A friend sent me this link, saying she was completey overwhelmed by the video.
All she said was that it was about the reunion of a fully-grown lion, and the people who had cared for him when he was a cub. I wasn't at all prepared for what I saw... it's incredibly heartwarming and touching.

Tell me what you think.

YouTube - Christian The Lion - i will always love you....

EDIT: I don't think he was fully grown at the reunion, because his mane is missing!

Sorry for sounding thick, but if Christian was a male lion, shouldn't he have a thick mane? Or is it that he's a different breed, that don't grow manes?

I think he was still quite young in the clip. I don't know how long it takes for lions to grow a full mane. Anyone?

Quite amazingly, neither of them has had a hair cut nor gained a pound since 1969.

seen this before, and not sure how accurate the details are but it is a beautiful clip that I shared with family and friends.

I kept waiting for the lion to take a big chunk out of one of their necks.
