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.
Don’t care, don’t care.
This not a human so brother does not apply. Wait ‘til the ramifications of that word come home io roost. The left will rue that day.
I hope some pajama boy didn’t off himself after reading a false claim of Jericho’s death. That would be tragic.
It’s August 1, 2015 and John Belushi is still dead.
Rumors of Jericho's murder were a little premature I guess. Fools!
The odds must be astronomical!
LOL CNN, you can’t make this stuff up..WOW really..the brother of a lion is a lion you don’t say LOL
In other news, the grieving Jericho has just been placed on suicide watch.
Film at 11.
And Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
LOL! Only someone who works for CNN could be that stupid. All day today I was thinking Jericho was a hedgehog.
Jimmy Hoffa still missing too.
Perhaps he simply “identifies as a lion”.
What a hero.
Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
Can we get off this retro Bambi hogwash?
Stuck. In. My. Head. Now.
*Thanks*
:-P
Maybe he’s trangender..born a kangaroo but in reality is a lion
LOL.
Memories from my High School Days.
I’m replaying it!
