A lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river.

You'll find this video to be as heartwarming as it is inspiring, reminiscent of rare privileges of a past time and an even rarer moment between humans and animals.

Emotional reunion

The main part of the film shown on YouTube was shot the following day, when Bourke and Rendall went into the bush to attempt to see their old friend.


There are two men in flared jeans and shaggy hair, and there is a lion. The huge carnivore approaches from a distance, slowly at first. Then recognition sets in, and soon everyone - men and beast - are hugging and crying.

Christian even brings one of the lionesses in his pride over to meet his former roommates. The Daily Mail story reports that the lioness was clearly not happy with Christian's two-legged friends, and Adamson told Rendall and Bourke that it was time to leave. They went back to the camp, and Christian went with them, staying up late into the night as the humans partied with their friend.

The next day Christian walked back into the bush, where his lionesses were waiting. He was never seen again - but the power of the Internet guarantees that he will never be forgotten.

    Not sure what the person below me is talking about, seems like the perfect song for this, especially if you listen to the lyrics. No story-book ending for Whitney, but it was a nice reminder that there was a time she could blow the roof off a place with a song. The description above is a little inaccurate too. They went back a second time after this where their final farewell happened when Christian was full grown. The 45 minute documentary is pretty neat and worth watching.

    I cried after seeing Christian...the innocent pair of eyes.... and these amazing two guyz who cared for this beautiful creation and helped him to find his true way... But, I wish they could see him again and again...I wish they could do a lot of video footage that time to catch Christian's healthy stay in the bush... In Shaa ALLAh ...Christian lead a good life...that's the only thing that i want to believe....

    haaaaaa je n ai jamais vu vidéo aussi belle, c est à fondre en larme ha! mon dieu, les animaux ne sont jamais ingrat envers la main qui les a nourrie, ne chassent que parce qu ils ont faim, ne font pas dégât sur la planète, ils refendent leurs territoires en toute légitimité,et ne démolissent pas la nature, sans leur presence sur terre, que deviendrons nous?
