Here is Jericho, Cecil's last partner, he sadly died naturally just after New Year.
Here he is in a tree escaping a marauding herd of Buffalo., in his homeland Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Cecil (and Jericho) will be missed. You don't usually see big male lions in trees that often. Pretty nice.

This is a pretty neat shot of a big male lion. I like his intense focus, away from the lens.
