Watch This Wonderful Video



What we all knew instinctively as kids.
These 2 guys reared this lion from a baby in England but the authorities would not allow them to keep it once it reached maturity so they were forced to give it up. They took it back to Africa and placed it in a wildlife sanctuary. A year later they went to see it and were told it would not remember them. Check out the attached video for the lion's reaction when it saw them for the first time...

  1. Wow. The lion had a very human 'OMG!' expression on his face when he saw those two.

    Why would the experts ever have thought that a big-brained mammal (who also probably has a highly developed sense of smell) wouldn't recognize the critters who raised it?

  8. What a great kitty! Big or small... they know who loves them. Even my feral cat visitors have a way of showing their gratitude.

  10. Whiteycat, I think that the cats know real love better than people. Dogs, too.

    Apostle, you can't hide behind that name. I know who you are.
