Brought home from Harrod's in 1969 and lovingly cared for, Christian the lion was released into the wild a year later. This video documents the reunion.

Christian left the Kora Reserve in 1973. He made his new territory along the Tana river, but when the Wakamba herdsmen kept bringing their livestock to his hunting ground, he moved on. George Adamson said in his autobiography, "I used to count the days on which we hadn't seen Christian, but when they reached 97, I gave up recording them in my diary." Because a lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river.

[...Ok, ok, you know us by now and know that we love cats. Well, this morning, Tuesday, July 22, 2008, on The Today Show, Meredith and David showed the well viewed video Christian the Lion (which most of us have seen multiple times), but it was so nice to see again. I thought you might enjoy watching it again and it bring a little joy to your day today…It’s ok to cry, no one’s looking.]
