[@kaylenecory2509]

I have watched this doco many, many, many times! I am so in love with Christian, Ace & John. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marjorieverdrc7841]

I cry every time. Every time 🥰

[@doctorplas1]

John and Ace what a lovely legacy all 3 of you left. Thanks for the memories!!

[@mercuryangel9223]

Love this story. I was a wee child when this made world news. So glad Christian got to live his king lion life. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to let him go.

[@ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

Why hasn't this been made into a major motion picture?? This is the kind of stories the world needs right now.

[@deadpoo-poo4497]

One day.

[@lindab8397]

This is truly an amazing story. I am lucky to remember all of this from my childhood. It was such a big story then. The book on this amazing happening has actual photographs , it really is a book to treasure. And also george adamson's book called MY PRIDE AND JOY , is both brilliant, happy, and sad. It's a book you will never forget reading. Both John and ace had an experience of a lifetime . They will never forget the trust between man and lion. They were definitely the right people, at the right time, together with Bill and Virginia. Some one was looking down on them , and helping them all the way. I have a beautiful picture on my wall of george and Christian on a rock, it always brings a smile to my face.

It was a moving video, friendship of human and lion...

[@robinzill632]

Incredible I have a EATM degree from Moorpark and this behavior is one in a billion and a real tear jerker, thank you for sharing Larissa

[@kimt4512]

can't stop weeping. man beast. one of the other heartbreaking moments was when the 2 left him in kenya and they drove off. i am sure he was sad and knew it. but hopefully got distracted by his new friendships

[@anja1627]

Kim Tan Just goes to show that animals have feelings too. Whereas humans are cruel, greedy, and evil. I just detest poachers and hunters.

[@solomit1]

When they had first reunion with christian you can see the full power of love its universal connection between man and lion amazing to see

[@lynxievirginia569]

The moment when christian hid on his dads back. It is undeniable that he knew he will be protected by his dads. Very amazing

[@dominiqueparisi4618]

What a great story .. All lions should go back to Africa and gave there freedom back

[@KMBK77723]

This is such a beautiful story!

[@kevincharlottebalcobero8075]

it was really nice story.. heart touching

[@jessiejames7492]

hes so extra utterly cute. one animal photographer said lion cubs are the most cute animals. of course we may have our favs but yes they are one of the cutest but christian was extra cute

[@plumeria66]

He grew extra fur in England due to the cold climate. And he retained his baby spots even as he grew into adulthood. That is what makes him so unique. Plus his bond with Ace and John.

[@jessiejames7492]

@@plumeria66 yes. Adorable. !

[@banmaixanh9013]

It is a touching story

[@cybilleskitchen3798]

It may be hard for christian at first bec he was used to live a life so different fromt the wild.. He was a pet lion since he was still a baby

[@frankmayor5703]

Im in tears, christian the most loved lion.

[@stevenrivaldo6748]

AMAZING

[@anja1627]

What amazes me is that Christian was able to find his own pride once he was released into the wild. I mean he wasn't taught how to hunt, fight and live in the wild because as a cub he grew up in a different environment. I just hope he died a natural death and not in the poachers or hunters' hands. :(

[@deadpoo-poo4497]

Amen.

I am just sweating from my eyes.

[@Sai-rl8re]

When they finally left the lion after their 2nd visit I became so emotional

[@nehasundas1951]

Touched my heart ❤️ soo true

[@Kbenhamu]

one of the most beautiful and touching stories ive ever seen. I cried a lot haha. hopefully they 3 will reunite again

[@debbiesimmons4980]

I have kept up on the lion. It was the beast thing. You guys did the big guy a chance. Bless you. Is he still alive.

[@robmckennie4203]

Christian hiding behind the humans is so sweet, this enormous killing machine, hiding behind humans for protection.

[@amandaavelino8362]

so cute

[@mellowandme9762]

You. Are asom

[@lesliemcdaniel3263]

PRICELESS

[@cybilleskitchen3798]

His environment was pretty different frm the wild. He was a lion pet.. I hope he did survive n the wild

[@chinemagpayo6756]

ngayon ko lang to napanuod dahil na-curious ako sa mga comment sa tiktok .. grabe yung connection ni christian the lion at ng dalawa nyang owners 🥰❤👍 .. nakaka touch yung story nila 💞💕

I have had this book it is beautiful.

[@reyjaygonzales7047]

what a beautiful story ..

