Yes, --- In The Lion World Simba Is A Babe!... ;)

Simba's appearance has also generated online debates discussing whether it is appropriate for fans to consider the character attractive, because he is a cartoon lion. Several publications, such as Refinery 29, HuffPost, Seventeen, The Edge, YourTango, The Daily Edge, Pride, and Thought Catalog, included Simba in listicles about their most memorable "cartoon crushes", while Elle ranked him the fourth most attractive Disney prince. Polygon ranked Simba the sixth "hottest animated animal character", and Mashable ranked him eighth. Refinery29's Anne Cohen lamented that the 2019 remake lacks the "Hot Simba Energy" of the original film. Kayla Cobb of Decider theorized that Disney wanted audiences to know that "in the lion world, Simba is a babe" by drawing him with traditionally attractive and masculine features. Louis Costello, a writer for Pedestrian, said "yes it’s okay to be attracted to adult Simba and yes you’re not the only one". In 2019, the pop culture website Punkee published an article asking readers "Why Are We All So Thirsty For Simba?", which author Jenna Guillaume attributed to the character's long mane, smile, "flirty eyebrow raise", and Broderick's voice. Senior lecturer Dr. Lauren Rosewarne theorized that Simba's story and character development throughout The Lion King offers several opportunities for viewers to find him attractive, progressing from wounded, ostracized cub to “potentially offers a bad boy, and then the hero appeal that some audiences will be drawn to". --- Wikpedia.

Why Do Lions Roar?...

^^^ Such a handsome creature!!! Lions roar to proclaim their territory and to assert dominance. This vocalization is particularly important for male lions, who use it to signal their presence and deter rival males from encroaching on their domain. By doing so, they help maintain the pride’s territory and safety. Their distinctive roar is generally delivered in the evening before a night’s hunting and again before getting up at dawn. Roaring also plays a crucial role in social bonding and coordination within the pride, which typically consists of several generations of lionesses, a few breeding males, and their cubs. The roar helps keep pride members connected, especially when they are scattered across their territory. It allows them to locate each other and regroup, which is essential for hunting and sharing meals. This vocalization strengthens the social bonds among pride members and ensures their collective survival. ---Encycloprdia Britannica.

"Tyger, Tyger"...

"Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp! When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?" --- William Blake.
Over the past few months, residents in Texas have claimed they've spotted a rare cat, the jaguarundi. However, the elusive feline hasn't had a confirmed sighting in decades. Jaguarundis, an animal that looks so much like a house cat, are believed to be extirpated by both the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). The last confirmed sighting of the species in Texas was in Brownsville in 1986, according to the TPWD. --- Microsoft News.

The Lion...

"From the lion, the lion... Run away in haste... He has a large head... And, a very small waist... His jaws are stark... His claws are grim... And, wise little children... Will not play with him!"
***Have you ever heard a lion roar in real life?... I have. It was at the Cleveland Zoo. I wasn't near the lion enclousre. I was far away, but his roar carried, and people all over the zoo came to where he was to see him. He was standing on his hill. His sides were moving in and out with his effort, and THAT ROAR, --- INDESCRIBIBLE. To hear that is to know another reason WHY the lion is called the King Of Beasts. That lion, a male in his vigorous prime, probably weighted 400 pounds. "Here comes a lion, Father!"... The phrase "ah mienya" is part of the iconic opening chant of "Circle of Life" from Disney's "The Lion King". The lyrics, sung in Zulu, express themes of identity, belonging, and resilience. The chant translates to "Here comes a lion, Father!," symbolizing strength and the call of the lion, reflecting the Pride Lands' soul and the journey of Simba's character. The song serves as a powerful narrative that resonates with audiences worldwide, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life and the importance of heritage and responsibility. >>> Of course, the lioness does most of the hunting, while her lord and master protects the pride and sires cubs. Ah, --- when you look that good, maybe, just laying around being magnificent and threatening-looking IS ENOUGH! Lol.
***(Elton John wrote the melody of "the Circle Of Life" in 15 minutes!) ^^^ Anita Darian provided the extremely high notes in this song. ^^^ Simba & Scar fight. Simba is noble and kind, --- bigger, younger, braver. ***What could be a worse crime than killing your brother?!... He deserved his fate, --- torn apart by his hyena henchmen. ^^^ Simba takes his rightful place as king.
