You’d probably watched this already and know of this story, but, I just wanted to share this story with everyone else who just like me, is watching it for the first time today! lols.

(In summary) This is the story of Christian the lion who stayed in London as a cub with humans until he grew too big to be staying in a city. He was then sent back into the wild in Africa. After a year, his caretakers came back to Africa to visit him, and. . . . Watch what happened!

Read this article from the DailyMail UK about Christian’s whole story.

Ok, admit it, who cried?

I did tear a bit. Uber touching man. dammmnn. I love cute furry things that move. . Well except rodents.

(Thanks to Lea for the video)

    Oh, oh , tears rolled down my cheeks…maybe it’s those guys hairstyles…just goes to show you a little love and kindness goes a long way even with wild lions… but still, I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a game warden with a sniper trained on the lion the whole time , you know just in case he got a tad peckish…

    Yeah the wife bit was cute…
