Vik54 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 How cool is this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14240681 Synopsis - Lion cub bought from Harrods - lived on the Kings road in groovy 60's London for a wee while and then returned to the wild at one year with help of the Born free Foundation. The lads that owned him as a cub went to visit a year after and the cat recognised them and goes bounding up to them and gave them big hugs and even lets them sit with his new pride Quote
Ricey Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 I nearly posted this today!!!!!!! Thought it must be a repost though so I didn't bother. The vid is amazing - proper touching. Quote
HaydnH Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Yep, an old video but very touching, even if it is a repost I'm happy to watch it again. Quote
Neilp Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 i watched the programme about this a couple of years ago. Quote
Will370z Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Aye seen this a while back, but a great story Quote
Cragus Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 New to me. Amazing! Gobsmacked when the lion approaches them and is so friendly - they must of had some faith that it remembered them. Quote
