Jericho, the lion is alive and roaming his park habitat in Zimbabwe, a Oxford University researcher tracking the lion confirmed on Sunday. He is the brother of Zimbabwe's most famous lion Cecil who was killed earlier this month.

Brent Stapelkamp dismissed reports that the lion had been killed, saying a GPS device on Jericho didn't suggest anything out of the ordinary, reports CNN.
