left the Kora Reserve in 1973. He made his new territory along the Tana river, but when the Wakamba herdsmen kept bringing their livestock to his hunting ground, he moved on. George Adamson said in his autobiography, "I used to count the days on which we hadn't seen Christian, but when they reached 97, I gave up recording them in my diary." Because a lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river.

"Lion Man" Gareth Patterson, author, environmentalist, and the person who continued George Adamson's lion rehabilitation work, revisited Kora in 1998. This is what he found...

  • Mufutu not christian

    It is not correct entirely, the one with the lion, if you see the video there appears an old man at the end of the video, who is just wearing shorts and no shirt, his name was George Adamson, some years ago I read his biography and I remember it quite clearly, he was a lion hunter first but later on he along with his wife Joan Adamson started a lion conservation programme in Africa, if you have seen a very famous movie 'Born Free' it is based on their life, he lived his entire life in Africa though he was an Englishman by birth, his wife abandoned him in later years and finally he was killed, now coming to the point, the lion which is shown in the video, if I am not wrong George had named him Mufutu, but he never became the head of his pride, lions who have been raised as pets barely survive in the wild much less become head of a pride, and Mufutu stayed its entire life near George like many other lions.

    Its amazing that people can put more value on an animals life than they can a human being. And even treat them better.It dose say that this is the way it would be in the last days.

      Inteligent men have always put animals before himself in order to be able to co-exist in nature.

    But not true. It's fiction. So why is everybody getting so uptight about it? That's like arguing over Bambi or The Lion King.

    Wouldn't that be funny if when the guy hugged Christian he just tore his arm off and said, "I'm just fuckin' with ya!" and proceeded to eat him alive while he F**ks his lion wife in the ass while her sister tosses his salad. Then the music changes from this song to Angel of Death by Slayer.

    In all honesty though, this was touching. I think I'm going to make a phon call I've been wanting to make for years now. Thank you.

    im calling bull.
    Sure seems like that lion would have several other lions following him, and even though it was a male lion, that when he jumped up on the guy the other lions would have helped took down the kill.

    Then that female lion just comes in and lets them pet it. I'm not buying it. (Or the DVD)
