LionWhispererTV aim is to raise awareness about The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary.
Kevin has the best job in the world, a true lover of animals, no political motivation or using animals to enrich himself. A true hero
Jojo x "best job in the world". It is and isn't. On one hand, seeing these animals as majestic as they are from a safe distance like the zoo or even better on wildlife documentaries is awesome. BUT, being up close and personal with them is a no no for me. I wouldn't be that close to these animals if you paid me a million dollars. Lol. Legit!!
Everyone who loves their job has the best job in the world
@@LittleBigKid707b Because you're scared and im telling you its normal but once you saw them growing and they trust and love you its one of the most beautiful thing in life
A slice of Heaven...
@@HHTP6 Yea they are beautiful creatures. But, they are not made to be pets. It doesn't matter that you've raised them, bottle fed them, and nurtured them. They will always be wild. they can turn on you in a second. It will take maybe hundreds of generations to possibly domesticate. Not just Lions, but other big cats , Hyenas and so on.
i'll never forget amy. i could hear the sincerity in kevs voice at the end there, when he spoke about his gradtitude for the support we've given him. so glad the land now belongs to him and the lions etc. what a year 2020 has been.
Amen
I really love watching George and Yame walking or running side-by-side. There’s just something so magnificent about two male lions in their prime enjoying life enjoying each other.
The work this man does is so incredibly important and we are so lucky to have this access and to get the opportunity to learn from him. I wish you the best in 2021, Kevin!
I know right. I use to never even care for lions, they were just killing machines in my mind. Now that Kevin opened up this whole new world with these lions. I absolutely love lions now. They are the coolest cats and show such love to him, of course. I totally want to help these beautiful animals now.
I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Edward Luca instablaster :)
@Dario Amir Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dario Amir it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
I just love that scene with the two lionesses looking at the plane, it would be a great t-shirt!
You are one of a kind ,my resolution is to support people like you way more cause you do everyone proud.
He is an amazing man can you imagine the time he puts in every day and spending time with Each and every animal keeping their bond strong he definitely sacrifices his life for them im almost moved to tears each video i watch.. if any one wants to donate to wildlife this should be the top sanctuary
Wishing Kevin and his team and all the animals in his care a very Happy New Year and let's hope 2021 is a better one.❤❤❤❤👍👍👍😸😸
Thank you Thomas, HNY from team LW!
Amen! 🙏🥳
Awesome. Lol, happy new year 🎆🎊🎈
@@LionWhispererTV You & Dean Schneider & John Varty would get along so well! 😁😁😁👍
Hallo Kevin I have seen all your beautiful videos ! And the Sad videos where you unfortunately have to say goodbye. But you never forget the beautiful time with them!
I’m here for all the Gabby screams 😂😂😂 love that mischievous cat
Right? She is so naughty 😂
Absolutely! Me too!!! She's the best~♡♡♡♡♡
@@FatShork 👍 yeah she is the best
It is truely amazing what a difference just 1 year can make! Started the year horrible with losing Amy, and You ended the year successfully with the new visitors center, redoing all the lion homes, and expanding your foundation! You are truly an awesome human being!! Much 💜 from Texas in 🇺🇸!!!
Their so beautiful when they run side by side together
Love it when Kev hollers at Gabby. Still need t-shirts and mugs that say Gabby- Noooooo!!! I would by one
Thank you for all you do! Seeing Amy is still bitter sweet but we all know she had an AMAZING life 💜
🙏
Did Gabby get a tire for Christmas? Best of everything for the wonderful new year. One of the best days of my life was finding this channel.
A tire for Christmas...so cute! 🤗
I bet Gabby would love a tire swing.
She deserves one that's for sure!
Which video is it where gabby bites the tires?
@@ashleyalonso619 I'm not sure. They were on a walk, part of it is in Kev's latest look back on 2020 video.
Fav part is 2:20-2:21 when you actually hear Gab's pop that 2nd tire 💨. Gabby is what keeps Bobcat young. 😹
Happy New Year 🎆
Happy New Year to you all! Seeing these wonderful animals has helped me get through the year.
