This video was so heart warming. Made me cry. Your taught to think that lions are wild cause naturally they are and they would harm u or even kill u but this video proves differently. They raised him from a cub and showed him love and gave his freedom back. their bond will not be forgotten. Its truly amazing. I hope christian had an amazing life.

This is an example we all could learn by. Even though we (humans & animals) all have our differences in stature, our role in our environment, our social status....it doesn't matter. As long as we care, love and respect each other, nothing else matters. It is all remembered. This is a true love story between people that care and love, and an animal that cares, loves, and remembers. Thanks for sharing!!

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

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.

He did respond. He didn't say anything about a new autobiography but the new version of "A Lion Called Christian" will be out by Christmas. It will be a reprint with a new chapter added telling about the reunion. He also said at the moment they are beleaguered which is understandable.

The men were on a recent Today show in the USA and said that a year after the reunion in 1973, they went back to see the lion again. His "pride" had lots of cubs and females. Christian had grown twice the size since the year before in 1972(the first reunion). The next year in 1974, the men went back again but Christian and his group had moved on. So Christian the lion went back to the wild for good which is what they had hoped he would be able to do some day. "

The hard cover revised book will be released March 2009. He did not comment on movie since it's probably hush hush right now on that.

George Adamson had said after the last meeting in 1974(George states it was 1973) that he lost track of Christian and stoppped counting after 97 days. He said Christian left the Kora reserve and made his home along the Tana River. But Christian moved his pride when the Wakamba herdsmen moved in with their livestock. Goerge believed that Christian eneded his final days in the Meru National Reserve a few miles away.

The purpose of language is to express and communicate feelings and aspects of ourselves to one another. Though you may have "failed" at words with *contented* You have succeeded in communication. Kudos to your sincerity! Furthermore, I may not approve of the word "fucking" in expressing the fullness of impact this story had on you Altoid, but I do understand it to be your way or format..

Dear OptimusTrooper, Indeed, this video neither bears a political motive, nor is intended to arouse political discussion. I, too, were much moved (but not shocked as are those brainwashed to see animals, especially these marvellous predators, as brutes) when I watched the video first (that was a few years ago). What does piss me off is the veneration sordid lowlives like adamson, corbett and so forth have been granted. But I'm not here to argue as arguing is for those open to discussion.

One story I read said that they were 25 years old when they bought Christian. So that would make them 64 or 65. I also think that Christian did favor Ace. It likes my cat who acts differently with love towards my wife than he does with me. But Christian obviously loved both of them.

Dear Sollenus, Please, don't be offended. I am sure to make exceptions, and judging by your missive, you represent an exception rather than a rule. I know a few others as well, and am inclined to distinguish between the type I loathe - and souls of propriety incidentally born and/or living in America. There is a plethora of things I'm highly critical of the average american for, first and foremost - their view of and subsequent relation to animals. Much more so than for the language.
