The Lion Guard.
Ono and the Egg.
-All quiet in Mizimu grove, Kion! -Thanks, Ono.
Let's check out Hakuna Matata Falls. Then, we can head to...
You guys hear that?
It sounds like a stampede?
Everyone, everyone!
It's a stampede, all right.
A stampede of hyraxes!
Aww!
It's a stampede of cuteness!
-I wonder what's got them so upset. -That's what!
It's a harrier hawk!
And it looks like she's hunting those hyraxes!
She can't hunt here. This isn't hawk territory.
Yeah. But does she know that?
I've got this!
Lion Guard, let's go!
You just wait, my little itsy-bitsyboo!
This will be the best nest in the whole... Aah!
A hawk? Here in the Pride Lands?
Gracious... Aah!
That was Ono of the Lion Guard!
Did you see him?
No, I guess you didn't.
Go, Ono, go!
I am so excited to eat you!
I've never had tree hyrax before!
Hey you! Hawk! Put down that hyrax!
Sorry, young egret!
This hyrax is my small bite.
Not enough to share!
I don't wanna share it. I wanna save it!
That hurt!
Why'd you do that?
So you'd stop looking where you're going.
Stop looking where I'm...?
I'm coming, little hyrax!
Gotcha!
You're heavier than you look!
It's okay, Ono!
You can let him go. I'll catch him!
Oh, good.
Thanks, Beshte.
Happy to help!
What are you doing here, hawk?
The Pride Lands aren't your hunting grounds.
But the Pride Lands are filled with delicacies you can't find anywhere else!
Can you blame me for wanting to try new foods?
Mmm. It is good to try new food.
Uh, but you still can't hunt here.
That's right.
The reason there are so many different animals in the Pride Lands
is because we all respect the Circle of Life.
I hope you'll do the same, and return to your own territory.
Fine.
I'll go home.
After I sample at least one tasty Pride Lands treat!
Great job, Ono.
We couldn't have stopped that hawk without you.
Aw, thanks. Just doing my duty.
That Ono is a true hero.
Which makes him the perfect bird to watch you while I build us a new nest.
With hawks around here, this place will never do!
Thanks for walking me back to my nest.
You did a great job today, Ono.
But now you should rest. Okay?
Affirmative. See you guys later!
-Bye, Ono! -See you!
Take it easy!
Huh?
- Hapana! - Ono?
There's an egg in my nest!
Would you look at that?
Ono's gonna be a mom!
Oh, I don't think that can be right, Bunga.
Oh, yeah.
Ono's gonna be a dad!
I'm not going to be a mom or a dad!
This isn't my egg!
Any idea whose egg it is?
Hmm, judging by the speckles and the size,
I'd say it belongs to a hamerkop.
But why would a hamerkop leave its egg in your nest?
I don't know. Hamerkops are usually excellent parents.
Then there has to be a good reason.
We need to find the mother hamerkop and make sure everything is okay.
Affirmative! Let's go!
Uh, Ono?
You think the egg will be okay up there by itself?
Hapana. I better check.
Huh, not a lot of hollow space. The baby's getting big inside.
Does that mean it's close to hatching?
Yes. It will need someone to sit on it to keep it warm
until the baby bird's ready to be born.
I'll do it! I'm great at babysitting!
-Zuka za! -Bunga!
You can't just jump on the egg! You'll break it!
Huh. You sure?
I'll stay with the egg.
But please bring back its mom soon. Okay?
It shouldn't be hard to track her.
Ah, the scent's still strong.
What do you think, Kion?
Yep. Got it.
We'll be back before you know it. Let's go!
Have fun sitting on that egg, Ono!
So let's figure out precisely what you need.
My bottom's not as large as a mama hamerkop's.
So we'll need to maximize warmth.
There. The perfect approximation of hamerkop egg-sitting!
Hmm.
I hope no one sees me like this.
Oh! Fiddle leaf figs! There go my sticks!
