Christian The Lion - The Reunion

Two guys, Ace Berg and John Rendall, raised a lion cub who they named Christian, but sadly he got too big for them to take care of. So they decided to release him in Kenya, to live as a wild lion.

In this footage, a year has passed and it looks like Christian's adapted to living with a pride of lions when his old friends come back to visit him. Watch closely and you can see the look of pure disbelief that dawns on his muzzle - it's awesome.

This made me happy! OK, now I'm kind of over that decision fiasco.

A little bit sceptic: how come they can also pet the 2nd lion in the end part? They only adopted 1 lion so maybe these are just tame animals?
