Truly an inspiring story. The story of Christian the Lion hit YouTube and became a phenomenal worldwide success. Garnering millions of views. Tragically the original YouTube account for the upload was banned causing the entire history of Christian the Lion to be lost. The video was re-uploaded recently and has begun stacking up the views again.
THis heart warming tale features Christian the Lion, a lion cub, raised by humans. Christian eventually became too large to keep in the care of humans and was released to the wild. A year later against the advice of experts Christians caretakers returned to visit Christian. Christian the Lion had become the leader of his own wild pack. The lion instantly recognized his caretakers and greeted them with a warm welcome. One of the most incredible YouTube videos of all time, I challenge you to watch Christian the Lion without getting a little misty in the eyes.


















God I cried. Animals…they love more than they ever hate. Only humans can hate and destroy. I so glad I got to see this reunion. Thank you for sharing.
So touching and moving. Animals are so loyal but this is simply amazing how after being in the wild for a year to remember the person that raised them. Love is deeper and stronger than any emotion.
I didn’t know what to expect, but wow, if you a heart you can’t help but to watch this and tear up with both pride and joy. What a way to start the new year out — to re reminded what love and loyalty is.
I have been browsing this site for some time and this is my favorite video. It really touched me and made me sad and happy at the same time.
What a touching story. I was really moved that man and beast can come together and not forget their love for each other.
