Christian the Lion - 2008 Australian Interview - 1st half

[raycodem]

Very touching no they are not Gay they are best friends that grow up toghter Very good guys with a heart of Gold.

[joedsavage]

This chick was really annoying with those interruptions otherwise nice video.

[DjNicolasNati]

are they a couple?

[NenitaTransex]

@DjNicolasNati I think so...they are gay...yeah¡¡¡

[DjNicolasNati]

@NenitaTransex nice nickname by the way



[rtj182]

the interviewer is really really bad, kept interrupting oh gosh

[sunshineandcosmo]

oh my gosh i cried at seeing this, but a wonderful cry

[peroperopero69]

got to fkin love aussies

[TheChrisrex10]

I love it how Christian was let into the wild. Because if you've seen the full video they did on him. It shows you and they tell you how he is now the king of his pride and has a wife and a baby son. It was so cool, It makes me sad every time I hear about him now.

[eligirl100]

now you can't hug ant other living thing like they hugged at 4:35 !

[TheCarlScharnberg]

What is the point of asking questions and then interrupt them while they're giving the answer?

[mountainserenity]

Ace and John are first-rate human beings for caring for Christian and then returning him to the wild under the tutelage of one who knew how to do it. My hat is off to all three of these men. No wonder Christian loved them so much!

[fsfgpowerrangers]

What blessed men! What memories!

[TheSilentVloggerX]

@ImAlriteGuy haha that's awesome

[luciofeitosa]

Gostaria de ver essa entrevista traduzida para o Brasil

[runebot300]

perdoname mi padre y te doy las gracias por todo lo que nos as dado

[ImAlriteGuy]

20 people tried the same thing but were attacked by christian.

[cherryhuai]

he is fully grown and huge even for a fully normal grown lion, because u guys did so well taking care of him when he was with you

[elphaphoenix]

Happy Contented is a double positive. Learn to speak english you idiots.

[trigz1seven]

stupid bitch STFU

[timmy2teef]

John and Ace = Legends

Kerri-Anne = A slag and a disgrace to Australia

[tiggerey12]

@LaChicaMasTerca *THE* :)

[tiggerey12]

@LaChicaMasTerca the *LION*

[TheUnreaI]

6:10

Lady: And lived happily

Ace: We don't know how long he lived for

...

[inception951]

@TheUnreaI lmao she just keeps on talking

[RedSandPalm]

i hate this bitch

[Jimzerrr]

God fuck you the guys that dislikes this vid!!

[stevelewis3]

@Jimzerrr I think most of the Dislikes are aimed at the way this interview was conducted. This lady is beyond her use by date and not very liked here in Australia

[taffysaur]

i just finished watching the movie Christian the Lion at world's end. i couldn't watch it all at once, i kept crying! it's a sad fuckin' movie, you just see the happy bit on youtube! but even THAT bit made me cry when i saw it in context! they're leving their friend!

also my kitty just died like two months ago and a lot of parts reminded me of her <=0(

[loranfrancisco31]

love dis

[dorvalina2007]

TRADUZAM POR FAVOR!

[Hal566]

The hostess is annoying as anything

[ModeLTU]

Stuff like these inspire me so much..

Animals may act on their instincts more than humans, but story like this shows that they are capable of so much more.Showing that sort of love towards humans wasn't out of pure instinctive affection to the people who fed him, he was already living in the wild and could survive on his own.

Just awesome

[jaysong87]

I think what he said about the differences between lions an tigers/leopards are true. Since lions are always in a pride/family, Christian very well made the guys, his family. Meanwhile tigers and leopards are more independent. I bet trainers get attacked because those guys don't show as much love as these guys did for their cub.

[StopTryingULookDumb]

@tampasux HAHA that's right, because lions go around loving everybody and everything right?! u fuckin' peta dumbass. wild animals are wild animals, and no animal shows as much compassion as a human being. dumb fuckin' fuck.

[KittyzKatterz]

@StopTryingULookDumb Do humans go around loving everybody and everything? Don't think so.

[StopTryingULookDumb]

@KittyzKatterz MORE THAN ANIMALS DO U STUPID BITCH

[KittyzKatterz]

@StopTryingULookDumb No we don't Lmao. We cause war and go around killing each other. I'm the stupid bitch? I think a fucking retard could figure that one out.

