Big thanks to Virginia McKenna and her husband Bill Travers who played Joy & George Adamson in the epic film "Born Free." They had a hand in getting Christian to George in Africa. They were so moved by working with the lions they began to champion the cause and dedicated the rest of their lives to these magnificent animals.
The old guy was George Adamson and was well known for hand rearing Elsa the LIon Cub George and Joy did warn the men that Christian may not recognise him. If a trained zoologist doesn't know that George had sucessfully hand reared elsa and reintroduced her into the wild and he was well respected in Kenya for protection of the said species
this just gave me goosebumps cause i share the same last name as the guy at the end.....on a lighter note at the beginning of the vid i felt like austin powers when he couldnt control the sound of his voice when i was reading the caption=)
@pappflora12 all animals have incredibly long memories. it is the 2 leg animals (humans) who like to believe they don't. that's how people get round getting rid of animals who are no longer convenient. If u wish 2 carry on believing that never take on the care of any other animal.
John and Ace were so privileged to have known and raised this wonderful lion - and to have retained that friendship in this joyous manner is indeed humbling. I am afraid human beings - the most destructive of God's creation the predator to be most feared - are hell bent on destroying this world of ours. - on killing and wiping out species of animals - of taking from the earth & not putting anything back. Let us take hope from the love in this clip & learn from a wonderful Lion called Christian
wow wow wow that all i can say, if Animal can show emotion like this why are we human so inhuman to ourselves, let make the world a better place we have no other place sept this one , love is the only key to the problem of the world, christian show love to Muslim and Muslims, let try live by our name peace not war and bombs one love will keep us together peace to the world, may be Animal should take over lol
I have wached all the beautiful videos of Chirstian the lion and all of them have touched my heart.i have the book called A lion called Christian. Thank you for all who donate to help and care for the lions.
I watched the 1 hour documentary on Perths CH 7 TV the other night. It was an incredible testimony how love conquers all and the bond that existed between Ace and John even after a eyar apart. Sadly Christian has long gone to that animal heaven in the sky as this was over 40 years ago
I like this video and the music, the other videos like in "The View" they play "I dont want to miss a thing by Aerosmith" and it sounds very corny with the video....5 stars to this one
Stop with all the sad faces!!! At the end Christian grows and has a family of his own :) watch the full story........even though it is sad when the other lion died...
This is not a hoax. If you really want to know, research it a bit further. This did happen. But the people were not strangers to Christian, they raised him from a cub, but released him into the wild. This is their meeting with him a year later. The lion simply saw them as part of his pride.
it's not a hoax, they lived with it in their flat while they were students. There is a documentary on it tomorrow. Don't know why anybody would cry over this though, maybe it's the sappy music.

This same hoax was perpetuated by some self-proclaimed wolf experts a few years ago in Yellowstone National Park. They claimed to have raised wolves, turned them loose, and then reunite in the wilderness more than a year later. The wolves were professionally trained by a stuntman who also trains animals for movies. You can see why they do this though. People get all mushy and warm thinking that mankind can walk harmoniously with animals as though it were some natural marriage. Fake destiny.
leão bom; é leão livre na selva, quaisquer visão do bicho manso não é natural, o normal na cena, era os caras sairem machucados e ou até mortos. Esse bichano não sobreviverá entre os seus, se é que ele ainda esteja vivo.
I must admit the song wants to make me cry lol and who is george adamson is he one of the guys who looked after the lion if so im said to hear he's dead , and this proves that animals and humans have same emotional feelings and but for this to happen animals must be incontact with humans as cubs because the cubs can befriend humans easier this way.
I agree; the way this video is filmed makes it seem as if they just walked on in there randomly, but it just so happens that they have raised him from when he was a cub therefore it remembered them after a year.
" A wild born female would not approach a group of humans and camera crew like that, regardless of how Christian was acting. It is possible she was a hand raised/reintroduced lion too, though.
Lions are extremely aggressive if you cross their comfort zone."
and I would like to add:this lion did not live in the wild, but in a RESERVE with regular contact to humans (notice the old guy who presumably led the two brits to the lion)
do you mean the old man - george adamson? do you know why he was murdered? i would love to have a lion or tiger for a pet, but i know that is impossible and they belong in the wild with their pride.
@germandude76 everyone knows that already, the beautiful part of the story and the point of it is that they were told the lion would have no recolection of them, but he rememberd the love he got from them and never forgot
Type in; "Christian the Lion owners on The Today Show" and you will see a very recent interview with John Randell & Anthony "Ace" Bourke 35 years later.
well the reason why they are wild animals is because they can't be cute and friendly in a wild place. THEY KILL TO EAT AND LIVE! only HUMANS that i don't understand why they have to kill other human beings without any reason, or i may be say they kill for pleasure..
I think the bond people have with animals can be such a positive thing. I am a vet tech. and I see so much cruelty in the world.. please people spay and nueter your pets as animals are dieing in shelters, due to overpopulation. I just had to add that, as if you love animals and this video please do the right thing.. I too enjoyed seeing the bond here.
beutiful does make u wanna cry aniamls remeber there owners they just have a scent and when he seen that boy smile instantly like pure love animals can be good creatures how u treat them weather thell turn but animals have there own kingdom for aniamls god has his kingdom which is heaven for humans so animals and humans go to diffrent places when they die animals where sacrifies back in the day for food love animals though good ones bugs can die

