Yes, I read the news on Twitter earlier this morning.
There is this video of Jicho going around in a circle after being blind in the right eye as well.

I feel heartbreaking as it might be to see the king's struggles, KWS (Kenya Wildlife Service vets) should have let nature take its course.

Jicho was one of five Enkoyanai boys and despite being blind in one eye, he was very aggressive.
Born in Enkoyanai pride and Sired by Lolparpit and Olbarnoti. He along with his four brothers took over the whole Mara North Conservancy. He was in his prime age.

Tbh this is an extremely rare occurrence where I agree wholeheartedly with the decision made, nothing good would have come from him having a natural death. Just from the video of him walking in circles, it’s clear he wasn’t doing well and I’d argue putting him down instead of waiting until he eventually dies from hunger, dehydration or even getting hurt from prey and/or other lions is the correct choice.