Animals>Humans

[StopTryingULookDumb]

@KittyzKatterz "we cause war and go around killing each toher' HAHAHAHAAH that's why ur commenting on a video where a LION is SAVED BY A HUMAN. OH SHIT. OH SHIT. wow, u, and you alone give women a bad name

[KittyzKatterz]

@StopTryingULookDumb Your point being? I don't understand your logic...Humans don't show more compassion or love more than animals, because human beings are animals. Human beings are destroying the earth, we kill each other, and we kill animals as well. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but your intelligence and lack of education of the English language gives the whole human race a bad name. Just like a redneck trailer trash dumb-shit that breeds with other dumb shits that can't comprehend.

[StopTryingULookDumb]

@KittyzKatterz sooooooooooooo if humans are animals than how the fuck are animals MORE compassionate than humans?! wtffffff wtffffff that's one hell of a dumb statement !! "sweaters are clothes, but clothes are more warm than sweaters" HAHAHHAH WTFFFFFFFF ur such a dumbass HAHAAHAH stop commenting honestly.

[KittyzKatterz]

@StopTryingULookDumb We are animals, but we don't have the same instincts as every type of animal you fucking moron. Some species eat nothing else but meat, some just eat plants. Some gather in herds, some have small groups, and some do not group at all. Some animals have thick coats of fur, some have small, and some are bare. We all have different ways of communicating as well. We're not all the same, I hope you can understand this...

And you call me a dumb ass? >.>

[StopTryingULookDumb]

@KittyzKatterz AHAHAHAHAHAHA OOOOOOH OKAYYYY. so basically you know nothing

[ScimasterFi]

@StopTryingULookDumb hmm not really. look at the world right now. i dont think you're right.. at all. and if animals don't go around loving everyone is because its in their nature.

[TheTorgrim90]

@ScimasterFi i think certain animals have their own personality and intelligence, and they act and react different ways :) 

[StopTryingULookDumb]

telepothy my ass ! stupid dumbass bitch. why is she even here, there's an empty kitchen somewhere.

[Illernolonger]

@RoonJazz

you wish there were more gay people?

[thetriptobountiful]

are the two men couple? kind couple

[satay242]

gays r very affectinate ppl, i guess it contributed to chrsitians behavior.

[maximoto275]

no animal deserves to be killed u bitch.

ps i'm talking about the interviewer!

[jannimeier]

I am so glad that I am not the only person who gets that animals are better than humans :)

[RoonJazz]

Decent men - wish there were more like them, with their good sense. And such a lucky lion, to have escaped the fate of so many wild creatures that suffered at human hands over the years.

[tiarnan76]

@RoonJazz what about the 99.9% of humans that adore and look after animals so well....no comment for that? You fucking cunt

[howhardgerrard]

Do you think he was in terms of Lion inteligence one of the brightest!!! what a question!!! how did this woman get her job (wait I dont want to know) does she also say after brightest...and unconcious?

[LovingPoontang69]

I miss the old days. You can buy a a lion from a department store and walk it down the street.

[Purplesoda876]

God bless people who really love and care for animals.

I hope Christian had a good life till the end of his life

[stevencprince]

20 zookeepers watched this video

[jadakiss228]

lol these guys are funny

[midorih04]

who is this two men?

[cheekyjayci]

@midorih04 the two men that adopted the freaking lion! -facepalm-

[midorih04]

@cheekyjayci i really dont know sorry ...jk jk

[Dano78229]

Sad the lion is dead now...that lion was amazing, n sad..

[lensgypsy]

The interviewer is biased towards animal 'wild' instincts. Whether the lion will attack depends on whether he has come across nasty people. Much is learned behaviour. Even so, he may still be friendly towards Ace and John. A lot of credit has to go to Adamson for easing Christian back to life in the wild.

[chipdirk91]

are these men gay, nothing against it, just curios

[grooverheliboy]

@chipdirk91 Yes and the lion is also gay !!

[chipdirk91]

@grooverheliboy Nooo, your bullshiting right..

[grooverheliboy]

@chipdirk91 Sorry yes I am !! The lion is actually a lesbian....post op tranny !!

[SuperNikki1]

@grooverheliboy you are sick.

