Bizo is a baby elephant who bullies young animals.
Description[]
A young male African bush elephant and Pagoola's son. Known for his habit of dismantling homes of many smaller animals because of his arrogant nature. For this reason, he is at odds with Lune, though they reluctantly have to work as a duo to free themselves from a dual-headed bear trap in Episode 18 - The Steel Monster. Despite his arrogant nature, he is whiny, boisterous, and brutal; as seen in Episode 19 - A House for the Animals, where he tears more homes of smaller animals asunder due to his apparent dislike of them, which sparked a fight between him and Lune which ends in a win for the calf.
In the 1989 remake, he was shown to be a bully, teasing the younger animals - which caused Bubu and Toto to lead a forest wide manhunt which ends in a short brawl between Kimba (Leo) and Bubu. Luckily, the misunderstanding was solved and Bizo start to have a lot of respect for Kimba (Leo).
