Christian the lion in England and Africa

I am proud of the role I had in bringing Christian the lion to the world's attention, by creating the first web page about him way back in 2002. This video is a combination of the two clips I had on my page. The first shows Christian and Ace Bourke when they were still in England. Then comes the famous reunion video after Christian had spent a year in Africa. There is no sound here because I really didn't think it was necessary--the pictures speak for themselves.

The address of my site is in the video. Click on the Christian the Lion button to see the page about him.

how old does a lion get

[iamstillmyself]

@MultiRipper88 Individual lions and circumstances vary, but you can figure around 10 years in the wild and 20 years in a protected environment.

How Wonderful, amazing and touching. Must be so touching to see an animal friend again after so long... and it looks like his female mate was fine with them, AWESOME!
