'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.

"Bob Junior, Africa's 'King of the Serengeti,' Killed by Rivals"

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.
