Lions are some of the most dangerous animals known to man. BUT there is one man who is part of their pride. Kevin Richardson, an outdoorsman who lives just 30 miles north of Johannesburg, has an amazing ability to communicate with some of Africas most feared predators. His conservation area is home to lions, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards and panthers. He is able to live with them, sleep curled up with them, swim with lionesses, caress cubs and tussle with males. This exciting and touching series will take viewers on a journey to the stunning African wilderness, giving them an exclusive insight into the life of the real Lion Whisperer.

I wish Kevin never gets old... We need more people like him ❤️
not really he can adopt a kid from a township id be more impressed,in fact ill be far more impressed ..that doesnt blow me away one bit
this was like a decade or so ago. Still looks the same to me lol
@@brekerickson9664 He has some gray hair, and his own lion park (but Ami’s gone now 😢)
@@denysecoop7356 Yes, the vehicle tires r safe💔 but Meggy & her tuft of hair are still there ❣️
@Brek Erickson oo.aao.oiii
It was so nice to see Amy & Meg again and to remember how much those two just loved you. It's so awsume that Meg isn't alone anymore.
You gotta love kevin i hope he lives 100 years and keep helping and teaching we need more people like him❤️
So much love💞 that Kevin gives all the animals brings tears to my eyes 💞 such a God given gift! 4-12-24
Kevin is an exceptional human being. His commitment to these animals is unreal.
Xello love Uzbekistan
When Meg and Amy hug Kevin awww they melts my heart
Isn't it sweet? He's literally their dad. Have you kept up with their story into senior adulthood? It's very touching.
God bless Kevin for treating those amazing animals with love and care ❤❤❤
Gambit is so innocent.
I think he's Melman from Madagascar. :)
Cannot believe that those two little munchkins grew up into the gracious meg and amy. Kevin, may god be always with u, may u always be blessed so that u keep on doing the work that u r so dedicated to. U r a wonderful soul
NB o
Kevin has the highest level of humanity
Well said. 😊❤
I applaud this man. He proves that animals are not "man eaters" or "emotionless" and that they have a heart, show love, and seek companionship.
+Oswald Boelcke Exactly man. Could not have said it better myself. I work with animals, including lions and I've never once felt threatened by them because I understand the animals I work with. Yeah you get scratches and bites, but it's expected with the job.
Another nut who thinks wild animals are not wild at all. I applaud your effort to make people with a brain laugh.
+petra baum um Yes we do. THEY DO FEEL. Humans are animals and if you watched ANYTHING on ANIMAL BEHAVIOR you would know this. the capacity to feel is not just among humans. Humans are not that special. WAKE UP
+Proud2bGreek1 you're the one that's stupid. Animals have their own societies and ways of expressing themselves just like humans do. WE are NOT THAT SPECIAL. Many of our behaviors are shared with lions and other animals because of us all being mammals. You would know this if you knew anything about animal behavior.
+Gnev Gnok He is not the first The King of Ethiopia had plenty of Lions that lived with Him in his palace.
Kevin's passion and love for his animal friends still as strong today as it was when this documentary was made shows how much love this man has for the Earth's creatures. Humanity has ruined this world and brought nothing but misery to man and beast alike.
Votre commentaire est la pure vérité ❤❤❤❤
@@tizirik4071 oui
Not humanity, greed...
@@alisskanetos1229 Humans are the greedy ones. But there are a few exceptions like Kevin.
Ten years on Meg and Amy still love him as much, a real bond and full of trust, what Kevin has done since this doc is incredible!
WHEN THE LIONESS OFFERED HER BABY TO HIM I CRIED...THAT WAS SO HONORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL.. THIS GUY IS AWESOME AND THEY LOVE HIM!!
CJ Obi when!!
12:40
maybe its the cub that died
maybe she gave him because she saw a problem 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
but he didnt care
@@TheOne-wl1yo I seriously doubt that but ok. She couldn't see a problem at that time. She killed the cub because he was the weakest, and at that time they were all too young and weak. Also, Kevin would notice something like that.
