Teentsi was revealed to be a bulky, strong lion and Alex is quickly defeated by him. Makunga ( Alec Baldwin), Zuba's rival, persuades Alex to challenge Teentsi during the Alex's rite of passage. Zuba assumes Alex is strong after hearing he is the "King" of New York and arranges a rite of passage into the pride. In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Alex encounters his parents, Zuba and Florrie ( Sherri Shepherd), who are overjoyed to see their son and he becomes co-alpha lion alongside his father. Alex works to defend Marty and is later given sushi by the penguins to satiate his hunger. Marty pursues him, unwilling to leave his friend, but is attacked by the fossa, the native predators of Madagascar. Hunger drives Alex into a crazed state, and after almost killing Marty in hunger, in a moment of lucidity, he goes into self-imposed exile, barricading himself in fossa territory. He grows very hungry after days of being unable to eat, not realizing that steak is animal flesh. They wash ashore on Madagascar, and, while Marty is excited to be free, Alex wishes to go home. The animal-rights activists pressure the zoo into releasing them back into the wild, but on the ship to the preserve, Alex and his friends fall into the ocean. In Madagascar, after Marty, Alex's best friend, leaves in an effort to take a train to the wild, Alex, Gloria the hippopotamus (voiced by Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the giraffe (voiced by David Schwimmer) pursue him and are shot with tranquilizer darts by humans. He is found by humans who renamed him Alex and took him to the Central Park Zoo. During one of the sessions, Alex was captured by poachers, but the crate he was contained in fell into a river and eventually floated to New York.

He was the only son of the alpha lion, Zuba (voiced by Bernie Mac), and was constantly given lessons on hunting, though he displayed no interest in the activity. He has brown and yellow fur, white whiskers, a black nose, a large, fluffy mane, and a long tufted tail. As a cub, Alex was born on an African wildlife reserve, and was named Alakay.
