THIS one-eyed lion looks like a real-life ­Disney villain Scar after a vicious catfight.

The Lion King film’s character is named after his own eye wound.

And this poor fella called Benna was injured in a territorial fight with another male at a Kenya reserve.

Amateur photographer Fabrizio Bignotti spotted this one-eyed lion at Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

Though he is permanently scarred, he appeared to be in a good mood as he guarded his pride.

Mr Bignotti, 55, from Novara, near Milan, Italy, said: “He is a crazy-looking lion, but he is very sweet.

“He lost one eye because of a brutal fight.”

Disney’s remake of the 1994 film debuted at cinemas on Friday and dominated the box office by collecting around £350 million globally over the weekend.
