Adult Simba's age range (in human years)

How old was adult Simba suppose to be. I highly doubt he was old or middle aged. He appeared to be either in his late teens (17-19) or his early 20s (20-24) what do you think!

He'd be fully physically developed and filled out, old enough to marry, and strong enough to fight other adult males.

With no training or experience, BTW, how the heck did he learn to fight while hanging out with Timon and Pumbaa, and eating bugs?

He didn't, he had to learn on his own! He was only able to beat scar out of anger and rage!

[–] Otter (24464) 6 years ago

And presumably because Scar was no more experienced at fighting than he was, Scar doesn't do his own fighting.

Oh yeah true lol, I think the hyenas were his line of defense.

I think Timon and Pumba used him a bit. Don't forget he was trained by the lion king, but Timon and Pumba used him to protect them and hunt food for them. He would have learned self defense out on his own I think. That is how he servived all the years

I think adult Simba is in his early twenties. We saw varying depictions of his adolescence during the "Hakuna Matata" sequence and The Lion King 1½, which I equate as his teenage years.
