Those animals absolutely love Kevin, just as much as Kevin loves them.
Kevin has raised these lions since they were cubs, so he's got a good relationship with all of them and they see him as family. Meg the lioness is practically his wife. lol
Gotta love Meg 😂
I dearly love them all Lion, Lioness, Hyena's, lepers, and Paint wild dog's !
@@Ahjusshi_Brown Meg is the star so was Amy and hope soon Gabby and Bobcat would be popular as Meg and Amy
i know him persinly i com from south afrika
Except she’s not.
That guys is more protected than The Mafia Boss
The primary difference between Kevin and others who have been attacked/mauled/killed even after raising a large predator, is that Kevin doesn’t think of these animals as his “pets,” he thinks of them as companions that he has a responsibility to care for and respect.
For Kevin, the lions in his care are all unique individuals with very distinct personalities and dispositions and he never forgets that, nor that they are in fact lethal to humans if the human is a dumbass.
Kevin has been injured, but he admits the reason he has is either because he forgot himself in the moment (I know of only one occasion) or it was purely accidental - as in the lion was responding to him like it would any other member of the pride, but unlike another lion Kevin’s human flesh doesn’t stand up to lion teeth and claws like another lion’s skin/flesh would…
And he also has a giant reserve with tons of acres, he doesn't keep them in small cages where they go crazy
Lions do not usually go anywhere near the waters but the level of trust Meg has with Kevin is crazy. If he goes into the water, she would definitely swim to get to him. Just an amazing bond a human can have with wild cats. Remarkable!
how do they drink then?
@@mayainverse9429 drinking water and swimming in it are both different things
@@mayainverse9429 Are you trolling haha? AlL animals/people need water but everyone cant swim? how does that work??? MINDBLOWN...
That’s a myth. Lions are very comfortable in water. While with very little water u don’t see many playing in the water with most waters having crocs or hippos which will kill a lion. They know this so are very weary. But as u see here some areas where lions exist they are very comfortable and can spend much time in water.
@@craigstanton4803 Did you even read what i wrote? How can a Lion surivie without water? Did i say anything about that they cant swim? They need Water to drink. Everyone gets thirsty. SMARTASS
He is not their owner though. Its more like a friendship. He never uses force. It has to be mutual every time.
👍👍👍👍 very good
and not just lions he hangs around and is with LOTS of big cats, lions, tigers, jaguars, you name it. He does a lot of park work, rehabilitation work, safari work, etc.
@@eolsunder ohh I know bro.
I've been watching him for years, he lives such an amazing life.
Ever seen Dean Schneider?
@@Kalimbu yeah he’s also great!
And yes he also has several types of hyenas . Kev also four black leopards. Been watching him since covid-19 started , I find it amazing .
this documentry is about 20 years old go and see what hes created to date on his channel
It's actually only 7 years old, because kevin is only 46, and he was 39 at the time this was made.
I've been subscribed to Kevin for years, and I love him! I love animals anyway (much more than humans) so I understand him. And I absolutely love cats, including the big ones. Anyone who is working to help conservation and providing any type of care or protection of these animals is nothing short of a HERO in my book!
I feel this way too. I would rather be around animals 24/7. Kevin & his lions are #1 along with ppl that strive to help wildlife & domestic animals. Conservation of mother earth. Ty.
Kevin is a real gem in the world. He has so many lions that he has saved and i always look forward to his videos of the lions. One of my favorite RUclips channels to watch him and the lions.
He's known as the Lion Whisperer. He's amazing. I read his book, "Part of the Pride" twice. I've been following him and his lions for over 12 years.
Kevin doesn't go in with any lion, he's build relationship with these lions since they were cubs.
Oh yeah! Kevin Richardson has a heart of gold and those cats know it. The Big males have accepted him as one of the pride. It's so strange. He also does it with hyenas!
Yes I noticed that,love Kevin's wild life sanctuary,I watch all his videos over and over again
ANd 2 Black Leopards!
When I first saw one of Keith's video's I thought he was just some crazy guy but for the past couple of years I've quite enjoyed learning from him. Most valuable lesson...Don't judge a person till you find out who they really are.
Kevin*
He celebrated his birthday yesterday. Lovely human
Kevin is the best
It's a relationship, same as any cat...it's just the cost for being wrong is way higher. But from watching his channel for a couple years, the relationships deepen with time and he's the primary reward provider and caretaker.
