Quiz: How much do you know about lions?

Mufasa: The Lion King will be released in cinemas on Friday.

NEXT WEEK, CINEMAGOERS will be treated to Mufasa: The Lion King.

It’s both a prequel and a sequel to 2019’s The Lion King and will tell the origin story of Mufasa and Scar.

Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter will also lend their voice acting skills to the cast.

With another film in The Lion King series coming next week, we want to test your knowledge of real life lions.
