Christian the Lion is a heartwarming story about a lion cub raised by two men John Rendall and Anthony (‘Ace’) Bourke. They saw him for sale at Harrods in a cramped cage and decided to bring it home. They were allowed by the local vicar to exercise it in the church grounds, but he grew too big too fast and had to be sent to Africa. They managed to reintroduce him to the wild and a year later they went to meet him.
They were told that he was the head of his own pride and would not be able to recognize them. This video shows what happened when they did meet. There are many variations of this video, particularly when it comes to the background music. My personal preference is the one with the Sigur Ros soundtrack.