"Trouble at the front, trouble at the back." Your grey hairs seem to indicate that you can handle it. It's a marvelous podcast.
Kevin always has an action packed year with his precious lions, leopards and hyenas. A very Happy New Year 🍾to you all at the sanctuary. Remembering sweet Amy💟🐾 and all the other eternal rested lions.🦁🐾✳🤍🌍
Happy New Year Diane! Amy will never be forgotten. 🙏
@@LionWhispererTV 🙏🤍🐾
Best wishes for Kevin and all his wonderful animals for this new year.
The world owes you much gratitude for your honorable work to save the lion species. The Dhali Lama says empathy is instilled in children. Thank you your using your gift to give show the way humans can enjoy unity on this planet with big cats. Perfect monatage!!!!
Just what I needed, a video from Kevin! No better way to start the new year off! Wishing you and all your Furry Babies a great 2021!
Totally agree!
Yeah I agree 100%..
Couldn't agree more. Nice 👍 to not think 🤔 about all the stressful things of the 🌎 world these days. So nice to watch Kev and all the majestic creatures he cares for.
Thank you Kevin, for giving these lions a forever home!
Hey! I wish Kevin, the staff and all the animals in the sanctuary a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🤗🤗🤗💙💙💙🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🙏🏻. God bless you guys!
Thanks Srikanth! Happy New Year from all of us!
@@LionWhispererTV 🤗💙
Thank you Kevin, such a great video, still hard to hear about the loss of Amy, but know she's still in our hearts. Have a blessed New Year.
I always laugh so hard when Gabby gets the tires and Kevin yells "Gabby!!!!" And you just hear all the tires deflating.
Teared up a little bit at the end when he said the animals were protected now forever and a day. I'm soooo happy these beautiful majestic creatures are safe. Love this channel and love Kevin and his sanctuary.
Gabby always makes me laugh! 😂 Happy New Year to Kev, the LW staff, and all the lovely animals! Looking forward to being a member for another year 😁❤️
Not only an incredible man who's perseverance has been rewarded by this huge announcement but his integrity, passion and compassion for wildlife is truly brilliant. Thank you and this foundation for all you have done!
Appreciated! 🙏😊
Happy new year! Here's to health and happiness to yourself and your lovely animals 🦁❤
Happy new year Kevin, the staff and all the animals.
Happy New Year to Kevin and everyone that cares for the beautiful animals at the sanctuary. Really looking forward to more amazing content in 2021! Happy to be a member and support in my small way.
Grateful for your support Adam! Happy New Year!
Truly love this channel! 💙
Wishing Kev and his team and his beautiful animals a happy, happy new year!
Bless you, Kevin and the entire Lion Whisperer Team. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, for bringing to light the plight of lions, captive and wild, for making a beautiful place for all your animals at the sanctuary, ensuring their quality of life for the rest of their lives. I hope that 2021 brings us all health and happiness. I hope that 2021 will be the year that we find a way of living together peacefully with all animals, that land is reclaimed and kept for the all the wild creatures of the world, that the sea creatures are given hope by giving them clean water and space to be, that we respect and care for the earth so that we all can thrive. Thank you for your efforts in making these hopes into realities!
Happy New Year to you and your family, to all of The Lion Whisperer Team!🎉💕
happy new year! here’s to an amazing 2021.
Almost throughout the whole video I had a big smile on my face, this is how glad I am that most things have been working out well for the KRF.
Thank you, I love you with all of my heart for these amazing memories. These Videos, for me personally, truly are lifechanging.
Please stay as amazing as you are
Thank YOU! These videos can only be produced with the support from all our loyal viewers! 🙏
Kevin, Thank you for giving us something so special that lifts our spirits and gives us hope for better days to come. Your dedicated stewardship and selfless love for these animals is truly amazing. Your joyous laugh is the best part of all the videos!