I stumbled across his videos one day a few years ago and I can't stop watching him. He posts a new video every Friday. He has, not only the lions on his sanctuary, but hyenas, and four black leopards as well. He's amazing!! You need to watch more of his videos.
Kevin has a RUclips channel - The Lion Whisperer. He is such an amazing human being 💕
"You will never find anyone like this man"
Me "how abt that guy called dean.. the lion whisperer..???"
I found him. He and Kevin both are cool
You really gotta react to more of his recent videos. He loves his lions so much.
funny thing is...ive watched so many vids for so long of kevin, that i am actively searching for people to discover keving and his pride. Good to see people watching discovering him
I've actually seen quite a few videos with this guy, and he definitely lives an interesting life. In some ways I'm envious of the ability to get so close with these big cats, as I also find them fascinating. But I'm not embarrassed to say that I wouldn't have the guts to do this.
Don't want to end up like the Grizzly Man.
@@Razgriz85 he's nothing like Timothy the idiot who just one day said hey I want to live with cuddly grizzlies. Kevin is an animal behaviorist who has cared for every single animal at his reserve since they were cubs. Don't compare him to Caldwell he's nothing like him!
Kevin is truly a very unique and respectable person. I sometimes find myself binging on his videos, like tonight, but it's all worth the lack of sleep 🤣
Haha i know what that feels like!
His interactions with the black leopards are the most interesting
You know how a house cat will play with a mouse, that's probably how we look to big cats . Amazed every time I see this guy.
The lions are on his game preserve. Most he has relationships when they were cubs, at no means try this with pure wild lions.
@Mark Reeves Go watch his content instead of making assumptions, you might discover something new. :)
Yes they are wild, and the twist is that he's been there since youth, and as such have the same grounds to form a family (pack) bond with them, apart from being another species.
Lions (nor any other animal really, except maybe chimpanzees) do not hunt their own, especially not their own pack. In the extreme cases they're starving. These will never starve thanks to the preserve.
Accidents, however, can happen. If you don't know their language, it would be easy to do mistakes.
Edit: And accidents are very most probably not going to be neither impairing, life threatening nor serious
Well, Kevin at this point speaks the language almost better than the lions themselves...
Nobody can predict the future, but Kevin is more likely to die from a car crash or heart attack or cancer than any of his family randomly turning on him out of nowhere.
@Mark Reeves They should have done it by now, he got alot of them and nothing have happend besides some scars. i was a sceptic but when a female lion gave him okay to handle her cubs there is no way he can't handle them, like he say he dosn't go when they are grumpy and he knows what to do, he held on to a lions teeth and pulled his tough out lol.
If you haven't kept up with Kevin since releasing this video, you should check out the cheetahs he is caring for until their release back into the wild.
He does not interact with them as much however because the purpose is rehabilitation and release. But all 8 are beautiful.
It was nice seeing Amy again. Although it was a punch to the soul. She is now running through Heaven's fields so to speak.
Its amazing how much I miss a living being I have never before met in person.
they are in a sanctuary. He is still amazing and brings awareness.
Kevin has hand reared these lions, hyenas and black panthers from the time that they were cubs and over the years he has developed a great relationship with them. But, keep in mind that even though these animals are hand reared they still possess wild instincts. Kevin is doing a great thing by giving these big cats and hyena's a loving, safe home. He is keeping these beautiful animals from ending up a trophies for wealthy city dwelling barbaric cowardly businessmen who selfishly pay to have these beautiful animals slaughtered, in canned hunts.
There was a white Tiger act in Las Vegas(Siegfried and Roy). The trainer was a good friend with a white tiger. One day the Tiger had a bad day and the Tiger bit him in the neck, while on stage doing his act, and almost took his head off. No more Tiger act. It only takes one bad day, with a wild animal, and that could end up being your last bad day!
Sigfried & Roy are idiots and use force and fear in their training do not compare them to Kevin go to his channel The Lion Whisperer and actually learn something before spouting nonsense! Those Vegas idiots weren't the tiger's friends they're abusive and neglectful of their animals! SMDH
Kevin has tons of amazing content on The Lion Whisperer channel. It's hard to stop watching so be careful if binging at night, lol.
You have so much to discover, even us fans learn to love these magnificent animals, learn their personalities, quirks, myths and things you didn't know. I don't have enough praise for Kevin and what he's doing. I really don't. He's so factual and passionate too.
To sum it up, the cheesiness of the channel name is completely gone for me.