[grooverheliboy]

@SuperNikki1 Sooner be sick,than DUMB !!

[lenhon14]

i will freak out if i saw my dad look after a lion in my home.

[Vakrian]

the fallowing convo must have happend at some time ''ahh evening johnson i see you are walking your lion'' ''yep he is getting to be a real big fellow'' ''that he is indeed''...now compare your life achivements to that do you messure up?

[silentfades]

did they ever come out as lovers ?

[lily1235]

THAT WOMAN MAKES ME MAD!

[ernieernie]

@lily1235

I'd still bang the crap out of her....

[luc649]

ummm...we called him Christian cos his anscestors ate so many of them...only for entertainment of course.

[Razersun]

@luc649

Best comment here.

[dzillathekilla]

1:56 <3

[GMdark11]

:D Christian said SHOW THE LOVE their my friends and I'll love them forever and ever happiness to sadness

[qetbacc]

if only people were like christian, remember there friends after a year of not seeing them -___-

[alZiiHardstylez]

wooow, natural instincts must stick in for that transistion from london to africa..

sooo epic

[ruvik0985]

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE "CHRISTIAN THE LION MOVIE". THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL LESSON IN THIS STORY AND THAT IS LET US SHARE OUR "LION HUG" TO EACH AND EVERYONE WE LOVE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE."

[krysjen7]

is Christian still alive? he's so cute! XD

[SiegfriedRatel]

@krysjen7

No, max 15 years, so, he died at least 25 years ago.

[schwingpurpz420]

thos dudes have to be gay

[markserjeant]

@schwingpurpz420 Why?

[kimishim]

I love seeing animals and humans bonding so strongly :')

[kimishim]

Animals are so sweet. Why can't humans be like this?

[janett167]

@kimishim makes you question "who are the real animals..."

[kheian09]

I cant stop crying...... very Inspiring,.... hope all people like them...

[pinaypieish]

so true

[pinaypieish]

very inspiring.. im so proud to those people who do take care of Christian.. i never thought that a wild animal like a lion can interpret to human like that.. im following this story of yours.. ill be waiting for the next episode... keep us update. thank you and Godbless (Ace, Jhon, Boy, George & Christian.. :))

[volvotobbe]

i love this lion !! And those guys are so kind !

[60BloodyChamp60]

I'm glad to see additional info and updates on ole Christian as years have passed.

[deadmanavir]

NONONONO .. even if the lion was FUCKING hungry, he would have never harm them.

[mommadoodoes]

this is the best thing i have ever seen

[Artas1984]

Lions and Gepards are the most easy-to-domesticate cats..

[dirtyplaya]

i want a lion

[jeffersonironman]

This is Great & lovely story!

[ilikeshaycarlphame]

I love Christian the Lion, because he's never going to forget. And I totally believe that animals have feelings. I just don't understand why peoplle in asia have the balls to ever eat, kill such animals because it's like you're killing yourself everytime you do it.

[sarawrbp]

@ilikeshaycarlphame you sound unbelievably racist. Do Americans not eat beef? Pork? Chicken?

for future reference, people don't need input from illiberal witless retards like you.

"because it's like you're killing yourself everytime you do it"

[ilikeshaycarlphame]

@sarawrbp yo dude i don't mean to be racist because i'm asian.. I just don't like how the asians (and you know what i mean by asians) kill the dogs and stuff for food...you are killing yourself though, because wenever you do it you get desensitized to killing the animal. i'm sure if you gave a five year old a knife and a chicken they won't go chasing it around trying to kill it. So do you see where i'm coming from you fuck face.

[b3njios]

@ilikeshaycarlphame you being Asian doesn't mean anything. The dieing tradition is only kept alive in small rural towns of China/Korea because "vegans" like yourself love to invade other cultures and force your SUPERIOR ideals upon their beliefs. I don't like the idea of eating dogs but that does not give me the right to trample over someones else's culture because i don't like it. If killing is wrong you should take a step back and look at your own society and what's on their plates.

[darke6gle]

@ilikeshaycarlphame hahaha not even one asian is going to say i'm asian

it's more likely to say i'm russian ore chinees etc...

but not a countinant it's just to global

and iff your asian wat happend to your pigment on your video's your as white as snow

second your profile says your from canada and don't think about saying that's not real. cause why would there be staircase written on the wall in english???

