I feel like assigning the term, "naughty," to Gabby is unfair. Gabby is not a person and her behavior may be totally acceptable within a pride. Every lion is different and should be accepted as such.
@@jmdmcarr it's an endearment and not meant to be negative, even Kev will tell you Gabby is a naughty lion because that what she is, most times, brings smile to our faces and we love her for it. You should watch their previous vlogs about Gabs to understand. Have a good day!
I feel like they all see Kevin as their own packs' leader, so he has the "permission" to smell like hyenas, leopards, human babies or tuna fish, and smell like having been eating any of them for what they are concerned. ;P He's the provider, the boss, he's not questionable, and I'm pretty certain they love him very much, too, for being the provider and because they can easily pick up on how much Kevin loves them too.
You are on the right track but not fully there. He isn't the leader. This is proven because bobcat is the leader, hence testosterone. When he plays with them, he falls on his back every time. It's something else. I posted a theory, me know your thoughts.
Well I think that animals don't have any kind of an insecurity emotions unlike homo sapiens who do get insecure of their relationship/bond when they see their favourite person being with their enemies.
Kevin, I have been watching you for many, many, many years. You're my absolute favorite animal lover. I have been watching since Meg and Amy...RIP. Watched them grow up, grow old. I can spend hours just watching you and your pride. Many blessings from Ontario, 🇨🇦 Canada
They are big. Not as big as a tiger but big. Kevin’s lion, Gandalf weighs 550 pounds! Most males are at least 400 pounds. Vayetse is also a very big boy.
@Baldhina Asnake Leopard-size might be stretching it a bit, but certainly some subspecies are smaller than most lions, or maybe even around the size of a big jaguar... the BEAUTIFUL (& rare) Sumatran tiger & the (sadly extinct) Javan & Balinese tigers are about that size!
Bobcat is so glorious...Gabby is so playful. They are probably very confident of your leadership...alpha male. I love your love for them.. Magnificent job, Kevin.
Mate, your videos are second to none. And watching you meet those animals on the level you do- I know it must be ultra tiring to love them that deeply, but that's what it takes to know an animal like that. Today we buried our boy Leo, born December 01, he was with us our whole marriage. The bond was exquisite. On my last day with him we layed together in the sun/ yesterday, and he leaned up to me and rubbed noses with me both directions 4 times. So 8 kisses.we both held his hand as he left us at 530 am today. Old age took him. He did not suffer. He was a blue Burmese, but was very much like a big cat in a few ways. God Bless Jake & Rebecca Australia
I'm very happy you addressed this topic in your video! I was thinking about this many times. How do they not mind that you interact with hyenas and vice versa?! It's really perplexing that they don't mind smelling each other from you and seeing you being friends with the "enemies". They are just amazing, it shows how intelligent and complex creatures they are 💕
That really is astounding. Considering how hyenas and lions are natural-born enemies, even in the enclosures. Yet they don't tear Kevin apart when they smell the other species on him. The lions obviously know, even though he smells like a hyena, he isn't one of them. And vice-versa. It's astounding.
If they got in a fight in the wild and their scents rubbed off on each other, they wouldn't just get rejected by their respective groups would they? I bet they understand that Kevin is protecting each group from each other.
Dear Kevin Richardson, i would like to thank you wholeheartedly for everything you do! Thank you for making so many ordinary moments extraordinary! Believe it or not, I've been waiting for a video with Bobcat and grabby Gabby for 2 weeks, hurray that day has come! I love Fridays! Thaaanks a bunch, Kevin Richardson!! ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ 🌿
Almost as if they know you're clearly not of their species but accept you because of your positive interactions and bond but don't have the same expectations of you that they would of one of their own. Can't say enough about how much I appreciate your love and efforts for these animals. Whatever we think about the motivations for their behavior, never ceases to amaze me the interactions they are capable of having with us when treated with respect and wisdom.
