I don't know how to post a video. But watch this small clip about Christian the Lion.

1. It is a real tear jerker, no question
Animals are wonderful people.

I've been blubbering since Tuesday night... I've given up mascara, and I'm buying stock in Kleenex!

Good to see you! Haven't seen you around in a while... I'm sure you've been busy:)

:hi:

4. no, this is based on the true
story of a conservationist (see Born Free) who helped reintroduce Christian into the wild. His most famous is Elsa.

6. thanks for that... sadly
George was murdered, as was his wife. Elsa appears to have been poisoned (she got a strange illness that felines do not get) and we don't know what happened to Christian after this. But he had some cubs with his two ladies (there is a second part). I can't stop crying!
