Khumba Page #4

No, wait.

Two-and-a-half

is a crowd.

I thought...

Bradley.

Tweak the beak.

So will there be water

at this water hole?

I believe that's the concept.

And is there such a thing

as a magic waterhole?

The mantis is an ancient creature.

And?

He knows the secrets

of the Karoo.

And?

And he must have chosen this little guy

for a reason.

I guess that's not

a good-bye hug.

You in or out, Bradley?

Where you go, Mama V, I go.

Great. Go clear

our tracks.

Make it like we were never here.

Khumba!

Zuki. Zuki!

Get off me!

Khumba!

Khumba!

Tombi?

He left.

Through here.

I'm going to go find him.

He couldn't have gone that far.

If we just follow his...

Whoa, stop.

We need brave zebras

like you, Tombi.

That's why you need

to stay here.

All right?

Deal?

Deal.

You know, guys...

I don't know.

Sometimes I don't think

you see the bigger picture.

Nice do.

Do it yourself?

Been in the bush lately?

Very funny. Can I

please slurp in peace?

When exactly did you decide that you

were going to hold the zebra ransom?

It was off the cuff.

A little bit of this,

a whole lot of us.

You know, team work.

Yeah, we're the team.

You do the work.

Whatever happened

to the pack mentality?

Hey, guys?

What's wrong, Skalk?

Abandoned by your pack?

Hey Phango. I was just having

a little drink of water.

It's not even water.

Just mud, really.

And it's all yours

for the taking.

Don't eat me please.

Give me one good reason.

Go on.

Give it your best shot.

Now you're a sophisticated,

discerning gourmet type.

You are what you eat, right?

Mm-hmm.

How about some

organic, free-range,

fresh meat?

As in heart still beating fresh?

As in young

and tender zebra fresh.

Actually, he didn't look

like much of a zebra.

He's half striped.

But he sure smelled like one.

Half striped?

Finally.

As it was foretold.

I was just passing by.

I knew there was something

different about him.

Then again, half a zebra is

better than nothing, right?

Better than nothing?

You scavenge so low

on the food chain,

you couldn't possibly

see his power.

I've always been a half-full,

half-empty kind of guy.

So sue me.

Where is he?

He was attacked.

A herd of giant wildebeest.

A pack of crazed ostriches.

Show me.

Woo, dragging across the

Karoo is hard work.

You noticed.

And it doesn't help that you can't

find a drop of water to drink.

Without Phango

panting on our way.

You shouldn't scare him

like that, Bradley.

I'm good.

Did you know he eats his pray

while there's still a heart beat?

He feeds off their fear.

That's how he gets his powers.

His supernatural powers.

Enough, Bradley.

Woo, well, it's been a long day.

Let's stop here.