Oh what a wonderful look back. To see Amy always brings a tear to my eyes but I know she is pain free now and her spirit will always be at the sanctuary and with Kevin😘 I’m a proud sponsor for the land for lions... it gives me peace knowing these magnificent animals will always have this place and Kevin to care for them😊 I may never be able to visit them but I keep them in my heart❤️ thank you Kev and team for all you do... I truly believe 2021 will be a better year🎉
As soon as it opens for international tourism ill try my hardest to visit, would love to see all the characters
Happy new year everyone from me and my lion here on the couch watching TV
Thank you for all of your amazing work Kevin, especially during this last year, which has been so difficult for the whole world in so many ways.

I'm only 5 seconds in and I feel better,second time having corona is not fun, tnxs Kev and the whole crew, happy New Year everyone 😇
How did u get it 2 times? Did you actually test positive 2 times after recovery from 1st? While possible, it is super rare.
@@ShaneHolly Hi,I had it in November ,they tested me after ten days and I was negative,then I had some symptoms like headache and mild temperature on Monday,they tested me once again and I was positive,so after one and half month I get it again
You never had it you just want attention !
@@murkedlikejay.6730 I'm sorry that you think that,but unfortunately am having it right now for the second time,I don't seak any attention,I am wishing you a happy New Year
@@HemeraAeon be quite I'm sick of liars like you who claim they have lost lives just for likes and subscribers on youtube
Happy New Year to everyone and of course to the animals, lots of love for dear Amy. I cannot forget her🙂
Gabby moments always make me laugh, they all put a smile on my face!! Beautiful ending, what fantastic news!!!!
One of the few things I don't mind to review, in the rearview of this year without a tear.
Edit: That should be a framed photograph 06:44
HAPPY HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL LIVES OUT THERE! Keep your energy and your caring to the fore, and together we will all be better and thrive! Love from San Diego, California
Happy New Year Kevin, I hope the Animals and all of you have a wonderful 2021!🦁🐾

Thank you Kevin for giving us this wonderful opportunity to accompany you with your lion adventures!
Truly YOU HAVE MADE OUR LOCKDOWN bearable, the love you give to the animals is given back 10 fold by them, they have educated me and the wife, i love the leopards and the Hyena's, Gabs is a true star. Kevin thank you and all your team for bringing happiness into our lives.
Happy New Year 💞😊.
Happy new year fur babies , Kevin n team ... God bless you all...
Hi, Happy New Year to everyone. I am so very glad to hear that the land where the animals are currently situated has been secured fully for wildlife preservation. It is a great achievement, so congratulations to all. Now they have a permanent home, it seems year 2020 has not been an absolute travesty in every way, god bless 🥰.
Beautiful. You did it, Buddy. You pulled it all off. Touch and go so many times. Brought tears to my eyes. Congrats.
Can't ever really understand being envious, I am always just inspired- beautiful video!
🦁❤️🎉 Wonderful video Kev & team !!
Seeing these animals so happy has me in tears god has sent an angel to look over them and its you. God bless you and thank you.
The new building is truly beautiful. We hope that 2021 will mobilize more and more consciences towards respect for animals and nature of this poor and more and more defenseless world.Thanks for your work and your staff.
I've learned so much over the years from you Kevin. For this and all you do, thank you. May 2021 be filled with many blessings to you all!
It's been awesome watching your content this year and the journey your on with all the animals in your care is wonderful to Watch
Thanks so much James! Lots more great content to come! 🦁
Soo wonderful to see the furry babies from a few years ago. I love to see the lions sharing their joy for an enrichment walk with the others, lol. Seeing Kevin hang out with the adorable and amazing hyenas, and spending time with the sleek and beautiful black leopards. That was really brilliant, see the girls pay attention to the plane flying overhead. Gabby loves playing with her guys, Kevin and Bobcat! Poor Yame, I'm happy Kevin helped him calm down and enjoy spending time with George and Kevin. Seeing the lions and hyenas play and enjoy life, and Kevin snuggling with Bobcat. I've cried for Kevin's furry friends that crossed the rainbow bridge. I wish with all my heart, I could visit Kevin and his furry babies! Soo much happened in 2020, it was a very busy year, seeing it brought me smiles and tears. 🥰🦁🐾🐆💖❤
So glad to know the sanctuary is forever safe :') these precious beings have a permanent place now
What a wonderful video, you have been kept running!! May you all have a blessed New Year and to all the gorgeous animals in your care!! Always makes my day to watch your videos 💙🦁💙
Yea!!! It always makes and brightens my day to get a notification that Kevin & the beautiful fur babies have a new video. I’m a member so I get twice the awesomeness!! Love you guys! Happy New Year KRS!!
