Further details
Neil the wimpy lion is under pressure from his overbearing mother-in-law to 'man-up' and 'get buff' like previous alpha-male lion, Maximus. To prove he too can be a powerful dominant male, Neil seeks out ways to improve his physique and, impressed by Jurgen's muscles, he decides to copy the gorilla and go vegetarian. The new veggie diet however, doesn't go down too well for carnivore Neil - he misses his meat with a side order of meat and despite his best efforts to kill some carrots, his mother-in-law still isn't impressed.
