We all know that Zira was banned from the pride lands but we never knew why. Well she supported scar but that wasn’t enough to get her banned. At the presentation of Kopa Zira got mad at Simba and hated Kopa so she decided to get rid of him. A few months after Kopa was born Kiara was born. With Kiara Nala and Simba had their hands full. They had hardly enough time to take care of Kopa. Zira decided it was time to attack and banish Kopa. She told a few lionesses about it. Zira didn’t nessaciarly wanted to kill Kopa but she wanted to get rid of him. While Simba and Nala were real busy with Kiara and Kopa was wondering around Zira got a lioness to take Kopa far away. That night Simba noticed Kopa was gone because he didn’t come in for dinner. Simba and Nala become worried. By the time they started searching for him Kopa was far far away. The lioness that took Kopa dropped him off in another pride. The pride loved Kopa. Kopa was frightened and didn’t know what would become of him.

Later the lioness decided to turn back to the pridelands after she was assured Kopa was safe. Simba saw her while he was searching for Kopa. “Come here you. Where's Kopa?” Simba demanded. The lioness said “Ummmm….I don’t know.” She tried to act as convincing as possible. Simba didn’t believe her but he couldn’t make her tell the truth even if he was the king. Aftter hours and hours of searching Simba finally decided that Kopa must be dead. Simba was in grief. He overheard about half the pride talking about Zira’s plot and how she was going to kill Kopa so Simba banished those lionesses as well as Kovu, Vitani, and Nuka because they were Zira’s cubs. Simba was very worried that Zira had killed Kopa so Kovu could be king because he was next in line for the thrown after Kiara because scar had picked him. Simba feared that Zira was going to get Kiara next.

The presentation of Kiara come. Simba decided he would not let anything happen to her like Kopa. Simba become the most overprotective dad. Meanwhile Kopa adjusted to the new pride life although he missed his family a lot. The pride would not let he leave the pride so he was stuck living there. Clearly you can see how Zira why Zira and half the pride was exiled.
