That's one of the best stories I've ever heard! Shows beautifuly the union of men and other highly inteligent beings, who aren't that wild or stupid, as we tend to see them.

[irishhelen100]

"If Christians refuse to live a life of inferiority, then this signals their rebellion and the unavoidable necessity of Jewish warfare against their very presence." [Cf. Mordechai Nisan, Kivunim (official publication of the World Zionist Organization), August, 1984, pp. 151-156].

[Dharshiya]

[burnowl89]

They should have kept it

[leahartlee29]

I cry like a sap whenever I see this...it is so breathtakingly sweet.

[xheyqtx]

ok yeah i just watched this 4 times...

[Oegaboega12]

Its touching indeed, just goes to show the notion 'love' isnt strictly human, animals such as dogs, cats monkeys and, apparently, lions are capable of loving too, even if they are not the same species. So nature is not only conflict but also harmony...Ying yang :)

[jmarsh433]

at 1:18 you can even see christians paw hug the mans leg...unbelievable

[valerienanh]

I believe it.  This was very touching!

[h4ku89]

Lies! Believe none of it... The truth is that lion "eated" them...

[Willy420Wonka]

Shit always makes me cry.

[couger310a]

[GabriellaSannino]

Every time I see this video it brings it all back home. Love is the best thing in the World. I have to admit I still cry every time Christian jumps on them. Wow *sniffing

[0813tracyk]

I saw This about a year ago, and it still gets me chocked up

[norman1233]

The old man,George who looked after Christion ,was murdered later.....very Sad.

[italiauno17]

Who was the guy without the shirt? Their Dad?

[DietBroccoli]

he was the reserve guide i believe

[Metalboy721]

The guy without the shirt, was George Adamson, he was a conservationist who took care of lions on his reserve.

[brookeridgebd]

So beautiful and touching! I must now have my "Christian" fix each day. What a story

[myronkelly67]

[gypsylovebug14]

Oh, My heart is over-whelmed with awe and love.

[Hawalli1]

Me Too!! cry cry cry! I snopes-ed it in case it was a hoax, and it's completely TRUE! Amazing, truly!!

[soccerchick0007]

This is sooo sweet! It makes me cry every time I watch it! Beautiful!!!! <3 :)

[ABouter]

The only strange thing is that the other wild lions are even very kind to that people!?

Anyway...very nice video of corse!

But don,t try this at home..euh...in Africa.

[cadrolls1]

I think that because Christian was the head of the pride, the other lions felt it was okay. How else can it be explained? In any case, it is really a tear jerker.

[ABouter]

The head of the pride?I didn't think about that but it sounds as a good explanation why the other lions only looks curious and not attack that two men.

Thanks for youre reaction.

[ThatsCrazy2121]

my math teacher showed us this video!!! its soooo cute!

[theatrelover559]

aaaw that's so sweet! i'm actually tearing up

[jUcFrUiT202426]

that's the sweetest thing i have ever seen! ahh! i'm gonna watch it again!

[unett]

The lion seems to like the blonde guy better, or is it just me to think that?

[moonblossom15]

that's so sweet! I haven't been this cuted out by a video since the paw-holding otters!

LOL, that reminded me of my cat when I come home to visit from college, he always remembers me right away too!

[siriuslysweet]

so beautiful! it made me cry.

[laughandlove2]

I saw this right after I got back in contact with my dad, who I haven't talked to in 3 months, and my grandmother, who I haven't seen in over a year...the last message made me cry, even more than I was already! Beautiful video, it just really touched me.

[musicalbabe01]

aww!!! thats so cute! kinda scary though.... but amazing!

[nighthawk4466]

Such a beautiful sight to see! I cry everytime I watch it. I adore cats big & small.

[SugarlessAngel]

Same, I cried when I saw this video. I was like OMG AWW..

[peteyd]

amazin

[fundudejo2005]

so beautiful but yet so sad

[CpmPanda]

This video ROCKS! If I could cry...this would be the time to cry.  Unlucky for me I can't :'(

[yourpoisonedapple]

Ohh no...it's awful dusty in here.

damn allergies.

[ObscureMechanics]

Is this for real? I thought the lion was going to maul them!!

[TaylorAndMariaShow]

This made me cry :D

[Jeepersca]

do the two guys have to look like such doofuses? I know this video is touching and all...but it just reeks of stupid email forward idiocy. Sigfriend and Roy's tigers "liked" them too, but one little bit of "oh, darn, did I use my claws on you? sorry about that" and those Bee Gees haired guys are toast.

[TaylorAndMariaShow]

This took place in the 70's.

Even though they might look weird now, they fit in well back then.

But was that comment really necessary, anyways ?

[MoshingMinister]

that was cool thanks xD

[Princesstutufan1]

OMFG i luv it it's so awesome

[tlee570]

Very cool! I am totally checking out that website!

[DanielaVideoProducti]

you spammer! take down tadmanly video now!

how dare you put your website up there!

[msmann65]

THANK YOU for bringing this story to the World!

Please help get the book back into publication by e-mailing Harper-Collins on their UK website (under "contact us" then "orders")

[postyesterdayman]

I wonder why this footage has only now become so popular? Anyways, very touching stuff!

[cehreh]

made me tear...beautiful

[o7jimmy]

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing.

[susanneff]

This song fits so well! gave me goose pimples lol. If you like this. Check out the movie of his story here on youtube. I don't have it but I found it on here. Its a full length documentary and it tells the whole story, You will learn that the pride he runs is a man made pride, with George Adamson. Trust me you won't be disapointed!

[HentaiLuff]

I watched it twice, my eyes are all watered up. Dx

[patzsister]

what a lie! where the interview?

I HAVE IT ON MY CHANNEL...change your title!

[erickahg1]

What a great video!