@@DeeFightingDreamer i understand
it was just an idea
you know .mother's instinct haha
who knows anyway
This is nothing less than extraordinary. I love the fact that, despite his familiarity and friendships with these beasts, he never takes foolish or unnecessary risks and always remains respectful of their feelings, moods, power, and potential.
My burning questions: (1) Was Pelokghale ever reunited with her cubs? (2) Was her friendship with Kevin ever fully restored?
Tal vez si! los animales no tienen sentimientos de venganza.🙄🇦🇷🌎
I love this comment a Million times
Thank you for this marvelous job that you doing to give these to animals a second chance to live. You work so hard but you manage to give these animals all your love
Yes and yes at the end of the video she was with her cubs and with Kevin if you played the whole video. From 46:09
Meg & Ami as babies is so adorable. Breaks my heart a little that Ami isn't here but considering Meg and Kevin just put out a video 3 days ago their relationships going strong to this day fills my heart with joy. Kevin is making such changes in the lion community that will make the difference in future captive big cats in Africa.
GIVE THIS MAN AN OSCAR
absolutely he deserves it!
Oscars are for cinematic achievements.
#Sun Shine I don't care!
i thought oscar is for sport
lol, sorry Leo, it looks like even a lion handler in Africa will get the oscar before you.
this is all possible due to years of hard work and study in understanding each of these lions, what I love about Kevin is his honesty in that he doesn't proclaim to be some lion tamer, he knows very well you can't tame lions, that some day maybe a lion will have a bad day and it could go wrong for him, but what he does is put trust in the bond he's built with them for years and years - he's not running around all the places saying he can magically tame lions, no, he simply knows HIS lions that he's worked hard to build a bond and trust with. Kevin is realistic about his abilities, that's what really sets him apart
BetaArtemis 6
He's also very careful. He has mentioned many times that he has to monitor the lion prides before he enters them; he won't enter if they're grumpy.
BetaArtemis 👌
He treats them w the respect they deserve and doesn’t act like they are a house pet or force them to do insane tricks for humans. He NEVER takes the bond for granted! He knows he has to earn it and maintain it
...And he's a fool.
What a wonderful man he is!...an inspiration...
Yes lovely and you can also see the love and contentment in the youngsters eyes and playfulness !
Love Kevin and his passion for his animals in his care.
It never gets old to me watching Kevin and his Beautiful Lions !!!! I love it !!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Kevin Richardson has wonderful job. He has proved that Every thing is possible in the early stage of animal with love and affection. I really appreciate him.

Incredible to see how Meg and Amy have grown 😭
So bittersweet to see the sisters in their prime with Kevin - RIP Amy! ❤️
Oh my goodness, Meg and Ami are so tiny! I'm used to them as full-grown lions from his other channel. What sweet cubs!
This man has a special brave Heart ❤️
Por muchos años que lleves con ellos, no dejan de tener instinto salvaje
Those lions cant live without kevin..
If Kevin go away from them, all of lions and others feels something missing everyday..He is now a family member..
So good to see this.
Dumb talk
@@lamasterbatonlll1383 🤡
@@lamasterbatonlll1383 how is it dumb talk?
Been a long-time admirer...of Mr. Richsrdson...NOW decades later...
Kevin stands Stong in the face of any adversity..frm
outsiders....The Lions + the other animals he cares for. God chose the right man for the job!!!
Kevins genius is on full display when he wants Tau to get in the back of the truck...like he said..."I could've easily closed the door behind him"...but no...he did it the right way...showed patience...and gradually let Tau get accustom to being in back of the truck...that was so good...love K Richardson...world would be a better place if we had more like him... Gambit...phones for you...lol
This guy gave up his life to bond with these majestic creatures and gain their trust #respect
He didn't give up his life, this is his life :) And what a wonderful life at that.. He has a wife and baby by the way
Aww! I finally got to see Meg & Amy when they were cubs. They are so cute & smart. Meg acts the same now as she did then. I also got to see their parents, Tau & Tabbie. Even seeing Kev save Bongani as a cub was amazing. Poor Peloghale.That was probably the reason she offered her cub to Kevin as she knew instictively that it may be weak or not survive, but in the end, she killed it. At least he saved Bongani and his siblings. Bonnie was so brave having her cub where she did. Geena is such a legend and her boyfriend Trelli is a laugh too getting car rides.😅
Me too❗❗
Wow tau still alive ? How about napoleon?
if i'm not wrong i think napoleon died a while ago @@flawlesslawless4180
Kevin is amazing. God bless your soul👍❤😚

Hi
If all boys were like him women would never resort to stripping for $. This guy has the biggest heart known to man.
