Christian the Lion… A true story.
Christian left the Kora Reserve in 1973. He made his new territory along the Tana river, but when the Wakamba herdsmen kept bringing their livestock to his hunting ground, he moved on. George Adamson said in his autobiography, “I used to count the days on which we hadn’t seen Christian, but when they reached 97, 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.
As for the two guys, the Born Free Foundation tells me that Anthony “Ace” Bourke (referred to as Ace “Berg” on YouTube) lives in Australia as a lecturer and expert in the area of Aboriginal Art, and John Rendall lives in the UK and is a Trustee of the George Adamson Wildlife Preservation Trust.

Not surprising to me….it shows & truly proves what amazingly pure love creatures give & how they DO accept & remember what is done for them regardless of how some of us treat them. Love a creature & you will learn about true, unadulterated, unconditional & pure love in a sense that you never thought exsisted. They are the truly greater being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