Kevins lions are so intelligent and trust him so much . They let him do whatever he feels with them and don’t get angry like animals. They do whatever he asks
This has got to be without doubt, the best channel on RUclips! Thank you to you and your crew, for looking after and loving these majestic animals. Big respect to you, Mr Richardson. Your compassion and love for these guys is palpable! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mate , you have put in loads of hard work to establish relationship with them . They trust you like their family member . That's why they don't seem to get bothered with your relationship with others .
I'm always fascinated by Kevin's interaction with his animals. It seems so relaxed and natural and the animals appear to accept him in a unique sort of way. Kevin is certainly a special person and I truly admire his mission in life. I'm getting rather old, but I would really like to visit his facility some day. Keep up the great work, Kevin.
It's easy to be impressed by anyone who can handle big cats in person but it's exceedingly rare that the person handling them is so understanding and kind-hearted like Kevin. Often times if you ever see videos of people handling big cats/bears/other large predatory animals, they've been declawed or treated inhumanely, OR the caretaker does not respect the animal enough to know the body language and is rolling the dice on his life. Kevin is a real treasure.
If I'm a wild lion, I'd want to live at Kevin's resort for life. It is the greatest thing to see these guys so content. God bless you Kevin for dedicating your life to the most beautiful creature that God ever created!
That over view picture of Bobcat walking was absolutely gorgeous. They are all beautiful cats, but I'm in love with Bobcat. He is one very handsome guy. And what can I say about precious Gabby? She is hilarious, lol. 🦁
@@Pirustae well yes I understand that Bobcat might not be the biggest, I was just using him as a reference because I was watching one of his video's just before watching this and others
Bob Cat is the most gorgeous lion I have ever seen. I understand the reasons why, but what a shame the circumstances of his life are such that he didn’t get to pass on his lineage. Such a waste of a magnificent male cat. I have mental pictures of at least one black mane beautiful proud son. Thanks Kevin.
Considering where they lived previously, it was a lion farm...so chances are..Bobcat would of most likely would of been sold and hunted and killed by trophy hunters. As Handsome and Majestic as Bobcat is...I AM SO GREATFUL Kevin took Bobcat, Bandit and Gabby when he left that place. We would have never got to meet them and relish in envy just to be able to approach these animals let alone be accepted NY them. Kevin has paid his dues, Kevin earned that right.
What an interesting observation about the animal acceptance of Kevin no matter who he is with😊. Amazing video with two beautiful specimens of the lion population. Thank you all.🙏🙏🙏
Bobcat and Gabby both beautiful lions. Love to watch Bobcat walking.....he has a nice body, tone, slim, and his mane is just gorgeous. Very nice lion and lioness walking together with Kevin. Just amazing and lovely. God bless them always.
Wow, can't believe Gabby behaved herself so well. She didn't even jump on you once. Not a single..... NO Gabby! Beautiful animals and the bonds you have with the different types. They all most just know you are that special person in their lives and part of their family but also think you are just a little out there because you will hang with those other types. Both Bobcat and Gabby were more mild in attitude today, no roaring from Bobcat showing who is the boss to the other lions besides hyenas besides Gabby being so tame. Love Fridays and I always look forward to your videos.
@@LionWhispererTV i missed watching your video and your animals my net was down... Good to catch up... I wanna to know.. How do you name your Animal? Why give ur lion the name Bob cat or Gabby? If you get what am asking
@@simmipooh23 Most of the animals he has is not named by him, the rescued ones already was named by other people before he got them. Cat remember really when it comes to those two tho, but he has told and explained it in one or some of his older videos some year back, you can find it out in channel's video gallery. You might need to go pretty far down in the video gallery tho.
I love that Gabby is such a trouble marker. She has such a unique spirit. Bobcat trying to be the cool, magnificent male lion then he has a crazy sister. It is too funny.
I love watching your videos with Bobcat and Gabby it always makes me smile and brings me a sense of peace, Thank you Kevin and your team for these videos ❤️ 🦁 what a wonderful gift to be able to walk and hug lions, leopards, hyenas and cheetahs.
