Seeing as it was popular elsewhere

I emailed this to a few people, and when it turned up on their journal it seemed popular, so the rest of you now get it too:
Two people raise a lion cub and then returned it to the wild. A year later they go to see it - and you can see the moment it recognises them.

Completely awesome, but anyone in their right mind would have repeatedly peed in their pants pretty much up until it had successfully not eaten their head for at least a minute.

Raised by hand or no, a full sized lion running full tilt at you is not one of the most comforting experiences I'm sure.

Nah, animal rearer types are crazy. They wouldn't have believed it until their windpipes were actually crushed.
