Christian the Lion & the owners! after 35 years. Watch them.

[TheJennaAndKelly]

Now I want a lion!

[AgainstDeleteOfVideo]

i tot it was 10 years?

[gegisako]

oh, so they did came back A YEAR AFTER CHRISTIAN was released, pretty short time for someone to forget something so special to them

[SuperNewYawker]

I love this..makes me so sad that so many lions and tigers are in captivity. This to me proves they can go back. They never taught Christain to hunt . He "knew" what to do

[kewlbreez77]

She asks: "I wonder if Chrisian is still alive?" What? It's approaching 40 yrs since he was last seen, and he was fully grown then; think lady! Lions don't have a human's life span! In '74 he was already at least 5 yrs old, the average life span of a lion in the wild is 16 yrs - Google it; that ole boy would be darn near 50 by now!Even in captivity, the ave. life span of a lion tops off around 30! She's not in command of any facts. Gotta do your do diligence.

[gegisako]

@kewlbreez77 i did google it, and the life span of a lion tops around near 30, who know maybe he's a fertilizer now

[Noahdidntbuildtheark]

this makes me cry and i didn't even cry at free willie

[Noahdidntbuildtheark]

@geuser1979 you so funny. not

[geuser1979]

@Noahdidntbuildtheark its only a joke lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[geuser1979]

@Noahdidntbuildtheark why have your balls dropped

[mischiefmuttntx]

Y'all have been my most favorite lion story since the beginning of MY time... I have & always will love y'all for what y'all did for Christian!!!

[leGianflavio]

._. i thought the blonde one was a girl this whole time?

[SebSeb366]

Just watched this with my son and was touched to the core... beautiful... tears of joy... the only thing though that dampened my emotions slightly was the 'Whitney' theme I'm afraid, not the right one for me...

[slavepageant]

where can I buy a lion?......haha!!!!!

[Etergen69]

The most prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life.....;)...

[TheBurnzz123]

Really speaks to my heart Lolol

[khalidqand]

lovely

[DamnItsSoEnoying]

8 people cried so hard that they clicked the "dislike" button by accident.

[TheLaloFS]

how the fuck could this be fake?? stupid bitch...

[rossA09]

damn onions, who put them in front of me? lol but i nearly wanted to cry. such a lovely story. :)

[purplevolcano]

I probably saw Christian at Harrods in 1969 as my grandad took me there to see the cubs when I was a little girl.

Cats people, Cats....Amazing creatures....

[xxxxxxxxxyyyyxxxxxxx]

This hippies managed to turn a lion into a gay lion :)

[tristynleos]

Neither of these guys have died from AIDS yet?

[HTTS76]

@tristynleos that's uncalled for

[tristynleos]

@HTTS76 I dont think anybody asked you. So why dont you shut the fuck up and go make some more faggot videos of your ugly fucking dogs

[HTTS76]

@tristynleos It's only one dog and if you can't appreciate this video then why don't you get lost and keep your troll comments to yourself.

[HTTS76]

@tristynleos You're American, I already thought so, considering the way you speak to other people online.

[tristynleos]

@HTTS76 Lol. Do Americans really come off as rude to people from other countries?

[HTTS76]

@tristynleos Well, in your case, yes. And you only prove the stereotype we have of Americans to be true. Of course this isn't the case with every American, we all realise that. But we have a certain view of you lot and your comments don't help you any. If I would've called you names in my comment then your reaction would be understandable, dut I didn't, so it's not.

[britnee2469]

@tristynleos Ha ha ha! Are you kidding me? The RUDEST country and most self-righteous and self-absorbed. Known for not being very open-minded or smart

[IDKdoIneed1]

@britnee2469 Funny you know the site your using right now was created by 3 rude and moronic Americans. 

[superLightsource2000]

prejudice.

[rRaaaNn]

I think what's really sad is that humans being of the same (excuse my language) fucking species rarely feel this kind of love towards one another.

[Dpataueg3449]

wow amazing by

III-BSBA-2

[Reconisvengeful]

i laugh everytime i see this

[canilgrandwolf]

Linda história de amizade, amor .... quando o amor é verdadeiro, tudo é pssível!!

[Ray2DaJay]

[DR1V3N2MADNESS]

7 ppl jelly that they dont have a pet lion

[MsDUSTOFANGEL]

This makes me cry it's so cute!