Hi Dion I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Has Kev lost his mind????? Saying that Gabs's favorite thing is to jump on him??? WOW Kev! Gabby's favorite thing is....is....wait for it.....BITING AND FLATTENING TIRES!!! You silly, silly man. We're you testing us?? As Always, Light and Love~Yvonne💜
It’s incredible how animals have been engineered to disappear into the landscape. It’s even more incredible when you look at an animal like a leopard, cheetah, tiger, etc... you’d assume they’d stick out like a sore thumb, but it’s just the opposite.
This is just what i needed after a busy week! It is curious, but my indoor cat always notices when I've been around another cat and her response is always to give me a 'look' before rubbing herself all over me - I guess she's getting rid of their scent with her own. I always find it funny. They're smart enough to know you're still theirs, I think 💕
The best thing that exists on earth is your channel Kevin. Everytime it's just amazing how you interact with them . Much love and respects to you Kevin and to all the lions .
I'm new to this channel (just subscribed), but I've got to say that I'm hooked already. The bond of trust & love you have with these cats is just beautiful to see, Kevin x
I absolutely love watching the Lion Whisperer episodes. Bobcat rubs on his favorite human like he is just another Lion..Gabby is his Sister which is why she rushes him and he just accepts her.
Bobcat is patient with Gabby because they're siblings, that's love. They accept Kevin, with the variety of scents on you, because you're a part of each of their prides and groups, that is unconditional love and caring. I wouldn't say Bobcat is getting old, maybe it was really hot outside. 😍🦁💓💓💓💓❣
I just love your videos Kevin and that’s why I support you every month. You are amazing person and I must say we need more people like you in this world and it’s hard to find blv me on that one! God bless you! I miss Meg hope she’s doing good 😊
Bobcat and Gabby are so magnificent - I love them! It must be an awesome feeling to be accepted by them (I know you have worked decades for that privilege). I love how they are so playful - like cubs!!
Always look forward to my Friday’s knowing I get to see a new video. Always happy to see the beautiful Bobcat and gorgeous Gabby. Looks like Gabby behaved herself. ❤️
Bobcat loves his poo to roll in. Gabby was quite calm and not acting like a rebellious adolescent which is different and Kevin not yelling GABBY NO was strange but I enjoyed todays video thanks for sharing ! 🙂❤🦁
@@LionWhispererTV Haha! You make my days better Kevin Richardson. You are the true definition of an intelligent, wise & such caring person Your genorosity of spirit~~~may it continue to travel & inspire 'round the globe :-)
Kevin- the things you were saying at the end.... That is exactly what my father says whenever we watch your videos together. He’s 70, and doesn’t really do youtube (or anything online for that matter haha). But when I’m visiting with my parents, (and I always have my iPad with me) I inevitably put on some "Kevin videos" as he calls them, and he just gets into this kind of state... mesmerized.... impressed... amazed. And he always says things like, "That is just incredible. Those are wild carnivores. Look at how they love & respect him. I love that. That is truly amazing. Kevin is so lucky. He is blessed. He put in all the years of hard work and extreme dedication, and look how it’s paid off for him. That’s so wonderful." And he’s always so astonished by how the animals have all accepted you as a pride mate or clan member. (As am I, of course). But he always makes a point of talking about that, specifically. He just says "I can’t imagine how fantastic that would feel. That is so cool." Kevin really inspires my father, more than I even knew. Stuck here in the middle of the Midwest US, we will probably never get the opportunity to see such amazing creatures in real life, but seeing them in Kevin’s videos is the next best thing. Every time I go see my folks, dad always asks if there are any new Kevin videos that we can watch. It’s so sweet. (And even if there aren’t - he loves it just as much to go back & watch oldies but goodies). I just wanted to say thank you, for lighting up my dad's eyes and bringing him a little taste of the big, beautiful world, and giving us something else to bond over. We will ALL always love you for that. xoxo
It’s because they register you being not hostile/aggressive towards them, this overrides any other smell or being with others reactions. They live in the moment! ;) You welcoming them is all that matters to how they refer to you on a day to day basis: Second of all: Lions & Hyenas don’t think as freakin complex as humans! 🤣 That’s a blessing
Love the weekend thanks Kev what beautiful affectionate lions Bobcat and Gabby are 2 of my favourites. Your videos always kick my weekend off to a wonderful start 🐾🙏🙏😻😻💖💖🦁🦁🦁🦁
Whatever you want from life to do for yourself.. You got that, you dedicated your life to those adorable, been loved and saved animals. God bless your work, your dedication, your all cuty cuty boys and girls😘😘😘
It's so interesting when you speak about the relationship you have with these carnivores and how they accept you being with all of them. Impressive work, thanks you for these great videos. Animals have so much for us to learn.
