Nairobi –
A bird elements named Loonkito become the talk of the world. This old big cat died because he stole the people’s livestock.
Reported from Metro UK, the lion was named Loonkito. This male lion is 19 years old and is said to be the oldest in the world.
Actually, Loonkito is unofficially the world’s oldest lion. However, because he was 19 years old and lived in the wild, the title was given to him.
Generally, lions living in the wild will only live to be 18 years old, according to conservation group Cats for Africa.
The chronology of Loonkito’s death began when this lion entered Olkelunyiet Village near Amboseli National Park, Wednesday (10/5). This lion deliberately went there to prey on cattle.
The group of Maasai warriors who saw this tried to drive Loonkito away with spears. Unfortunately, Loonkito did not want to leave there.
The spear went flying, Loonkito got a puncture wound on his head. Loonkito’s death is mourned by conservationists and known as a legend.
“The predator was nicknamed the ‘Legendary big cat warrior.’
The conservation group Lion Guardians hails Loonkito as a ‘Symbol of Resilience and Coexistence’.
“It is with heavy days that we share the news of the passing of Loonkito (2004-2023), the oldest male lion in our ecosystem and possibly Africa,” he wrote on Facebook.
