Juhudi is a female giraffe. She is a member of Twiga's herd.
Juhudi's mother, Twiga, left her in the care of Bunga at Hakuna Matata Falls. There, he taught Juhudi and several other young animals how to defend themselves. Later, a pack of jackals attacked the youngsters, but they used their training to drive the predators off. Afterward, the young animals praised Bunga for his babysitting abilities.
Biography
Early life
Juhudi was born to Twiga. She lived in the Pride Lands as a member of Twiga's herd.[1]
Babysat by Bunga

One day, Juhudi was at a watering hole with her mother, Twiga, who was attempting to drink from the pool. However, Juhudi's rambunctious antics continually distracted Twiga. Muhimu told Twiga that her son, Hamu, was being babysat by Bunga, and Twiga wondered if Bunga would take Juhudi as well.
Twiga and several other Pride Lander parents approached Bunga, who agreed to watch their children. Bunga then taught the children to "kick," "jump," and "slide." In the middle of their games, the young animals were attacked by Reirei and her children, Dogo and Kijana. However, by using Bunga's lessons, Juhudi and the other children were able to fend off the jackals. Shortly afterward, the parents returned, and Juhudi excitedly related her lessons to Twiga.[1]
Janja's attack
When Janja and his clan began to hunt Juhudi and her mother, Twiga, the Lion Guard rushed to their defense. In the midst of the chase, the team split up, with Kion and Beshte remaining to handle the situation. As Beshte and Kion raced after the hyenas, Janja ordered his lackeys to stop them. With four hyenas on the attack, Beshte and Kion quickly became overrun.
Up ahead, Twiga lashed out at Janja, kicking him away from her and thus saving Juhudi. Janja then called a surrender, and the hyenas beat a hasty retreat. Beshte and Kion checked on the status of the giraffes, then followed after the hyenas to make sure that they had left the Pride Lands.
Later, Juduhi and Twiga enjoyed a show put on by Tamaa the drongo.[2]
Army of Scar
At Mizimu Grove, Rafiki and Simba announced Makini's mpando mpaya. In the midst of the celebration, the Army of Scar attacked, and the Pride Landers rose up to defend themselves. The battle paused when Scar appeared in the flames and threatened to overtake the entirety of the Pride Lands. Frightened by Scar's unexpected appearance, the remaining Pride Landers, including Juhudi and her herd, fled Mizimu Grove.
Simba approached the Pride Landers once the Lion Guard had calmed them and admitted that he had had knowledge of Scar's return for some time. The herds deliberated whether they should leave the Pride Lands, and Simba told them to inform him of their decision the following morning at Pride Rock.
At Pride Rock, Kion implored Twiga and her herd to follow him to Mizimu Grove before they decided to leave the kingdom. The herds followed Kion to Pride Rock, where Makini's baobab tree seed had survived the fire. This inspired the Pride Landers to remain in the kingdom and work together to defeat Scar.[3]
