Dr Chris and Kevin Richardson in one video? Love it, never thought this would happen. 😍😂
Aww yeah
Me too, how amazing and such a treat
IKR?? I heard "The Lion Whisperer" and I was like "no... that can't be the same one" but it IS OMG!
My thoughts exactly! 😍
Agreed. Would love to see another one of the two together!!
6'5" mate scared of needles, getting calmed with a frickin CHOCOLATE. this is amazing
well vets would go for cuddles to calm their patient but it would have gotten very akward if the nurse had attempted that with him. :D Sooo, treats it is. The sugar probably also helped to keep him from actually fainting - he did look very pale
@@Kirmeins very true. Accurate analysis. Great job, and good observation!
This episode of Bondi vet is beautiful and special 💝
Kirmeins I love how she gave him ferrero rocher(?), I want to go to get to get my vaccinations
Why not ,didnt see that part ,how do I find it please x
“Now I know how the dogs feel when they come in seeing me”
what does that mean
@@bestfriendskrew1201 he vaccinates dogs,cats and lions
Ahaha..
@@path4122 lions aha
Hahaha that is exactly what I wrote it is hilarious
Right after the surgery:
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, we already had another guy come in to try and he got bitten pretty badly! You did great though.”
Chris: ಠ_ಠ
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
XD The fricken emote is perfect
good thing he told him after lol
He's very honest about the way he feels ,welcome to South Africa.
Kevin’s relationship with the lions is THE MOST ADORABLE THING IVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE!
I want so bad 😩
It’s caaled bein SOUTH AFRICAN 😌
until one day they eat him !
@@whalegh6861 sad reality
no
A veterinarian who is around needles daily is scared to get a shot.
Being a vet dosent mean you was never a kid that was scared of injections 🤣
I'm a dentist and I'm also afraid of needles 😬
@@queenelsa5990 no no at present there is no problem with needles
i dont scared to get injections, but i would freak out if i would need to make injection to somebody else 😁
Hmmmm...
"Should we desex him?"
"You want to kILL IT?"
Im wheezing
And Chris almost freaking out saying NONONONONO nooo
Lol
Maybe she thought he said "disect"
That made me laugh
I think neutering animals is disgusting. animalsDeserve to keep their genitals as well.
I really like that he doesn't play too tough. He is honest about his intimidation. You should treat wild animals with that kind of respect. You should have a healthy amount of fear (not an ugly fear). Very good to see the level of fear and respect for the creatures.
Am I the only one over here wondering what Chris was so scared of, when he lives in Australia where the spiders are the size of lions? 😂
Also, Chris meeting Kevin is something I never knew I needed until now, and I'm SO happy it happened!
Yes you are haha. I'll take a huge spider over a charging rhino any day!
FluffyFloof, If you are talking about Chris's fear of needles, we are not in control of true fears. The fact that he turned grey and nearly fainted tells you its a psychological fear that he can't control.
Also, the spiders are not that big, they are just more poisonous.
@@sjhealed1
*more venomous
@@sjhealed1 as a five year old I was held face down on a bed by four nurses while the doctor gave me a lumber puncture needle. They go through your spine and into your spinal cord to draw spinal fluid for testing.also I had regular needle for my bee allergy. As a result I don't have that severe allergic reaction that I used to if stung..
These days I still get nervous having needles an almost always flinch.
@@matthewcullen1298 when you are 18 you can refuse needles aka injections too.
Chris not liking injections is my spirit animal
PREACH!
@@BondiVet Well, I mean, let's face it, no one likes needles! I've been a pincushion for most of my life and I still don't like needles!
Is it weird I like injections..mate I’m weird
Moonlight tails teach me the way of “needle brave”
@Unicorn Fantastik..I don’t know why I like them..it just feels nice..like a massage to me
When an animal show you its belly, it means they completely trust you. I absolutely love the bond between that man and the lions.
Dr Chris, I love the way you are with the Animals,
I keep waiting for it to be like my house are that when they show you their belly and you go to pet them they destroy your hand and arm. 😂😂😂
can't be sure if the same psychology that housecats have also applies to a 400lb lion, since they're not really making themselves vulnerable to you when exposing their belly, they're still the bigger predator
@@stonersiren Big cats like jaguars and tigers do this. When the expose their belly to you, there lost vulnerable part, their jugular is exposed. Meaning it's guard is down, and it trusts you
@@stonersiren showing your belly is one rule that's pretty much universal for all animals, i can't think of a single animal that shows its belly for any reason other than submission
Kevin is living the life I dream of.
