Christian The Lion was a lion originally purchased by Australians John Rendall and
Anthony "Ace" Bourke from Harrods department store of London, England,
in 1969 and ultimately reintroduced to the African wild by conservationist George
Adamson. One year after Adamson released Christian to the wild, his former
owners decided to go looking for him to see whether Christian would remember
them. He did, and with him were two lionesses who accepted the men as well.
