At the risk of beating a dead horse, but I have to concur that that's a miscolored Scar and not King Joe. Unlike King Joe, his claws are out, he does have tufts of fur on his elbows, and he's got a true "Outlander" nose (King Joe's seems to be a combination Pridelander/Outlander one).
Speaking of Joe's looks, though, just for fun I constructed a backstory where he is Zira's father (and got driven out of his pride by a younger male after Zira was born). This is mostly because his anatomy is very similar to Nuka's. Nuka's build is a lot more stylized and cartoony than Scar's build, and he and Joe look surprisingly similar in that respect. They also both have small, scruffy manes and "crimped" whiskers. Even Joe's facial features look like Nuka's, and he has freckles on his cheeks like Vitani.
