Christian the Lion reunited with upbringers EXTRA

2 people raised this lion who they named Christian. He got too big and the government said it was too old to be in a domestic area so they decided to release him to a wildlife reserve. It had been over a year and experts said the lion will have no recollection of his upbringers

I saw the full length story on TV. What a remarkable, loving relationship between man and beast. It truly touches the soul and one I will not forget.

Stop with all the sad faces!!! At the end Christian grows and has a family of his own :) watch the full story........even though it is sad when the other lion died...

@germandude76 everyone knows that already, the beautiful part of the story and the point of it is that they were told the lion would have no recolection of them, but he rememberd the love he got from them and never forgot

I wish I could get a hug from a lion.

Big thanks to Virginia McKenna and her husband Bill Travers who played Joy & George Adamson in the epic film "Born Free." They had a hand in getting Christian to George in Africa. They were so moved by working with the lions they began to champion the cause and dedicated the rest of their lives to these magnificent animals.

you know you're badass when a pride of lions accepts you as one of their own

The old guy was George Adamson and was well known for hand rearing Elsa the LIon Cub George and Joy did warn the men that Christian may not recognise him. If a trained zoologist doesn't know that George had sucessfully hand reared elsa and reintroduced her into the wild and he was well respected in Kenya for protection of the said species

this just gave me goosebumps cause i share the same last name as the guy at the end.....on a lighter note at the beginning of the vid i felt like austin powers when he couldnt control the sound of his voice when i was reading the caption=)
