Tang Yong Jian, who pleaded guilty to ivory smuggling, was fined 20m shillings (£140,000) under tough new anti-poaching laws, devised to curb poaching and the trafficking of endangered species. Tang, a Chinese national, will face up to seven years in jail if he is unable to pay the fine.

Where have you seen lions in tree?

Thanks to MagicalKenya for the image!

Step out in style this week...Magical Kenya wishes you all a lovely week ahead.
