There has been a little bit of confusion as to who is related to who in The Lion King films, and so, in hopes of resolving this problem, I have come up with this Lion King Family Tree.

Please feel free to correct any mistakes I may make.
Thank you.

---

The First Generation:

The first known lions to live on Pride Rock are known as the First Generation.
So far, the only known lion from that era is Mohatu.
Mohatu was a noble leader of his pride.
It is said that after he had passed away, his spirit had become the brightest star in the sky.
Mohatu had mated with an unknown lioness before his death, and she had given birth to Uru; the future queen of Pride Rock.

The Second Generation:

After Mohatu's death, his daughter, Uru, had set out to find a mate of her own.
It didn't take long for her to find Ahadi - a loner who she had instantly fallen in love with.
They soon had two lion cubs of their own who would come to be known as Taka and Mufasa.

The Third Generation:

From the very beginning, the two brothers had shown strong dislike towards one another.
Their fighting and arguing never seized, and both Ahadi and Uru realized that they could not stop Taka and Mufasa from their rivalry.
Not so long after the lions had hit adolescence, Taka had planned a way to seek revenge on his royal brother; the one who was chosen over him to take the throne.

After speaking with a water buffalo by the name of Boma, Taka had assured her that his brother, Mufasa, had wanted to start trouble with the bison.
When Boma attempted to attack Mufasa, however, Taka's plan backfired, and he was cut over his eye by her horn.
As a punishment by the pride, Taka had to answer to the name ''Scar'' for the rest of his life.

The lioness of this era were Sarafina, Sarabi, and Zira.

Sarafina had mated with an unknown lion and given birth to Nala.
Sarabi fell in love with Mufasa, and they had Simba.
Zira and Scar had two cubs: Vitani and Nuka.

The Fourth Generation:

Soon, Simba had met Nala.
The two cubs became very close, but it all ended one day when Scar planned his final attempt at revenge.
He had killed his brother, Mufasa, by throwing him off of a cliff into a stampeding herd of wildebeest.
Scar blamed the death on Mufasa's son, Simba, and the frightened cub ran off from home.

Years later, in hopes to find help for her starving pride, adult Nala left home.
She soon met adult Simba, and they gave birth to Kiara.

The Fifth Generation:

Kiara met a lion by the name of Kovu, and they fell in love.
Not much is known about their cubs / ruling.

I didn't go into much detail with this.
Characters that I did not add:

Kopa
Zazu
Pumbaa
Timon
...And a few more...

I also could not find an image of Queen Uru =S

Please feel free to ask questions and post additional information ;D

If Kiara's a Fourth Generation lioness,and Kovu's a Fifth Generation lion,wouldn't that make her older than he is?

Yeah, I thought that too... but I thought about it for a minute, and realized that I have a neice that is about my age, and shes in the generation after mine. So Kovu and Kiara could be in different generations and be the same age. :)

Well, it doesn't necessarily mean that he's older than her.

Kovu wasn't introduced at birth like Kiara was at the end of the first Lion King.
(And I know that some of you think that the cub at the end of that specific film was Kopa, but he wasn't featured in TLK 2, so I'm not even going to bother with him right at this moment.)

By ''generation'', I sort of mean the films that the characters were in.
It's difficult to explain...

Well, as far as this 'Family Tree' goes, yes.
