Oh yaaaaa I saw this on the news the other day.... made me cry at how sweet it was that the big cat remembered them. They didn't, however, show the part of the 'wife', which I find odd, as obviously he wasn't put in a wild enclosure but rather a game part with other human friendly lions.:nod:

I so agree that if that doesn't move you, you can't be moved.

These two guys were on Good Morning America the other day and they so make you want to do more for conservation. It's been their life's work. There are evidently about 10 more videos out there showing how they introduced Christian to wildlife, but I haven't had the time to try and find them.

But, yeah, it's true. I just wonder why we haven't seen this before? The last time they saw Christian was in 1974.
