P sure it was debunked long ago by the animators that this is a baboon skull that Scar is playing with, not a lion’s skull. Note the larger front teeth and the huge gaping hole that would have housed a large canine.
IDK where this theory sprouted up but it’s a baboon’s skull, not a lion’s skull.
I do know the popular theory is that Mufasa’s body was scavenged by the hyenas. It makes sense that scavengers would have picked the body clean, leaving little to no evidence. The circle of life, and all that.
