Lion Reunion
-
oh my god! i cried.
-
Of a young pride yes. Christian's pride remained small until several years later when he had cubs of his own, that's when he stopped welcoming the two guys into his territory.
-
I'm sorry, re-watch the video and look for who??(And no not for a few days )
-
Oh LoL No I didn't rewatch the video to look for those lolBut I agree Christian was a rather immature male, I believe what I read he was only like 2-3 years old when they visited him the first time in the wild. It was a few years after that when Christian's pride became large and he had cubs of his own and he no longer welcomed the two men into his camp.
-
Though I think I read somewhere that the lioness also used to be a rescue lion like Christian That would make sense. It never mentioned it in the version I saw.. It just said he had a pride and brought his "wife" which wouldn't have happened if she was a truly wild lioness.
-
omgggggggggggggg. I love it ... sooooo cute!!!
-
Thanks, Eddie, that gives a lot of useful background.
-

I cryed cuz I am pansey and also emotionally retarded.
I am also a realist and so am sceptical of the truthfulness of this whole wild lion situation.
If a now "wild" lion ran at me I would not stand there with a stupid grin on my face.

Quote:I am also a realist and so am sceptical of the truthfulness of this whole wild lion situation. I feel the same way so I went on to a hoax search. According to snopes etc. this is a true story, although it happened nearly 40 years ago

Spelling and grammer have never been a strong point.I am human, there has to be at least one thing I'm crap at.But thanks for pointing out my fults, I'm sure that made your day super.
