Thank you, my human friend

A lioness jumps onto a man and embraces him, in what can only be seen as a gesture of love, Jan 15, 2014. Approaching 10 million views on You Tube the "grateful hug" between a 140kg lioness and the man who saved her life was named on Google's inspirational list for 2014. The fascinating tale has now been made into a documentary series with an incredible twist - the man must teach the lioness to hunt. This six-part film tells the story of the abandoned and dying lion cub who forms a powerful bond of friendship and trust with a young German man - Val Gruener. [Photo/IC]
