christian the lion...

This amazing 1970 reunion has resurfaced, thanks to a spot on 'The View'. Christian's journey from his sheltered life in England (after having been born in a Rotterdam zoo) to being truly 'Born Free' in his ancestral Kenya was an arduous one, glossed over in the above video. If you have time and patience, the story of "Christian, the Lion Who Thought He was People" is told in depth in a series of fascinating and oftentimes unbelievable, black and white videos - beginning here. Intertwined is the story of "Boy", one of the 'Born Free' lions, who is an integral part of it all. There are ten parts to the series. The next video link is always to the right of the one you're watching -- under where it says 'info'. Or, click on the links below.
