In 1969, Aussies John Rendall and Ace Berg bought a cub at Harrods (when it was still legal). They took care of him and played with him for over a year. But when he grew up to be so big, they had no choice but to return him to the wild. After a year, they decided to visit their lion in Kenya. They were warned that he already grew up wild and might not recognize them anymore. The 2 guys took the risk and the video shows their reunion. The lion even introduced these 2 guys to his pride later on and other vids show the whole pride (those completely raised in the wild) playing with John and Ace.
So touching is this vid that you also want to hug the lion. This video disproves all people who tell me that I cannot have a white tiger as a pet! Now I just need to save a lot of money to make and maintain my own tiger sanctuary. ;)
clearly they had to be australian, haha! and i want a white tiger too! i think the lion liked the guy in khaki better, did you see how wide he was smiling? this vid made me weepy, good thing i have ww! :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, i like the smile of the guy in khaki too, really overjoyed in seeing Christian! :D there's a complete vid of it in youtube which shows from cub to when they met the whole pride, more weepy to see. just that, it wouldn't upload here, dunno why.
