The son of Cecil the Lion, whose death two years ago sparked international outrage, was shot and killed by hunters in western Zimbabwe, in an incident eerily reminiscent of how his dad's life ended. The 6-year-old lion named Xanda was killed outside of the Hwange National Park, according to The Telegraph. Richard Cooke, who runs RC Safaris, discovered the dead lion and handed his electronic collar back to researchers. The collar was fitted on Xanda in October to help researchers monitor his movements in the area.
