    Like almost everyone ever, THE LION KING is one of my favorite Disney movies. But when I was watching it the other day, I noticed a detail that seems like it would throw a wrench in the whole Circle of Life tale as we know it: Simba subsists (for what must be YEARS) off of only bugs! Can lions truly survive on a diet of just insects? Well hakuna matata, my friends, because I have found the answer!

    Scar's actual name is actually Taka, translated to 'garbage', so honestly I can't blame him for wanting to kill his family.

    In addition to his bug diet:
    Simba doesn't have to just eat ONE type of bug/insect. A few Mopane worms, a tetmit mound or two, a Giant Worm if he finds one, maybe some random beetles.

    • @TheSoullessImmortal
      @TheSoullessImmortal Před 7 měsíci +5

      You can take the giant worm out, since they are extremely rare. Simba would hardly have a chance of finding at least one throughout his whole life and that’s the best case scenario. Just a few beetles, some grubs, a termite mound or two, and perhaps some smaller worms would do perfectly fine.

  • @Dnightshade100
    @Dnightshade100 Před 2 lety +669

    Actually, if you rewatch the lion king, you’ll notice that simba defeating scar is 100% accurate. Even though simba didn’t have the tooth strength to beat scar in a battle of fangs. He didn’t have to bite scar to defeat him.
    Simba was losing miserably against scar. But, suddenly turned the tables by just simply kick flipping scar off the ledge. He beat scar with shear dumb luck and a lucky kick. No fangs needed at all.

    • @xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx
      @xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx Před rokem +45

      As you can see, the reason how Simba defeated Scar and pushed him off the ledge is because he is physically-strong because of his daily routine of eating bugs for breakfast.
      Scar hasn't been paying attention to his health ever since he conquered the Pride Rock with his hyenas so the only redeeming trait of him is the fact that he possesses some sharper fangs due to age.

    Not so fun fact: in the lion guard there is a song on how scar got his scar basically another lion outside of the pride promised him power and respect if he worked with him since he was the leader of the lion guard at the time so the strange lion brought him to the volcano where a snake who was working with the stranger bit scars eye and the strange lion promised to heal the venom if scar did what he asked of course scar used the roar to destroy The Lion and the snake he thought doing this would make everyone give him respect but his brother just made it a joke and so scar got mad

    • @finlayarts2686
      @finlayarts2686 Před rokem +12

      Not to mention the joke eventually replaced his real name. Even once he became king no one called him by his original name. And then there's also the fact that he went slowly insane from the venom, so no one bothered to heal him and everyone continually blamed him for the loss of the roar. Oddly enough though Disney still didn't reveal his name prior to the incident but if it really was "Taka", which is Swahili for "trash" btw, then "Scar" would have been a huge step up.

    It was actually Scar who insisted that Moufasa should call him that, after a blunder where he lost his temper and he got seriously iinjured.He adopted the nickname Scar in order to remind himself to never make that mistake again. Though, considering his original name was "Taka" (trash), he probably considered​ this an improvement.

      @@InkWaxstudios100 Yes in The Lion Guard Mufasa was the one who called Scar “Scar”. And Scar’s real name is “Taka” with means “Trash” is Swahili. His parents their second son (Scar) literal Trash and their First Son a cool name “Mufasa”.
      So Scar’s Parents gave him a bad name. And then his brother gave him a nickname that annoyed him.
      We don’t know if Scar liked the name “Taka” but let’s be honest, Who would like a name that means Trash!?
      I don’t think Scar actually hated his brother before Mufasa nicknamed him Scar. They might have been good brothers actually. Scar might have wanted to amaze his brother by killing the evil lion and his snake and saving them. But instead when Mufasa just laughed and nicknamed him Scar. That’s when Scar became Scar and Hated his brother.
      So this whole thing could’ve been avoided if Scar and Mufasa’s Parents just gave Scar a cool name and if Mufasa didn’t nickname him Scar
      But what’s the fun in that?

    I’ve been watching sooo many of matpats older videos. Something I have to say about this one, simba wasn’t just eating a single type of bug. He was eating any bug that Timon and pumba found for him, he wasn’t picky about the type of bug he was eating so quantity was never actually an issue. Also about the tooth thing, he could’ve chewed on sticks or something to keep his teeth strong. Kind of like dogs do.

      He could. Also termite mounds are literal fortresses. Very few animals, like aardvarks, are actually adapted to breaking into those rock-hard mounds. The rest of the termite eaters usually follow them around or eat the ones on the ground. If Simba has any chance of breaking into those mounds his teeth and claws would have to be strong.
