Have you all seen this? It's truly amazing. If you scroll down,

I watched it a couple of months ago (it's long!), but it's such a great story. For some reason, it has hit mass media in the last couple of weeks and the video (or one of the many versions of the video--my favourite is the one with the Aerosmith song--it ends with something like, "A pet's love is forever!") has appeared on The View, The Today Show, etc. The best part about the recent exposure is that they interviewed Ace Bourke and John Rendall on the Today Show today! They're definitely not hippies anymore! BTW, there are some inaccuracies with the story as on Snopes. The video of the reunion was taken in 1972, 1 year after Christian arrived in Africa, not in 1974, and he did not have cubs at the time. The story on Snopes about Christian waiting for Ace and John with his cubs did happen in 1974, but that was not videotaped. If you want to read an update on the story, and watch the Today Show interview with Ace Bourke and John Rendall, it's at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25797678/ but I don't know how long it will be available. |

Here's another nice one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bicIwwQhNtc This one's not as heart-warming, but it's kinda funny if you take the lion's perspective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9te_DPwD19A |
