It's now
unclear as to what is true. The BhejaneTrust in Zimbabwe just released the
following statement. "False information being put out about Jericho -
brother to Cecil - being shot today. According to Brent Staplekamp at Hwange
Lion Research, Jericho was alive and well at 8:30 tonight and moving around
Antoinette Estate (where Cecil was shot) with a female."
The story of
Cecil The Lion just got even worse ... his brother Jericho was shot and killed
by poachers Saturday afternoon.
A
spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force said, "It is with
great sadness and regret that we report that Jericho was shot dead ... We are
absolutely heartbroken."
Jericho was
gunned down in Huwange National Park.
He was left
to protect Cecil's cubs after the famous lion was killed by dentist Walter
Palmer and officials say Cecil's cubs and lionesses are now at risk without a
grown male lion.
