Due to the unique circumstances of our roleplay world, where characters possess the ability to heal themselves using herbs, we've decided to extend Kijabi's hyena and lion lifespans to approximately 40 years. This adjustment aligns with the conditions of captivity, where access to proper care and nutrition allows for a longer lifespan.
