Christian the Lion Reunion As Seen on CNN
7Christian the lion was a lion born in captivity and purchased by Australian John Rendall and Anthony “Ace” Bourke from Harrods department store in London in 1969. He was later reintroduced to the African wild by conservationist George Adamson. One year after Adamson released Christian to the wild, his former owners decided to go looking for him to see whether Christian would remember them. He did, and with him were two lionesses who accepted the men as well.
