Cecil’s Pride and Joy: Researchers say the cubs will be fine

The combined authorities of the Zimbabwe National Park and Wildlife Management pointed the lion’s death to Seski. Killing one continues the species’ march toward extinction.

He revealed that the pride has been hiding behind a water pan known as Kennedy Two since fleeing their den at Ngweshla – but need to keep moving.

The future looks bleak for Cecil’s young cubs.

“The females must become nomadic and keep running. It is a disaster”. To make it worse, they attempted to destroy the Global Positioning System collar he was wearing as part of an Oxford University study. These protections would allow the agency to tightly regulate the import of sport hunted African lion trophies.

“People would be foolish to come by and do something with cameras and armed investigators on the property”, said owner Walter Zalisko, who said someone from Minnesota representing the family contacted him before the crime. “He may believe that some are his offspring”.

He has said he did not realize that his guides had illegally lured Cecil from his sanctuary in the Hwange national park. “Must we just all forget and push it to the side so that the future generations will not know how magnificent Cecil was?” they wrote on Facebook.

When American dentist Walter Palmer shot a beloved lion named Cecil in Zimbabwe, some activists anxious he endangered the lives of Cecil’s cubs too.

BBC learned through Rodrigues that the initial plan was to send the lion’s head from Zimbabwe to South Africa and then to the United States, so Palmer could claim it.

Over 200 lions are legally killed, turned into trophies and exported every year.

Theo Bronkhurst, the professional hunter accused of failing to prevent Cecil’s unlawful killing, branded the charges against him “crazy” as he arrived at a court in Zimbabwe on Wednesday. Bronkhorst was a guide on the illegal hunt that Palmer paid for.

Killed by dentist: Cecil the lion.

The media has been ablaze with news of the murder of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe, as it should.
