'King of the Serengeti' Lion Bob Junior Killed by Rivals

Bob Jr., a pride leader and considered Africa's most photogenic lion, was attacked and killed by a group of younger rivals, including some of his offspring, in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Bob Jr. ruled the pride for seven years with help from his brother Tryggve, who was also killed in a separate but apparently coordinated attack. Wildlife experts say his death was an entirely normal part of the cycle of life in the Serengeti, and his genes will live on through his many offspring.
