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.
Dan Politt, 16, was with his parents at the home Wednesday afternoon bleaching the bright blotches left by the pigs feet that were staining Palmer’s driveway.
Palmer’s dental practice in Minnesota has been the scene of protests against Cecil’s death, with crowds leaving stuffed toys of lions, tigers and monkeys outside the building.
Mr Rodrigues said the Task Force would raise the money for Cecil’s head to be mounted in a glass case and would ask the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority about the plan “once the dust had settled”.
