How humiliating. I've been kicked out of my favorite place in the Watering Hole, and it's all Melman's fault
-A distraught Gloria explaining her feelings to Aslan
Gloria came to Aslan, upset over Melman, Aslan told her he knew about Hippo City, because he was hiding when Melman was caught, Melman came back wearing dresses & makeup (being tortured by the hippos so he'd keep his mouth shut), Aslan tells Melman how Gloria feels.

Late Times as Alpha[]
From 1974-1975, Many things happen
Later Years[]
After the 1975 Watering Hole Olympics, It's unknown what happens to Aslan, because he fades out of the story of Alex, Marty, Melman & Gloria's lives after crashing in Africa, It might be possible he was still Alpha Lion after the African story ends or he died of natural causes or was killed & Alex might've became Alpha again, But these ideas can't be told of.
