Cecil the Lion’s cubs are faring well under brother’s care

Zimbabwe has reportedly lifted a ban on hunting around the national park where Cecil the lion was killed.

The 13-year-old lion was allegedly lured out of the Hwange National Park.

Initially there were fears that Cecil’s cubs may be killed by Jericho, so that Jericho could insert his bloodline into the pride.

The Task Force might launch a campaign to raise funds for the mounting of Cecil the Lion’s head, according to Rodrigues. “They seem to have Minnesota circled on the map and I think I saw one lion on the phone on hold with SouthWest”.

The July 1 killing of Cecil, a rare black-maned lion, during a hunt by US dentist Walter Palmer sparked worldwide outrage.

Palmer has now been in hiding for more than a week after being unmasked as the fanatical American bow hunter who slaughtered the famed big cat.

“I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt”, he said in that statement.

His initial shot failed to kill Cecil outright and the lion evaded him for a further 40 agonising hours.

Up until last June, Walter Palmer may have been a familiar name among big-time hunting enthusiasts or people who needed to get their teeth checked at his dental office in Bloomington, Minn.

Researchers have an unusual quantity of knowledge about the behavior of the lions in Hwange National Park because many, including Cecil, were fitted with high-tech collars that allowed Oxford University scientists to closely track their activities.

The authority said in a statement that it had agreed to “undertake an industry-wide investigation to crack down and weed out any illegal hunting activities”, but it was not clear if the latest case had emerged from that investigation.

Also on Tuesday, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh said it was reviewing Seski’s donation of two Nile crocodiles and an American alligator to see if he followed worldwide standards published since the donations were made.
