Christian The Lion

/ Thursday, May 21, 2009 /
The Power of Love.



To make a long story short, Anthony "Ace" Bourke and John Rendall, two Australians living in the hip Chelsea section of London in 1969 bought and raised a 35 lbs lion cub from a department store, which they named Christian, in their living room. They became local celebrities of sorts, parading around London with him, taking him to restaurants and even playing soccer with him.

But as the 35-pound cub grew to 185 pounds and food bills became astronomical, they knew he would have to be released to a less urban habitat. So they arranged to take him to a wildlife refuge in Kenya. They visited him periodically for several years.

After going without seeing their old friend for several months, they were told he had adapted to his new environment, and the two returned to say goodbye. That's when the famed reunion took place.
