@authenticTBs It seriously isn't that hard to figure it out, just type in some of the lyrics in Google and you can find the answer.

[alraheel7887]

[Niblie]

Aerosmith - I don't wanna miss a thing

[charlieano991]

lol

[poya1992]

This video rekindled my faith in humanity!

[TommyW88]

what is so touching is that it could annihilate a human in seconds, but it shows such affection. animals have feelings too...we should all remember that!!

[yxaiben]

hope every man who says that animals dont have feelings see this

[ino145]

@yxaiben I am a man, and I for one do say that Animals have feeling. I'm an Animal person and this just made me cry! It's so touching as one said. <333

[Chouldentfindanygood]

@yxaiben Every person who take part of there pets life and let the pets take part life do know this. Its the majority of brainfucked people who like to hunt and kill and just destroy all living creature that is the problem who are to ignorant to see this.

[kite4734]

i cried! lol this is the best vid

[devils2face]

@kite4734 lol me to also the secod time I watch the video

[UtahMike41]

This is a very heartwarming story. I wonder how Christian is doing now.

[MoniqueH99]

If Christian lived out his expected lifespan, he would have died around 1985. He was bought as a cub from a London department store (back when it wasn't illegal) in 1969.

[UtahMike41]

That makes sense. It is still a heartwarming story. I'm glad that Christian got to lead a happy, healthy life. If he has passed I hope that he knew how much these guys, and us, really love him.  RIP buddy!

[Niblie]

Dead

[stfudonnie]

reddit loves me!

[saga3282]

I cried when I saw this, now i know that real friends exist.... God bless that guys

[paolito777]

how sweet!

[ryanf54]

are these the seigfried and roy of lions?

[pncinter]

fake ,, impossivel criar um filhote num JK

[Plasser56]

I've been crying since I first watched ALL the videos in May of this year.

The greatest animal story of ALL time and the greatest lion that EVER lived.

[traveller1991]

what about aslan

[MrFrozenPeach]

nicest thing of all animals but somebody should make a fake of them being eaten for a laugh

[thetinygangsta]

so true

[Junije1]

I agree, just for teh lulz :D

[AnotherSchmoe]

Nice video. =))

Just shows that animals are smarter and kinder than people think. Obviously you don't want to approach a wild lion that has had no human contact, but still, it just goes to show.

[BIGGESTwestlifeFAN]

It´s beauriful. I have seen it like 10 times and I cry every time! So when I feel for crying I will see it!

Its beautiful.

[MissJagUR]

A beautiful story but don't try this at home folks or at a zoo! I've seen many lions rip other animals apart and eat them!

[batteribarn100]

ohhh... Goosebumps!

[NickThorsten]

i cried a bit over the keyboard!

[nitchiwowa]

It makes me so glad to see that ppl cried when they saw this. I didnt but I loved it also:D

[katieexkumbustionn]

okay...I've seen this four times and i cry EVERYTIME! its sooo heartwarming and proves that there IS some compassion still left in this world! :)

[borismuller86]

wow are there still people who've not seen this yet? kinda jealous, the first time you see it is so good!

[gayadiaries]

i cried .. gosh, it was beautiful !!

i honestly thought the lion was gonna bite them but boy, was i wrong!

[Texas101992]

*sniff* That was a beautiful, heart-warming, tear-jerking expirience. I think i'm gonna cry now *sniff*........

[xopriscillanatasyaxo]

*sniff* i criiiiiiied!!!!! hard..

[xboredBITCH]

I cried , I want christian to be my pet lion :\ !

[flameview]

I am crying , too ! What a life ...

[gameshowluvr86]

At 0:36, Christian was like... "OH, MY GOD!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU CAME TO SEE ME!!"

I'm crying right now. :.-)

[JaimeMusso17]

I crieddddd!

:D:D

[engmantastic]

[Halfbloodalchemist]

I CRIED!!!! OMG THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Amazing video!!!!! I love it

[SmileyCrossbones]

A lion cub in a London apartment...what kind of litter tray did they use?

seriously, this is beautiful. Lion hug... *sniff*

[rolltide872]

Christian the lion = epic win.

[iPepsiCat27]

This is the story:

In London, during the 60s, you were allowed to buy an exotic animal. So 2 men named Ace and John bought a lion, who they named Christian. After 8 months or so, the lion was getting too big for their apartment. They took him to Kenya, so that George Adamson could look after him. The 2 men returned after a year, and were told the lion would not remember him. The lion gave a long look at them, then the men called his name. Christian the Lion ran off to them, remembering them.

[cozicoops]

thats all explained in the video!!

[iPepsiCat27]

This video is NOT a fake. I even watched this whole story of it for an HOUR on animal planet and they did NOT mention anything about a guy in a suit. The story just touches me.

[bodioto]

dude... u rly think thats a guy in a suit? If u see an ACTUAL DOCUMENTARY they bought it and raised it.

[CGN666]

what did u smoke man??? dayum, u be trippin

[ApachePiL0T]

Wow, I'm a grown man and I'm sitting here just bawling my eyes out. Precious.

[michellemabellex3]

this made me cry!

[miraclegirl6]

I just watched the documentary on the Animal Planet!

[nationalsroc]

rolf the sound track was awesome

[kennethpace2]

Look for the whole special done on animal planet. He was released in Kenya one year before this reunion. A year after this reunion, they went back again and he was fully matured and remembered them but was much less enthusiastic. He hung around a few days then left and never came back to the preserve where he was released.

[ApachePiL0T]

Wrong, the second reunion wasn't filmed, and went like this.

Rendall describes the second visit he and George Adamson made(Without Bourke). We called him and he stood up and started to walk towards us very slowly. Then, as if he had become convinced it was us, he ran towards us, threw himself on to us, knocked us over, knocked George over and hugged us, like he used to, with his paws on our shoulders.

From wikipedia on the second reunion.

[mehoff88]

this is FAKE!!!! they did not release this lion. this whole video was filmed on a ranch. you dumb! yes i said YOU!

[brandonmbush8]

yo mama bitch ass muthafucka now you dont know where it was filmed at stupid dick head now yes i said YOU!

[LT51190]

you are soooo stupid, this is not fake, it was shown on the view, and is now part of the born free foundation, YOURE A FUCKING IDIOTTTTTTTTTTT

[jcsd929]

[Jayhart82]

[wesleywaring]

one of my friends has a book about lions but it was burnt in a fire and stunk of helecopters.

[annac0nda]

[OllyPolly17]

After my Mom and I stumbled across this video, I said "Mom, can we get a li-" And before I could finish, she said "NO!" Lol x Cute lion

[kaylatrivett88]

this gave me goosbumos! the cutest thing ever!!!!!

[luckslave]

Animals are far better than humans..

[Unstoppable911]

Sadly that Lion is dead now, He was nowheir to be found, they think some hunters found him and killed him after the video got released.... Sad Story

[FabulouslyNsync05]

Actually they said that they got told he hadnt been poached and that they thought it was great because he was one of the biggest lions around there

[sjfriend]

how do u know that? miserable sod

[debzuma]

This happened about 30 yrs ago. Lions don't live that long.

[invernal41]
