Afua

Afua thinks Beba is the fastest runner and the best climber and the highest jumper around.
Kopa[src]

Beba is a male cheetah.

When a lion cub named Afua admired Beba for his great physical abilities, he inadvertently neglected his best friend Kopa, who grew jealous of Beba. Eventually, with the help of Timon and Pumbaa, Kopa accepted that Afua's hurtful comments might have been unintentional, and so he left to reconcile with his friend.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Beba lived in the Pride Lands. He befriended a lion cub named Afua, who admired him for his incredible agility and running abilities. This caused Afua's best friend Kopa to feel jealous and neglected.[1]

Friendship with Afua[]

And besides, what does it matter if Beba is good at some things? You're good at some other things that Beba isn't good at, I bet.
Pumbaa to Kopa[src]

Afua's fast-growing friendship with Beba caused Kopa to go to Timon and Pumbaa for advice. He told his friends that Afua had been spending more and more time with Beba and had started comparing Beba to Kopa. In order to sort out the problem, Timon and Pumbaa told Kopa a story about their time in the jungle with Simba. After the story, Kopa scampered off to make amends with Afua.[1]

Personality and traits[]

I think Beba is even stupider than Afua.
―Kopa[src]

According to Kopa, Beba has amazing athletic abilities and tends to show off.[1]
