Chtistian the lion takes utube by storm - 12 million

Guys, you just have to watch this - it is truly, truly amazing. Two young guys back in the 50's buy a lion cub from Harrods in London. When it gets too big they realise they cannot keep him any longer and return him to the wilds in Africa. A year later, they go back to Africa to say hullo to Christian, who by this time is now head of a pride, and has cubs of his own. What you will witness is nothing short of remarkable as Christian coming down a hill, suddenly recognises his former human friends.