And my life is richer for discovering it.
I agree! And, it's really calming watching his videos :)
Yep its addictive
ive collaborated with him on fundraising in canada . he is an amazing man. one day i hope to providesome strength and security for these dwindling gorgeous gifts of big cats
OMG the feels at seeing Meg and Amy double teaming Kevin again...so miss Amy...
The lions must be thinking wtf, he compared us to dogs😂
Ong I love Kevin!!!! I never see anyone react to him though 😭😭 thank you for this gift Courtney 🙏🏾🙏🏾
He still makes content showing his Lions, Hyenas, and Panthers on his YT channel “The Lion Whisperer”
Lions to me are the most majestic and charismatic creatures on the planet.
If I had the chance to do what Kevin has done, I would take it in a heartbeat.
I've had the opportunity to play with cubs in the past and that was awesome, wresting with 5 of them, hopefully I may get the chance to play with bigger version before I depart this world
@Andrew Brace - Definitely the most majestic and charismatic!
Never ever pet cubs otherwise you're dooming them to their deaths in canned hunting farms! Kevin always talks about these things & condemns the act.
@@jtalbot34 He condemns the people duping the public into thinking the establishments that do this are raising them for other purposes than canned hunting and the like. Kevins white lion Thor (called Charlie in movie) was in a movie Kevin was part of with some of the lions from his preserve . (different ages) Only recently watched it and it was surprisingly wonderfully acted, disturbing and touching. (mention because it goes into the subject of tourists industry , hunters, etc...but very well done in my book)
I would never do this with a bear. Now ppl have done this with bears they keep as pets. But have never seen someone do this with a wild bear. Don’t think that would go as well as this video. Bears do not have a pack mentality. So don’t think it would happen.
@@elisemiller13 And that is why he is spreading the word to people. He does want to STOP PEOPLE from petting cubs for photos or going on walks with young lions. If people stop doing it, then there will no longer be a need to have cubs for petting!
I’ve been subscribed to Kevin’s channel for well over a year now.
To support Kevin's Preserve join his Cup for A Cause, for the cost of one cup of coffee a month you can help his preserve. Hes top notch people Courtney.
A another thing you should get his Book ! Part Of The Pride ! By Kevin Richardson ! I been following Kevin Richardson for 10 years!
This was an awesome video. I've been following Kevin Richardson as well as Dean Schneider for quite some time now. What they both do with the lions as well as other creatures they have is absolutely amazing and very important that they teach people to love and appreciate these animals. Thank you for your video! 😍
This had me on tears 😭
Yes wild Lions, but not really wild, he has fostered them from baby to adult. They knew him all his life and thats why they accept him. Everyone else would be straight dead.
If you or I did this with the same lions we would likely die.
If you're interested in seeing more about Kevin Richardson, he has a youtube channel where he posts videos about his sanctuary. The Channel is called "Lion Whisperer".
Love Kevin and his dedication. He's the modern St. Francis...
Two men that amaze me that I follow are Kevin Richardson and also Dean Schneider. Dean Schneider was a wealthy business man in Switzerland and gave it all up to go to South Africa and start his own sanctuary. Check out Dean Schneider also. He and his lion pride are also awesome in the same way that Kevin Richardson is! They actually communicate with each other now and then. I have 3 cats, obviously a bit smaller, LOL! I love and adore them the way they do their beautiful creatures!
There's another fellow by the name of Dean Schneider who does a similar thing. Even hangs out while they're killing and eating.
“Let me know if you guys have heard of Kevin Richardson” 🤦😂
Meg and Amy were the cutest pair of lions I have ever seen. RIP beautiful Amy.
I’ve been watching Kevin for maybe 10 years,he’s amazing! He has Leopards and Hyhena’s and Cheetahs too. Most of these animals he has raised from cubs so yes they are wild but they’re dependent on him. Check out I am Puma and I am Cheetah too. It’s a Russian family that has a Puma and Cheetah that live with them.
that playful jump up exposing their belly, shows how much they trust him:)
I've seen a video with him within a fresh kill. He was right in there he had blood on him within a few feet of the feeding lions. More man than i
You're a whole vibe, keep up the great work!
Ps your smile is so contagious!
I’ve been watching Kevin’s videos for a while now. It’s definitely an interesting YT channel.
Been following Kevin Richardson for years now. His work is amazing and his relationship with those Lions is unbelievable.
