Lion hugs and kisses

I hope this is ok to post here, got this email yesterday and thought it was pretty amazing. It's about a woman who rescued a starving lioncub in Colombia and it became too big for her so she sent it to the local animal centre where she visits it everyday. Quite amazing really.

I think the story is that these two raised this lion as a cub and realised it into the wild. Groovy hairstyles too!! ;)Yeah baby!

I find it amazing to see how similar lion behaviour is to the domestic cat - my little Pugs does exactly the same thing - cept he is cuddling my knees instead of my face!

That's adorable - it'd be scary at first to have a lion jump up at you like that though!

Cool man, actually the lion seems to have a stronger bond with the blond guy with the Van Halen hairdo he went for him first and then kept going for him afterwards as well. Despite the strong bond that exists it still took some cahunas to stand there and take the hug fair play.

Lion hugs and kisses