He looked so majestic walking with those cats.
Yes Kevin's living the life I can only dream of and if I ever had a chance of being in Kevin's shoe's,I would,I'm so envious
i can not dream that also in my distant dreams :)
You’re not alone lol
I want to be that person. Even if I eventually ended up as food!
The look on Chris's face when he accidentally catches the cats tail in the wooden box....WAS ADORABLE!
The fact that Chris is afraid of needles even though he’s a muscle boy AND an animal doctor…🤣😅
It is hilarious I think they are evil but I am not as much of a scaredy cat as him
He looks pretty flimsy by my account, perhaps a hair over 6'4 and about 210.
I'm a 6 foot 3 carpenter who has scars all over but I hate needless. I've been shot in the face with a nail gun. My boss ripped it out with a pair of pliers. I was more scared of the blood test I had today
I wouldn't call him a muscle boy. It wasn't just the needles he worried about. The entire 20 was him saying how scared he was of everything.
@@susanaltorfer4156 He’s not a “scaredy cat”, please don’t be so condescending. A phobia/fear of needles is not uncommon.
Is no one going to talk about the cub showing Chris all of their teeth to show they're fierce 🥺😍
Such an adorably fierce lion cub! As were the other cubs.
Holding a lion cub has always been a dream of mine. Kissing one would just be
“ its lack of money not lack of love” .. damn straight:) love that quote. Education and empathy along with skill and non- judgmental assistance..
Spca is just the best :) so is Chris
“This man is very tall” love this episode lol
well yeah if the people can barely eat and they are dying left right and centre, paying for the animals vet fees is the least of their worries.
dang they care more about money than love
@@venturacogrown6140there's a pretty big difference between not wanting to spend the money, and not having the money to spend.
@@Derek_Keenan Ok I re read the comment right now lol
I think he should come and look after our babies here in SA
Poor napoleon, he’s just a sweet baby boy who loves his pops . It’s hilarious and cute seeing a lion act like a house cat after a trip to the vet
Napoleon was surprisingly well behaved for a wild lion who got stabbed with a weird stick by a stranger
I love how the "Poke with a Pole to make sure they are asleep" part is a legit part of the sedation procedure.
I mean, you could try with you hands if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend it. Is a good step to take.
When in doubt, poke it
eat lasagna lol
Watching Kevin and his lions just melts my heart, he has such a unique bond with them. Also chris with his needles crack me up XD I love how they gave him chocolate
And a ferrero rocher, at that. Those are really good and somewhat expensive.
Ferreros too! My favourite! Lucky bastard!!
It is hilarious his face when he is eating that chocolate is hilarious like did you see it lol it was soo sweet like whenever I went to get needles up until two years ago when I was ten I used to make the same face when I was eating a lolly afterward it was sooo cute ps only eleven and a half now and still think they are evil
I kept thinking of how chocolate helps you if you've seen a dementor, like the ones in the Harry Potter books.
This is amazing. The lions have to have memory, have to have feelings, and consciousness to understand Kevin is not danger, he is a loved one, and he is part of the pride. I mean you could never ask an animal what their thinking but their behavior can really lead you to understand how complex their mind truly is.
Seeing Kevin with those lions is fascinating yet terrifying at the same time! You know how unpredictable they are while being strong and massive, yet you go "Aww" when they are kissing him and his arm is in their mouth!
OMG. He's Australian, a vet, 6'5" tall, AND drop dead gorgeous. Come here honey, I'll hold your hand any time you need a shot :)
Kandra Bernis LoL that’s probably why the English exiled his ancestors to Australia - they could never compete with that.
Constitutional Carrot I can agree...
LMAOOOO YES
I keep sending my daughter his videos cuz he is a hunk of beautiful male. Thought she could enjoy the view. She wanted to be a vet once. We've rescued 21 years. I thought he was the best looking vet I'd ever seen.
I agree to sooooo much even though I am scared of needles too.
Chris looked absolutely exhilarated after the successful operation on the Lions, especially on Napoleon. It was so enjoyable to see those little Lion Cubs. They make the cutest sounds.
Chris dancing with the kids and Leon playing basketball was so great. When you interact with kids they remember that forever and also they will take everything they were told about caring for their animals will also stick with them and they will take it very serious bc of the pride they have of what to do and how to do.
