Christian was separated from his parents at an early age and put up
Sale in a London department store. Christian's parents were zoo lions,
The father came from the Rotterdam Zoo and the mother from Jerusalem,
And they lived at the ilfracombe zoo. When they had cubs, the zoo sold
Them, and two cubs went to the department store.

Two
Men, Anthony Bourke and John rendall, found him there and immediately
Fell in love with him and determined to buy him. They scraped together
The money and brought the little lion home when he was only a few weeks
Old. They named him Christian.

Tony
And John dedicated themselves to giving Christian the best life they
Cocould, and the bond that developed between them is a joy to behold.
Christian was a remarkable lion, obviously very intelligent and loving,
And gentle to everyone, both human and animal.

As
He grew, Christian began to need bigger facilities than Tony and John
Cocould provide. Thanks to a chance meeting with Bill Travers (who had
Starred in the movie born free), they hit upon the idea of sending
Christian to Africa to live as a wild lion.

Bill
Travers contacted George Adamson to set up the project, and came up
With the idea of making a documentary movie of it all, to fund
Project. Christian is an absolute joy to watch in this movie. The love
He shows, his intelligence, hisJoie de Vie, Are
Beautiful.
