A couple raised lion cub and returned him to the wild. Watch what happens when they reunite:

warn the viewers to turn off the sound!! Otherwise, the song just ups the cheese factor.

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,

I don’t see a mane on that lion. I think it’s a female and therefore wouldn’t be head of a pride.

lol @ Margari!

I initially thought the same, but when you look closely you will see that his mane is the same color as the rest of his coat and just a little thin

Aww man, I was waiting for the lion to maul them. *stomps off*

I saw this a while back and thought it was just a beautiful thing to watch!

Very cute!

It’s a male. Male lions usually don’t get those big, fluffy manes we classically think of until they’re pretty mature. (There’s a subgroup of wetland lions that never get them at all.) In some shots you can see–how to put this delicately–more concrete evidence of his gender.

I seriously teared up a little bit watching this. Margari’s right about the music though.
