Christian the Lion - the full story (in HQ)

 

Thank you for sharing.

 

I love this video. Seen it before and it really is an amazing display of love between man and animal.

 

Too bad they had to kill the lion for eating the trainer.

 

what???

 

^ I was just kidding.

However, that video seems a little fishy because it lacks details. A wild predator was charging/running towards the men and they just stood there all calm and smiley? Sure, they knew the cub before, but it had been one year since the lion had been released and anything could've changed its predatory character. I find it very suspect that the men just stood there smiling while a wild lion was running towards them. Therefore, they surely had been re-introduced to him before that video shot.

 

Or they could have other men standing around with tranquilizer guns in case of danger...

 

Yes, but still, they wouldn't have looked so absolutely calm and smiley with a wild predator charging/running at them.
