This video made me tear up

Just a bit.

I saw that on animal planet. Nice vid, crazy that the lion remembered them.

Can you imagine seeing a 600 lb lion running at you and you aren't sure it remembers you?

awesome as hell though

I'd heard of this but never saw the video. It brings two questions to mind:
1-The video says they had to get rid of the lion when it got too big...what the hell did they think was going to happen? Getting a lion for a pet seems like something a stupid college kid would do to get girls. Maybe those guys were zookeepers or something?
2-How did they train the lion to fend for itself in the wild? I'm surprised it could master the necessary skills.

I thought of those things too, but just take the video as it is, take it as it is man.

but it mst have been so cute as a cub

I was waiting for the attack. It was a nice video, but an attack by the lion to it's previous owners for leaving him because he grew up would have been much more satisfying.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard Drago say that, I'd have $1.40.
