Christian the Lion - A Wonderful Legacy

I saw this video some time ago (or possibly the documentary) but thought I should share it again as it is one of the more heartwarming things I have ever seen.  If you don't know anything about Christian the Lion, he was a lion originally purchased by Australians John Rendall and Anthony 'Ace' Bourke from Harrods department store of London in 1969 and ultimately reintroduced to the wild.

Below is their first reunion after Christian had been in the wild for almost a year.


Below is a brief documentary style video about this video which became popular on YouTube.


I wanted to give you an idea of the size of the park where Christian the Lion was released.