❤️ KEVIN RICHARDSON human Ambassador for lions he has taken good care of his animals in his sanctuary spreading awareness to the plight of lions in South Africa ❤️
Sadly, Amy (one of the two cubs they introduced) died last year. I have been following Kevin's channel since 2017. The content is very interesting and hard to stop watching.
Courtney - I consider myself a gentleman and my wife I ‘m sure would agree. I consider myself a nice person and always try to kind to those I meet. I have been watching your podcasts for quite awhile and I would like to pay you some compliments. You have a sweet and bubbly personality. Your energy is infectious and your smile lights up the room. When I finish watching you latest podcast I always come away feeling better than I did before I watched. You are a beautiful young lady and you have the ability to put people at ease when you speak.
Believe me when I say that the world would be a much better place if there were more people like you. I hope I’m not coming across creepy. It is just that I believe the world would be a better place to live if people said thank you a little more. It’s almost a lost art. THANK YOU for all those that you put at ease and THANK YOU for helping others who haven’t had much to smiled about lately. PEACE & BLESSINGS!😎👊🏻👊🏻 PASTOR Mike🙏
I hope you don't think this is creepy and I know this message was to Courtney but your message didn't sound creepy to me. You are so correct. People don't say thank you. Even when they bump into you, they don't even say, "Excuse me". Unfortunately, this is the world we have come to live in. The world is a much better place because of people like yourself who acknowledge it and try to make a difference by building someone up instead of tearing them down. Again, I know this was to Courtney but it made my day as well to know that thinking about and acknowledging others isn't lost.
@@dionnefontenot7364 I hope I didn’t come off as creepy. My intent was to compliment her for her Podcast content.
It is sad that we live in a world where you need to be on guard because of the truly evil people do. There are a lot of things on RUclips that are not fit to watch or listen to. Courtney has one that I like and I wanted to be uplifting and compliment her. Even when she discusses things that are serious in nature I still come away feeling good.
Her boyfriend is a Marine. I am a retired Marine . I am a retired United Methodist Pastor. I have five children and eight grandchildren. Because of my life experiences I have always tried to be uplifting and encouraging. That was my intent. I have been blessed in this life way more than I deserve and thank GOD for it everyday. I try to pass that blessing on. This was also my intend. Society has lost the art of being polite and saying “thank you”.
@@michaelmelton3246 I am a Christian myself I am also disabled and and a cancer survivor. What makes it easier to get up everyday and rejoice with a smile on my face is the fact that every day is a new opportunity to attempt to see the world through God's eyes. Thank you for your reply. Keep letting your light shine.
I'm on the fence over keeping any animal in any cage, but we have to do it sometimes in order to save a specie.
Fun Fact: a group of lions with two or more males that are related is called a coalition
i subscribed to his channel about a week ago it s amazing . makes my day. great guy so much effort with these lions and others
I have been watch his videos for as long as I can remember (bc lions are my favourite animal) 🦁
OH YEAH IVE SEEN HIM AWHILE BACK IT IS AMAZING, there is a hyena that he has that when he is whith Kevin he will taunt the lions lol
I love that man! He's The bomb!
What a privilege to be able to sit amongst these magnificent animals.
I feel sad for you.....because it’s 2020 and you don’t know the lion whisperer 😢😢😢
Kevin's love of the lions under his care is only surpassed by the tremendous respect he has for them. He is truly a blessed man who has dedicated his life to these amazing earth wanderers.
I love his show!! He has such a good connection with the lions
I love his Lions!!!
awesome video court. love kevin. been watching him for about a yeah. he is an amazing guy
I love Kevin, have been following him for years! (: Love his devotion and respect.
These shows rarely tell the whole story. He has immense respect for those animals and is always on his guard. But he raised all of those lions from cubs. Most of them were found abandoned or their mothers killed by poachers. he raised them and keeps them safe as that park. They are not "from the wild," as in never have had human contact, but ARE kept in an animal sanctuary. He never forgets what they are and what they can do. There are always people on the outside of the fence watching in case anything happens. He probably understands lions more than anyone else in the world. He respects them and they seem to respect him right back. He never pushes things beyond what would be acceptable to the lions.
Edit: Kevin Richardson has a whole channel called The Lion Whisperer dedicated to his lions and spreading the word about the plight of the lions in Africa. If I remember the numbers right, atm it's estimated that in the next 20-30 years, wild lions will be extinct in Africa due to poaching, big game hunters and farmers poisoning them. Even animals preserves like his are under attack from poachers. Conservation parks have to have armed guards to protect the animals from poachers and even so they don't always catch them all when they sneak in and kill the animals.
