Mopane was a well-known 12-year-old male lion and head of his pride. He was shot by a bowhunter on 5 August 2021 on a hunting concession bordering the unfenced Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.[1] Reports suggest that, like Cecil, he was lured out of the park using bait before he was killed by a foreign hunter.[2]
