There are reports that he is still alive and well, and that the report was false. I hope they have armed guards around him now!
He is alive it was reported by ZimParks, it was likely a mix up from a report about another lion shot illegally – which is still terrible & they are investigating that, but for now Good News Jericho’s collar shows he is active & Zimbabwe has put an immediate ban on hunting outside the park for now more here http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0Q63CQ20150801?irpc=932
Thank goodness. Go Zimbabwe!!!!
I hope whichever lion is no longer with us will still get attention to demonstrate that what happened to Cecil is an everyday occurrence not something sad but rare.
