He also nearly admits the ferocious halfblind African leopard Phango Liam Neeson who warns Mkhulu Ben Vereen that he and his zebra herd cant stay in their enclosure forever. Lungisa tells the story of how a white horse got its stripes by swimming in a magic river and other horses wanted to have stripes like him, making the zebra we know today.

Then, Khumba leaves the confines of his home knowing that he cannot survive in the herd where is viewed as only halfazebra even to his father. ........
