Movable Tail
The tail is also articulated, adding an extra touch of realism and allowing for adjustment of the lion cub's complete pose.

🍃 Savannah Accessories
The set includes complementary elements that enrich the play experience:
Buildable Leaf
A small model of a leaf that serves as a base or decorative element of the African savanna.
4 "Bugs" as "Food"
True to the iconic scene in the movie where Timon and Pumbaa teach Simba about their insect diet ("Hakuna Matata"), the set includes 4 small buildable "bugs" that serve as "food" for the lion cub.
