  • @tuktukskagal How did he die?

  • This movie is about what happened to MARA the lion ..another of Georges lions! I need to find this

  • made me smile :) thanks

  • THis is so..AMAZING....2 dislikes :D

  • AMAZING

  • On 20 August 1989, the 83-year-old Adamson was shot to death at Kora Reserve by Somali bandits when he went to the aid of a tourist.

  • @suddenlyitsobvious Elsa was the smallest and that was why they kept her (and probabally because she was the calmest.) Although George believes it might have been easier to free Elsa if she had her siblings. And you may be right about the whole idea of her immune system being stronger if her mother hadn't died, but that is many years ago and it has already happened.

  • beautiful he was a really good guy ... respect ...

  • @crystalwolf2006 It was not his job to kill lions as game warden. He shot the lioness as she was charging towards him = 'self defense'

    Elsa's sisters did end up in a Zoo- however thereafter especially George worked on rehabilitating Lions into the wild- sth no one until then had even tried !!

  • So beautiful and tender!