[blacktheory]

@ilikeshaycarlphame but people all over the world kill animals as well. And dont condemn the whole continent lol i think its just china that does shit to dogs and cats and stuff

[elzbieta52]

Ace, you looked so good with long, blonde hair!

[reaperette]

I hope Christian the lion lived a great life. If he's still alive, I hope he's happy. If not, I hope he had a good experience with these two kind guys.

[Foreverpac]

lets preserve this magic, and in time we might be instinctually known by the animal kingdom as their bestfriend, not their enemies.

[Foreverpac]

this human-animal relationship is but a glimpse of a destiny thats failing to be fulfilled, where humanity takes care of this earth that birthed life. with our great potential imagine the world we could live in, no drama, no war, no diseases, no anxiety stress or any bullshit we see today. and yet we give in to our temptations turning our god given gift as a curse which plagues this planet. sad world.

[TheSaka24]

Real love between humans and animals never ends...its just...when they are together their life is filled with happiness

Never...never push a TRUE friend away from you...remember that guys

Thumbs up for Christian and friendship

[nnmmert]

hab kein ton

[danymazbarros]

Its wonderful to see this movie.. That shows how wonderful it is our GOD Two of his creation together showing all the world how we are suppose to be. I love it.

[paretani4ever]

look at look at they are friends !!! i love this people and this animal because they love it .... it is fantastic

[wetmar41]

As vezes os 'especialistas' se acham donos da verdade.Mas esta história vem nos mostrar,que quando os animais amam e são amados, eles não esquecem.Maravilhosa esta história.Parabéns.

[Gatosaenz]

he likes the blonde guy better lol..sad

[zeppelinfanatic100]

@Gatosaenz Christian obviously liked jumping on the blonde guy, as Christian had different habits with each person. Obviously jumping on a person in a lion embrace is striking to watch on camera, that is probably why we see so much footage of it. BUt I'm sure Christian was just as affectionate with the dark haired guy in other ways.

[ponzier]

@derrenbrown100......we believe what we believe you believe what you believe. Back off

[thanuja48]

wake up you dreamers!!! survival of the fittest, christian was killed like a chicken by the other lions, if these two jokers waited around till he was a mature lion he would have killed them, like his partner boy who killed 2 humans, lions are animals, no soul , only wants tu fuckk and eat, will piss on your dead mothers grave, get a life you dreamers,

[Budhabe]

@thanuja48 no soul wtf hahaha wake up turd this is 2010 !!

[huckster699]

@thanuja48 So desperate for attention that you will settle for negative attention. lol

[Restaurador35]

@thanuja48 Oh, oh ....You are an unknown descendant of Darwin ; I feel embarrased of myself cause I didn´t know. Please , mr genius , explain to me why G. Adamson´s grown up lions followed him till his death (by the way , he got killed by furtive hunters with a soul ) If you are an example of soul-holder , I wish I become a lion or a donkey . We´ll provide ourselves lives , but how will you manage to get a brain and the ability or gift of "feeling " without racionalist prejudice.

[PAPASCHICCEN]

i love this, my pastor at the dream center introduced us to this, the msg? love has no boundaries!!!

[DerrenBrown100]

@PAPASCHICCEN fuck religion!

[kuggye]

I love this,ppl think that animals are not to be trusted but ppl are those who don't desirve to be trusted.Animals would never harm you for no reason,they are pureharted and beautifull,we are just to much of a humans to understand that.Love this,love ,love ,love!!!

[Rickster244]

cant hear anything

[natassia5491]

how beautiful!

[vasyapurtov]

почему без звука?

[inxs96]

the history...can't find the second part though

[iHtun101]

no doubt the lion was smarter this female...

[cutiekiska]

@iHtun101 LMAO

[lethal337]

@iHtun101

Makes no sense you moron hahaha.

[madda2]

@iHtun101 I have to say that you do not know much about lions. HE was the head of a Pride. Female of the species cannot Head a Pride. Sorry for the let down!

[amxrtdket]

George Adamson is such a great man. Heshould be appreciated more for what he did for these animals.

[LaurenBurton92nd]

this lady is a dum ass

[Oldskooljessica]

At least she can spell. Dumbass.

