So these two people raised this lion cub who they named Christian, and sadly he got too big for them to take care of so they decided to release him to live as a wild lion. Well, in this footage, a year has passed and it looks like Christian's adapted to living with a pride of lions when his old friends come back to visit him. Watch closely and you can see the look of pure disbelief that dawns on his muzzle- it's awesome. Next thing you know, we have a heart warming reunion. Not long after, members of Christian's pride approach and even they seem to accept Christian's human friends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr1pWzoLvT8 Is this not THE best story you have heard in a long time?

That video made me cry. It was as if Christian had found his long lost "parents." He was so happy to see them. Thanks for sharing this, ctry. PEACE

I did some more research on Christian and have enclosed a link to his story. It is quite an old story, as he was first bought from Harrod's Deartment Store in 1969. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=452820&in_page_id=1 PEACE
