And the day before, one of the oldest lions living in the wild in Africa was killed with spears by Maasai herders, near Amboseli National Park (south), near the border with Tanzania.

"A total of 10 lions have been killed in the Amboseli ecosystem" since last week, Kenya's Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement, noting that meetings have been held with representatives of local people to discuss the issue.

The agency pointed out that "the discussions focused on how to reduce the risks of conflict between humans and wildlife, including the development of preventive systems to alert communities to the presence of wildlife in their vicinity."

The incursion of wild animals into populated areas has increased in recent years in the East African country, after urban development has reduced their habitats and migration areas.

On Friday, the 19-year-old lion, Lonkito, was speared after entering a cattle enclosure near Amboseli Park.

"It was an old lion struggling to feed itself, and the livestock is easy prey for any normal lion who would go hunting for wildlife within the park," said a spokesman for the Kenya Environmental Protection Agency.

In July, a lion escaped from the Nairobi National Park, causing panic in an area south of the capital, before being hypnotized by rangers after being returned to the park, located seven kilometers from the center of Nairobi.

In December 2019, a lion killed a man just outside the park, while another lion was killed in March 2016 after attacking a nearby resident.

About 2,500 lions live in Kenya, according to the country's first national wildlife census, conducted in 2021.
