It said they visited after the lion had been in Africa for a year.

The guy didn't flinch when the lion started to run towards him. That would have been hard to do.

Yeah, it was even money that he would be dinner that day.

I suppose we didn't see the guy with the elephant gun out of camera.

There are some other movies in there about Christian. There's another man that shows up in a couple of them. Maybe he had a gun.

Yeah, it must have taken some tall courage to wait while they watched the lion come to them after they were told the lion wouldn't remember them.

Had to watch that one again. I showed it to my niece who was visiting this weekend. That's a big cat.

But think about the bond that we form with animals. My dogs can play rough with me, gnawing on my hand or arm and I have no fear. But my dogs are not Lions who have been living in the wild.

I think some of the animal "experts" mistaken about how an animal who has formed these bonds with humans react when confronted with the wild.

So often we hear these "experts" tell us that animals will revert to their instincts even when confronted with wild animals. But I submit this story for your review.

Dog saves family from wolf attack

Quote:

Day of tobogganing almost ends in tragedy as wolves stalk children Lena Sin, The Province Published: Wednesday, December 26, 2007 With their protruding rib cages and shrunken bodies, there was no question the wolves were hungry. Shadow saw them almost immediately; the children and their parents didn't. In the dusky northern light three days before Christmas, two Fort Nelson families came dangerously close to two hungry wolves, until the family dog, Shadow, narrowly averted disaster. After his family was stalked by a pair of hungry wolves, 36-year-old father and hunter Kyle Keays tracked and killed the female and male (pictured).View Larger Image View Larger Image After his family was stalked by a pair of hungry wolves, 36-year-old father and hunter Kyle Keays tracked and killed the female and male (pictured). The wolves appeared quietly at about 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 22, as darkness was creeping in on the winter wonderland 100 kilometres east of Fort Nelson, where the families were tobogganing. About 30 metres away, a sleighful of three children -- one aged four and the others aged three -- were being happily towed along the base of a hill by an all-terrain vehicle. Father Kyle Keays was oblivious to the danger until he suddenly heard his wife's shriek from the top of the hill. Shadow, their Rottweiler-cross, had broken from the grasp of Keays' wife and was bounding down the hill toward the wolves, who were moving in toward the children. "I looked back and saw my dog intercept the lead wolf -- there were two of them. They were heading towards the kids and the dog came in," said 36-year-old Keays, who was riding on a separate ATV.

The father of this family talked about this experiences on a hunters forum, can't find the link now. He said he was told by several people that having a Rottie mix in such a environment is dangerous because the wild instincts, they were right about one thing, instinct kicked in.

I think the guy saw the lion and they both saw the bond, maybe that's why he had no fear.

I was wondering if Christian would get a large mane. It doesn't show much until the shot of him with George Adamson and it's possible to see some of it sticking out. Perhaps that breed of lion doesn't have large manes or it takes a long time to grow one.
