Simba and Pumbaa

Pumbaa is a Warthog who grew up very lonely. He was always neglected because of his smell and gas problem. Later on in life he found a meerkat named Timon. They quickly became best friends. For a long time the friends searched for a home, upon finding a beautiful haven, which they loved, they decided to settle down. Eventually they find young Simba after he runs away, and they raise him. Pumbaa is very caring and is the protector of Timon.

Pumbaa Bowing to Simba

After the success of The Lion King, Timon and Pumbaa were given their own show, which ran for 86 episodes between September 1995 and November 1998, and occasionally had cameos of other Lion King characters.
