It turns out that Nuka hadn't actually seen the hyenas, and Shenzi was able to drag both of them out of sight before Nuka looked their way. He's interrupted then by bossy toddler Vitani, who insists all the racket was caused by non-hyena animals. Because bossy toddlers know everything, right?

This was a tougher page to draw than most because I had to learn how to draw characters I'd never drawn before AND draw them off-model since these are younger versions than we see in the movie. Lots of jumping back and forth between pictures of Vitani and pictures of baby Simba went into drawing this page.

And a fun detail I ended up noticing: on all the movie lion cubs, including Simba and Nala, the lighter colored fur on their bellies goes all the way up to the females' chins but only up to the males' chests. Kion has it all the way up to his chin on the TLG show, but in flashbacks of him as a little kid, it does only go up to his chest. Early onset puberty, I guess.
