A Very Special Interspecial Reunion

A lion that was raised by humans, but was released into the wilds of Africa, reunites with his former handlers a year later. What else can TreeHugger say but "OMGKITTIES!!!11!!!"? Oh, and to warn you never ever to try this at home, unless you're not particularly fond of your appendages. ::LiveLeak.com

Wow, that was really moving. Very cool. Can you imagine if some other person were greeted by these guys with that same gusto? The handlers must have been just ecstatic.

We got a house cat that grabs you that way and nuzzels your face with about a 100db purr. :-)

That lion looks very healthy so the handlers did a great job.

My question is whether the lion really recognized his handlers, or if he just heard a giant can opener? :-P

Wow.
This just shakes my understanding of basic animal (including human) behavior. In a good way, too.
It's so joyous.

Absolute trust: nature on humans, humans on nature. No fear, only sincere love for each other. A moving and beautifull lesson of integration and friendship.