[The4bell]

makes me believe in real love

[parfumeria33ro]

3:35 -- where did the reporter see any Bentley? I mean, I'm no Mercedes fan, but I doubt there's anyone on this planet that doesn't recognize that sign on the back of the car.

[NotAPartOfYourSystem]

@AdolphHitlerFTW your attempt at trolling has failed. It's so obvious that it doesn't work.

[OrtonCenaHBatistaFan]

That's fucking beautiful.

[Stokijs2]

my kitty just died :(

[SuperPrincessvanessa]

i cant stop looking at the video so emotional i cried ....love animals, thanks for John & Ace saving him

[cabalfan800]

I want a pet lion....

[princess21700]

that a very cute lion, im crying inside

[sarathalapad]

Ooh did I cry! Wonderful

[TheDamo2001]

This is such a beautiful Story, i cry everytime i see it, it shows that the love of man to animal has no limits, it is awesome. My family has 5 cats, 4 of them are kittens, the adult cat (Fatty) does the same head snuggle that Christian does and i love it everytime. Even when he eats, i watch him and get close to him and he snuggles my face. This sort of love between animal and man is nothing less than amazing and a miracle. AWESOME STORY!!!

[AZgirl7]

That kitty love his daddys - if you REALLY wanna see a TOTALLY HEARTBREAKING MOVIE about an animal loving his owner, you should see Hatchi the movies stars Richard Gere and is BRUTAL but completely awesome

[axel310]

@AZgirl7 Its to sad :( cries like a baby everytime i see it

[RSK10580]

@AZgirl7 ... that really is a heart breaking movie!

[midlinejs]

Awsome



[rohullah79]

[bluepeas510]

Well Christian is in Lion heaven roaming free by Gods side considering its been 35 yrs ..my nose is plugged up from laughing and crying so hard at his amazing blog (link posted under one of these Christian YouTube videos) such a touching story!

[prinze212]

[hustlecue84]

man!!! i cried!! so touching...remind me of my loving cat ...died in 2010

[MiiMaker101]

6 people got eaten by the lion

[Raxus007]

@MiiMaker101 if those 6 ppl who disliked got eaten by a lion, how the hell did they disliked????? WTFFFFFFFFF

[DizturbedFan]

@Raxus007 HEY HAD LAPTOPS!... xD

[MJGir21]

[MultiBoy1980]

[yesanna2001]

@ivanerick2012 uhh yea i know i kinda messed up

[lordphil456]

quote : "Animals are beautiful people"

[nafethamuss]

I've seen several incarnations of this video, with most making a reference to God and refering to this as a "miracle".....wonder if those people realise these dudes are totally gay.

[CollegeGrl2015]

beautiful story

[feyenoordolf]

my eyes are iching thats all.

[TheRittyl]

@AthiestMonster You bastard. Fuck you

[AtheistMonster]

@TheRittyl

@SourpatchXF

Oh did I strike a nerve? What's even funnier is that whatever was left of him (guts, brains, genitals) were torn apart by scavengers and shit out the next day.

[littlesporeling]

@AtheistMonster What a douche =/

[AtheistMonster]

He's probably someone's rug or mantle piece now... Try to wrap your head around that...

[SourPatchXF]

@AtheistMonster HOW COULD U SAY THAT U ARE A BASTARD FOR SAYING THAT!!!!

[waverlymike]

who the frig are the 6 people that disliked this?? you fail as humans.

[bakonize]

@waverlymike they r not Human they don't have a heart and it's obvious don't know what love is

[rachelyohan]

this healed my grieving heart...hope to reunite with you Steward(my cat that went missing 2 years back)...some day.Great job John and Anthony.

[palmkvist100]

LOVE THIS STORY :o)

[veroohkimsoon]

its so touching,...

[ONEHONESTHEART]

see a little kindness..he never forgot them..animals do have souls..

[alooni12]

Thumbs up if you prefer " MARIAH CARRY - EVERY TIME YOU NEED A FRIEND "As a music Theme .

[yesanna2001]

[Wassenhoven420]

[horsecrazylady1814]

I love this so much, I never get tierd of seeing this.

[MsBitsay]

Amazing.... simply amazing story!

[Jahna05]

4:35 paw whatch out xD ! (keep smiling though) :) 

[dellgriff82]

CGI 

[meleght]

i love this happy story. i love animals and I wish all humans and animals can live in peace together.

