Actual animal behavior shouldn't be applied to Disney, and especially not to the Lion King. I mean, none of the animals act in a realistic fashion, which is pretty obvious from the opening scene when all of the animals that are prey to lions bow to Simba and Mufasa. And it's implied that Simba would learn from Mufasa until Mufasa died and Simba took over... when in real life, of course, Simba would either kill or drive off Mufasa or Mufasa would kick him out to go find his own pride.

Also, you know, hyenas obeying evil lions (HAHA what), meerkats and warthogs being friends and raising a lion cub... come on, now.

I do think it's interesting for fandom exploration, but you definitely can't really claim it's canon for the movie itself.

Although I did just rewatch the film the other night and found it interesting that Nala was referred to by Zazu as Simba's "betrothed". What would be the rules for getting betrothed in Lion King-world, aside from your parents apparently make the decision for you when you're very young? I think what other people commented about Nala looking like she comes from another pride might have some merit, and perhaps the tradition includes choosing a young female cub (and her mother) from another pride to expand theirs under the inevitable reign of the king's son. Or something. Not sure how it would happen with a female cub, except that with Kiara apparently what happened is she just brought Kovu into Simba's pride to be his son-in-law (which means the girl cubs don't go through the betrothal tradition? Only the boys? ...Why am I thinking so hard about this.) But then again, that was a case of the two prides entirely merging (and also realistically inaccurate as no way would Simba allow another adult male into HIS pride, were this real life).

Someone should write a paper on this xD

Well, Simba did say that when he became king betrothal would be the first thing to go...