[@adikatseegii4707]

Christian is one in million ❤

[@michaelradice12]

I’m literally crying and it’s just a majestic story how a gazelle eating creature isn’t always what we think it is and that to never judge a book by its cover. Also we’re reading an article and I have one answer that no one knows, is Christian still alive?

[@lennyhardi3760]

Michael Radice i also have the same question..but since now is 2018 I think he might died already.

[@ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

This was almost 50 years ago. Lions only stay alive in the wild up to 13 years. I find solace in the fact he had the life he was supposed to have. This is why I'm so against Zoos and such with these large animals. I mean it's a double edged sword because there is conservation also. I just saw this for the first time last night after being on youtube for 14 years and watched over 150,000 videos, I have not seen this. I wonder why there hasn't been a major film made about this, this is the kind of stories the world needs right now, not more violence.

[@romellomalone368]

Someone should make a movie about Christian the Lion

[@marylynneroberts8283]

Omg!!!! Loves this

[@williamprue9877]

I wish when I came home my dog would do that or I could have the dog and the lion get along and have both of them do that to me when I come home

[@AUDIO_ETHER]

Awesome

[@franklinpanakkal97]

Yup they did the right thing

[@maureen624]

Poor Christian, at a point, he became confused whether he belong to lion family or human family

[@TheCharleecrat]

wow if you dig further George Adamson was killed by a poacher in 1989, his wife was killed by an employee in a different camp over a labor dispute. Makes me wonder if Christian suffered the same ending? I sure hope not, so far I cannot find anywhere it has been reported. Still a heartwarming story.

[@mb1968ca]

Yes it truly is tragic what happened to both Joy and George. But I think all they accomplished including of course their life with Elsa as told in Born Free was amazing .

[@OK-66]

charlee mcwhirter, I thought about the same thing as you too before. However, when I searched more information about Christian's very last final reunion with Ace and George. Christian was already known as a lead in a lioness family. His lioness family was waiting for him nearby while Christian had the very last final night with his "fathers". And then he returned to the bush with his lioness family. So now I believe Christian was with his lioness family for the rest of his life. He is the luckiest lion that could live in both human world and his own wild world, and enjoyed his life to the most. Thanks so much for George, Ace and John! George died in a tragedy, but please think about the other way. George had been enjoying his life with his lions until age 82 which he also used the most of his life. many people cannot even live that long. So we should still be proud of what Geroge has been dedicated and contributed to his beloved lions. George would be very happy to reunite with his lions in heaven now too. RIP.

Can't believe Harrods used to sell zoo animals! That's cruel if you know what I mean.

so amazing

some people still want to believe animals dont have feelings like we humans. what rot..! maybe they dont havec feelings..!

Awww

[@roxyryan24]

how and why he didn't return back to the sanctuary? huhu... he may have not survived .. got tired pr something for staying up all night with the boys and some other wild animals attack xtian and he didn't have the energy to fight back... huhuhu

[@tasheenasmith5616]

Idk why they kept going, let him get acclimated. They see he was doing fine.

(23:36) - Christian meets Boy

[@williamalford4248]

I wonder if they had him neutered or if he ever had his own cubs.

[@rizkidesylia9763]

2019?

[@anja1627]

That's a double tragedy, indeed. George shouldn't have shot Boy. That caretaker would never survive anyway.

[@aprianiatahau9988]

If he didn't shot boy, the local people gonna be mad i think

[@usaspy1]

christians so cute

[@CyberRacer]

They could have just given him to a rich guy who had like a big zoo in their house , where they could have met them whenever they wanted

[@lennyhardi3760]

Amaan Kudroli I always think the same also, feel very bad that to send him back to wildlife that he has never knew before...i hope christian is happy being seperate from his human friend to be back to wildlife.

[@netu8565]

It’s better for him to be in the wild, maybe he died but he experience to have family and experience his real life as a lion.. his bloodline still lives on in that jungle.

[@lovelydiva06]

How about no, christian was successfully introduced back into the wild where he should’ve been, he lived out the rest of his days as a free lion in the wild in Africa with his own little pride

[@FaithFullYG22]

I wants in hindi the lion called by Christian

[@plumeria66]

Of course lions deserve freedom and life in their natural habitat. But Christian would eventually die a violent, painful death as all male lions do when they give up their kingdom to younger lions. Is that better than growing old in a pen in London? I suppose so…
