Artem, in the past year showed a film on the BBC, where telling the whole story, here is a brief about this film:
when a lion cub bought, all my friends help with food (his appetite was decent), where he grew up, walking in the garden of the church, and when it grew just decided not to return to the circus (which is usually done with a grown up animals is not very concerned with their future owners) and began to look for a suitable place in Africa.
We stopped in on my Kenya (there is a national park and it was so to speak department, where animals, who grew up among people who have been "domesticated" once accustomed to life outdoors, have adapted gradually, there was a great enthusiast of this case, who agreed to take a Christian), but needed permission from the Government of Kenya + transporting, waited a couple of months (at this time found a married couple, which has provided the lion in the waiting time "residence", they had a large manor house and there he built a large aviary, the owners also lived there).
Then he found the plane, transportation, about a month the owners lived with him in Kenya, then left, because Christian had to learn to hunt, to get acquainted with the new habitat and to forget the people.
His previous owners came to visit him every year, one such visit, they slept together, had been shot, when the lion lies beside a kitten, and everyone is asleep .... then trips became less frequent, and Christian has gone in to the lion's life ...
Initially, the American student did write about the story, when it reviewed on the Internet many people have found the owners and the BBC made a film.
Very wonderful and touching story
