I saw this on the news tonight. A true story, the
upshot is this.
Two Australians living in London buy a lion cub from a department store. They raise it in their flat in London. The authorities won’t let them keep the lion when it gets full grown so they arrange to get it released back in Africa.
The story.
Here is the first part of the story, re-enacted. Follow the links to the subsequent parts when Youtube opens up.
and here is the reunion a year later...
And while we’re talking of lions, do you remember Kimba!?

Fantastic stuff.
