Bupu is a male sable antelope. When a series of severe rainstorms hits the Pride Lands, Bupu and his herd are led to the Flood Plains by the Lion Guard. Bupu is adamant and stubborn about following the Lion Guard's orders, and eventually refuses to cooperate altogether. However, after Fuli apologizes for the situation, Bupu relents and leads his herd to safety on the other side of the Flood Plains.
