Sigmund is a male human.
One day, before one of their white lion shows, Sigmund and his business partner, Lloyd, had a fight and refused to work together. In their absence, Timon and Pumbaa ran the show. Afterward, Sigmund reconciled with Lloyd, and the two agreed to rejoin the show, this time under Heimlich and Schnitzel's conditions.
Biography
Early life
Sigmund lived in Las Vegas. He ran a white lion show alongside his business partner, Lloyd.[1]
Fall-out with Lloyd
While Timon and Pumbaa were walking in Las Vegas, Nevada, they found a seafood restaurant and saw lobsters, which they mistook for bugs, in the window. They walked into the restaurant but got thrown out since they did not have any money. The two then saw that there was a nearby show about two white lions named Heimlich and Schnitzel. Their trainers were Sigmund and Lloyd. Timon suggested that he and Pumbaa join the show so that they could make money for the seafood restaurant.
When Timon and Pumbaa entered the show, they saw Heimlich and Schnitzel sitting in their cage. Next, they saw Sigmund and Lloyd arguing and breaking off their partnership. Timon then decided to run the show himself. He and Pumbaa entered the cage, and the show began.
Pumbaa enjoyed the lions' performance, while Timon was frightened by the pair's harsh behavior. The meerkat saw Sigmund and Lloyd sitting at separate tables, refusing to talk to each other. Pumbaa then had an idea for a television special, and the two men reunited and decided to run the show again. However, under Heimlich and Schnitzel's conditions, Sigmund and Lloyd got tormented by the lions.[1]
