The lion who lost pride is starving after being expelled from his family (Photo)

These touching images especially show for animal worshipers in the final days of a lion once king of his land.

Now, he is not at the level of his pride and is being weakened by the protection and food his family had given him.

The lion, known as Skybed Scar, is well - known in Kruger National Park, South Africa where he was photographed.

Images are said to have been made by Larry Anthony Pannell, 64, a photographer and acupuncturist.

Larry, from California, U.S.A., said: “

I've seen people lose everything to landslides, earthquakes and fires. I've photographed automobile accidents with serious injuries”

Anyway, I don't think that any photographs or photo sequences have touched me enough to testify to the death of the lion”.
