Apparently he didn’t fight back......I had watched other attempts to take him out over the years....even after he got lean he still fought and sustained his ‘kingship’ over the pride....but this time apparently not.
Far better for him to be torn apart alive.
Then having a human hunter pay 10’s of thousands of dollars kill him
Than having the money go to help the parks revenue stream.
he allowed a sibling male lion in his territory. I wonder if after loosing his sibling he just did not have any fight left...
