Simba then asserted his own title as the future king, but the hyenas were not impressed. Shenzi recognized Zazu as Mufasa's "little stooge," and Zazu clarified that he was the king's majordomo. The hyenas approached and remarked that the three were trespassing.
Just then, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed echoed his laughter and emerged from within the skull, while Simba hid behind Zazu in fear. However, Simba insisted that he was not afraid and laughed mockingly in front of an elephant skull. When Simba and his friend, Nala, ventured into the Elephant Graveyard, Zazu attempted to get them to leave. What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick around for dinner. Afterward, the trio walked away, guffawing. The hyenas nearly managed to catch Uncle Max, but he escaped down a hole just in time.