[Wurmo]

Does this lady not get that they are not British.

[Reip187]

Why isn't there a movie about this yet?

[ericjn1980]

@Reip187 there is

[awesometico]

@Reip187 thats man made this is natural

[bracesrockgirl]

@Reip187 there was a movie about it a long time ago

[Marasma101]

@Reip187 Kinda hard to develop this sort of bond between an actor and a lion in a matter of months I'd assume.. But they would just use CGI anyways

[cleearify]

@Reip187 because no lion could possibly ever portray this ...this...uh...lion of unimaginable acts :) aka love

[MrJhonnyRed]

i could watch this video 1.000.000 times and i'll be still smiling when the lion runs to them, like as he was thinking ''hey, my best friends came back for me!''

[singoutlouies]

love this .. whats even more intresting is the two men out lived many str8 married couples...35years wow!! good for them

[turellsolution]

5:28 pause

[MrLeooreo]

WOW. CRYING.

[oddlyreasonable]

This sure beats those vile hunting videos.

[ibeliveification]

That Lion was special. Animals do remember. If you show an animal love, it will return it ten fold. Wild, or not,

[CapedBanana]

@ibeliveification vagina

[CultureAfficionado]

Perfect song pairing w/ footage better than any movie! As a "Mary Poppins," my conviction that deposits made still live on is reaffirmed. Shocking 2/3 lions decimated, but good that Christian's genes live on. Wildlife fund and school mentioned, for donation. Let's all make the effort to show more kindness :)

[IMurderdTheDevil]

I am one of the toughest men on the planet and this vid broke me..

[theamberco]

@shiasROCK you do not belive that I have a lion or that lion playing is very dangerous? I know your country and goverment lies all teh time but I am european and never lie, not reason to do it and less here dumb ass!

[susanannemiller]

i wish that john and anthony could read this for this is the most important video yet as there are many many hidden statements in this!! i cried like most when seeing the lions reaction upon seeing you guys after a year. its not about looks, this love..its not about what you have materially nor money.. its about deep seeded love from the heart and soul. this world needs to learn from you. thankyou so much for sharing this.it touched my heart much more than i can say. i send you love. susan

[susanannemiller]

[xoNickJisaCutieox]

he doesn't even acknowledge the one with brown hair LOL

[ty1977]

@xoNickJisaCutieox maybe cause the brown haired guy receives and so the lion assumes that the blonde one is the alpha

[xoNickJisaCutieox]

@ty1977 what do you mean receives? you mean is submissive?

[ty1977]

@xoNickJisaCutieox that too, i ment hes he may the bitch in there relationship cause there obviusly gay

[maryzaint]

Great video. But will someone please kill that horrific song! They kept playing it over and over! What the hell!!!!

[JJ3792]

it's true friendship and love that keeps us all together in this world

[theamberco]

At the present I have a pet lion 4 months old and it is the same but even playing you can sometimes get scrached and bruised by only 45 pounds lion.

[shiasROCK]

@theamberco yeah and im chuck norris

[joelslover93]

Who on earth disliked this video?!?!?!

[shiasROCK]

@joelslover93 ppl who dont like loving

[sexykatie90]

[SuperDiamond1961]

<333333

[emnem100]

thank you so much for uploading this!! its not available in Canada on the today show website and i've been scanning the internet for this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[campcoskuro]

that reminds me of my old cat we lost. I wished on a star every night and 2 years later my mom found an article in the paper about a cat for adoption. sure enough it was her. we only knew because my cat had a scar from her `boyfriend`` that ruffled the fur at the base of her tail. she got hit by a transport aperantly and THAT`S why she never came home. she couldn`t remember. We went to get her and she actully remembered me! i was like blubbering. XD RIP, Mittens. Mommy luvs you!

[MrCombatarmsVideos]

@campcoskuro D: sorrry for ur cat mittens :( thats sad D:

[crcausey]

God.... I want my ShepXBlacklab of 12 years, Sauron, back - he's now been gone 22 years... This video brings up tons of memories and emmotions.

[momohereagn]

Nothing spontaneous about it! BEAUTIFUL!!!! :)

[momohereagn]

Nothing spontaneous about it!  BEAUTIFUL!!!! :)

[0209kingeli]

it touch me so much....