There's no doubt that you work hard, but you live a blessed life. Watching and learning from your videos is the best thing, second only to Kevin vocalizing like a lion and cute talking his companions!
Kev, I am so glad you brought that up...I have always wondered if you went through some kind of "lion- cleanse" or " hyena- cleanse, before you went into their areas. Along the same topic- I also wondered, if they reacted differently- when they saw you, in each other cages. So, glad you were mentioning, this topic!!😉💞❤💞
It would be an honor to walk with Bobcat, and Gabby, they are both beautiful big cats. And you Kevin have such a special relationship with them, and you don't need me to tell you how lovely it is to be accepted by these 2 amazing furry friends. 🦁
Only got chance to see this Today, we were out yesterday, what a tonic seeing Bobcat with Kev head rubbing and bonding like only lions do, know one on earth understands lions like Kev truly truly amazing have a great weekend Kev,and all members too!
I was just about to mention Bobcats black. At first, it looked like he had a black marshmallow on his tail, lol. And she just seems to wait until you aren't expecting her! Gabby also looked a bit disgruntled that she didn't get to kill a tire, lol. My cats used to hiss at me if I smelled of another cat. My dog does pout, not that I cheated with another dog, that excites him, but if I go shopping without him, oh man, he'll come, smell me and pointedly turn his back and sit. Then he peeks to see if I noticed him! They are beautiful, Kevin, and every bit as 'sentient' as we are. I so love what you're doing. 👍😘🥰✌😷🎃
I think since Bobcat grew up with Gabby, he just accepts that she's naughty and that's why he's patient with her. Plus she's awesome.
They are brother and sister
Like a lot of older brothers, he ignores his sister!

To be greeted with a head bump by Bobcat = the stuff dreams are made of. Simply MAGNIFICENT. ♥️🔥👑

Agree!! Bobcat and Gabby make it all better!!
Dearest Brother Kevin Thank the lord for folks like you to be kind and thoughtful to these lions and leopards and all else. Thank You.
They probably think like "Kevin is off limits." So both the hyenas and lions have an agreement not to hurt you.
👍
I feel like they all see Kevin as their own packs' leader, so he has the "permission" to smell like hyenas, leopards, human babies or tuna fish, and smell like having been eating any of them for what they are concerned. ;P He's the provider, the boss, he's not questionable, and I'm pretty certain they love him very much, too, for being the provider and because they can easily pick up on how much Kevin loves them too.
You are on the right track but not fully there. He isn't the leader. This is proven because bobcat is the leader, hence testosterone. When he plays with them, he falls on his back every time.
It's something else. I posted a theory, me know your thoughts.
Hes actually been hospitalized 5 times by the hyenas

They are big. Not as big as a tiger but big. Kevin’s lion, Gandalf weighs 550 pounds! Most males are at least 400 pounds. Vayetse is also a very big boy.
You should see Gandalf the white lion...he is the biggest of them all...among the lionesses Meg and Amy have always been the biggest

Has Kev lost his mind????? Saying that Gabs's favorite thing is to jump on him??? WOW Kev! Gabby's favorite thing is....is....wait for it.....BITING AND FLATTENING TIRES!!! You silly, silly man. We're you testing us?? As Always, Light and Love~Yvonne💜
They understand Kev as family. Even if dogs and cats don’t like each other, Kev is neutral. He just smells funny sometimes🤣
I think you're like their free love & peace hippie pal, they don't hold you're weirdness for hangin' with hyenas against ya, and vice versa😉
This is well put! 😂
Aww my favourites are Bob cat and Gabby, gabs makes me laugh she kinda naughty, Bobcat so handsome his beautiful mane❤️
Ahh yes this video just made my week easily
Glad to hear!
