Bhima Disampati

Rajah Bhima Disampati is a character featured at the Disney's Animal Kingdom attraction Maharajah Jungle Trek.
==Background==
Bhima Disampati served as the first rajah of the ancient kingdom of Anandapur throughout the sixteenth century. During his life, he was obsessed with hunting throughout the municipality of Anandapur. Throughout 1544, Bhima decreed the forest as a royal preserve only open to the royal family and their invited guests and built a Royal Hunting Lodge in the forest. Enclosing portions of the forest in walls, he would use these spaces to lure and trap the tigers. However, at an unfortunate moment, Bhima was mauled and killed by a Bengal tiger which he intended to hunt. Following his death, Bhima was succeeded by his brother who never cared for hunting but had an appreciate for nature, followed by a new dynasty of rulers coming across Anandapur. Centuries later, a mural of Bhima was decorated around Anandapur to honor his legacy.

A mural depiction of Bhima is decorated on a mural at the tiger exhibit area of Maharajah Jungle Trek. The section of the attraction not only consists of tigers within the exhibit, but also the mural that tells the story of Bhima who was a hunter throughout the ancient kingdom before his death at the claws of a Bengal tiger. The mural depicts Bhima arming himself with a bow and arrow while trying to hunt. Other details seen in this picture are green birds, a blackbuck cowering in a bush, and two cheetahs wearing collars.

*The earring that Bhima wears seen in his mural is shown in the shape of a Hidden Mickey.
**The cheetahs seen in the mural depicting Bhima are most likely based on Asian cheetahs, an endangered species of cheetah.
