A hunter has shot dead the largest elephant killed in Africa for almost three decades.

The US dentist who sparked an international outcry after killing a lion in Zimbabwe says he did nothing wrong and is planning to return to work this week.

A lion kills a guide leading tourists on a walking safari in the Zimbabwean national park where Cecil the lion lived before he was shot, police said Tuesday.

A giant photo of the beloved Zimbabwean lion killed by an American trophy hunter is among images projected Saturday onto the Empire State Building in New York in a dazzling display.

Zimbabwe says it is seeking a second American over the illegal killing of a lion.

Thousands upon thousands of people sign a petition demanding justice for Cecil the lion, who was killed by an American dentist named Dr. Walter Palmer during a bow-hunting trip in Zimbabwe earlier this month.
