Bob Junior, a lion known as the "King of the Serengeti," was killed by rival lions in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. The 10-year-old lion, who had a distinctive black mane, had dominated his territory for seven years alongside his brother, Tryggve, who is also presumed dead. Conservationists are preparing a special burial for Bob Junior, who reportedly did not put up a fight when he was attacked. The Serengeti is home to approximately 3,000 lions, and incidents like this occur when the head of a pride becomes old or when other male lions are not happy with his control over a large territory.
