Vulture Police

The Vulture Police are a pair of male vultures.
==Biography==
===Early life===
The Vulture Police became enforcers of law and order in the jungle.
===Timon's trial===
After Timon scratched his back with a Forbidden Stick, the Vulture Police caught him and took him to a rhinoceros judge known as the Wonderful Rhino of Laws. During his trial, Timon argued that a law against touching a stick was a mockery of justice, then broke the Forbidden Stick.
In order to test if Timon was guilty or innocent, the Wonderful Rhino of Laws gave him a series of tests, including a snake pit of virtue, a walk on hot coals, a cave of pain, and a writing test. At last, Timon admitted that he had scratched his back with a Forbidden Stick.
The Wonderful Rhino of Laws and the Vulture Police showed Timon the punishments that might be enacted against him should he ever break the law again. After being released, Timon found a snail to eat but had trouble breaking its shell, so he used a Forbidden Rock to get it open. This landed him in a guillotine.
===Arrest of Thief===
When a raccoon criminal named Thief stole Timon and Pumbaa's suitcase full of valuables, they appealed to the Vulture Police for help. The Vulture Police proceeded to draw pictures in order to be sure of what the criminal looked like.
After the Vulture Police put up wanted posters of Thief, they found him, arrested him, and put him in a criminal line-up. Thief introduced himself and asserted that he had not stolen Timon and Pumbaa's suitcase; rather, he had found it. Thief added that he could not be guilty when no one had actually seen him steal the suitcase. To Timon and Pumbaa's shock, the Vulture Police removed Thief's handcuffs and let him go scot-free.
Later, Timon and Pumbaa discovered that, while Thief had not stolen the suitcase itself, he had stolen the valuables inside and replaced them with bricks. Outraged, Timon decided to get even with Thief. He made several attempts to get revenge on the criminal, but each ended in failure.
For his third attempt to get revenge, Timon made Pumbaa throw Thief's trashcan off a cliff, but the duo ended up falling as well. Timon and Pumbaa soon found their valuables, and Thief tried to escape them. However, he ran straight into the Vulture Police, who arrested him for having stolen Timon and Pumbaa's suitcase full of valuables.
===Story of Goldi-meerkat-locks===
The Vulture Police appeared in a bedtime story about Goldi-meerkat-locks and the three warthogs. In the story, they arrested Goldi-meerkat-locks for breaking into the three warthogs' house.
===Toucan Dan's escape===
When Timon had trouble breaking a snail's shell, Pumbaa suggested that he use Toucan Dan. Timon approached the toucan, and Pumbaa told his friend that, according to the signs, Toucan Dan was a dangerously clever criminal mastermind who could make anyone believe anything he said. Timon removed the signs so he could use Toucan Dan to crack the snail's shell open. However, Toucan Dan tricked Timon into freeing him from his cage.
Following Toucan Dan's escape, the Vulture Police showed up and noticed that the signs were gone. They then tasked Timon and Pumbaa with capturing Toucan Dan and putting him back in his cage.
After Timon and Pumbaa captured Toucan Dan, the toucan repeatedly tricked Timon into freeing him from his cage. Eventually, Pumbaa had enough, and Timon suggested that he impersonate the toucan. The Vulture Police approached and saw Timon disguised as Toucan Dan. Fooled by the disguise, they freed "Toucan Dan" from his cage and prepared to feed him to lions, which prompted Timon to confess that he was not, in fact, Toucan Dan. However, the police did not believe him.
Just then, Toucan Dan showed up, impersonating Timon. The Vulture Police did not know what to do, so Pumbaa had to determine which of the two was the real Timon. When Pumbaa was unable to do so, the Vulture Police put Timon and Toucan Dan in guillotines to see which one could crack open a snail's shell with their beak. This ultimately proved Toucan Dan's true identity.
===Mob at the Hakuna Matata Megamall===
When the Hakuna Matata Megamall got destroyed due to a gas leak, an angry mob surrounded Timon and Pumbaa. The Vulture Police appeared and told Timon and Pumbaa that they would have to arrest them for having caused trouble. Timon and Pumbaa tried to clear their names to the mob, but the police did not think that their explanation was good enough and suggested that they have someone vouch for them.
===Timon and Pumbaa's prison escape===
When Toucan Dan framed Timon and Pumbaa for the theft of a train car full of beak polish, the Vulture Police threw the duo in jail. Timon tried to convince the police that he had not stolen anything, but they did not believe him.
Eventually, Timon and Pumbaa managed to break out of prison so they could catch Toucan Dan and clear their names. They traveled to Toucan Dan's place and tried to get him to confess that he had stolen the train car full of beak polish, but the Vulture Police showed up and prepared to arrest them. However, when the Vulture Police found out that Toucan Dan had stolen the train car full of beak polish, they arrested him instead. Though Timon and Pumbaa's names had been officially cleared, the police still threw them in jail because they had escaped without permission.
==Physical appearances==
The Vulture Police are moderately sized vultures. They have dark blue feathers, with pale blue underbellies, pink necks, red beaks, and black eyes. They each wear a police hat.
==Personalities and traits==
The Vulture Police are strong believers in due process and justice. Though they are willing to help victims of a crime, they will not make arrests unless the perpetrator is proven guilty, as seen when they let Thief go since no one had actually witnessed his crime. They are very strict followers of the law, to the point that they jailed Timon and Pumbaa for escaping jail even though they had been wrongfully imprisoned to begin with.
