A Jungly Comparison Part 2

The main villain of most chapters is Claw, ironically also called Bubu in the manga and original Japanese versions of all previous works beforehand, as well as being called Jamar. However, he’ll change from a snappy and greedy old, half blind Barbary lion to a cruel yet rather unpretentiously well meant dark brown lion of Southeastern Central African stock. He’ll also be renamed as Arron, who has an estranged older brother named Bill and has children with his estranged Isabelline lover Leona, in the form of normal coloured Leroy and his younger sister Sima, also known as Zilba or Belldonna. Leroy in turn has a child with a Melanistic lover named Ennis, in the form of an Erythristic lion named Lyre, Jack’s consort.  

The main mentor is Lower class lion Speckle, also known as Marody (a corruption of Marozi) or Specklerex. He is the spotted Ikimizi son of Andrew and Lucy, and has a younger brother named Rocky. He also has a son with Thera named Samuel, Sima's Reluctant Mate. Sam and Sima in turn have a daughter named Jazz. Speckle's mother Lucy also had a twin brother named Goran, who in turn had a son named Gary with an erythristic lover called Mona. Thera in turn had a mum named Katrina and a dad named Oliver, who also had a son named Clyde. Clyde in turn has a son named Ryan and a daughter named Marjorie, whom Leo would carry off into his own pride. 

Their rival, Cassius the panther, ironically also called Shaka, Toto or Sylvester in cases similar to those of Claw, will remain generally the same, except he’ll change from a plainly villainous lackey to a very snobbish loner. He will be renamed as Marcus, who has two estranged children with a normal coloured mate named Ina, who are full siblings born within a rather large age gap. The son is named Ronald, who was originally annoyingly called Bongo or more ironically Speedy Cheetah and his older sister is named Prancy Jane. His pseudo melanistic younger sister is named Lilian, who has a partner called Peter. 

Their mother also has had two brothers, as the younger ones named Reginald and Zachary have become reluctant and often abused circus attractions whilst their older brother Maximilian died of poor health. They had a father named Lupe and a mother named Arana. 

Their cousins, the twins Casper, aka Dash, and Marsha, are the estranged children of the late Reginald and Isla, who is one of the leopardess quartet of snobbish and arrogant ladies. Meanwhile, Marsha birthed a son named Fargo. 

Morris is Lupe's snarky younger brother, who has three children with a lover named Imogen, a member of the leopardess quartet. The sons are named Tyrone, Dominic and Frank. Tyrone got kidnapped into reluctantly becoming a circus attraction, while Don and Frank separated to live with their girlfriends Molly and Jenna, two members of the declining leopardess quartet. Morris then also dies of old age. 

Lester the Lion was Arron and Bill’s nicer younger brother, who was the father of Ray, Joan and Carl and husband to Maxine. Carl left behind his disgruntled father in order to let his sister succeed as the leader of her pride, which also includes Samuel. Ray the lion lost the plot when Carl kicked him out of the land. 

A growing list of background characters includes Hardy the Redheaded Lovebird, Sawyer the Swindern’s Lovebird and Baxter the Bohor Reedbuck, Oliver the Olive Baboon, Christopher the Common Duiker, Benton the Blue Monkey, Tad the Tantalus Monkey, Wanda the Weyns’ Duiker, Bailey the Bay Duiker, Bess the Blue Duiker, Bonnie the White Bellied Duiker, Dian the Dent's Monkey, Merrill the Mantled Guereza, Fiona the Black Fronted Red Duiker, Marshall the Chimpanzee, Ruby the Ruwenzori Duiker, Yann the Yellow Backed Duiker and Priscilla the Bates’ Pygmy Antelope. 

One of its sequels is Akim, which however has even more; Stella the Stanger’s giant squirrel, Ropey the Carruther’s rope squirrel, Meg and Mab the Mountain Monkeys, Pinky the dwarf anomalure, Opie the Oribi, Steven the Steenbok, Rachel the Ruwenzori Black and White Colobus, Gary the African golden cat, Solomon the Stuhlmann’s Monkey, Ronny the Schmidt’s Redtail Guenon, Sticky the Lord Derby’s anomalure and Uriah the Ugandan Mangabey. A recurring character who appears in both is Max the Mountain Gorilla, a stubborn old silverback. His son in law is actually the considerably much bigger Mott.
