The least I can do to give Cecil the lion his deserved recognition is write a post in his honor. Thirteen year old Cecil was a favorite of visitors and conservationists as he was known to them and seemed to enjoy human contact. I just happened across information on how to identify lions yesterday and thought it would be an appropriate tribute to Cecil. A lions whisker spots are unique,like a human's fingerprints or a giraffes spots. There are other identifiable characteristics on lions such as their manes,but only the whisker spots remain unchanged throughout their lives. Two rows of whiskers are used,the reference row and the identification spots,and those are different on each side of the lion's face. I will post the pictures for an example,and follow with a picture of Cecil. Why is it that someone like Cecil's murderer can't be one of the people to meet up with a crazy with a gun,or bow and arrow as Cecil did? If nothing else he may lose his livelihood since he is a very unpopular man right now.
