Wild Animal Reunions

More than 100 million of us have seen the astonishing online footage of Christian the lion reuniting with the men who bought him from Harrods as a cub in the 1960s, then returned him to the wild when he outgrew their London home. It’s just one of many poignant and heart-warming reunions between people and wild animals to feature in this new, three-part series, which combines internet clips with bespoke footage filmed around the world. Anyone who dismisses the idea that animals have emotions is clearly talking out of their hat.
