The plot of “The Lion King” unfolds from a fateful event. This is because the scene in which Scar lures his brother Mufasa and nephew Simba into an ambush in an attempt to become the sole heir to the throne, becomes the turning point of the story, as well as being one of the saddest scenes. of cinema, since it is on this occasion that Simba’s father ends up passing away.

In this way, fans of the production began to theorize how hyenas could survive in that place, since there were no life forms other than theirs there. In this reflection, one of the darkest ideas related to history emerged: they fed on animals of their own species!
