The teeth of Elek, 17, the oldest male lion of Nyiregyhaza Zoo are checked during a general medical examination in Nyiregyhaza, 245 km east of Budapest, Hungary, Tuesday, November 5, 2013. The life span of lions in the wild is eight years on the average, so Elek is highly esteemed in the zoo for his very old age. (Photo by Attila Balazs/AP Photo/MTI)