I think I have a strong man crush on this wonderful man. He embodies that which is good, caring, honest, incredibly dedicated and courageous. Fantastic human being....
Kevin Richardson is a wizard with animals like the world has never seen and I think that's the greatest wildlife documentary ever made...I've watched it 3 times and it just gets better and more amazing every time
You can sure get addicted to this.........
Catpeople absolutely..
@@catpeople6315 omg exactly
What a incredible man Kevin is ...most amazing fantastic person of this world...he is having so much love and care for these animals... salute hats off to you
I've watched quite a few of these videos, but I didn't realize how difficult Kevin's job is until watching this one. Seeing that baby cub's dead body and knowing it was his mother that did it was a shocker. Now the lioness is unhappy with Kevin for removing the other two cubs from her care -- it really showed just how difficult his job must be.
I'd be super leery of her after that.
La leona quedó enojada, suele suceder que a veces matan a sus crías!!!😐😑
Idk why she did that that not nice maybe she didn’t feel him or was not happy since it was her first child
@@angelestells1773 porque hacen eso? Puede ser porque era mama por la primera vez?
Gambit is my spirit animal
one of the most beautiful stories ever....the love between kevin and lions...
That giraffe is so chill lol
Sherron High on weed probably
Rashaun Campbell
God bless him and his all animals and shine the light upon them.
Seeing Meg and Amy so young makes me even sadder that the old Lioness passed recently. Rip Amy
When you think about it Kevin has recreated the ideal human relationship into a version compatible with these animals.
-Has a good understanding of behavior and needs
-Actively tries to avoid doing anything that would cause distrust
-Respects space and privacy
-Does not punish, but lets them know when they do something wrong
-Likes to take things slow
-Is always willing to spend time together
-Forcing things that they can't deal with, or hate is unheard of
-Everyone gets the same amount of love and care, never excluding anyone that needs it.
Relationships make for a hard life, but this guy has it down to a science when it comes to understanding it for animals.
Kevin has a beautiful spirit and you can see that God gave this gift. What an amazing gift! Noah was the only one that could get near the animals when he was building the ark and loading the animals into the ark. Kevin reminds me of Noah and Daniel in the lions den. God bless you Kevin and thank you for sharing your gift to the world about these beautiful lions and the other animals.
I didn't even know that about Noah. Wow.
The way the lions grab him and demand his attention is amazing. That big male lying on his lap OMG.
Isn't that something
I wonder how he even can walk under the weight of his balls of steel.
Best comment EVER!
Er... i meant the original comment.
lots of juice and squats :P
Leg day. Erryday.
the camera man also got a steel balls
I am a HUGE fan of Kevin - I watch his videos every day, no matter how many times I have seen them before. His interactions with animals gives me a glimpse into the world as I wish it could be, with empathy for creatures as distinct individuals with different mindsets, needs, aspirations and emotions. Kevin is surely blessed by God to have this gift and we are blessed to have Kevin.
Showing love and devotion to these animals is showing the same to God. And it is so amazing to note how the animals reciprocate. It is important to remain respectful of their moods and power and not take anything for granted. Excellent video.
wow, He has an amazing social skills with animals, I can't even socialize with humans,\,
I think you're on safer ground when you say you cannot socialize with humans. Animals, in comparison to us, are more than likely to form sustained bonds.
@@satadrusengupta9136 Do not warrie... Kevin has Saturn in Seventh house, ergo, he has problems handling and keeping a love relationship with a human partner :D
@@RufyImNotReadyToDie Saturn in the seventh house? As in how many houses he has with those large cats around? He does have a family - wife and son. Or doesn't he?
if so, then i guess she is an angel...
🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why but I find it so amazing that 'hugging' is not just a human trait! It's the instinctive result of the need to be near another living thing to feel them and smell them yet it's such a basic physical action with so much more emotion involved concerning the heart! Does any of that make sense? It's beautiful on many levels is what I'm trying to say I guess!
OMG, I enjoyed this video so very much. I'm really tickled by Gambit. Glad that Kevin is there for those animals.... GOOD JOB Kevin!!!
Thank you!
I am extremely scared of animals but after watching this video I realised that baseless fear should be eradicated. Kevin Richardson is a gifted legend who can understand the language of love and trust. The way he raised these magnificent beings prove that meticulous upbringing can mould anyone into a good shape. Not to forget wild beasts are beyond taming but they put in their best efforts to be polished and gentle. I am so touched. 🥰🥰
beseless fear you say
This video is the sweetest thing i have ever seen I have never seen that amount of trust between lioness and man when she offers her baby to him there is an unbrakeable bond that is the best thing ever
Along with that with the different scents of different animals on his shirt and the animals are still calm
I cannot express how amazing this is
Gambit is asking for kevin's attention.
Kevin Richardson is an Angel on earth. This is such and amazing, and beautiful story, it brings tears to my eyes.👍🏻🙏🏻
Doresc lui Kevin sa trăiască o viață frumoasa fără probleme!! Am rămas fără cuvinte iubesc animale !! Felicitări!! Respect !!
This is a gift of God to him!
How can something not real give him a gift?
Oh this is very real

@@AlexMartinez-hr3cv gods not
@@AlexMartinez-hr3cv you keep thinking that i dont care
This man has a heart for these dangerous animals, yet he put his life on the line whenever he's around them. To show how much passion he has for these great beasts of the earth, many of y'all are just arrogant. What's the difference between him, police officers, those in the military, firefighter......yet they put there life on the line all day, everyday.....and if they die, they die with honor, respect, and glory for what they love and believe in.
The only man that I know, just by watching this video, is the 1st to say,
Kevin Richardson is EPIC!
May God bless Kevin and protect him always and he is so loving and special and gifted and talented to be able to love and care for such lovely animals Kevin is soooooo Handsome and a Real Man who has humanity and dignity and courage and love.
Napoleon, such personality! Amy and Meg, the love they have for Kevin is immeasurable! And of course Gambit, how could anyone not love him!
This man is a hero and a Gift to the planet..!💖💖💖
Gambit is like that nerdy kid that tries to hang out with the jocks lmao
So true 😂
Why would a nerd want to hangout with an intellectually inferior pion like a jock anyways.
Not even!! Gambit you would s just a young, sweet, innocent who thinks the world is good and all he meets are like him.
Actually a girafe is no joke, they can severely damage a lion since they're so big.
He’s adorable but, I worry about his safety. He’s so trusting!
May god bless him🙏🙏
I really have to admire a man like Kevin Richardson. He is doing so much to care and protect these wonderful animals. We need more men like him.
Oh my god, watching Kevin interactions with these animals warms my heart & brings tears.I can only imagine how Kevin must feel.All the love & joy it brings him.
You too much Kevin Is amazing
Is really wonderful
Kevin is extremely gifted... I absolutely love these videos!
I honor this man his talent is amazing God bless you, SIR. RESPECT TO YOU
I don't get tired of kevin and lions hugging
Man this guy is the best 🥉🥉🥉🥉😉
this man makes me happy on how far a human can go to help out amazing animals like all he have :) im speechless , warm my heart
El increíble mundo de Kevin Richardson. Corazón de León. Me fascina, núnca me canso de verlo!!!❤️🇦🇷🌎
LMAFO Gabit the giraffe is like whats up kitty cat?
I fell in love with gambit 😍 such a happy giraffe
i've been following lionwhisperer channel & heard him talked about Meg & Amy's story (inlcuding being taken way for breeding) many times, but didn't know this is the video recorded that when they were still young. With Amy's recent passed away, this video definitely brings good memories of her. Also, amazing to see kevin still has his special relationship with some of these animals.
