On Feb 24 2011 Ice Tracks Expeditions will take John Rendall of Christian the Lion fame, down to Antarctica, the world's most remote wilderness! The man who took Christian to Africa and was eventually reunited with the lion will join us in our voyage to the Weddell Sea and onto the life-changing Continent of Antarctica starting from the port of Ushuaia, the southernmost city of the globe. Check out ice-tracks
Oh my goodness, that was adorable. I just watched the documentary on Animal Planet and cried my eyes out. What an amazing depiction of the love that can happen between man and animal. I WANT A LION HUG!
That never happen though. Once you are befriended by a cat, it won't ever hurt you unless it was playing and playing a little too rough. I sincerely doubt a cat will just bite off your arm as a means of showing affection.
However, for a dog or wolf (same thing truly). If it gets hungry and you no longer show control over it, it might very well attack you and eat you.
With cats it is not that way. Once we befriend them, they see us as one of the pride and they won't normally eat each other.
Nah, just like to make jokes (weak as they are) at a theist's expense. Not that my joke isn't rooted in truth: wikipedia(d0t)org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition
Anyhow, don't get bent out of shape over a post on the internet. =/
Actually something similar HAS happened. There is a story about a man who was "accepted into the pride" not with domesticated but wild lions. Idk the name of the vid but you can find it if u search up "man accepted into the lion pride".
I die every time I watch this. The best hug EVER filmed.
I am sooo envious of Ace! What a beautiful, incredible 28 seconds this is. I bought the DVD and the book about Christian's story. I also have part of his story from the animal planet on DVD. I just can't get enough of Christian. I cry every time, with ANY of his videos. He was the best lion, ever.
Just think about it, this will NEVER happen again.
You are the one who's wrong. The Christian story was 40 years ago, with more than one person involved with his trip to living in Africa. Kevin's situation, although amazing, is completely different. I have searched it. The Christian story is waaaaaay better. It WON'T ever happen again. Those two men owned Christian until he went to Africa. They bought him at Harrod's. You must not know the whole story or you wouldn't have said what you did. Kevin didn't buy any lion. Way different story pal.
I agree that Kevin's story is equally remarkable- it's a shame to quibble over "The Best" Both show that lions are highly sociable animals capable of developing strong bonds. What Meg and Amy feel for Kevin is no less than what Christian felt for Ace and John. The real issue is that there are now just 25,000 lions left, so maybe your children will never see a wild lion....
Watched this tons of times. Even got the dvd. Ace and John were besotted with Christian. He in turn adored his adoptive 'parents'. True love was never forgotten.. this will stay with me forever too.
Ace was his favorite alright.You can see it in the video in Kenya that everyone loves.I hope Christian never forgot Ace as he got older in the wild.Ace hoped the lion lived ten more years in the wild.That would be to the mid 1980's.
How beautiful that was. It proves to people that animal and humans are so connected. Please realise that we have to protect lions. We have to fight for them to survive as we have a mouth that can speak, they haven't. Let's fight for their survival because they can't. Please look at the Born Free website and help in any way you can.
I'm sorry, but that looks almost pornographic. If I were that animal handler's wife, I'd be checking his collar every night -- not for lipstick, but for tiger-love-bites.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this reminds me of this time i saw this video from around the 70s era of this pack of lions eating a man. maybe it was him? it looked pretty sore anyway
What does it say about these 2 guys and what kind of human beings they must be that the lion had such trust and love for them after a full year out in the wild? In one other clip, when Christian is about 180 pounds, he runs and jumps up in this blond guy (Ace)'s arms, Ace carries him like a baby. Ace is one strong dude for being so thin. Awesome video, thanks
Not only that, but they had the wisdom to realize that as he grew, they would not be able to provide for him space-wise, and that it was best to let him be introduced gradually into the wild through someone experienced with lions. Everyone talks about the love Christian shows them. It's because they gave him unconditional love too!
True love and trust between them.He was loved so much. Wolves are the same way. You can build a love &trust bond. "Save the wolves".
Sarah Paline had wolf pups furs on her office wall; to veiw look up ETnews Fri 6:30pm 9-12-08; should be on youtube or google.Prayer wooks.God wants to hear you talk to Him.

It would be so good if John and Ace can republish this book and make them available on George Adamson Trust. I have written to John about this.
I don't think Christian was a cat, or a big cat for that matter! He's one hell of a good friend. And he reminds me of my dog, he behaves almost the same when I get home ;)
