April 2023
Yesterday we had to say goodby to Bakari. The vet made sure he passed away peacefully, at a respectable age of almost 20 years. He wasn’t sick, just old and exhausted. He couldn’t anymore.
He was a special lion, which left an impression on many. For many years he has been a righteous and clear leader of his troop. He was an imposing lion, even without his mane. Due to his temperamental, but stable character, his ladies could always count on him. Unfortunately, great leaders also grow old, it was time for Bakari to say goodbye.