Wow I am amazed. How does he do that! I have seen lions in real life that is incredible.
kevin has raised these animals in captivity since they all were cubs
The thing with most predators, even if you have know them since birth, you can never act like prey. It doesn't mean dominating them or acting "above" them. It's...it's a confidence I guess. you might get bitten or wrapped or clawed on accident and you simply can't react like a prey item in that situation. Because the wrong reaction in an "Accident" situation could trigger a food response and that's when things get BAD. You said "Psychology" in the vid and it's true. A situation like this is as much about the psychology of the animals as much as it is the development of a relationship over time. How often do families fight? you can tell from the scratches on the faces of the lions that they get smacked by another pride member from time to time. The idea is to recognize when you're the one who's "in trouble" and diffuse the situation so a "fight" never starts.
My friend has snakes and is constantly surprised at how his snakes react to me, and how I manage them even when I do things that he would never do, simply because I read the body language and determined that what I was doing was acceptable to the animal. Luckily, I have never been bitten, I'm sure it will happen at some point because, well, it happens. It's one of those things that you have to be mentally prepared for and willing to accept. Kevin knows that he can't just walk into the middle of a pride he knows, let alone try to walk into the middle of a strange pride.
"thanks for sharing with me topics that I wouldn't have stumbled upon myself."
Me: Oh, looks like you haven't met the RUclips algorithm.
"What the hick?" lol
I've seen him in a video with a pride at an actual kill site. He was bloody and right in there when they were eating..... to close for me
Amazing guy Kevin he has such a unique gift and love of his animals beautiful to watch 💓
Kevin is awesome. Watch when he takes the Lions/etc for a walk out of their large enclosers. Kevin knows each Lion's personality. Lions. Leopards. Hyenas. Cheetahs. Love is awesome Kevin gets from his family.
Wow to get the trust of wild Animal like a lion must be magical. To find that pation amazing. Great man Kevin.
Great reaction, I was reacting the same way. You won't see me getting anywhere near those beasts but I do like what he is doing with them 😂😂😂
How does this dude walk with his huge balls???😁😁😁 He is crazy!!!
Do you remember the Las Vegas tiger act starring Siegfried and Roy? They had an act with tigers and Roy really loved his tigers, Then one night, one of his favorite tigers bit down on his neck and he's been disabled for his entire life. No more tiger act. It only takes one wrong reaction from a lion or tiger for them to kill you!
You have a valid point, but remember, tigers are solitary animals by nature, whereas lions are social. So if you are accepted by the pride, maybe it works.
Seeing these lions with a person gets me teary eye 🥲
The South African Steve Irwin is definitely Dingo Dinkleman, he is a NUT and so funny.
This man liiterally walks around the wild with the king of beasts.
The Lion Whisperer. Amazing person.
If you raise anything from birth, they will get to know you as non adversarial. As long as you don't break that neutral bond by being aggressive or penalizing, your generaly in a good place.
Like Kevin dean schinder also have same feelings with lion and he also have a lion pride in hakuna mipaka
In one interview dean said that Kevin was his inspiration
That was imcredible
GoPro did a video on this, it’s by far the best one imo
For the lions.....I think Mr Kevin is one of their family
Honestly he’s the only one out there that helps them, Kevin is a nice guy and the rest are only in it for money
Dean Schneider.
Dean s not like Kevin....
Kevin has a better mission....Dean has an ego
@@humaidhannooman4902 you are a million percent right, Kevin does it to help plus once they have died the journey isn’t over for him or the land while the other guy does it for his own wants I think
Kevin's a great guy. He lives all his creatures. Check out his channel Lion Whisperer tv on utube.
He is crazy brave! He has a guardian angel with him. I love all animals, but I am not this brave. Great video. My brother found this video and sent it to me t watch. I subscribed so maybe my husband will see it. Thanks for sharing.
i think he’s given people another view on lions and many other predators
That stuffs for real! LoL! He is an amazing human being!
If you liked what you see with Kev, please to go his channel & subscribe. If you can, donate monthly to help him in his work and benefit the Reserve. I hope many will go to The Lion Whisper page and tell your friends. The more awareness the better it is for OUR lions!! Thanks!
Oh Lord. What a glorious union between man and beast.
