Very sad news from the Serengeti yesterday, Snyggve aka BJ (Bob Jnr), the most famous lion in the Serengeti was killed in a vicious fight with 3 younger males.
He was a long time ruler of the Namiri Plains together with his coalition partner Tryggve.
BJ was the son of the legendary C-Boy or Bob as he was more colloquially known and one part of the formidable team Bob & Ziggy (Hildur) BJ was dominant in Namiri for 7 of his long lived 12 years and sadly this beautiful male has now died fighting an honorable death among lions.
We pay our respects and say goodbye to what was the Brad Pitt equivalent of lions throughout the entire Serengeti.

RIP BJ, it was an absolute honor to have known and photograph you for the greater part of your magnificent life!

A small photographic tribute to one very chilled and magnificent Lion. (y)
