    Very sweet video

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adYbFQFXG0U"]YouTube - Christian the Lion - the full story (in HQ)[/ame]

    I checked it out on snopes just to make sure it was real and it is.

    It's old (1969) but still a sweet story.. tonight was my first time hearing about it.

    Awwwww! So cute.

    I think there might have been a couple of moments where the lion had the "mmm, food" glint in its eye when it was hugging the humans.

    cute! christian reminds me of a fat version of baron. baron is about that height. my sabrina jumps up on us and gives us hugs and kisses just like that lion.

    animals are so much better than people. except for rats.

    Cute .

    I left my puppy at my ex's house for many months because I was not allowed to have pets in my apartments. I finally went over there to get some things and my dogs (had 3 but the ex would not allow me to get them. As I was getting back into my car to leave, my dog ran from the backyard through the gates and towards my moving car. I stopped to pick him up and away we went.

    Animals are the best!

    Who ever said the lion would not remember is a numb nuts. They do remember someone who raised them for years. I never heard of this, thanks for the post tone.

    Made me think of Born Free:

    Born free, as free as the wind blows
    As free as the grass grows
    Born free to follow your heart

    Live free and beauty surrounds you
    The world still astounds you
    Each time you look at a star

    Stay free, where no walls divide you
    You're free as the roaring tide
    So there's no need to hide

    Born free, and life is worth living
    But only worth living
    'cause you're born free

    (Stay free, where no walls divide you)
    You're free as the roaring tide
    So there's no need to hide

    Born free, and life is worth living
    But only worth living
    'cause you're born free

    indi you know what's funny... when these guys were trying to figure out what to do w/ their 185 lb lion actors Bill Travers & Virginia McKenna stopped by the furniture store where they worked.. and they had just got done filming 'Born Free' and introduced these guys to the real life George Adamson in Kenya.

    Great possibility this is fake. But I am glad if it isn't.

    I recall one another case where female lion adapted a deer baby. She did not eat it, but kept it as her baby. Don't know what happened to her later though and what was the future of the baby.
    Don't expect anything.
