Sorry for the horrible subject line, but... wanted to avoid puns Smile

My brother sent me this... don't know if anyone has seen it.

"Several years ago this woman found a sick, malnourished lion cub in the jungle. She took the cub home and fed him and brought him up until he was too big to keep anymore. Then she made arrangements with a zoo in Colombia to take the lion. Here's a video of what happened when she went to visit him in the zoo for the first time."

I think that has been on the news or something like that. It's an awesome sight....what more can you say about that....pure magic.

That's amazing!

So, the zoological park is in Colombia - how did the lion get to Colombia, and how did that lady happen to find him.... in Africa?? More details please!!!

Soooo sweet, thanks for posting!

Ugh...we're having to re-train our dog since we'll have a baby in the house soon and it's heartbreaking, because he's had the run of the house (and us and our affection) for 6 years, so now he's just kinda...mopey. Frown

Thanks, Mary! Here's an update:

The lion was NOT found in a "jungle" - the lady, Ana Julia Torres, rescued the cub from a travelling circus. And it's not a zoo - it's an animal shelter, Villa Lorena, in Colombia.

EDIT: Leave it to the British to get the story right LOL

thanks Mary.

PEACE.

Here's one along the same lines:

From the description:

This lion was reared by the guys in the video. He was then released into the wild in Africa but a year later the guys returned to see if he was doing OK. Check out the look on the lions face as he realizes-"That's not food— it's my MATES!!
