Christian the Lion
60,383 views
In 1969, two Australians living in London purchased a 35-pound lion cub from the exotic animal division of Harrod's department store. For a full year, John Rendall and Anthony Bourke raised the cub as their pet, permitting him to lounge freely in the furniture shop they co-owned and even join them for an occasional meal at a local restaurant. In 1972, after the lion had grown too large to properly be cared for, he was taken to Kenya and--rather remarkably--reintroduced to the wild. Two years later, Rendall and Bourke paid a visit to Kenya to see their old friend. They were told the lion would never remember them. Watch what happened.

A number of years later the man was walking through the bush again and came upon a bull elephant. The elephant raised his left foot and trumpeted loudly. The man thought, could this be the same elephant he had helped many years ago? He approached the elephant slowly. The elephant wrapped his trunk around his legs and threw him to the ground and trampled him to death. . . . . .It wasn't the same elephant.