Oh, well. Plenty more where those came from!
Hey!
Who's throwing sticks at me?
No one, Little B.
It's just the rainstorm.
Wait.
The hamerkop mom is this way.
Uh-oh. I know that sound.
Mudslide!
And those hares are right in its path!
Come on!
Now, what yummy tidbit can I taste before I head home?
Mudslide! Mudslide!
Ooh! Red rock hares!
Such a delicacy.
Nobody should notice if one of them just happens to go missing during a mudslide.
The Lion Guard?
Again?
But if they're here, then they're not watching the rest of the Pride Lands!
Tasty treats, here I come!
Are you okay?
I am, but the others ran into the aardvark dens to hide!
The mud's headed right for them!
It could bury them inside!
Then we have to get them out. Come on.
Till the Pride Lands end...
Lion Guard defend!
Hmm. I think my tail feathers fell asleep.
Hapana!
You're hatching!
Aww.
What a cute little bird!
Okay, maybe not so little.
Uh, hello there, baby hamerkop!
What are you doing?
Oh! Of course.
You're doing the hamerkop family dance.
That way we'll be bonded as a family. Wait!
Baby hamerkop, you don't understand.
I'm not your family! Really!
This is all a case of mistaken identity!
My friends have gone to get your mom!
And I hope they find her soon.
Twende Kiboko!
Okay, guys! Get them out!
Hey hairy, hairy, hares, you can't be in there! The mud's coming!
Everybody out!
It's too scary out there! Can't you just let us hide?
No can do. I gotta get you out of there.
One way or another!
Oh, I say!
Is everybody out?
Where's my sister?
I'll get her.
Kion?
You okay, Kion?
Sure. Wouldn't wanna do that again though.
Now, let's go find that hamerkop!
So... Uh...
What do we do while we wait for your mom?
Hapana!
You're as heavy as a hyrax!
Hold on!
We can land on a nice, soft...
Thorn bush?
Ow.
Huh, wait! Come back!
Baby bird?
Don't move, little bird. I'm coming to get you.
We're close. The scent's getting stronger.
Much stronger.
Maybe because we've found her nest.
That's not a nest.
It's a mountain in a tree!
Think the mama hamerkop's inside?
One way to find out!
Bunga, wait!
Hello? Anyone home?
Whoa! This place is un-Bunga-lievable!
I bet even Beshte could fit in here!
What a nest!
And it's got grubs!
I could get used to this place.
Well, don't, because it's already taken!
Oh! Hey, Kulinda!
I didn't know it was your egg in Ono's nest.
-Yep! -I don't get it.
If you already have such a great nest, why did you leave your egg with Ono?
You think this just happens?
My nest wasn't ready yet!
There. Now, it's perfect!
I needed a safe place to keep my little wudgie-cakes while I built this nest!
But now I can't wait to bring my egg back home.
There's nothing wrong with my egg, is there?
Is that why you came? Because something's wrong?
No. Everything's fine.
We just came to get you and walk you back to your egg!
Oh, what a relief!
Thank you, I'd love the company.
Then let's go!
Uh, Bunga?
Coming!
Snack for the road.
I do hope Ono didn't mind too terribly watching my egg.
You kidding? Ono's the best.
Yep! I bet he and that little eggy are all cuddled up warm and snug right now.
Finally.
Hapana!
What were you doing?
Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?
That river's moving way too fast.
And you can't swim! You can't even fly!
Not only that, there's a waterfall down there!
I did not sit on your egg till it hatched just to watch you get hurt!
Now, we're going back to my nest to wait for your mom, and that's final.
You understand?
Great. Now, you're tired.
Okay, fine. We'll stay here a minute and rest.
But in the tall grass, where it's safer.
Uh... That's okay. You can lean on me if you want.
You know, you're kind of cute when you're not getting into trouble.
Sleep tight, baby hamerkop.
Nothing here.
Hmm.