thank you, love wat u do. I envy your relationships with these animals you have. its got to be so rewarding.
Kev, thanks for helping get us through this year. We're looking forward to all of your future endeavors for years to come.
Amy we Love and miss you...
Seeing that protected land makes me happy to be a part of making a positive difference that will live on- Happy New Year Kevin and staff
What happened Amy ?
you doing great job.. keep it up and happy new year all..
Kevin you’re an amazing person & I thank you for what you do. Wish all your family ( animals) & staff a blessed 2021!🎉🌈
Thank you Phyllis! You too!
I just watched the vid of lion communication. I met my mutt cat at the local shelter and as soon as I walked in the door he started yelling at me. The rest of the cats just sat there, but he grabbed me as I got close to the cage and mumbled and rambled on at me. I came back a couple of days later to adopt him and he never shut up. In the first weeks I had him we had a conversation of 32 back and forth meows, burps and yodels that left me laughing my ass off. He still yodels and teases the heck out of Jezebel my dog, still crazy after all these years. Cheers Lion Whisperer. Animals bring so much love to us.
I miss Nicholas.. Wish he too could stay here..He was such a cutie pie..😍😍💞💞💞💞
Happy New Year to Kevin and all the staff and animals! Let's make 2021 the best year we can!
Happy New Year! Thanks for all of your support this year! 😊
@@LionWhispererTV thank you for all the amazing content and information! You guys educate and bring awareness to so many people its incredible! I hope 2021 will be an amazing year for you guys 😊
In 2020 I signed up as a member not realizing that the contribution I was making would open so many doors of knowledge and bring me so much pleasure. Thank you for this review of the events of the year. Kevin you and your staff, volunteers and the stars of your videos not only entertain but teach us townies so much. Keep up the great work that you do. Thank you, 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
Show me one other person that's this close and has this kind of relationship with dangerous wild predators. Just one. This dude is amazing.
Happy new year to u Kevin and the whole team!
Happy new year 2021, to you & the lions & panthers & hyenas and to everyone, Happy New Year & I hope this year will be much more eventful!! Thank you, Kevin Richardson, for the brilliant videos every Friday, it's always magically incredible 🌠🐾
Happy New Year 2021 Kevin and everyone !
あけおめ !
Thank you for all, moments shared with you...
💖⭐️ I wish you all the best !
Let’s shine the light on Earth with 2021 !
George has to be my favorite lion. I could watch him all day and it’s amazing the life he has because of Kevin. 💓
I love the gabby's character! ❤️ She is so cute and mischievous! I really want to come South Africa just to visit this sanctuary and the beautiful animals❤️🙏. Btw Happy New Year Kevin! May this year bring happiness to alll of the animals in the sanctuary!❤️
Kevin Be blessed for any up coming, and family, friends , staff most of all continued dreams for the animals and yr park. Happier New Year my Friend.