[2001lateralus]

that would be so funny if the lion turned out to be gay. "and christian even introduced them to his fag lover" lol!

[mrflyer107]

my tears , my tears

[van3k3]

I saw this on Life Unexpected, the new show on C4...and i thought it was made up! This is just amazing!

[whittypauga]

this is truly amazing.

[swiftshaw]

cracking film screeching music spoils it

[maritaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

omg

[MegaFuckbuddy]

he should be called Captain insano cuz hes insanely kind.

[marsk4angel]

so it is possible, thank u..only whitny does not belong here, but the original singer, her voice would be more appropiate, she sounds compassionate and fragile, like this story.. yelling does not make music, cold and freezing

[heyheyhey857]

christian reminds me of religion and remember god wants us to run up to him like little 5 year old kids would too no matter how old you are...i dont wanna be random but lol yeah :)

[imadokieve13]

It sucks when you have such a good friend like that and then life makes you guys seperate then its time to say farewell thats the worse part of life =(

[lorenzV]

I wish someday we stop criticizing each other, hating each other, fault finding... which you could see in every video comment in youtube... By then this home we called Earth would be a better place to live... with peace, love and harmony.

[PuganPoo]

Sad how animals spend their lives in the Circus. Beaten into submission to do unnatural acts. Never feeling the grass between their feet. but only the whip of the trainer.

Lovely Story,that someone cared so much about an animal.

[reeubeen]

what a beautiful thing thanks

[13pajovich]

Like a wise man once said: "all u need is love, love, love, love is all u need"

[qbalfrog]

Why do American newscasters have to take a story and "wrap it up" with inane and moronic talk? btw - I am not a Pom, Canadian, nor Aussie who is bashing the States, I'm an American who just thinks, "omg, the world must think we're all idiots here if all they know is American television"

[ITayGunna]

My all time favorite!

[chblazer]

love.love.only love

[eguonoagofure]

wow!!!!!D Power of Love......Love really supersedes all things......humans shd learn 4rm dis

[xerixz]

Fucking heartless 4 dislikers! How can a people not like this video??!!

So touching..

This two man proves that if u have a heart u can be friend with wild animal as well!

LONG LIVE THESE TWO MEN! :)

[luxenfux]

Great story - buy the way these two guys must be lovers ... right? - not that that matters.

[Dixie1947]

Wow I cried too, this was so touching!!!!

[NorthmansChick]

I cry every single time I see this.

[calicom110]

@NorthmansChick fag

[NorthmansChick]

@calicom110 does that make you proud of yourself? Idiot.

[calicom110]

@NorthmansChick man any pet and master share this bond, its nothing new. you just cried cause of whitney houstons gay song......thats why i called you a fag...fag.

[NorthmansChick]

@calicom110 you're calling me that like it should hurt me? You are so awesome.

[bonesdoc11]

What a great story. I've watched a few of these about Christian and each one leaves me speechless.

[MrYangFang]

I do not have a pet lion, but i have a dog and I love my dog.i am going to hug my dog now before its too late.

[metaldragonwarrior]

@MrYangFang i wished i had the change to do it. i had to go to school that day and when i woke up that day my father was walking with the dog. when i came home i asked what happened and then my mother was crying before i asked it already and then i was crying a whole week in my sleep. i felt like i lost my own brother and i didnt even had the change to hug him a last time

[TheCocobana]

And how fortunate are John and Ace to know this wonderful and charismatic lion always loved them - they always had a place in his heart. To see this absolutely gorgeous young lion playing ball in the park, the paw on the shoulder - the look in his eyes with the young boy, emptying the chest of drawers - this magnificent lion in the furniture shop and the final journey to Africa - and what has made a hit throughout the world - the reunion - the meeting of great friends. Magnificent -.

[zuperpaintmanxl]

How does it come that they can have a 900lbs Lion on ther shoulders?I love this video

[grasmaker]

we have a dog that runs around in total exitement when we are gone for a hour and come back, i wish he should do this xD

[MegaKritz]

how could there be a 4 dislikes?????

people how dislike it have NO HEART!!!

[IxUNTOUCHBLExI]

I want a lion, I want a new born cub, grow up with it, send it back to Africa, and meet it. Just like they did. Maybe I could live in Africa with it :D

[Zisaar]

i cried, not for the lion thing. but for the old youtube layout ;(

the 7
