Kevin raised these lions since they were cubs and even used them in a movie, so none of them will hurt him. I think both the lion kings see him as their elderly sire. And since Kevin isn't acting in a dominant and non-threatening way, they simply accept him in their coalition.

There's *nothing* as sphincter-loosening terrifying as a lion's roar. And the fact that Kevin is even stumped as to why they are behaving like that... even more terrifying. I could sense his "silence" when that melee happened, and when the lion walked towards him roaring, I could sense that beneath Kevin's silence, there was that worm of doubt... "What's he gonna do now?" as the lion approached. Kevin even says, "Just when you think you're on top of lion behavior..."
