If you like cats (see post below), then
wait till you see these guys…
A fully grown lion can exceed 250kg
in weight, and is the largest of all natural living cats. The lion is one of
the most powerful animals in the world and is the undisputed ‘king of the
jungle’. Lions defend their pride aggressively, and may consistently lead the
defence against intruders if this is their role within the pride. You do not
want to come up against one of these!

However, this isn’t to say lion’s
don’t have a sweet side. Take Christian the lion, who was purchased in a London
department store as a cub by Australians John Rendall and Anthony Bourke. After
growing up with the two men and living with them for a number of years (including
driving around in their Mercedes!), he grew too big and they made the decision
to release him into the wild in his native Africa.
One year later, the former owners
decided to go looking for Christian, even though they were told he would not
remember them. I almost cried when I saw this video…
