Alex

Alex is a main deuteragonist of '''Madagascar. '''He is a lion from the Central Park Zoo with 3 friends: Marty, Gloria and Melman.

Story
Alex's father Zuba, was teaching Alex how to hunt, or, "to fight." Zuba grabs a toy, for Alex to hunt it. Instead, Alex dances instead of hunting. Zuba says "No dancing!". While Alex attempts to do it again, Makunga sees Alex and Zuba. Makunga interrupts the practice complaining "that Zuba isn't the best, and he deserves to be Alpha Lion". Makunga pounces on Zuba, causing a fight. Alex is distracted by a butterfly, and then eating it. Alex accidentally takes a hunting bait. He finds himself with a hunter saying, "Here, kitten kitten kitten.." and one with a gun, pointing it right at him. One of the hunters calls him a "beauty" meaning that he'll make a good part of the hunter's collection. While Alex is frightened, The hunters throw him in a crate, driving with him off. Zuba is worried about Alex, so he yells "ALAKAY!" (also known as Alex's real foster name) and repeating it. Zuba sees Alex in the crate, frightened. Zuba chases the car, and trying to pounce on it. Zuba finally gets on the car, attempting to save Alex. The hunters see Zuba, and try to shoot him. Zuba gets shot, while falling to the ground. The car makes a rough turn, causing Alex to fall off the car, landing in the water. Zuba gets up, he chases the car yelling, "ALAKAY!" again. Alex yells, "Daddy!", stuck in the crate. Later, Alex gets recused by zoo workers, causing it to be on the news. Alex gets picked up, and then at the Central Park Zoo audience. Alex stands up, making a small mew causing the audience to aw, and then clap. Alex dances for the audience, causing them to aw again. Baby Gloria, Melman and Marty see Alex performing. Gloria calls Alex "cute" while Melman responds saying, "You think he's cute?" And then coughing. Alex surprisingly jumps majestically in front of the audience. Years later, Alex, Gloria, Melman and Marty are now in a circus.

Trivia
