"Christian stared at us in a very intense way," says Rendall. "I knew his expressions and I could see he was interested. We called him and he stood up and started to walk towards us very slowly.

"Then, as if he had become convinced it was us, he ran towards us, threw himself on to us, knocked us over, knocked George over and hugged us, like he used to, with his paws on our shoulders.

"Everyone was crying. We were crying, George was crying, even the lion was nearly crying."

Amazing. Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's amazing. I watched the video, and had to read the story. The story made me want to watch the video again and see more photos. It's just an amazing story.

That video is pretty damn crazy. With the speed at which the lion was charging towards those two guys, I thought they'd get mauled. Turns out that Christian likes hugging people.

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting how Christian remembered them after all these years.
