The Lion King

Trivia

• Uru goes searching for water just like Mohatu did. This could mean she knows the land better because she is native to it. Like many of the royals before and after her, she saves the Pride Lands.

• Although some fans have depicted Uru as being white since her name means "diamonds," the word "uru" actually means the suit of diamonds (as in playing cards). The Swahili word for diamonds (the gemstone) is "almasi" (or "almazi").^[3]
