Kampala — A LION named after US President Barack Obama has disappeared from Queen Elizabeth National Park.

"We put a radio collar on the lion on November 7 around the time when Obama was elected US President last year," said lion expert Ludwig Siefert.

A collar fitted with a small

radio transmitter when attached to a wild animal can be used to track the animal's movements.

Obama was moving from Lake Katwe, a favourable area for lions towards Nyamugasani area in the north-western part of the park, when the trackers received one of the last signals from him.

A total of 14 lions out of 60 living in the park have been fitted with radio collars.

He is out raising community awareness and "organizing".

Perhaps he wanted CHANGE!

Perhaps they found out he was really a Kenyan Lion............

That plays nicely into a joke that was going around here a while back.

But I will not repeat it.

Lets just say thats one lion that won't be missed.

I'm guessing he forgot to pay his mandantory health insurance bill.
