Animal Planet debuted “A Lion Called Christian” yesterday, a TV show about the famous lion named Christian who was released into Africa’s wilderness only to fully embrace his former owners a year later.

I watched it and it’s actually a pretty good view into the life of the lion and the remarkable story that became a viral hit when the video was published by YouTube. There’s a huge backstory to the famous video and Animal Planet does a pretty good job of bringing light to that story. Animal Planet even goes so far as to find the original woman who first posted the video without any sound on YouTube and brought her face to face with the two men who were made famous because of it.

I’m sort of waiting for a torrent of the show to go online because I want to download it and keep it. But so far, no torrent for A Lion Called Christian yet. Check your local listings to see when Animal Planet is showing the segment again.