This doctor really hit it with life. He educated himself a lot, by the gift of god he’s very good looking and kind and he’s extremely successful. It’s what I strive to do but held back by the good looking part 😂
This is so sweet
Shut up girl your good looking... Pretty... So yeah stop it... Lol 😉
Y are beautiful, so just reach for success.
**held back by the good-looking part** ha same 🥴
I'am with you Chris i don't like needles
I’ve had to get used to it. Shots and regular blood draws, just don’t look until it’s over haha
I passed out when I got my tetanus shot this year for seventh grade
You did jackattack
@@kelliesmith4035 ok i hate needles every seen I was 9 years old i kick men in his manhood
kingfrostmare i love every videos you post
This is such a great depiction of life in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is the Africa we don't see enough. There are families like ours living their lives with similar good times and bad. I spent a year in Kenya and it was very much like this.
A 6"5 man weighing 100kgs is scared on needles and is calmed with a chocolate.
Quality content here
My friend recently worked at Moholoholo as a guide, and she's told me that shenandi the cheetah is still there, much older but still alive and well!
Damn that's a good news. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for that news. How lucky gor you to have that experience
Dude, I feel you about the needles. You handle them better than I.
I think he did because he was on camera.🤭
I would have been bawling my eyes out. I'm the biggest wuss when it comes to needles. I have been stabbed, almost lost a finger, broken some bones got severe burns but didn't even shed a tear. But when it come to getting a vaccination you would see a grown up covered in scars crying like a child. Needles are the biggest NO NO to me.
@@flaw5774 I feel your pain. I get blood tests taken every six months, and the only way I can handle it is by blasting metal through my headphones and not looking. You're only human, and that's perfectly okay.
Yeah, and way better than me(I’m scared of needles)!
I don’t like blood tests they are evil because it takes like 100 goes sometimes because my veins are soo deep but I am not as much of a scaredy-cat as him
That lionesses eyes while sedated, had that look: I will remember you, ya jerk 🤣 Nicely done though 👏🏻
I am so amazed by Chris's courage, compassion, and capability! He is truly a remarkable vet with a great personality!
The fact that Chris got to meet Kevin Richardson & his famous lion pride is just awesome hats off to both of them doing their part for conservation 🥰😊
I don’t know what Chris was more nervous about, his vaccinations or operation on a lion. XP
Lol
I think operating a lion was like a walk for him :D I hate needles and sharp objects as well as blood drawing because I get nauseous when seeing my own blood, also I hate going to the dentist
@@Emily9378 i remember whwn i went to get a filling they had to numb my gum and i was proper panicking bc i saw a needle and i hate needles going in me, especially in my gums for some reason
And here I thought I had achieved something with my cat. He was feral and terrified. I spent hours, days and weeks with him in my garage as a kitten. He's now my sweet cuddle bug and will be 9 years old soon.
I’m so happy he found a great home. All cats big or small are precious 😻😻😻
One baby at a time. Your little lion is worth every effort you made.
And, he knows he is of noble birth. When he dreams he sees his ancestors. 😊
Mom is from Zimbabwe, been to joburg a few times, Cape Town, Harare, Kimberly. Been at least 6 times in my 30 year life and it was a shock each time. It is indescribable how amazing Africa is and how few people get to experience the magic of it
I appreciate your awe and wonder. I was born there and again spent another year when I was 6 yrs. old. For me wild Africa is real life. ❤
To anybody scared of needles, take the first bit of this video as proof that being afraid of them doesn’t make you weak.
Edit: Also, it’s gotta be pretty scary operating on a lion.. especially on their face. On a side note, I hope that the tumors stop spreading.
@@susanaltorfer4156 Same. It sucks cause I take medical classes and like, being able to draw blood is sorta essential? So I’m sitting there like “Ahhhhhh. I don’t wanna touch the needle.” I know it’s not gonna hurt me I just don’t like the thought.
Wait is that SKY:COTL?
@@noveeangelbasa3453 yes
I remember the day I broke my arm. I was afraid of needles until the medic called me out for having a lot of piercings but still be afraid of needles. My fear of needles were erased on that instant. Turns out embarassment can be a medicine😂
The part with the kids in Africa had me smiling non stop🥺
just casually not mentioning the other vets arm got chopped by a lion, priceless reaction to finding out
Ha
jackoghost huh
How could you not fall in love with every single person in this video? And every single animal is well?! This was more than thrilling!! Oh oh oh oh oh!!! How wonderful!!
Kevin is incredible this man walks lions like they are his dogs
The videos of Chris in different cultures show a man with respect and joy in those cultures. I really like watching him. I also see true humility which is knowing where you are not better than as well as acknowledging where you are as good or better.
