridelands by the time Simba returns.

Just a thought, though.

Mufasa is older, Scar calls him big brother.

Who needs facts, Scar is getting old and Simba is a young adult. Who do you think wins?

You have a good point there

Besides, Simba is well fed and obviously has at least occasional excercise.

I'm not sure if dark maned lions are healthier, but I know that lionesses usually prefer darker maned lions. Maybe that is because they may be healthier, I don't know. The lions I like the best are Nuka, Scar, and Kovu. Guess what? They all have dark manes!! It doesn't have anything to do with age. It wouldn't make sense for Scar to be older than Mufasa because otherwise Scar would be the king.

Yes, in real life, lionesses prefer darker maned lions, but you've never seen a red maned lion in Africa, have you?

Nope! I've also never seen lions with dark fur, like Kovu. All of the ones i've seen are either tan or white.
