Christian the Lion was a Lion born in captivity and purchased by Australian John Rendall and Anthony "Ace" Bourke from Harrods department store in London in 1969.
He was later re-introduced to The African Wild by conservationist George Adamson.
One year after Adamson released Christian to The Wild, his former owners decided to go looking for him to see whether Christian would remember them.
He did, and with him were two Lionesses who accepted the men as well.[1]

Quite an amazing story. It’s inspiring that a lion cub raised in captivity was able to learn how to hunt and survive in the wild, which is a very unforgiving place. (So much for the peace and beauty of the “Franciscan harmony of nature.’”) —Note by Dante P
ReplyDeleteA very interesting thought, Dante P.
DeleteOne assumes that it could only be by an innate ability that this Lion learned how to survive in the wild.
What is truly wonderful, and amazing, is how the Lion reacted when suddenly realising who the human being was that he saw in front of him.
It makes a mockery of those humans who think it is a good thing to shoot these animals dead. And then to put the animal's remains up on a wall in their home and, in effect, say: “Look how clever I am”.
