Zebra (comics)

Zebra is a male zebra.
Zebra often played with Simba, who challenged him, Crocodile, and Rhino to unfair competitions. Because of this, the three invited Simba to compete with them on their own terms. Throughout the contests, the friends had to work together in order to win. During the final contest, a race to the border of the Pride Lands, Rhino and Zebra streaked ahead, only to be cornered by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. Just in time, Crocodile and Simba rushed to the rescue, inadvertently starting a rockslide that scared off the hyenas and saved their friends' lives.
Later, Simba and Rhino attempted to trick Zebra into thinking that Simba could predict the future. However, when the plan went wrong, and Simba fell into a ravine, Rafiki had to save the cub alongside his baboon friends.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Zebra lived in the Pride Lands. At some point in his life, he befriended Crocodile, Rhino, and Simba.
===Competitions with Simba===
Simba challenged Zebra, Crocodile, and Rhino to contests that he knew he would win. He challenged Zebra to a climbing contest and swiftly won. Tired of the cub's schemes, Zebra, Crocodile, and Rhino schemed to make their own competitions. Though Zebra was initially hesitant to trust a predator, Rhino assured him that Crocodile would not bite.
After Simba agreed to more contests, Rhino set up a tree trunk rolling contest. As the competition began, Simba protested that Rhino was the only one strong enough to roll the trunks. Rhino merely agreed, then laughed. As the young rhinoceros rolled away, Simba suddenly got an idea. Together, he, Zebra, and Crocodile rolled their trunk ahead of Rhino, who protested that he was supposed to be the strongest. Simba explained that they had just wanted to see if they could win by working together.
Later, the animals had a swimming competition. As the race got underway, Simba commented that Crocodile was definitely the fastest. In the midst of the race, Zebra spotted two crocodiles slithering into the river in search of prey. He cried out to Simba for help, and the cub warned Crocodile that his buddies were after Zebra. Crocodile told the strangers to leave Zebra alone, and the two crocodiles asked why he was sticking up for a zebra. Crocodile explained that he had invited Zebra to his father's last birthday celebration, which gave Zebra time to swim away. As the friends made it to shore, Crocodile expressed anger at Zebra for causing him to lose the race, but Rhino reminded him that he had just saved Zebra's life.
The next competition was a race to the border of the Pride Lands. As the animals ran, Simba raced ahead of the others. Rhino asked Zebra why he had suggested a race, and Zebra told him to wait. A few moments later, he passed Simba, who did not have good stamina. Rhino passed Simba next and reminded the cub that Crocodile was catching up. However, as Rhino and Zebra shot ahead of Simba and Crocodile, they got cornered by hyenas at the edge of a gorge.
Before the hyenas could hurt Zebra and Rhino, Crocodile and Simba rushed down the gorge, and Crocodile accidentally started a rockslide. As Simba jumped down the cliff, roaring, the hyenas ran away in fear that his pride was coming.
After the rescue, the young animals thanked Simba for having saved their lives, but Simba reminded them that it never would have worked without Crocodile's landslide. Crocodile added that it had been good teamwork. As the animals walked away, Rhino commented that they were strong together, to which Crocodile added that each one of them was good at something. Despite this, Simba asked if he could still win the next race, and Zebra answered that he could win if he did not brag.
===Simba and Rhino's practical joke===
One day, Rhino proclaimed to Simba that Rafiki knew how to cast spells. Simba scoffed at this and corrected Rhino, claiming that Rafiki could see the future. He then told Zebra that Rafiki had shared some of his foresight with him, so he could predict the future as well.
Though Zebra believed the tale, Rhino doubted Simba's story. Simba pointed out that he wanted to play a practical joke on the very gullible Zebra. Together, Simba and Rhino staged a rockslide, during which Simba pretended to have known that a rock was going to fall before Rhino pushed it. However, the plan went wrong, and Simba fell into a ravine.
At the bottom of the ravine, Simba got cornered by hyenas. Just then, Rafiki arrived, and with the help of his baboon friends, he helped Simba to safety. Rhino and Zebra demanded an explanation from Rafiki, who replied mystically that not everything one saw was real.
==Physical appearance==
Zebra is slender and long-legged. He has a black and white coat, with black-rimmed ears, a black muzzle, and black eyes.
==Personality and traits==
Zebra is easygoing and much less competitive than Simba. He is a bit less trusting than his friends, as he had to be convinced to play games with Crocodile. Zebra is also quite gullible, which enabled Simba and Rhino to play tricks on him.
