The Amazing Story of Christian the Lion

In 1969, two Australians, John Rendall and Anthony “Ace” Bourke purchased a lion cub from Harrod’s department store which they named Christian.  They cared for the cub until he grew too large for their apartment.  Christian was then reintroduced into the wild in Africa. 

Two years later, after Christan had successfully adapted to his new life in the wild, John & Anthony travelled to Kenya to visit him.  They were discouraged from doing so – being told the animal was now wild and would not remember them – but that didn’t stop them.  What occurred was the most amazing reunion.
