The lion named Jacob from the Queen Elisabeth Park of Uganda, he survived to things that caused the death of many lions there, he's a 3 leg lions who comand respect for all he had endure from his birth to now and who made a new world record by swimming in a infested crocodile river over 1,5 kilometers ! Lets wish well for this king and his brothers away from
human "

I read about this lion a couple of weeks ago. What an amazing lion, a true survivor that never quits. But very sadly, in this human-dominated world, he lost a leg due to a poacher's snare. His family was also poisoned. Just one of the many atrocious examples of how humans are destroying and polluting nature and wild animals.

This is why I criticized the capturing methods of the Siberian Tiger Project biologists. They were using foot-snares to catch tigers, and some tigers got injured.

Here's some interesting articles about this male lion 'Jacob':
