Following yesterday’s crushing news about Rusty the Red Panda passing, unfortunately, comes more sad news from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo:
“Our Zoo family is mourning the loss of Luke, a 17 y.o. African lion who was humanely euthanized Oct. 19. He was truly the king of the Great Cats exhibit–gentle with his mates, Naba + Shera, and a patient and protective father to all 13 of his cubs.”
