I love the story of Christian's reunion so much, it always makes me tear
up. Being a cat-person, I totally believe the bond.

I would not have expected any bond after a year much less the obvious deep
and abiding one evident in the video.

I wonder if there is more information on this story available, but I don't
really want to spoil the awe I enjoyed at the video.


According to Wiki (not the best ref, I know), the story is true and
they ahd a second reunion about a year later when the Lion was
considerably bigger, thatn the large cat in the first video.

Two things I wonder.

First - When the lion jumped up on the guy, did he have - just for a
second or two - the image that the lion could kill him without even
trying?

And second - Christian was obviously habilitated to humans. In the
African wild, did this bring danger on both Christian and his pride?
