History
Avalanche
| “ | ” |
One day, while relaxing in their hot spring, Yuki's troop was approached by Anga. Though she attempted to ask for directions, they panicked and threw things at her until she left.
Shortly afterwards, Kion inadvertently caused an avalanche by using the Roar of the Elders on the mountain. The snow monkeys nearly got swept away by the snow, but the Lion Guard worked together to save them. Once the avalanche had passed, Kion apologized to the snow monkeys for his mistake and offered to lead them to a new hot spring, since their old one had gotten buried in snow. Anga spotted a nearby hot spring but pointed out that it was surrounded by trees, and Fuli warned Kion that they did not have time for such a delay. Even so, he insisted that they lead the snow monkeys to the hot spring.
Together, the Lion Guard and Yuki's troop traveled to the new hot spring. Upon their arrival, several flying squirrels attempted to greet them, and the snow monkeys fled in fear, believing them to be birds of prey. In doing so, the troop fell into a snow well, or a deep hole in the snow at the base of a tree. The Guard searched for the troop, and Bunga ended up falling into the snow well himself. In order to save the snow monkeys and Bunga, Anga lifted them out in her talons and deposited them safely on solid ground.
With Yuki's troop safe, the Lion Guard located another hot spring and led them there. The family then relaxed at their new home, with Kimyo and Nabasu even playing with Anga in the warm water.[1]
Physical characteristics
