Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Lion King
Did You Know?
In The Lion King film, Simba’s best friend is Pumbaa the warthog, who is funny and kind. But in real life, warthogs are much tougher than they look! They live across Africa’s grasslands and use their sharp tusks to defend themselves against predators like lions, leopards and hyenas. Their name comes from the large bumps on their faces, which look like warts.