You following me, vulture?
Oh! Why, uh, yes. Yes, I was!
You're a hawk, you know,
and where there's a hawk, there's bound to be some food to pick over!
True. We hawks are quite the hunters!
With an eye for delicious meals, if I might say so.
Oh, I'm Mwoga, by the by.
Hello, Mwoga. I'm Mpishi.
So, Mpishi, what are you doing here in the Pride Lands?
This ain't your territory.
I've tried all the food in my territory.
I thought I'd come here and try something new.
But every time I try to grab a succulent bite around here,
the Lion Guard's there to stop me.
The Lion Guard?
Oi, if they're on your tail, you're out of luck.
Maybe I just need a little help outwitting the Lion Guard.
What do you say? Wouldn't you like a fresh meal?
"Fresh"? Ugh!
This beak only touches Grade-A carrion!
"Carrion"? Leftovers?
You call that a meal?
Well, yeah. Tender. Tasty.
And it never tries to run away!
Maybe, but a truly great meal is fresh!

How about this?
You help me, and I will let you have all the scraps you can eat.
All the scraps I can eat?
Oh, I might have to talk to the committee about it.
Now or never, Mwoga.
Mpishi, you got yourself a deal!
I bet Ono will be happy to see you!
Yes. And I can't wait to see my eggie-pie!
Here comes Mommy!
My egg!
Is it gone?
No! It hatched!
You sure there was a baby inside?
Yes! And it's gone!
Hapana!
There you are! My little one!
I'd know you anywhere!
Where's my baby?
Uh, what'd you call it?
Uh, the baby. Her baby.
Your baby.
Aww, that's nice.
She really is your baby.
Oh, Ono, thank you so much for watching her.
I knew you'd be perfect for the job!
It was nothing, really.
Though I did learn something new.
What's that, Ono?
Baby hamerkops love chasing insects!
So no matter what, you always have to keep an eye on them!
Should be common knowledge, really.
Stop watching her for one second and she's gone!
Isn't that right, little...?
My baby!
Where is she?
Oh, where'd you go this time?
She's at the river! We need to hurry!
On it!
- I missed her. - Not your fault.
Come on!
The river's too fast!
We can't catch up!
-Hapana! -No!
Mm-mm! Hamerkop!
Whoa. Didn't see that coming.
It's that hawk again!
We'll follow them and see what we can do!
Let the baby hamerkop go!
And leave the Pride Lands without trying at least one of its specialties?
I don't think so!
You're not getting away that easy!
Drop the hamerkop, hawk!
Well, if you insist.
No!
Surprise!
Mwoga? Come back here!
Ugh! I feel so helpless down here.
We have to do something!
Wish we could, Fuli.
But Ono's the only one of us that can fly.
Wait. I've got an idea!
Zuka Zama!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Toodle-oo! It's munchy-time!
No hawk's going to take my baby!
Kulinda, wait! We need to work together!
Listen, I have an idea.
The baby's gone! All right?
Now get off!
Sure! See you!
Um, off to the Outlands then?
Good idea, Mwoga. Get out of here.
I am so looking forward to having you for a snack!
Hamerkop is very rare where I come...
Nice catch.
Nice plan.
For the last time, hawk, leave the Pride Lands!
Now!
I hear you! Fine!
I won't hunt in the Pride Lands anymore.
No dish is worth this aggravation.
Good.
Kulinda, we're so glad you and your baby are back together again.
Well, we wouldn't be if it weren't for all of you.
Especially you, Ono.
And that's why I want to thank you with something special.
I wanna name my baby after you.
Two Onos?
Won't that be confusing?
No. The baby's a girl, so I'm naming her Ona.
Hey, she likes it!
I'm gonna miss you, Ona.
But I promise I'll visit, okay?
You're welcome any time.
But we consider you family now, so when you do visit,
you know what you have to do.
Okay.
I'll give it a try.
Aww.
That's nice.
