news headline; two men were found mauled today by their pet lion whom they ironicly named christian, odd thing considering christians in roman times were tossed as lion food but, life is fully of funny little coincindeces isnt it?
@buckstrickland2 they never said he was released into the wild. they said he was living as a wild lion. Just because an animal is on a reserve doesn't mean it isn't wild.
None of them are in cages? um zoos?? (btw I was talking about zoos vs. pets. Not the wild) I'm not saying you can't think lions are cool. I'm just saying they don't make good pets.
Its Kind of wrong to put animals in cages, their only one way to tame a wild animal, one make sure it knows you are way stronger, faster and can over power it if it acts up or try to attack you oh and feed it a lot so it won't try to eat you...
@epiex1997 I'm not heartless. It's just that I don't cry over a lion. You know why? Because they're wild animals. There's a reason most of them are in cages and not in homes...
@2014saints who said im crying, actually almost none of them are in cages and all in the wild, now you are a stupid shitheaded cunt with no respect for animals
Best video on the internet. Shows an incredible amount about the emotive ability of wild animals. Can never look at another animal the same way. So beautiful.
@JesusChristRulesYOU No One Cares If They Are Homos Or Not You Preaching Asshole And No One Cares About Your Comment . . . This Video Just Shows The Love Between Two Species Of Animals . . . If You Are Too Ignorant To Notice That Then Just STFU
@Radicalvegeta Very true, but just for future hate comments. The capital letter for every word makes you look less intelligent and more like a little kid trying to look smart.
@Dpatt55 Well Thats My Way Of Typing Cos I Like It And Over The Net "GrammEr And Punctuations" Means Very Little And I For One Am Not The Hater Here . . . Guess It Goes To Show Who The Dimwit Is . . .
The video is so beautiful. While not seeing each other for 1 year is amazing. But the lion was still young for his age. But happens when he is 12-15 years of age! Will that lion remember these two men for having him, taking care of him as a cub?
people just keep exotic pets as a fasination and to save them from pochers and from stupid people who breed them for money im 12 and when i grow up i am going to breed exotic cats to save there species and to return them to the wild with care i also cried while i watched this on tv and now i am telling every one now who loves every animal in the world no matter what shape or size to tell and teach people to save animals
so touching!!!! people who belive wild felines and other wild animals are man eaters and are stupid and once they meet someone new remembers them.the pet just remembers them so if it is returned to the wild the person who was the new person they met went to go see if they would remember them to eat them.that lion was on tv and they rescued him from a circus that was beating his parents and he was a cub and were already forcing him to jump 10 feet in the air to get his daily baby mouse for food.
everyone is impressionable at your age. but not all lions are nice like this. 99% of them will eat you if they had a chance. every predator cub looks cute and cuddly when they are young, but they are very dangerous to humans. never approach one in the wild. and to all the people that say they cried- watch the video without the aerosmith song and see if it has the same effect. i bet you guys all cried at the end of the movie armageddon, too
... It's very touching, but I'm still trying to figure out whether or not that lion was hugging them, or trying to tackle them down... but nonetheless, very heartwarming!
Actually they didn't even train him. I saw a documentary of this on animal planet. They got Christian at such a young age they actually just raised him like a normal house cat. They didn't train him at all. He just remembered them after a whole year. Its very heartwarming. I think everyone should have an animal like that as a pet. Even if eventually, you have to give them away to live a better life. As long as they remember you. And not as food.
Personaly, I think it comes down to the moment, and personality of the animal. Some will go through their lives, never react badly, others who might be a bit more independant or jumpy or aggresive will go for ya
Actually, the trainers did visit the lion a second time after that and the lion warmly greeted them once more. So I'd say it was a lot more than just "luck".
aww nice video, i would have thought it would be a bit daunting seeing your lion after you know it has been killing for food for the last year...but it's great how it runs up to him and gives him a cuddle, but i don't think the lion wanted to leave home in the first place :(
its not that hard to get a lion, tiger(and bears oh my) as a pet if you have the cash to spend. its about 10,000$ US or about 25 Euro lol, to get one. the only thing you need is a whole lot if space, some permits from the local fish and wildlife dept, and a regular supply of fresh meat. if you are actually looking into it DO YOUR RESEARCH BECAUSE THEY ARE A HUGE COMMITMENT AND LIABILITY. yea this is a cute video but this lion is the exception to the rule. keep in mind it will eat your kids.

Trying to predict what WILD animals do is like gambling- it's just a crapshoot.