We will NEVER forget Amy or any of your lions, hyenas, and leopards that pass. When they get to live such happy, healthy, and long lives it almost makes me feel grateful that they got to experience great lives and beat many of the odds against them, though I’d obviously wish Amy could’ve lived longer. I cried when she passed. I think when you have a connection like that to an animal you just want them to live forever because they’re actual family and have taught you and loved you so much through the years. Even though it’s very sad that they’re gone it makes me happy that they were one of the very few who weren’t caged or abused and got to live the “wild life” as much as possible for as long as possible, with someone as amazing as you by their side helping, loving, trusting, and connecting with them along the way. How you treat each animal as an individual with their own characteristics/needs and have a connection with each one is just extraordinary. All the animals in your park hold a special place in my heart and hundreds of thousands of others around the world. Meg and Amy were truly something special and I know they brought great joy to your life (and your viewers) and I know Amy lived a happy life together with Meg, and of course YOU! I’m just glad that they had each other through all of their trials and tribulations, and had you to be their best friend/family. I am so pleased you still spend a little extra time with Meg so she is not alone a lot and so she knows someone is still in her pride and will be until her last days. You are truly a hero and an amazing educator/conservationist. You’ve made such a difference in this world and I’m so thankful that you committed your entire life and literally shed blood, sweat, and tears and dealt with a whole lot of hard work and bonding in order to create an amazing conservation park. Your views on African wild life inspired me to be a better person towards the environment. The intelligence and experience you have is something that’s 1 in 1 million. I hope you had a Happy New Year. It’s been a tough year for everyone and I hope you, your family, and your animal families are doing okay and looking towards a bright future. I’m hoping the next year brings nothing but great happiness, great health, and unforgettable/unique memories. Thanks again for being that rare and outstanding hero. I’ll be an avid viewer and donate as long as you’re caring for your animals/park and any other projects or causes you need donations for in the future. 🦁🧔🏻❤️👍🏼
May 2021 be your year, Kevin of international tourism. God bless you and thank you for all you do.
Best rewind ever and happy new year to Kevin his staff and even the animals
Beautiful! also fantastic news at the end, thank you for sharing, I'm so happy they are all set, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Kevin I wish you a happy year 2021 together with your big kids. Roberto from Italy
I discovered you and your beautiful tribe of animals during COVID lockdown. It lead me to immediately become a member. I can’t tell you how much joy you and your animals bring me. I so admire what you do. You are just a breath a fresh air in this crazy world. The end of your video choked me up a bit, so happy for you. Visiting is on my bucket list. Cheers to a new year. 🎉🥂❤️🦁
Great way to kickoff the new year! I look forward to another wonderful year with Kevin and all the Lions, Leopards, and Hyenas. Such a wild and feisty creatures and Kevin never ends up with a scratch! Truly Amazing Kev Look forward to more content and Happy New Year!
Wonderful video to start the New Year! Blessings to you Kevin, your family, staff and the amazing sanctuary!
I just KNEW that Gabby's infamous go at the tires & Kahn with the mirror would be included in this! I was not disappointed! ❤❤
Kevin and the lions in this video put a big smile on my face. But then i remember that there are less than 4,000 lions left in the wild and i'm totally sad
New Year dear lions and you Kevin!
I hope kevin, all the animals and staff have a happy and healthy 2021. stay safe and take care. keep up the great work Kevin 👍 👏
I'm late watching this but it was a joy to get a look-back on the year. Thank you for giving these magnificent animals a home for life, it warms my heart to think I may have contributed to that in even the tiniest way! The visitor's centre looks amazing; unfortunately things are still pretty grim in the UK right now, but hopefully at some point we'll be able to come visit. Happy New Year ❤️
What amazes me the most about these videos are Kevin's words of thanks at the end. Even with all our love and support (and we are a passionate group!), I always feel that what he gives to us is so much more. How else would we be able to have such an honest, heartfelt and very up-close insight into the lives of these amazing creatures? And before Kevin, who would have thought it was even possible? I am so, so, so grateful to him EVERY DAY for letting us into his world. So when he says thanks to us, I always want to say: “No, no, no - thank YOU! A million times over, THANK YOU!”
Vid ends with Vayetse's beautiful face! ❤ Happy New Year Kevin & Animals.
Can't wait for international borders to re-open. So looking forward to visit you and the big cats and hyenas. Happy New Year Kevin and team! 😁💖
You are a saint. Knowing that any one of those cats can end you with one swift bite,yet you give yourself freely to care for these exceptional animals. I can only dream to be half the man you are
Isaiah 11:6 "And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them." You have given me a glimpse into the future when God will restore life to a paradise and all of us live peacefully. Thank You!!!