[ignitionrod]

Does this idiotic woman mean that everything from Africa is wild? She is an arsehole idiot.Look at what wild Europeans and

americans have done to the planet.Tell me who is more primitive and wilder.

[Oldskooljessica]

That;s it douchebag, look for something negative to say. Moron.

[drvishwasaxena]

love they say is a humane feeling but look at the contrast how beast is showering its love much intense and much selfless then any humancould show .Kudos for chrstian o loving lion! hale! hale for spreading love so imposing ly when it is fading among humans.

[PAULLONDEN]

Beware...don't do this at home.

Born again Christians are not to be trusted ; ]

[8969171]

F*** off all f you haters out there!!! Nowadays the world is messed up!! The animals have bigger heart than us stupid Humans!!!! that lion was grown up in a different environment so of course he rememberd them. not like some fucking ppl and read it in reader's digest u ignorant..sighs*

[youssefm]

@8969171

LOl ur so right!

[JM4EDR]

@8969171, God bless you for telling it HOW IT IS.

Humans SUCK, animals RULE but are abused and destroyed by the evil, selfish, ignorant humans.

WE deserve to be extinct, not animals.

[maximoto275]

@JM4EDR well most of us!!!

[LASTMAN024]

What the fuck, you really think that lion is nice?

[manbotwe1]

kenya!! kenya!!!...he was taken to kenya!!...NOT Africa, as if it were a country!!! stop refering to africa as if it were a country!!!

[cccxxxc]

i was under the impression that kenya was in Africa. Fairly accurate to say that he was taken to africa then...

[MrReissybaby]

your mommys been giving me plenty of attention (:

[MrReissybaby]

ohh your hard, getting mouthy over the internet, since your the one talking about touching the mans balls, your talking like the pedo. get an education, maybe a job if your old enough, your a 10 year old faggot spending far to much over the internet, gobbing off because your behind your computer screen, hope you speak to the wrong person and they beat the shit out of you! GOB SHITE!

[rawisericho]

Well considering this happened in 1973 and you're a 14 year old virgin with a penchant for shitty spelling I'd say no.

[124580b]

As you see the lion didn't forget his friends.Not like some stupid people,they doesn't care about humanity at all.The people are killing each others for bloody shit reasons....

[BattousaiHimura03]

@124580b Man, that Lion is an animal that deserves respect and admiration, and how he remembered who raised him shows that animals have consciousness, memory and personality... if I were those 2 guys I'd completely cry 'till I fell apart

And is a shame that humanity is doomed by its own hands... we're destructing ourselves

[G9PitBull]

@124580b

best comment i  seen on youtube

[warriorownagekk]

@124580b Thats so true that it makes me cry..

[redlightning007]

@124580b That animal put in one side his instics to put afriendship in that place,to always say thnkyou to the ones that help him,if the people do this not of tha mayor world problems would happen

[NateH1337]

@124580b You realize lions kill each other all the time right?

[rafylabala12]

@124580b thats why animals are more inteligent then some humans cuz i know there are stilll good friends around cuz i know but yea

[DarthVaderFTW]

go in on english wikipedia and read the true fact about this lion,before reunion

[rawisericho]

What the hell are you talking about?

[allgud100]

I wish she would shut up and let the guys tell their story.

[vituxolino]

Please translation in portuguese!

thanks

[Myrthexxxxx]

yes is he died?

[Gamer4life1123]

@Myrthexxxxx They adopted christian in the 70´s lions usualy age up to 20 or maybe 25 years old. so yes he is dead. but he'll remain alive in our mind and out hearts. cause that footage shows there realy is something between humans and animals.

[DarthVaderFTW]

@Gamer4life1123 Christian the lion is just the afterbirth of this life,a sneaky little bastard is all he is

[dataone077]

did christian died????

[montelka]

yap, long time ago

[Fonzi79]

He loved Ace more.. They say cats usually pick one they are more connected with... That's amazing that Christian came back a day before they guys came and did it twice!

[DF13NatalRN]

Please, translation this interview for portuguese.

thanks.

[bodomita]

English is not the only language in the world, "dumbass"...He has complete right to ask for a portuguese translation.

[Nintendo0Genesiso]

he just said he needs translation and your speaking to him/her in english...whos the dumbass? u faggot face
