Simoni the Lion had a tumor surgically removed from his stomach by veterinary surgeons at the Ramat Gan Safari.

In a two-hour long operation, doctors successfully cut out the growth, which was the size of a tennis ball. The tumor will be sent to a lab to determine its malignancy.

Simoni is expected to return to his enclosure tomorrow morning.
