Jericho the lion is alive and roaming his park habitat in Zimbabwe, the Oxford University researcher tracking the lion confirmed on Sunday. Brent Stapelkamp dismissed reports that the lion had been killed, saying a GPS device on Jericho didn't suggest anything out of the ordinary.

Furthermore, the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, which told CNN and other media that poachers killed Jericho, retracted its statements on Sunday. As proof of life, Oxford University tweeted a photo of Jericho, taken by Stapelkamp early Sunday morning.

Jericho is the brother of Cecil, the lion that was killed by an American dentist last month. Ref. CNN
