I’ve watched it a million times and I still cry with loud, hard sobs every time! Did anyone notice the look on the lion’s face when he recognized the two guys?
His jaw literally dropped and his eyes got all wide.
Someone sent that to me the other day. I watched it twice and couldn’t stop crying. It still blows me away the way the lion ran when he realized who they were.
Seriously, I thought when the lion first jumped up that this was a joke video and that he was being mauled. I guess if I were in a less cynical mood, it woulda got me, too.
The haircuts made me tear up a little.
That’s awesome!
Is that for real???!!!
That rocks.
That song is overkill. It was overkill in “Armageddon”, it was overkill in this, and it was overkill when it was friggin’ written.
Still, that’s cute as plushy hell.
I sometimes welcome my food into my home in the same manner. Nom nom nom.
I gave this video to my mom. It made her cry too.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Makes me cry every time I see it. Irritates the hell out of me when someone calls any animal dumb.

Most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
Mikey,
Avi, yah……
Jennifer, even if it’s not it still touches my heart, but I hope it is.
Andria, it totally does!
Creature, don’t care if any of it’s overkill, it all comes together perfectly for me.
Pat patties. Heeee.
Britt, I know.
Fogspinner, me too! To both things.
BB, I did notice the face change. It’s amazing. His mouth opens up and then he starts galloping!
*wipes tears*
That was so beautiful Poppy…thank you for sharing with all of us!
*sheds a few more tears and goes back to life*
I know….like he couldn’t get to them fast enough.
It’s definitely true. Here’s the backstory to it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_the_lion
I could never have left that precious animal again after that…I don’t know how they did it. I would’ve lived in the dessert just to be with him.
Hmmm….I tried posting the link to the story to show it’s true but I think it looks like spam when I do that because it didn’t show up.
Go ahead and google “Christian the Lion” and then go to the Wikipedia page that comes up. That’ll tell you the whole story.
You’re welcome, Cissa.
BB, Hoax Slayer says it’s true. And the last time they visited Christian was the year I was born.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I hate to copy Britt but man - too cute!
Yeah, that rocks. Showed it to my mom and she got chills just like I did.
Great. Now I’m crying.
Someone sent that to me the other day. I watched it twice and couldn’t stop crying. It still blows me away the way the lion ran when he realized who they were.
I swore I would not cry. I swore I would not cry.
Dammit, I cried.
I keep crying! argh!
Aw. That was adorable.
*sniff*
Damn allergies.
I will eventually watch it without crying!!!
but not yet
OMG Poppy. I am a sucker for this kind of shit. Thanks for making me cry. Hoser.
Sybil, waaaay cute.
Karl, it just makes me lose it. No chills, just bittersweet, ya know?
Dragon, crying is good for you, therefore you are welcome.
Finn, just reading your words has choked me up again. Argh!
Hilly, it’s impossible for us sensitives to not cry at that video. (NOT THAT YOU’RE SENSITIVE.
)
Stef, so very adorable. Such big hugs!
Chicka, *giggle*
Love you too, Pretty Morgyborgy. Love, Hoser PS - You’re welcome.
I DIDN’T CRY! GO ME!
Seriously, I thought when the lion first jumped up that this was a joke video and that he was being mauled. I guess if I were in a less cynical mood, it woulda got me, too.
Okay, i’ve watched it 3 times, and I still can’t quit crying. And it’s not even hormones! That was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time.
I’m definitely NOT wiping away tears because I’m totally not a “crier”.
*sniffles and hopes no one notices*
