Despite the protests from her stomach, Shenzi's hunger was overpowering, and so she made her way over to the trough and began to eat. She was about half way down the trough when she couldn't eat any more, and so sat back. Struggling with her opposing feelings of hunger and fullness she missed a minor but vital fact, for a moment as she was sitting back, all four paws had been off the ground.

Unable to eat any more, Shenzi finally considered where she was going to sleep, here by the trough, or over in the corner where is was a bit more peaceful.
