Juvenile lion confiscated from Chinese man in Phnom Penh

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It might be another lion not that lion owned by the Chen.
Yeah, I heard everyone in BKK1 is getting lions nowadays, it could have been anyone's. Don't jump to conclusions just because it was photographed just outside the guy's house on 306. 8)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The owner of lion ‘Dark Mind’, Zhai Xinjiang, has contacted Khmer Times and alleged that an attempt at blackmail was behind the lions dramatic escape from his villa home yesterday

I reckon it was the goat, got close with the pug while the lion was away and is trying to get his friend back

It's clear even the simplest of errors can lead to the animal's release, and there is a lack of strict procedure's to follow or - probably more likely - the staff are too useless to adhere to them.

Surely enough is enough with this guy?

That's a great picture.

The goat has decided to see how it works out for the dog before he gets too friendly.

I am not convinced it is a real lion at all.
It looks more like one of those hybrid, genetically modified, white lion/tiger/marmaduke (whatever..) crossbred things china and others spit out these days.

As seen on Fox owned National Geographic channel. The NY Post version of the wildlife world.

Whatever its genetic code... it is certainly also the fat rich suburban kid's totally phoney kind of real jungle beast.
