Missing lion in the stray beast quest

[Manaman]

Hi all i have been all over the map and cannot find the lion i keep finding all the other stray animals multiple times but no lion
on returning to farmer it doesnt let me complete the quest so am guessing it needs to be slaugthered.

any ideas where it might be please?

They all spawn around the same place, you maybe just got unlucky. Just need to keep trying
