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.

A lion, raised as a cub by a British couple, was released into the wild after he grew too big. A year later, they are reunited.

To see the whole amazing story http://www.bornfree.org.uk and help The Born Free Foundation save more wildlife.

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.
