Together, we are strong!Rhino to their friends
Rhino is a rhinoceros.
Rhino participated in several competitions with their friends, during which the young animals learned to work together. In the middle of the final competition, Rhino and Zebra got cornered on the edge of a gorge by hyenas but were rescued by Simba and Crocodile.
Later, Rhino and Simba played a prank on Zebra by pretending that Simba could predict the future. Simba predicted that a rock would fall, after which Rhino pushed a rock down a hill. However, the plan went wrong, for the rock knocked Simba into a ravine. Before long, several hyenas surrounded Simba, and Rafiki had to collaborate with his friends to save the cub.
Biography
Competitions with Simba
Simba frequently challenged his friends to contests that he knew he would win. At one point, he challenged Rhino to a jumping contest, but the rhinoceros failed miserably. After Simba gave Crocodile and Zebra similar treatments, the three defeated young animals reconvened and decided to challenge Simba to competitions of their own making. Zebra was hesitant to trust Crocodile, but Rhino assured him that Crocodile would not bite.
Rhino, Crocodile, and Zebra presented their idea to Simba, who was surprised that they wanted to do more competitions. Crocodile told Simba that they would participate so long as they could make the rules. Simba suspected a trick but agreed to their demands.
Shortly afterward, Simba, Crocodile, and Zebra competed against Rhino in a tree trunk-rolling contest. At first, Rhino was winning, but after Simba and his teammates worked together to push their log, they caught up to Rhino and beat them at their own game.
Later, the four friends had a swimming contest, during which Crocodile was forced to lose in order to save Zebra from some hungry crocodiles. Upon reaching the shore, Crocodile was irritated that he had lost the race, but Rhino assured him that they had all known that he was the fastest swimmer.
The next competition was a race. After Simba's stamina ran out, Rhino and Zebra streaked ahead of him. However, when Simba and Crocodile caught up to Rhino and Zebra, they saw that the two friends had been cornered on the edge of a gorge by three hyenas. Simba proclaimed to Crocodile that they must save their friends, and Crocodile shakily agreed. The friends attacked, but Crocodile accidentally slipped and started a rockslide. The hyenas ran away in fear, and Simba and Crocodile reunited with their friends.
Rhino and Zebra started to thank Simba for having saved their lives, but the young cub reminded them that they never would have been rescued without Crocodile's landslide. The four friends then ran off together and happily proclaimed that they could do anything together.[1]
Prank on Zebra
Rhino proclaimed to Simba that Rafiki knew how to cast spells. Simba scoffed and clarified that Rafiki could see the future. He then told Zebra that Rafiki had shared some of his foresight with him, so he could predict the future as well. Though Zebra believed the tale, Rhino doubted Simba's story, and Simba confided in them that he wanted to play a practical joke on the very gullible Zebra.
Together, Rhino and Simba staged a rockslide, during which Simba pretended to have known that a rock was going to fall before Rhino pushed it. However, the plan went wrong, as the rock hit Simba and knocked him into a ravine.
At the bottom of the ravine, Simba was cornered by hyenas. Just then, Rafiki arrived and, with the help of his mandrill friends, helped Simba to safety. Rhino and Zebra demanded an explanation from Rafiki, who replied mystically that not everything one saw was real.[2]
