Pridelands Family Tree is a well known piece of artwork in the Lion King fandom documenting the family tree of the lineage of Pride Rock. The piece was created some time before 7th December 2012, and spread not only within the fandom itself, but also outside of it to more mainstream platforms, being reposted on sites including Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Fanpop.
The fanart is a relatively simple family tree, especially compared to other examples in the fandom, only featuring the main lineage from Mohatu to his great great granddaughter Kiara. Though the piece sometimes seems to have been confused as official over the years, it includes some headcanon, such as Uru being Mohatu's child instead of Ahadi, and has Scar as the father of all three of Zira's offspring - despite The Lion King II: Simba's Pride making clear Kovu wasn't his so as to avoid any incestuous implications for Kovu/Kiara.
Omitted character Mheetu appears, and Ahadi and Uru's designs are fanon typical. Due to the piece being done prior to the announcement of The Lion Guard, Kion is not included, though Kopa - Simba and Nala's semi-canonical son - is.
At some point, the artwork was uploaded to DeviantArt by the user flameshadow117, though it is unknown whether this is the original artist.
