His coal-black mane proclaimed his status as the undisputed king of this part of the savanna. The Life and Death of Cecil and the Future of Africa’s Iconic Cats – Andrew Loveridge – REGAN ARTSĬecil, the 12-year-old male lion, padded along the dirt track with leisurely strides, soundless except for the crystal scratch of sand under his soup plate–size feet. For Oxford University biologist Andrew Loveridge, who had been studying Cecil for the past eight years, it was devastating. When Walter Palmer, the Minnesota dentist and avid trophy hunter, killed Cecil the Lion in July 2015, the incident ignited a furore. In this undated photo provided by the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, Cecil the lion rests in Hwange National Park in Hwange, Zimbabwe. His last 11 hours were lived in pain and suffering. In 2015, CECIL the lion was shot with a crossbow by the trophy hunter, Walter Palmer.
