I was reading an article that said Abe lincoln MIGHT have been saved from dying of his gunshot wound, had he been given the advanced medical care of today's world.
That brings me to this question:
If mufasa had been given vet treatment after he'd taken his fall, could he have survived?!

There's a possibility he might have.. I think it really depends on how he land.. Hopefully he didn't break his neck during the fall.

^^indeed
also, if he wouldve, it woulda been a long recovery, Im sure he broke quite a few bones...which also depends on what bones broke n if they punctured any of his organs or if any of them had burst during the fall....transplants mightve been necessary...

Actually, I was thinking no... A fall from that hight, and the possiblity of landing on one of those wildebests, I think he snapped his back, in which case he'd have died instantly...

Well, they didn't fall off of 100 foot cliffs, and then land on solid rock/the backs or antlers of stampeding wildebests.

Its a hypothetical, even if he snapped his back, he mightve just been paralyzed

But he had today's medical care, and would have permanent damage to the dog.
Also balto is animated as is lion king so that even if Balto fell off the world and landed on a land mine balto could survive if the creators wanted him to. Its really up to the writters

Um, I'm gonna have to say no on this one. Just cause it wasn't really the fall that killed him, it was being stepped on by a ton of wildebeests that I think did him in lol. If he had just fallen off the cliff, I'm sure he would have been hurt, but it would have been treatable easily. Since he fell into the gorge with all the wildebeests and was dead by the time Simba got down to him, (which I'm sure was only a mere few minutes after the fact) I don't see him being able to be brought back to life, as sad as that is. But like we all know, his death was not in vain, as it made for the entire storyline of TLK1. So we'll always remember Mufasa for what he was. A great leader, father and an all around awesome lion. Besides, do you honestly think Mufasa could afford to pay back the medical bills if they could save him? I hear the Prideland's HMO isn't the best, and doesn't cover back-stabbing brothers and wildebeests stampedes. ^^

Which is all the more reason he would probably have been dead long before simba would ever have found him.

yes he could have survived if he had stayed where he was on that rock out of reach of the stampede and also out of reach of scar. going up to scar is what caused him to die.

That's not what the question asked. The question was would mufasa have survived, if given prompt medical treatment.

He is a lion! That's problem! In fact, anything that now people have got for animals could save Mufasa's life. And he definitely broke every bone! He couldn't survive anyway...
