Cecil, a 13-year-old male lion, was of the main attractions at the Hwange national park in Zimbabwe. He was found decapitated and skinned, The Guardian reported. Cecil was reportedly lured out of the park using bait and then shot with a bow and arrow. A group of hunters tracked the lion for 40 hours before killing him with a rifle, the newspaper said. There were conflicting reports as to the nationality of the man believed to have killed the lion. Johnny Rodrigues, of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, originally said the man was Spanish, CNN and others reported.
A Zimbabwean involved in the hunt said they had not realized Cecil’s importance, The Telegraph said.
“It was a magnificent, mature lion,” he said. “We did not know it was well-known lion. I had a licence for my client to shoot a lion with a bow and arrow in the area where it was shot.”
RIP Cecil.