It’s incredible how animals have been engineered to disappear into the landscape. It’s even more incredible when you look at an animal like a leopard, cheetah, tiger, etc... you’d assume they’d stick out like a sore thumb, but it’s just the opposite.
4:05 - What beautiful South African countryside! Kevin and his animals are really lucky to live there. :)
Kevin you are the best... thank you for being you and caring for these beautiful animals xx
This is just what i needed after a busy week! It is curious, but my indoor cat always notices when I've been around another cat and her response is always to give me a 'look' before rubbing herself all over me - I guess she's getting rid of their scent with her own. I always find it funny. They're smart enough to know you're still theirs, I think 💕
I agree, watching these videos is a perfect way to relieve stress
Bobcat and Gabby are looking more magnificent than ever. Always love Kevin's bonding moments with Bobcat and the other lions.🦁🐾💙💙💟
You have a special relationship with them and so wonderful. 🦁🦁
I can’t tell you how much I love watching these videos, what a treat! Thank you Kevin you make our lives better 😁🙏
The best thing that exists on earth is your channel Kevin. Everytime it's just amazing how you interact with them . Much love and respects to you Kevin and to all the lions .
I love going on these enrichment walks with you and the lions….thank you for this privilege.
22 years and still giving us with new and new and new knowledge
sometimes it likes that animals are better then human
I'm new to this channel (just subscribed), but I've got to say that I'm hooked already. The bond of trust & love you have with these cats is just beautiful to see, Kevin x
Awesome, thanks! 🙏
Started the week with an amazing members only video and ended it with The always fun to watch Bobcat & Gabby!!! 💕 Thanks Kev and crew!! 🦁🥰
I absolutely love watching the Lion Whisperer episodes. Bobcat rubs on his favorite human like he is just another Lion..Gabby is his
Sister which is why she rushes him and he just accepts her.
All i want to say is you are the best person i have known in my life that care to much about lions life my respect to you 💙💙💙
Agree I think the same thing! They are more complex than we can imagine & far more evolved than we give the credit for..
I get butterflies 🦋 in my heart ❤️ every time I see these magnificent animals.....such joy! 💫💕💫✨💕💞💫✨💞💕💞💫💫✨💫💞
Bobcat is patient with Gabby because they're siblings, that's love. They accept Kevin, with the variety of scents on you, because you're a part of each of their prides and groups, that is unconditional love and caring. I wouldn't say Bobcat is getting old, maybe it was really hot outside. 😍🦁💓💓💓💓❣
I just love your videos Kevin and that’s why I support you every month.
You are amazing person and I must say we need more people like you in this world and it’s hard to find blv me on that one!
God bless you!
I miss Meg hope she’s doing good 😊
Bobcat and Gabby are so magnificent - I love them! It must be an awesome feeling to be accepted by them (I know you have worked decades for that privilege). I love how they are so playful - like cubs!!
Bobcat and GABBY!!!!! The talking lion and the tire slasher, my Friday is made
Always look forward to my Friday’s knowing I get to see a new video. Always happy to see the beautiful Bobcat and gorgeous Gabby. Looks like Gabby behaved herself. ❤️
Bobcat loves his poo to roll in. Gabby was quite calm and not acting like a rebellious adolescent which is different and Kevin not yelling GABBY NO was strange but I enjoyed todays video thanks for sharing ! 🙂❤🦁
Happy you still enjoyed it Shirley, even without the shouting! 😆
@@LionWhispererTV Haha! You make my days better Kevin Richardson. You are the true definition of an intelligent, wise & such caring person Your genorosity of spirit~~~may it continue to travel & inspire 'round the globe :-)
I just had surgery today and this video is just what I needed to feel better
It's just like friday premiere...😍😍 Love you Bobcat n Gabby 😘😘
Kevin- the things you were saying at the end.... That is exactly what my father says whenever we watch your videos together. He’s 70, and doesn’t really do youtube (or anything online for that matter haha). But when I’m visiting with my parents, (and I always have my iPad with me) I inevitably put on some "Kevin videos" as he calls them, and he just gets into this kind of state... mesmerized.... impressed... amazed. And he always says things like, "That is just incredible. Those are wild carnivores. Look at how they love & respect him. I love that. That is truly amazing. Kevin is so lucky. He is blessed. He put in all the years of hard work and extreme dedication, and look how it’s paid off for him. That’s so wonderful." And he’s always so astonished by how the animals have all accepted you as a pride mate or clan member. (As am I, of course). But he always makes a point of talking about that, specifically. He just says "I can’t imagine how fantastic that would feel. That is so cool." Kevin really inspires my father, more than I even knew. Stuck here in the middle of the Midwest US, we will probably never get the opportunity to see such amazing creatures in real life, but seeing them in Kevin’s videos is the next best thing. Every time I go see my folks, dad always asks if there are any new Kevin videos that we can watch. It’s so sweet. (And even if there aren’t - he loves it just as much to go back & watch oldies but goodies).
