My Lion King Forum

Ask Shenzi anything, anything at all and she'll answer honestly, or at least...try to.

Which of the other hyenas do you like better, Banzai or Ed?

Goodness honey! Choosing between them is just like choosing between lion cub and zebra foal! Both are definitely my little brothers and dear to me. They need their big sis to protect them and help them survive, without me, they would be starving to death!

How did you become the leader of the two? Was it because you were smarter?

Yes, I was indeed brighter and stronger then those males. I love em to death, but it's just in hyena packs, the female is the strong leader and the males are the weaker ones. I love em anyway though.

Why did you become friends with Scar?

Was he tasty?

Scar really gave us hyenas hope. My pack was tired of being pushed around by lions and so was I. But I was young then. We just couldn't accept our places as we were. Scar also wanted to be king badly. But we were blind. It's a big deal when someone is accepted into our pack, especially in the case with Scar. He was the only lion we liked and because he betrayed us, we hyenas came back at him full force.

Scar, tasty? Well...he tasted just like how you humans would call a BBQ. Except, no BBQ sauce.

Why didn't you and the other hyenas make an apperance in TLK2SP?

Me and my pack really were on the run. Between Simba's pride chasing us away and the lions that followed Scar chasing us away, we really didn't know where to go. But we managed to safely get into a small part of the savvanah were the lions wouldn't bother us. There will always be hostility between the lions and the hyenas, as far as I'm concerned.
