So I saw some mebers doing images of Vuture shock lions, Mega, Leo, Babu, Boga and Sabini. I was going to post a profile of the other lions, but there's always been confusion between them.

The full story can be read here - http://snowlands.ru/en/library/cat/the- ... iew/58.htm

The part with pride members is on those pages:

An illustration shows the lions: Leo, Mega, Sabini, Babu and Boga. It pictures two fully gown males, one female and two cubs (most likely one male and one female because only males have whiskers)

Leo reappears later in the rescue party:

And the picture shows the brighter lion rom previous illustration:

Known decriprions:
Mega - "an old lion with a full mane"
Leo - Fully grown male, know because he is refered as male and re-appears later with an illustration.
Babu - probably a male, since his name means "Grandfather". Could be the male cub picured on the illustration.
Sabini is often portrayed as the female while Boga is portrayed as the other cub, but there are no descriptions or hints about their gender, age or appearance.


--------------
My theory:

* The lion under the page of Mega on TLKS is Leo. for the reasons stated above.
*Sabini is indeed the female picured. She tends to interrupt Leo a lot and has more complex and "mature" lines that a cub would say.
*Babu is male, the name is obvious. Boga is female. All males in Lion King have whiskers and there is only one cub with whiskers pictured (which is Babu).



I need members opinion about this. Would you like character pages for those lions and if so, then who do you think is who? Should Mega's page be changed to Leo?

I personally don't believe the illustrations are reliable.They totally changed Ahadi's design.The name meanings are not very reliable, too.According to google translate, Boga means squash, pumpikn and Sabini is seventy.Not making any sense.
I believe Mega is the same Mega on the sources.He is described as an old lion, and the lion beneath the tree doesn't look old at all.And the illustration on the rescue scene is, as I said, totally wrong (Ahadi again!).I blame the illustrator for all this trouble.
And I would be nice to see their profiles, if we figure out who is who.I believe Leo is the younger lion beneath the tree,Babu is the male cub, Boga is the girl cub, Sabini is the female and Mega is the same Mega like in his profile on the source.

Nevermind, I decided they won't be getting any official pages (at least from me) since there's too much confusion and no real proof of which lion is who. I guess you can go ahead and make your own fan version of them.

"But Troll I made Babu/Boga/Sabini page and it got deactivated. Baww."
Probably because they were labeled as "official" in the name and had very little description like "He is the lion that appeared in SNA". If you want to post them a page - make them a legit fancharacter with proper pics and bio.


*flies away*

I know you've said you've changed your mind but I wanted to point something out real quick; in my opinion, Leo is the big male lion only because he is the one speaking to Kopa the most and the one closest to him in the picture.
According to The Lion King Wikia Leo is the bigger lion http://lionking.wikia.com/wiki/Leo and Mega is the younger one http://lionking.wikia.com/wiki/Mega

It's not wrong to say though that the illustrations aren't much to go by, but I'd say mostly because the illustrate didn't want to or couldn't at the time think of any more character designs besides changing the colour as they all represent Mufasa, Simba and Nala (the latter two at cub and adult stages)
