==Biography==
===Early life===
Longlegs lived within or close by the jungle. At some point in his life, he became the leader of a herd of giraffes.
===Encounter with Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa===
When a calf from Longlegs's herd got stuck in mud, Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa resolved to save its life. Longlegs thanked the three for helping and expressed surprise at a lion's involvement. Simba pointed out that it was Timon who was risking his life, and Timon bravely began to inch himself across the bridge toward the calf. Overhead, vultures began to circle, but Timon pushed on, wrapping the vine rope around the little giraffe and letting Longlegs pull the calf to safety.
With the calf safe, Simba scared off the remaining vultures amid cheers from his friends, but as he landed, he severely injured his paw. Timon and Pumbaa watched their friend worriedly and realized that his injury may be more severe than they had thought. Grimly, Longlegs informed Timon and Pumbaa that he knew a cure for Simba's ailment but that it would mean a dangerous journey for them.
Together, Longlegs and Timon sprinted for a cure. Along the way, they encountered a wild lion, who attacked Timon until the predator was beaten back by Longlegs. With the diversion out of the way, the two continued on their journey, and Longlegs instructed Timon to gather a handful of healing leaves for Simba. Timon did as he was told, and the two sprinted back to the side of their injured companion.
Under Longlegs's instruction, Timon wrapped the leaves around Simba's injuries, and the friends spent the night guarding Simba from predators. Come morning, the young lion had healed completely. He thanked Longlegs for his help. The giraffe graciously reminded Simba that he had simply been returning a favor, for friends should stick together.
