Wow! It's SO GREAT to see these men together for this interview!! I was hoping that would happen sometime. I do wish Mr. Bourke had been given more chances to speak though. I was a bit annoyed when he started to speak and was interrupted for that dumb "lunchmeat" comment. I love these guys and I deeply admire them for what they did for Christian. What a BEAUTIFUL, sweet story! I'm glad to know I wasn't the only person who cried over the video. I watched it over and over, crying the whole time.

don't forget the great man George Adamson in the footage too..

[@myndiecarter]

This videa truly shows that animals are mans best friend. I cry everytime I watch it!!

[@lilgem250]

Yey! I get to leave the first comment. This is such a great interview and I love the video. I still cry because I'm so happy when I watch it.

[@TheCocobana]

I watch Christian every single day - I absolutely love this lion and thank you Ace and John R for being so good to Christian and of course the late George A for his patience in integrating him in to the wild. Christian lives on - through this clip, the books and the dvd's and of course his little ones whom I hope have carried his genes on till today. Goodnight Christian.

[@panggabeybiko]

Lions are quickly dissappearing in the wild. Estimates are only 20,000 left. There were approximately 450,000 fifty years ago. Please support lion conservation and banning trophy hunting.

Tôi không biết làm gì hơn là cứ để cho nước mắt tuân rơi! tôi khóc vì cảm động vì hạnh phúc, dù tôi đã là một đúa con trai 20 tuổi,

[@TheCocobana]

Yes Taliasalia - I too think about all these things - I wonder did he live a lonely life - did he find some happiness - did he feel abandoned. I wonder if he would have been happier in a sanctuary of some sort - I feel sad when these thoughts surface & pray to God to let C be happy - yes, animals do go to heaven & Paradise - as another viewer wrote - the Lion &the Lamb - Do Ace & John think of him now? He has certainly put them on the map. However, I love this Lion tremendously & still watch

If you want Christian's full story then read the book "A Lion Called Christian" it is a great read and there are some fantastic photos of Christian in there as well

a remarkable video... this just show even animals can connect with us human..and in this era where humans are killing each other every day, its such a shame..humans are the worst animals... bravo to the two wonder brothers!

Também adotei um leão tempos atrás. Ele foi crescendo muito rapidamente até o tamanho de um gato. O que aconteceu depois foi surpreendentemente fantástico. Ele, que, na verdade era ela, parou de crescer. Faz sete anos que ela mora em casa, comigo e minha esposa. Só que, realmente não cresceu mais. Será que ela é uma gata? Ih... acho que sim. Mas, que parece leão, ah,.. isso parece.

Eary in 1973 Christian crossed the Tana River, going north in the direction of the Meru National Park, a much more attractive area and a good hunting ground. In a National Park, animals were safer from poachers, hunters and tribesmen with cattle. Sadly, George finally stopped counting the days and months of Christian's absence from Kora and he was never seen again. An excerpt from the book "A Lion Called Christian"

[@pumbaysimba]

Yo apoyo el comentario acerca de que los animales tienen sentimientos, pueden sentir y nos hacen felices como este león hizo felíz a sus amos por mucho tiempo. Cuiden a sus mascotas!!!

Came here from Tiktok!

[@JudyDeed]

Much better than Meredith Viera's interview, hands down. Respect was given to Ace, John and Christian. Nice job Kerri-Anne!

[@59771006]

Christian would have to be the ambassador for the wildlife of the world there's no doubt about it

@shwankyJoJo Lions only live 8-12 years in the wild. He was thought to be the biggest lion in Kenya, 500lbs. No evidence was found that he met an early death. He Lived a very happy life..

AAdopt a Lion - Go the George Adamson pages on the internet - it will tell you how. Still loving my Christian - an example to human beings

[@billc8255]

What happend to joy she loved them so much

[@user-ty5no2fs3x]

Caden potts aka Christian the lit person

[@suffolk2325]

I agree that Meredith didn't give sufficient opportunities to Ace. And her comment on luncheon meat was absolutely dumb. Katie Couric was much better.

[@59771006]

Lions begin to age and weaken between 10 and 15 years of age at the latest so there's no way Christian would be alive today he would be well and truly dead
