Very sad news coming out of South Africa this morning.

King Dark Mane of Madikwe was sadly euthanised due to becoming paralysed in his back. I was privileged enough to see him and his brother Blondie on my trip in Sep, sadly he leaves Blondie and many new cubs behind and very vulnerable.

RIP Dark Mane you were truly a magnificent King and no longer suffering in pain. 😭😭😭😭💔

They were admitting medication for the past month but his back condition continued to deteriorate. There’s a video of him unable to get up as he back legs are completely paralysed, the only humane option was euthanasia.
