Flash back on 7 years reign of king Bob juniors in the plains of Serengeti, Tanzania

For seven years, Bob Jr and his brother Tryggve Marley ruled over the Serengeti, protecting their territory, and ensuring the safety of their pride. Despite being only 10-12 years old, Bob Jr was already one of the longest-living male lions in the area, second only to his father, who lived to be 14 years old.

He was the ‘coolest cat’ of Serengeti. The photogenic lion was a favourite among visitors and ruled for seven years. Bob Junior was killed by three younger rivals while he was attempting to defend his territory  in the eastern plains of Sametu kopjes in Tanzania