24:41 these children and their fascination with Chris’ chin is absolutely hilarious!
Love that too how vets are so loving and caring for animals 🥰🥰🦆🦊🐶🐴🐯😭
@@nalathemaniacpup2298 Same here! I'm doing Vet Assistant classes in high school, so excited!!
This program seems genuine. Demonstrates fear, love, even humorous at times.
Dr.Chris is my Favorite most passionate Doctor I have ever seen. He is always working on his "Vacations" doing so much to help the Animal Kingdom.
This is the superhero crossover I didn't know I wanted but was sorely needed! Both these fine gentlemen are a spot above and deserve the best in this world!
Okay but Chris dancing is the cutest thing ever. He is such a dork and I’m here for it! The kids were soooo cute too!
Guy’s got no rhythm!
Hats off to these vets making a difference. He worked on Kevin's son. I could see why Kevin was so protective.
Two of my absolute favorite people in one video.
I've seen so many Bondi Vet videos and never wanted to comment but, this video really hit me deep in my heart. This is the best of the best and I'm so blessed you shared this with us. I have a new found respect for all who fight so fearcely to protect these beautiful animals and for Dr. Chris. Thank you from Georgia, USA
The best episode of Bondi Vet by far. Dr. Chris Brown + The Lion Whisperer 🦁 You can’t beat that.
Narrator: Chris is going to the Kingdom of the White Lion.
Me: Wait, that sounds like Kevin's reserve... but there's no way.
Chris: I'm about to go meet a guy who absolutely intrigues me!
Me: ...No, it can't be. That'd just be too lucky. There is simply no way.
Chris: His name's Kevin...
Me: *inhales*
Chris: He's known around these parts as 'The Lion Whisperer'
Me: *SCREAMS*
Sammmmne
If Kevin were a lion, then Chris would be a cheetah.
Alskasaur RIGHT?! I was hoping it was him too! We were right!
I squealed when the narrator said he was going to the Kingdom of the White Lion! I love Kev and his wild family!!
SAME
Chris I’m sure you know how incredibly lucky you are to have been to Africa and God bless you for the charitable services you do to help the animals!!
The relationship the keeper has with the lions is "priceless" to me that is AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT & I LOVE THE BIG CATS!!!
Wonderful trip. Particularly loved watching Kevin interact with his lions, especially the handsome and regal Napoleon. Such love. I guess it doesn't matter if it's a gerbil or a full grown male lion - your baby is your baby....
Two of my favourite men!!!! I love Kevin and watching him and his lions on youtube! Add dr Chris and I am very happy!
What is he's last name so I can subscribe to his TH-cam channel the one with the Lions and thank you have a wonderful night
Christy. Look up Kevin Richardson, fella is amazing :-)
What an awesome combination of love and. Males caring for animals
@@its_Today_ he has done a lot of good for the Lions, bless him💜💑💙💕👨❤️👨😩👨❤️👨🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great job Chris.❤ 2 of my favorite guys Chris & Kevin. So envious of Kevin. You 2 keep doing the amazing work you do.❤❤😊
I love when Chris Said now I know how dogs feel when I come and see them lol.
0:40
You can literally hear the terror, panic and confusion in the '4' he says and it had me rolling on the floor XD
Yah it was hilarious
As a South African this is just an amazing episode. Especially to raise awareness of the poaching.Thank you
I realize this is an old video, but I have comment. It is incredible. To see Chris in there helping these animals and the people who are working with these animals! Wow! Just WOW! Thanks!
Amazing !! I can't believe the relationship this man Kevin has with these lions . I would love to be like him .
"Nice lion,lick? No no not bite." How is he so calm
Napoleon is beautiful. And those tiny ones. I love how they try to be fierce.
It's so amazing to see a man who can intimately mix and mingle with a bunch of lions as if he is one of them. I take my hat off for him.
God bless these two men!!
Dr Chris talking to the lion "Its people in cages here". That cracked me up!
The love and caring all the people worldwide give to animals touches my heart! I'm 62 years old, but if I was YOUNGER, I'd want to look into helping care for animals! I've seen animals on this show that I have never seen before, some I've never heard of before! I'm loving it and so thankful on the animal's behalf!
I love how the birds are hanging out on the rhino back ❤️❤️😍🥰
It’s a walking buffet. The birds eat the ticks and such. Win-win.
A natural symbios
mutualism
Chris: you wanna desex him so he can stop running away?
