Took some time to find out if the photo is authentic. It’s a real photo by Yann Arthus-Bertrand taken in Kenya, 1983. Perhaps the photo inspired the famous scene in the Lion King.

This didn’t go too well https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming"> correction II: the image isn’t from the Lion King movie. It’s fan art: https://www.deviantart.com/isuru077/art/Daddy-s-Alarm-Clock-292114078">https://www.deviantart.com/isuru077/... H/t @Speckbrummsel
I was sure it was a still image from the Lion King movie. Memory does funny things sometimes. Perhaps I should rewatch the original movie after all these years.
