Doesn't this prove that you can't pick on any when they are young, cuz when they grow up, they turn into killers, and Protectors at the same time. I understand this.

Yes, I wondered the same thing too. Maybe Lambert's real mother probably would have reported the stork for misdelivering Lambert to sheep instead of his real mother in the jungle of South Africa. (At 2:31, even though the stork tried to get the sheep to understand the mistake, he should have came back to get Lambert back to his real mother in order to do his job correctly). If Lambert wasn't raised by a real lion, I also wonder how he learned how to roar at the wolf at 7:14.
