Pentagon, do not leave us

Asiatic lion called Pentagon (Panthera leo persica, lev persky) from ZOO Prague, Czech republic - but he will (maybe he has already) probably leave the ZOO, because his brother replaced him. Pentagon was not able to produce a baby with a female... Poor kitty. I will miss him!

For =amrodel, as she had her nameday and she loves this lion
