Lionel's Kingdom (Turma da Mata) is a Brazilian comic strip created in 1961 and part of the Monica's Gang comic strips.
The series features anthropomorphic animals who almost all walking on two feet (except for Tim Turtle), wear clothes, and obviously, are able to speak. Their home is a forest, presumably in Brazil, although featuring mostly African animals. Originally the strips began with the protagonist character McFox (Raposão), but over the years with the popularity and constant protagonism of other characters, comics have gone untitled for many years until being renamed to the current title.
