Uganda the white lion dies at wildlife park
A "majestic" 16-year-old white lion who lived at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park has died. Uganda was put to sleep after his "quality of life started to deteriorate quickly", the zoo said. The white lion arrived at the zoo in Friskney, near Boston, along with his brother Pascha six years ago. The park and the University of Lincoln will monitor Pascha to make sure he doesn't start struggling following the loss of his brother. Steve Nichols, the park's chief executive, said a post-mortem examination had found that Uganda's pancreas was in a "really bad state". He added: "The entire team are obviously gutted we've lost an absolute cracking part of our extended family, but we're so pleased that we got to this before it started to cause him insufferable problems. "We are a sanctuary [and] none of us likes the idea of losing an animal. We all become very attached to them and it's always a really hard decision." In a statement, the wildlife park said Uganda was a "powerful predator with a deep connection to his brother". Mr Nichols said: "Now what we've got to do is manage his brother, who has been with him for the last 16 years. "He's never been separated from him, and he's been tending to him."

Serving Family, Faith & Fashion: Keke Palmer & Kandi Burruss Amongst Celebrities Who Celebrated Easter In Style
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: Sara Jaye / Getty It was a Happy Easter for these celebrities! Over the weekend, they gathered with their families to celebrate the holiday. Check out a gallery of photos from their fun and luxurious celebrations inside. Stars like Keke Palmer, Tia Mowry, and Kandi Burruss shared their Easter celebrations on social media. Easter is also acknowledged as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday. It is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The holiday is described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of Jesus' burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. In Western society, families gather their children for Easter themed gatherings that involve Easter egg decorations, Easter egg hunts, and Easter bunnies. There's meaning behind each of these traditions. For example: Eggs represent new life and rebirth, and it's thought that this is how the ancient custom became an integral part of Easter celebrations. In the medieval period, eating eggs was forbidden during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) so on Easter Sunday, tucking into an egg was a real delight. Celebrities go above and beyond for their little loved ones to celebrate the occasion. This year celebrity families like Palmer and her son, Leo, posted creative photos perfectly in theme. While Burruss and her young ones smiled for an Easter themed photoshoot. However you like to celebrate, the most important part of the festivities is spending time with family.
