King of the Jungle

I'm sure this clip has made its way around the web ad nauseum, but I saw it for the first time today [Thanks Mom!]. Six years ago a woman found a sick, malnourished lion cub in the jungle. She took him in and cared for him until he was too big, then making arrangements with a zoo in Colombia to take the lion. Here's what happened when she visited him in the zoo for the first time.



Animals are amazing. I'd like to think Burkly will do this to us one day!

Doesn't this just make you want a lion? OK, maybe I'm taking it a little too far, but my goodness that is one cuddly cat!

Jessie: I love your clip. Thanks so much for sharing and making me "ohhhhh" and "ahhhhh" all over again!
