R.I.P. Loonkito!
RKO_8679. Sad news about Loonkito, one of the oldest lions at Amboseli and probably in the whole world. Together with 10 other lions he was killed by herders (shepherds) following a human-wildlife conflict where the lions killed some cattle and a dog. How can we prevent such tragedies in the future?
I took this image during my last trip to Kenya in November 2022. Loonkito was 19 years old when killed. Male lions normally live up to 10 years in the wild.
