Brother of Zimbabwe's lion Cecil appears alive and well: researcher

The brother of Cecil, the lion killed in Zimbabwe by an American hunter last month, is not dead, a researcher monitoring the pride told Reuters, contradicting media reports that Jericho had been killed.

"He looks alive and well to me as far as I can tell," said Brent Stapelkamp, field researcher for the Hwange Lion Research Project which is monitoring the lion with a GPS tag.

A group called the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force posted on its Facebook page that Jericho had been killed at 4 p.m. on Saturday, a report picked up by some Western news media that was rapidly spread on Twitter.

That generated a furious reaction on the social networking site where animal lovers had already been expressing their fury at the killing on July 1 of Cecil, a rare black-maned lion that was a familiar sight at Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park.

Stapelkamp said readings from Jericho's GPS tag indicated he was moving around as usual and appeared to be with a female.

“The brother of Cecil, the lion killed in Zimbabwe by an American hunter last month, is not dead”

Generalissimo Francisco Franco, however, still is.

I hope some pajama boy didn’t off himself after reading a false claim of Jericho’s death. That would be tragic.

It appears as though somebody in Zimbabwe was playing a prank on those whining, crybaby, American, hippy morons. ROTFL!!!

Rumors of Jericho's murder were a little premature I guess. Fools!

In other news, the grieving Jericho has just been placed on suicide watch.

Film at 11.

And Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Perhaps he simply “identifies as a lion”.

What a hero.