. Pp,
My
God Kevin looks so young in this video. If u watch all the videos over the years it’s like u got to grow up with him and all his animals.
Kevin i must say you are a very lucky man to have all of those wonderful friends in the lion's and hyenas oh yeah and Gambit..iv watched this video 4 or 5 times now just as i have all your videos... it's just awesome to see how wonderful the love those lion's have for you...
I would love to see someone mess with this guy when his friends are literally kings.
He is a brother to them. You dont mess with a lions brother lol
Awesome I’d love to see someone attack Kevin around the lions I bet they would shred the person to pieces in a split second..
I have nothing but total respect for a person who has such respect for animals, wild or otherwise... This guy is amazing!!!
He’s incredible with all his animals.
There are not WORDS to express e joy I get from Kevin and these charmers!
watching his reach up and casually pet that giraffe made me realize-
this man leads a blessed life
Omg his face at 40:45, you can see how heartbroken he is:( He tried to put on the brave face.. I want to meet this man. He's got the most incredible job ever,,,
I burst in tears to see how the lioness trusted Kevin with her new borns❤
This man has an AMAZING gift from GOD himself.......
Gambit is a straight up savage, lmao
It's amazing to see you in the older films when you were just starting off. It's amazing to see Amy and Meg as cubs. Tau who I only heard you talk about. Seeing a young Geena. Hilarious to see the hyena named Trelli. Reminds me of your relationship with Woody. But Woody doesn't ride in your new vehicle. Lol. But it's just amazing to see you with the animals you started out with and through Love and Care that some of them are still around. After so many years. Broke my heart when Pems milk dried up and you had to take her cubs.
I think whats key for Kevin is that these animals can sense fear or confidence, and Kevins complete confidence and lack of fear allows him to get such a high ranking and respect in these hyena packs and lion prides, despite being potentially much weaker than them.
For those who are not aware - Kevin has a channel here on YT called "The Lion Whisperer." He's still going strong with the animal care.
IT IS AMAZING! ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE WITH SO MANY AT ONE TIME AND EXTREMELY DANGERS ONES. I WOULD RATE THIS AT OUT OF 5 (5 STARS +)
I loved this I'm surprised I watched the whole thing
He's amazing
lmao gambit just strolling up "whats up guys"
What they forgot to mention was Meg and Ami were sold to a breeding farm and it took Kevin a while to get them back. When he went to get them he was shocked at the overcrowded conditions and realized how horrendous the industry was. That's when he decided to take it in to his own hands...
Kevin Richardson´s unique ability to read and bond with these predators and become part of their pride..... - it is just breath taking and awesome. Meeting Kevin Richardson and his feeline family is definitely on my never to be fulfilled bucket list.....🥰
Look how far things have come. Now there are walks with them out in the bush. Where #askmeg is one of the greatest things to watch as they get to be out and be lions.

I love Gambit lol
this is really old like 10 years old go watch him at lion whisperer
yeah hes so funny
Gambit reminds me of a dog I had ( in personality wise asses lol). She was oblivious to danger, thought everyone was her friend and was just a laid back chill dudette. I always wish I had such a life!
Gambit the loner.
Sam D omg me too!!Hahaha
Gambit is such a star 😂
May your life, Kevin, be long-long-long!! Because I see you're very happy with your animals!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Beautiful, just beautiful. You can really tell they have a true bond. I find this so inspiring and amazing. This truly shows that animals and humans can work together.
That made me cry when she gave her new-born to him. This guy is awesome
God bless Kevin to show every one that animals have and understand love, respect and friendship. Golden age is approaching .
What love, what grace! God bless you Kevin!
Literally have tears of emotions. What beautiful relationships Kevin has! He had to take a chance, and does daily. Yes, it can be dangerous, but what a life! Pray daily God keeps His protection over you as you care for these animals.
This video is truly beautiful. I take my hat off to him, as I would have never had thought of lions as an equal in considering its feelings and mannerisms to be so adaptable. Hopefully with everyone seeing this, it will open our eyes to the devastating effect we are having to the wild.
