These two fellows raised a lion cub they named “Christian” until he got so big they had to release him back to the wild. He went off and joined a pride. Now a year later, they go back to where they left him to see how he’s doing. Watch Christian’s expression as recognition dawns. Watch what happens when the lioness joins them. Watch the bystander (George Adamson of Born Free fame). No soundtrack, so just watch.

    An oldie but goodie – George Adamson died 20 years ago. Here kitteh, kitteh, kitteh!

  2. op99 says:

    I can see how Kitteh would recognize Dad1 and Dad2, but how do the Dads recognize young Kitteh after he grew an extra year?

    op 1, yep, which explains the hairdos too.

    op 2, I dunno — maybe he’s the only one who answered “Here, kitteh kitteh pusspusspuss”?

    Three happy blokes and a happy lioness — ah, life can be good.

    Thanks, lotus. I’ve got “Born Free” stuck in my head for the rest of the day! A welcome diversion…
