For all of us that loved the video of Christian the Lion, the rest of the story
« on: August 01, 2008, 01:47:32 am »
The latter part of this video shows a very recent interview with the two men that were shown having the sweet reunion with the lion that they'd raised in 1969.  If you've seen the reunion part before, you can just zip forward to the interview.  It's heartwarming to see hear about Christian's legacy.

wow, that is awesome how the story ended.  Too bad he was never seen again after he was released into the wild.  I wonder what ever became of him?

Great to hear a wildlife sanctuary is all due to him being brought back to Africa.