Lady: YoU wAnT tO kIlL iT
Chris: nononononono
😂😂😂
So happy all went well, and the lions couldn't have been in better hands.
I must say Kevin probably did do alot of research and he came to the right conclusion, two legends in one place is something to see.
It’s always the big guys that faint with injections! So cute!
Yah it was adorable
31:16 Knowing that if a rescue animal gets hurt they'll come back warmed my heart
5:00 I am so impressed about this guy walking with lions, doing a good job for the world, what we all should do and leave these animals alone.
One of my favorite sounds in the world is listening to the lions talk and roar! So beautiful!❤️🍀
Wow I never new that he was afraid of needles
From many years of experience in Emergency Nursing, I find that adults patients are more afraid of needles , than pediatric patients. The anticipation is a lot worse than the actual injection.
Tamara Pavicic he is also allergic to some bunnys
Tamara Pavicic *knew
Fairies and Lillies Bunnies*
Who new it is normal though not many people like them I am not scared of them but I hate them
Creating a bond like this with big cats is one of my dreams and to help them and their numbers in the wild. They’re absolutely gorgeous ❤️ But I will probably end up doing something with reptiles in the future.
January 28, 2023. I only found Bondi Vets about a week ago and watched everyday. I have been subscribed to The Lion Whisperer for maybe 5 years. I'm thrilled to find this episode of Dr. Chris with Kevin Richardson. It looks like quite a while ago because Kevin looks so much younger.
“…i’m sure you’re having a great laugh now.”
all the more got me laughing so hard.
thank you doc cris for your kindness, compassion and dedication to all fauna.
the lion king in the flesh. this is amazing.
This is the best matchup ever. Chris and Kevin seem to get along well with each other, and have that rare mutual respect and trust in each other, and natural curiosity about each other's worlds. Many kudos.
I cannot, however, get over the age-old scientific method of "poke it with a stick."
Wow. This is incredible. That is one lucky man to have those majestic creatures love him the way they do. It would take a very special person to walk amongst those beautiful beasts and not get mauled to death.
Lions are such beautiful animals!! The few people who do great work with lions and have these intense bonds with the animals is beautifully amazing! It just shows how affectionate they are when it’s someone they love and trust.
They got Dr. Chris the good chocolates! Ferrero Rocher!!
Yeah
Omg I love them
Indeed, Michayla!!!
It’s not embarrassing to be afraid of needles..It’s common your not alone.
Thx
Agreed, but it's still funny to to see adults fearing the needle, not taking a jibe at anyone though :)
Poor Dr.Chris got chased by a big bad rhino 😂😂 But really the work he and his staff do is absolutely amazing
What's most beautiful about you is that you love your job with all its challenges. you are truly amazing, an angel for animals in need.
Lmao at 28:58 Chris face when he squeezed it's tail 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....poor guy.....I love guys
I love seeing how much love people have for animals. I wish everyone was like this... the world needs it
God have mercy!!!!!! It's good to see my homeland!!!!!!!!! And Kevin's amazing lions, missed them so much especially Napoleon, he's always been an incredible lion.
How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
Man this show makes my cheeks hurt from smiling. Best episode yet.
Lmao, I've never heard it called "desexing" we've always called it neutering/spaying.
I know, it sounds weird 😄 like a whole different operation...
Ive heard it said as:
-Spayed
-Fixed
-Neutered
-Desexed
In australia, i've most often heard it as 'desexing'
In sweden we call it "Kastrering" (english: castrating)
@@emiliaholmberg3320 in America, we call it castration when its pertaining to livestock
" you want to kill it?" Hahahaha omg that cracked me up so much haha 😂😂🤣🤣
HILARIOUS!
same 😹😹
This was the most exciting Vet video I have ever seen. Fantastic. I felt like I was there. Thank you.
I was in Africa for two years, was amazing, I love this continent.
lol when Chris kissed the lioness, she looked like she was smiling a bit
When was that?
“You want to kill it?”
Me: *My sides left orbit*
Rosey Wolf that was hilarious I’m over here like yes ma’am kill the balls 😂😂😂😂
Ikr, I laffed soooooooo hard on that part too...
I absolutely love this episode! It gives me chills seeing all the happiness of all the people in Africa with how much they love their pets-
Just listening to Chris talk about getting shots is enough for me to start to feel sick.
Oh wow when i seen the title i never imagined he was going to see Kevin's Lion's!! If kevin let you touch his babies you have to be the best those lions get only the best lol
