An odd thought occurred to me as I was writing a fan
fiction. Zira and Kovu both said that Scar was NOT Kovu’s father, yet
apparently, Scar was still alive when Kovu was born because Scar had “Hand-chosen”
Kovu to be his heir. So, here’s what struck me—maybe Zira was not his blood
mother. Perhaps Kovu’s real mother died at birth, and Scar was also mated to
her at the time, and mourned her, and chose the orphan son as his heir.

Well, it makes sense! What do you think?

i guess its possible altho knowing scar i doudt he mourned for her but why what reason would Zira out of all the more caplable lionesses including queen sarabi take pitty on him and choose to raise him as her own?

My guess is the unknown lioness was a kind of social outcast--that is, others didn't want to be with her. And Zira was just trying to win points.

I didn't get it. Zira calls Kovu her son. Zira is definitely Kovu's mother, otherwise why would he be exiled with the other outlanders? I think that Scar escaped the hyenas, and Zira and some other lionesses that were followers of Scar kept him hidden in the Pridelands. A male lion (maybe a teen when Simba was a cub?) also mated with Zira, and that was how Kovu and Vitani happened. Even though Nuka was his son Scar didn't see him as a suitable heir and saw Kovu and chose him. Shortly after, Zira killed Kopa (optional) and Simba found her pride and exiled them, and killed Scar. Just my theory. XD OR when she said Kovu was hand-chosen by Scar, maybe the truth was that Scar actually said the next born male, and Zira was just exaggerating to make Simba mad.

None of the other lionesses were Zira's offspring, Legacy. Why were they exiled--eh? It's just because Simba thought they didn't belong. Anyway, it's just a theory.

Zira is TOATTALLY Kovu's Mum!!! she calls him her Son and ' my little kovu' (during 'my lullaby') so she is Obviusly his mum!

I'm not sour but I think that Nuka and Vitani founded him as a cub and they called Zira to do something. And than when Zira came she adopted him and gived him new name Kovu. That's what I think. I'm sorry. My English is very bad...

Zira is without a doubt Kovu's mother. :D