Killed in 1989 - I don't think so!! He was on the TODAY SHOW today. I saw him live with my own eyes. You should be more careful what you put out there. What? He's dead? Oh, never mind. The lion should be put down , though, for safety's sake.
if u watch Christian the lion REUNION! HUG! it lasts for 6:38 u'll see that the one in yellow shirt taught Christian how to give big hug like that and Christian never forget that, and that made me cry harder !
I pray now that every one who has intentionally harmed, abused, abandoned or any other form of abuse, be forgiven. Please think about the actual inelect of an animal. They are more cognitive than given credit for.
There was another tearful reunion and another romp. The next day Christian walked back into the bush, where his lionesses were waiting. He was never seen again — but the power of the Internet guarantees he will never be forgotten.
But in 1974, Adamson lost touch with Christian for three months. When he told Rendall and Bourke, they decided to make one last trip to Kenya to try to say goodbye to their old friend.
This story took place over 35 years ago. Male lions in the wild usually can live for 12 years. This was a "real time" documentary. You can watch all 10 parts on youtube.
This is so touching! I had to go and watch the documentary about Christian that was uploaded by Irridescent. Took forever to watch because it's in 10 segments but so worth it!
Oh my God, Christian was killed? I didn't know that. Where did you read that? Crap, now I'm really crying. How horrible. I'm heartbroken. I agree with you, why can't people let the beauty in the world alone. How long ago was he killed? RIP Christian. :(
I am not sure where Jacquetee got that information. Christian was not killed. Adamson and two of his assistants were killed by poachers in 1989. Not the lion.
Thank you so much! I did hear about Adamson. That was awful news. Horrible. Damn Poachers. I sincerely appreciate you telling me this. I love animals and very much lions, tigers, etc. This story is so beautiful and to even fathom a tragic ending was heartbreaking to me. Thank you sooo much. You just put a big smile on my face, besides I do hope Christian is well. Actually I believe he is. :)
Christian wasn't murdered, George, who spent his life rehabilitaing lions, was. Did you see the photo at the end of the video of George and Christian? Christian is obviously much larger, older and has his full mane.
just like some of you I just saw this on the view. This was so heartwarming it really does prove that it dosent matter if its a whild animal or not as long as you show love and effection.
Christian was a special lions. All lions, and felines have different personalities, as do people. It's a wonderful story though. But, lions are wild animals, and grow into enormous creatures. Beautiful though they are, they should never be pets. Even though I would love that, I reluctantly respect the wild and would not be so selfish. This does not mean those two men were selfish, after all Christian was sold like furniture from Harrod's!!?? Sheesh.
I saw this on the view also and couldn't stop crying. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. True love of animals cannot be described in words. People can now acctually see for themselves what it is like.
just saw this video on the veiw, once i got done crying i had to look it up. its such an amazing video. this lion loves you two! you and this lion both are blessed to know each other and to share this experince
Wow,incredible victory of love over nature.

The man in the yellow shirt also seems to be Christian's sort-of favorite.

I pray now that every one who has intentionally harmed, abused, abandoned or any other form of abuse, be forgiven. Please think about the actual inelect of an animal. They are more cognitive than given credit for.

There was another tearful reunion and another romp. The next day Christian walked back into the bush, where his lionesses were waiting. He was never seen again — but the power of the Internet guarantees he will never be forgotten.

read the whole story...A last farewell
But in 1974, Adamson lost touch with Christian for three months. When he told Rendall and Bourke, they decided to make one last trip to Kenya to try to say goodbye to their old friend.

I just can't stop the tears flowing. Unconditional love is a blessing I hope every person gets to experience once in their life.

This story took place over 35 years ago. Male lions in the wild usually can live for 12 years. This was a "real time" documentary. You can watch all 10 parts on youtube.

This is so touching! I had to go and watch the documentary about Christian that was uploaded by Irridescent. Took forever to watch because it's in 10 segments but so worth it!

I can only hope that the men that killed Christian got justice from his beloved lions..
what a sad tragedy, why can't people let the beauty in the world alone?

Oh my God, Christian was killed? I didn't know that. Where did you read that? Crap, now I'm really crying. How horrible. I'm heartbroken. I agree with you, why can't people let the beauty in the world alone. How long ago was he killed? RIP Christian. :(

I am not sure where Jacquetee got that information. Christian was not killed. Adamson and two of his assistants were killed by poachers in 1989. Not the lion.
lokilokd 3 years ago
Thank you so much! I did hear about Adamson. That was awful news. Horrible. Damn Poachers. I sincerely appreciate you telling me this. I love animals and very much lions, tigers, etc. This story is so beautiful and to even fathom a tragic ending was heartbreaking to me. Thank you sooo much. You just put a big smile on my face, besides I do hope Christian is well. Actually I believe he is. :)

Christian wasn't murdered, George, who spent his life rehabilitaing lions, was. Did you see the photo at the end of the video of George and Christian? Christian is obviously much larger, older and has his full mane.

just like some of you I just saw this on the view. This was so heartwarming it really does prove that it dosent matter if its a whild animal or not as long as you show love and effection.

Christian was a special lions. All lions, and felines have different personalities, as do people. It's a wonderful story though. But, lions are wild animals, and grow into enormous creatures. Beautiful though they are, they should never be pets. Even though I would love that, I reluctantly respect the wild and would not be so selfish. This does not mean those two men were selfish, after all Christian was sold like furniture from Harrod's!!?? Sheesh.

I saw this on the view also and couldn't stop crying. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. True love of animals cannot be described in words. People can now acctually see for themselves what it is like.
