(Reuters) - Simba, one of five lions getting in touch with his wild side, is seen in Cochabamba, October 18, 2009, in preparation for a new life in a U.S. wildlife sanctuary. The feline is one of the first animals to benefit from a new Bolivian law that defines the use of circus animals as 'an act of cruelty.' Turned over to an animal rights group by his former circus trainer, Simba is living in a temporary home in a public park in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba, waiting for veterinary clearance to be sent to the United States. The law gives circus owners in Bolivia until July 2010 to take animals out of their acts. Picture taken in October 18, 2009.REUTERS/David Mercado (BOLIVIA POLITICS CRIME LAW ANIMALS)

(Reuters) - A lion named 'Selenkay' feeds on a zebra in Mbirikani group ranch in Maasailand, southern Kenya, September 19, 2009. Picture taken September 19, 2009. Maasai Lion Guardians track a score of collared - and many more uncollared - lions across a swathe of a million acres of community cattle ranches at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Preventing lion killings outside of Kenya's national parks is a daunting task. Some 100 lions are killed in Kenya annually. In the past, those figures might have included ritual killings by Maasai warriors. These days, they reflect a conflict over resources between lions and people. To match Reuters Life!
