  • This is the 'behind the scenes' video from an advertising job I did a few years ago with 'The Lion Whisperer', Kevin Richardson. I was the photographer and was lucky enough to have this experience working in such close proximity to the lions.

    The General Audience: Holy shit those are scary-ass lions!!!

    Thank you for showing it, I understand it was an exciting experience. You show us a different angle of the day in the sanctuary and the close relationship between Kevin and the lions they fit like a hand in the glove! It's a very good quality of the video🥰👌🌹

    What an awesome life you have, Kev, I'm so jealous. That has got to be the best fluffy family ever, you lucky soul ... And, yes, you're right, they can be very naughty, but in such a fabulous way ... Hats off to you ...

    It's funny when you seen a lot of lion whisperer tv that you think you recognize the lions yourself even without an introduction. I could be wrong but I believe the first two lionesses were Meg & Amy -- with Meg ofcourse being the one jumping into the river. The next two are Bobcat and Gaby -- Bob's fearsome dark mane and piercing eyes is hard to mistaken. And the last two -- I think are Vayetse and Livy (Ginny's missing) cause that innocent and youthful, pink-nosed Vayeste's face, and Livy is bigger and lighter toned than Ginny.

      @sahifahaider6416 6 лет назад +15

      You're so right!
      That leap to catch the drone though seems classic Ginny (who's super athletic & full of energy)....Livy must've been channeling her

    • @natahliasmith2848
      @natahliasmith2848 5 лет назад +6

      Yes you are right.
      When you watch them for so long it's almost like you become part of the family.
      This just proves how informative Kevin Richardson is to the public regarding his lions.
      He is a great teacher ;-)

  • @DarthMahlgus
    @DarthMahlgus 6 лет назад +36

    Lots of animal trainers and others say " oh hes gonna get killed because of how he rolls with them, and this and that". I disagree... I think out of all the lion trainers and people similar to Kevin, kevin has the least chance of being killed. They dont associate anything bad with him. Of course it could still happen. But if you love skydiving, even though it could kill you, doesnt mean you should not do it.

    • @issaciams
      @issaciams 6 лет назад +8

      CJ actually i disagree with the sky diving analogy. Kevin is doing dangerous stuff with the lions but he is providing a lot of education and awareness. Whereas sky diving is just, well for fun and the adrenaline rush. It's just being dangerous just because.

    • @meganfuller7260
      @meganfuller7260 6 лет назад +1

    • @DarthMahlgus
      @DarthMahlgus 6 лет назад +5

      Thats my point though. People always talk shit about kevin and whjat he does, atleast its not a pointless selfish risk ya know.

    • @DarthMahlgus
      @DarthMahlgus 6 лет назад +3

      What kevin does is incredible, and because of the way he does it, he has a much lower risk of being attacked versus a "trainer with a stick".

    • @DarthMahlgus
      @DarthMahlgus 6 лет назад +2

      I think ya mis took what i meant. I basically meant if you love to do something, even if it can be dangrous, you should still do it. Even more so in Kevin's case because its for a incredibly good cause.

      It doesn't literally rip his skin to shreds but it does exfoliate quite a bit, so he tries to move his head around so they lick mostly his hair and beard.

    Blimey, these photographers don't ask for much, do they? I wonder why Kevin and the lions don't occasionally simply biff them and walk off. Especially the big cats. Meg looked nonplussed at having a cageful of them at her elbow and Bobcat certainly intended to fix 'em good if he could dig his way in.
