| Christian the Lion- Reunion! |
 |
So these two people raised this lion cub who
they named Christian, and sadly he got too
big for them to take care of so they decided
to release him to live as a wild lion. Well,
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. ^_^ Next thing you
know, we have a heart warming reunion. Not
long after, members of Christian's pride
approach and even they seem to accept
Christian's human friends.
Again, THIS IS NOT MINE! This footage from
Christian's documentary was also kleptoed
from www.kimbawlion.com- a FANTASTIC website
about Kimba the White Lion. ^_^ So send all
Kudos where it belongs!
I'm only uploading these to give people
who're oblivious to Kimba an idea as to what
the heart of the series really is about. ^.^

The orphaned baby lion cub is reunited with
his keepers in africa a heart warming true
story.
He travelled by Bentley, ate in fine London
restaurants and spent his days lounging in a
furniture shop. The story of Christian the
pet lion - and his eventual release into the
wild - is as moving as it is incredible.
The furniture shop was on the King's Road in
London. It sold tables, wardrobes, chairs and
desks - but anybody peering through its
plate-glass window on a Sunday might have
noticed something rather more unusual.
Amid all the pine and oak, stretched out
languidly on a bench, there was a lion. And
it wasn't stuffed.
"Christian used to lie beside me while I did
the accounts at weekends," remembers Jennifer
Mary Taylor, who worked there.
"And every so often, if I'd ignored him for
too long, he'd sock me across the head with
one of his great big paws.
"He was very loving and affectionate - he
liked to stand and put his paws on your
shoulders. But he was...", she pauses. "I
mean, he was a lion. Does that sound silly?"
christian the lion (named by someone with a
Biblical sense of humour) arrived in Chelsea
at a time when the King's Road - home to Mick
Jagger - was the very heart of the Swinging
Sixties.
For a year, the Big Cat was part of it all,
cruising the streets in the back of a
Bentley, popping in for lunch at Casserole, a
local restaurant, even posing for a Biba
fashion advert.
He eventually grew too big to be kept as a
pet and was taken to Kenya, where he was
rehabilitated into the wild by the 'Lion
Man', George Adamson.
Now, his story is to be told in a new book,
written by the Australian John Rendall who,
along with his friend Ace Berg, bought
Christian from Harrods in 1969.
So what possessed them to buy a lion cub in
the first place?
"A friend had been to the 'exotic animals'
department at Harrods and announced, rather
grandly, that she wanted a camel," says
Rendall.
"To which the manager very coolly replied:
'One hump or two, madam?'
"Ace and I thought this was the most
sophisticated repartee we'd ever heard, so we
went along to check it out - and there, in a
small cage, was a gorgeous little lion cub.
We were shocked. We looked at each other and
said something's got to be done about that."
Harrods, it turned out, was also quite keen
to be rid of Christian, who had escaped one
night, sneaked into the neighbouring carpet
department - then in the throes of a sale of
goatskin rugs - and wreaked havoc.
The store, which had acquired the cub from
Ilfracombe zoo, happily agreed to part with
him for 250 guineas. So began Christian's
year as an urban lion.
Today, it would be unthinkable for a shop to
take such a cavalier attitude towards selling
exotic animals (though Harrods did, at least,
provide Ace and Rendall with diet sheets).
And it is hard to imagine either the animal
rights lobby or any local council condoning a
shop as a suitable habitat for a lion. But,
back then, no one minded at all.
Christian was given his own living quarters
(and a very large kitty-litter tray, which he
used unfailingly) in the basement of the
appropriately named Sophistocat furniture
shop.
"He had a beautiful musky smell that was very
distinct," says Rendall. "But he was clean."
The vicar of the Moravian Chapel nearby was
approached to allow Christian the run of the
graveyard, and every day he was taken there
to roar around and play football.
Once, when he was brought along to a seaside
picnic, he dipped his toes reluctantly in the
water and intimated with a shudder that it
was disagreeably cold. But he was eventually
persuaded to swim in the English Channel.
By the way John Rendal and Ace Bourke both
released a book in 1972 called A LION CALLED
CHRISTIAN heres a link to it on amazon
