I liked this one and a search didn't immediately show other posts on it so I'm hoping it's not a repost.

Thank you for posting that.
I am one of the people who think animals know a lot more then we give them credit for.

I'll bet they do! You must be dangerous. . . .

I know, it's a warm fuzzy story for the Bonfire today but I go for those every time.

I know, I do, too! You can see him processing everything and then it's just joy. I love it that animals are capable of having those deep ties with humans, and I'm so glad they decided to go visit even though they didn't expect to see Christian or that Christian would recognize them if they did.

Was I the only one hoping he was gonna eat him?

Saw it on email a few weeks back.

Still a cool story though.

I swear that lion's jaw dropped when he saw them, like "oh my God, look who's here!" So cute!

A little off topic, perhaps, but Goeorge and Joy Adamson were my idols growing up. I read Born Free, The Spotted Sphynx (both by Joy) and A Lifetime With Lions (by George) ragged.
Great reads!

I'm glad you liked it! Sounds like it's starting to make the rounds on the internet (or maybe it's just making the rounds again), but its still a sweet story.

Simplyputsi's version seems to have a little more footage, too.

It's made its rounds via email a couple times this year. Probably got posted earlier but I just don't remember.

If YOU can't remember, then it can't be that egregious of a repost! (I hope not, anyway.) You see and know all that happens on dz.com!

So what is your story Jewels? Still in love? Still going to jump? Stil flying tunnel?

There's no sound in that video, but my guess is that they called to the lion. Cats recognize individual humans by the sound of their voices, and not so much by the way the individual looks.
