Okala

Okala is a male impala. He is the prince of a herd of impalas in the Dusty Plain.
Okala appealed to Simba, the acting king of the Pride Lands, to continue his father Mufasa's peace treaty with the impalas. Simba agreed to the request and, per his uncle Scar's advice, told Okala to stay the night at a pond. However, the pond turned out to be quicksand, and Scar took advantage of the situation to attack Okala. However, Mufasa arrived in time to save the impala prince.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Okala lived in the Dusty Plain, where he served as the prince of his herd.
===Appeal to Simba===
At Pride Rock, Simba as acting king met with his subjects, beginning with Okala. Okala requested that Simba continue Mufasa's long-standing peace treaty with the impalas. Though Scar attempted to intervene, Simba agreed to Okala's request. Okala then asked for a place to stay for the night, and Scar suggested a nearby pond. As Okala left, Simba continued to resolve the various problems that were facing the Pride Landers.
Eventually, Simba became tired, and he and Nala ran off to play. Before long, they began to encounter problems that were a result of Simba's poor decisions as acting king. Simba ordered Nala and Zazu to sort out the situations. Then he heard an elephant mentioning that the pond to which Okala had been sent was full of quicksand. Worried, Simba rushed to the pond, where he found Scar about to eat Okala, who was stuck in the quicksand. Just then, Mufasa arrived, and Scar was forced to help Okala climb out safely.
