question: Born in captivity, what lion was introduced into the wild by conservationist George Adamson?
answer: Christian the lion
context: Title: Captive elephants
  Passage: Elephants in captivity refers most often to elephants either born in captivity, such as a zoo, circus, or camp, or have been imported from the wild.  Most captive elephants are Asian elephants. Selective breeding of elephants is impractical due to their long reproductive cycle, so there are no domestic breeds.  African bush elephants and African forest elephants are less amenable to training.  There are estimated to be 15,000 to 20,000 elephants in captivity, of a total population of 40,000 to 50,000.  Historically, elephants in zoos and circuses were taken from the wild; today, many are born in captivity.
