![]() This part of the graveyard has a greenish tint to it and is littered with geysers. Later, the hyenas are seen in a different part of the graveyard. He then admits about being scared himself because he almost lost his son, and he and Simba eventually reconcile. As Simba tells his father that he was attempting to show bravery, Mufasa reminds him that being brave does not mean that one should go looking for trouble. Mufasa angrily scolds his son for deliberately disobeying him, and expresses disappointment in Simba for getting himself nearly killed and putting Nala in great danger. After the hyenas run away in fear, Mufasa orders Zazu to take Nala home. But just as the hyenas are about to swoop in for the kill, Mufasa rescues them. They are later cornered against a giant rock wall. Simba and Nala are seen riding down an elephant spine and climbing up a massive hill of bones. After catching back up with the cubs, the hyenas resume the chase. They take him to one of the geysers (which they call the "Birdie Boiler") and explode him out of the graveyard. The cubs try to escape and the hyenas chase them through the graveyard, managing to catch up to Zazu. Then, however, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, the three hyenas Scar commissioned to kill Simba once he entered the graveyard, appear, slinking towards the two cubs and the hornbill, making no secret about their intention to devour them. Simba airily brushes him off, responding that he laughs at danger. A very nervous Zazu catches up to them and urgently tells them they all have to leave immediately, as they are in very serious danger. Nala comments to Simba about the trouble they could get into by coming to the graveyard, but Simba is unconcerned. Looking around amidst the elephant bones, they approach an elephant skull. ![]() However they do not notice how close they have come to the graveyard and, while playing, both of them fall down a slope, into the area. In their glee, they playfully tackle each other. The cubs, however, manage to lose the hornbill. Simba's mother, Queen Sarabi, insists that Zazu chaperone them. The two cubs trick their mothers into letting them leave Pride Rock, ostensibly to go and see something interesting by the watering hole. He invites his friend, a female cub named Nala, along. Impressed, Simba is determined to go there, despite his father's instruction. After having arranged with a trio of hyenas, who inhabit the graveyard, to kill Simba once he induces him to go there, he plays upon Simba's curiosity about the "shadowy place" and desire to prove his bravery by "accidentally" revealing that it is an Elephant Graveyard. Simba's uncle Scar, however, is actively planning the cub's death. However, when Simba asks about a "shadowy place" he sees in the distance, Mufasa gravely responds that it is beyond their borders and that he is never to go there. The Elephant Graveyard is first seen in The Lion King. One morning, Mufasa takes Simba to the top of Pride Rock and, in the expanding light of the sun, shows the young cub the vast expanse of the Pride Lands. Ha, ha, ha, ha! -Zazu convincing Simba to leave the graveyard Simba: Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side. And right now we are all in very real danger. Zazu: The only checking out you'll be doing is the checking out of here! We're way beyond the boundary of the Pride Lands. This is where the song " Be Prepared" is performed. The graveyard has two "districts": the graveyard district where most of the bones of dead elephants lie with only a few boilers, which is where Simba and Nala visit and the geyser district, which has geysers, boilers, and suffers from earth tremors and explosions of lava. It has been speculated that part of the reason the elephant graveyard is such a terrible place is because the hyenas live there, especially considering what they did to the Pride Lands during their residence there. The graveyard is visible from Pride Rock as a shadowy area. It is also known for the numerous geysers that were located there. The graveyard is named after the various elephant skeletons that litter the area. The area is geothermally active, containing many natural steam vents. Bones of dead elephants litter the landscape. It is a dry, barren, rocky wasteland, perpetually covered in fog that casts a shadow over the area even in the daytime. The Elephant Graveyard is located beyond a rise that marks the northern border of the Pride Lands.
