Simba got carried away from his pride and dropped into a pond by an enormous bird of prey. There, he was discovered by Kwashi the baboon and Mabu the mongoose, who took him to live with a troop of baboons. Simba did his best to live as a baboon, to no avail, so Kwashi and Mabu attempted to teach him how to be a lion instead. This led to another series of misadventures. Eventually, Ndogo the jackal attacked Simba but was defeated. Afterward, Simba was reunited with his pride.
