Maybe the story about the (Christian) slave who took the thorn out of the lion’s paw - and then was confronted with the same lion in the Colosseum isn't so far from the truth

The missus has found these youtubes of the Christian the Lion story - she cries whenever she sees these lol.

PS People not interested in conservation needn't bother to watch or pretend they are interested

Christian the Lion - 2008 Aust Interview - 1st half

Sorry, but I'll just post this last quote on this one ...
about the 4m45s mark:-

When we had the opportunity to take him to George Adamson, George said to us
"You know, you guys are taking a chance
I mean, he's (Christian's) 5th generation domesticated
Not like Elsa who was born in Africa, and knew the smells of Africa
whereas Christian's mother had come from Rotterdam zoo
father from Jerusalem
born in England (Ilfricham? Altrincham?)

So we've got a Dutch Jewish Lion, born in England, raised by Aussies, and going back to Kenya ... so (laughter) we've got quite a little cocktail here
...

but after a day or so, George said "Look, he's gonna be fine, very intelligent etc" - probably the Aussie influence lol

(PS proof of unconditional undying love )

This one ... crazy fisherman who take the bait out to the sharks ...
Stockton Beach ( near Newcastle) .
apparently illegal now..

"In 10 weeks they landed and released 11 Great Whites - they never caught the same shark twice"

Great white Shark Hunters _ Stockton Beach

PS here's another one, ends a bit differently
(The missus says the only way a shark is gonna get her is if it gets to her through the shower rose )



We've all taken chances on that score no doubt
