Maybe Rafiki dropped him as soon as the credits hit lol

AFAIK, there was never a boy cub to begin with. LK 2 picked up right where the first one left off, with Rafiki saying "it's a girl". There was really no indication of the cub's gender initially anyway, which is why I was confused when a "second" cub was mentioned. Kiara was ALWAYS the first-born cub. She's the heir, pure and simple. Though given that she can't be "king" anyway, it hardly matters. Kovu took that spot.

So the "missing cub" is just a misunderstanding of Kiara's birth, then. Glad that's cleared up.
