A strange adult lion is seen in the Pride Lands. The pride is suspicious, but Nala wants to find this lion. She does, and the lion saves her from a hyena. Nala finds out that the lion's name is Ni. She also finds out that he had to leave his pride, as young male lions are driven from their prides when they can fend for themselves. Nala's mother Sarafina mates with Ni then Ni leaves. A few months later Mheetu, Ni's son and Nala's brother is born. There you have it. Nala's father is Ni!

I think I recognize the name Ni from TLK:Six new adventures.

I know thats where its from. Its from the book like you said.

Uh...Ni wasn't and isn't Nala's father O_o I believe at one point she even said that if he cleaned himself up a bit, he'd be pretty cute. I dont think daughters say that about fathers.

And if that was the case, then that would be disturbing.

yeah, I have to agrre. That'd be WAAAAAAAYY too creepy for a Lion King story.