I just wanted to say thank you, for lighting up my dad's eyes and bringing him a little taste of the big, beautiful world, and giving us something else to bond over. We will ALL always love you for that.
xoxo
I remember when I was 8 I always looked up at this guy I was amazed by the work he does with the animals I’m so glad that everything is still going 😊
It’s because they register you being not hostile/aggressive towards them, this overrides any other smell or being with others reactions. They live in the moment! ;)
You welcoming them is all that matters to how they refer to you on a day to day basis:
Second of all: Lions & Hyenas don’t think as freakin complex as humans! 🤣
That’s a blessing
Love the weekend thanks Kev what beautiful affectionate lions Bobcat and Gabby are 2 of my favourites. Your videos always kick my weekend off to a wonderful start 🐾🙏🙏😻😻💖💖🦁🦁🦁🦁
Your love for you animals Kevin is heartwarming!
Kevin, you tell a wonderful, warm and loving story with your animals. Thank you for allowing us in to go on your ride!
Whatever you want from life to do for yourself.. You got that, you dedicated your life to those adorable, been loved and saved animals. God bless your work, your dedication, your all cuty cuty boys and girls😘😘😘
These videos always make my Friday and my week. I can’t believe how much the sounds they make are so different
So happy to hear that! 🙏
Haven’t been home in 15+ years. These vids make so homesick.
It's so interesting when you speak about the relationship you have with these carnivores and how they accept you being with all of them. Impressive work, thanks you for these great videos. Animals have so much for us to learn.
It always amazes me how close Kev can get to these beautiful beautiful lions
There's no doubt that you work hard, but you live a blessed life. Watching and learning from your videos is the best thing, second only to Kevin vocalizing like a lion and cute talking his companions!
Can we put the broken tires with Gabby, so she can bite as much all day long!!!😁❤️❤️❤️
Kev, I am so glad you brought that up...I have always wondered if you went through some kind of "lion- cleanse" or " hyena- cleanse, before you went into their areas. Along the same topic- I also wondered, if they reacted differently- when they saw you, in each other cages. So, glad you were mentioning, this topic!!😉💞❤💞
It would be an honor to walk with Bobcat, and Gabby, they are both beautiful big cats. And you Kevin have such a special relationship with them, and you don't need me to tell you how lovely it is to be accepted by these 2 amazing furry friends. 🦁
Only got chance to see this Today, we were out yesterday, what a tonic seeing Bobcat with Kev head rubbing and bonding like only lions do, know one on earth understands lions like Kev truly truly amazing have a great weekend Kev,and all members too!
I was just about to mention Bobcats black. At first, it looked like he had a black marshmallow on his tail, lol. And she just seems to wait until you aren't expecting her! Gabby also looked a bit disgruntled that she didn't get to kill a tire, lol. My cats used to hiss at me if I smelled of another cat. My dog does pout, not that I cheated with another dog, that excites him, but if I go shopping without him, oh man, he'll come, smell me and pointedly turn his back and sit. Then he peeks to see if I noticed him! They are beautiful, Kevin, and every bit as 'sentient' as we are. I so love what you're doing. 👍😘🥰✌😷🎃
