George Adamson said in his autobiography, "I used to count the days on which we hadn't seen Christian, but when they reached 9
7, I gave up recording them in my diary." Because a lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river. "Lion Man" Gareth Patterson, author, environmentalist, and the person who continued George Adamso

®. I had never heard of this clip before and I looked up "the best youtube video". Whoever posted this as the best was by far the best. I was crying throughout the whole clip. Wow...thats all I can say. How can any person still want to hunt animals such as the lion now that they have seen this clip
...I know I couldn't (not that I ever did). This story is truly incredible.

In those days Harrods had an unusual pets section. I dont think they would get away with it these days though! Anyway he loved John and Ace because they brought him up from a cub and they formed a strong bond with them.
They treated him well and he never forgot that. Animals have feelings too!
