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.

value for our generation and thank you for hard work. Wish you the best for now and your Lions future.
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
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
Oh my God, my heart literally melt when the lioness offered her cub to Kevin. Only a few things can bring tears to my eyes.

You and me both. I get tears in my eyes and I get goosebumps too. That is such a moving and powerful moment.

FYI, your heart does not literally melt.. Figuratively, maybe, but not literally. It's like people don't know the meaning of the word.
Kevin is an exceptional human being. His commitment to these animals is unreal.
Xello love Uzbekistan
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
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.
Gambit is so innocent.
I think he's Melman from Madagascar. :)
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
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!
Kevin has the highest level of humanity
Well said. 😊❤
I cry every time I see this!! Not from anything other than absolute love for what this man does and how he does it!!! Kevin you are amazing!!!
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.
It’s all because of the LOVE & RESPECT that Kevin has been offering to these animals... an awesome guy❤
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!
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 !
It never gets old to me watching Kevin and his Beautiful Lions !!!! I love it !!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I think I’m going to go back to watch every single show again because of Meg. Meg has always been the one that touched my heart the most and seeing her at the very beginning with her sweet wonderful sister Amy brings me so much joy. It’s time for reruns because this is the best!
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.
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.
P .Arunachalam
Love Kevin and his passion for his animals in his care.
So bittersweet to see the sisters in their prime with Kevin - RIP Amy! ❤️
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
Kevin is such a great person
Oh wow, Meg and Ami (RIP Ami) when they were little, how cool!!! Boy I now know why they have/ had so much love for KR. This is a great documentary ❤
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?
Incredible to see how Meg and Amy have grown 😭
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
I can not get enough of kevin and these lions....OMG....I cry watching the precious moments every single time....my goodness Kevin you are AMAZING
People who are live lives of greatness are willing to face the uncomfortable and be uncommon for the interest of growth. Kevin Richardson is one of those people who lives a life of greatness because he does what he enjoys. This man is making a different for these lions, he has my respect. Way to go, Richard.
People like Kevin Richardson remind us that life is all about risks, not taking a risk is still a risk; if you don't take any risks, you will never grow, if you don't grow, you will never prosper and if you don't prosper, you won't be happy, and if you're not happy what else is there? This man dedicates his life to make sure that these beautiful creatures do not go extinct, we also know that poachers do not value animal life the way wildlife conservationists do. Kevin is also reminding us that the common man has come into his own at last.Thus we are in danger of developing a cult of mediocrity.He who hesitates is lost.
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 Richardson is an Angel on earth. This is such and amazing, and beautiful story, it brings tears to my eyes.👍🏻🙏🏻
I remember watching this 9yrs ago. It bever gets old. 🥰
This man has a special brave Heart ❤️
Por muchos años que lleves con ellos, no dejan de tener instinto salvaje
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!
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.
The gift Kevin has is incredible ! The bond he has with those animals blows me away! It’s amazing!!!
It truly is
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.
Gambit is my spirit animal
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!!!
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
Salute to you Kevin Richardson!
I got tears in my eyes when Lioness offered you her baby.
Vaibhav Simha Ah you big sook, so did i about 4 times x
yeah truly emotional, what trust !
I love this I wish I could do that
Vaibhav Simha this is not a zoo lol
Wild since
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....
Doresc lui Kevin sa trăiască o viață frumoasa fără probleme!! Am rămas fără cuvinte iubesc animale !! Felicitări!! Respect !!
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.
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?
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
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 bless Kevin for treating those amazing animals with love and care ❤❤❤
Kevin has his own youtube channel, if anyone is interested. You can find him as The Lion Whisperer.
Btw, the profits from the views (on his channel) goes to lion conservation!
Yes.. And they are very interesting amd fun to watch
I never knew that hyena looks so adorable with a human! Trelli is super cute n lovable to the max!!!! I wished i could spend a moment with him... Lol! Kevin is truly inspiring... *salute n respect*
agree
I agree
The marriage between man, and animal is incredible. I was truly mesmerized. Great work!!!
one of the most beautiful stories ever....the love between kevin and lions...
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.
Napoleon, such personality! Amy and Meg, the love they have for Kevin is immeasurable! And of course Gambit, how could anyone not love him!
What could be more wonderful then being loved by a lion their way the strength and courage of lions from early time to be gentle and well fed when they know you are not out to harm them this is what Kevin teaches us. Kevin is a remarkable teacher.
The way the lions grab him and demand his attention is amazing. That big male lying on his lap OMG.
Isn't that something
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 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.
El increíble mundo de Kevin Richardson. Corazón de León. Me fascina, núnca me canso de verlo!!!❤️🇦🇷🌎
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
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!
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.
The offering of the cub brought me to tears
So amazing
Yesss me too
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
That giraffe is so chill lol

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.
Lololol Gambit is such a pure airhead! 😂😂😂
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.
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.

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...
Seeing Meg and Amy so young makes me even sadder that the old Lioness passed recently. Rip Amy
May god bless him🙏🙏
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.

Aaaww that's so cute the way she let you handle her lion cub, and such a special moment. ❤🙂
I applaud this HERO ... real unique person . Keep alive the greatness between people and animals.
At 12:38 .. respect & trust is its highest level. It really bring tears in my eyes to see the most dangerous predictor in such role. Hats off to you kavin. No words to respect your effort. Just love you for what you are doing. May God give you some of year's from my life to enlight there hope to share this earth with us some more time.
Tons of respect & love from India.

Agree.🥰
I was just saying this to myself before i read your comment💞
His book, Part of the Pride, was incredible! It was so cool to finally see Tau and Napoleone. Stunning big boys. Wishing Kev all the best.
He’s incredible with all his animals.
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.
LMAFO Gabit the giraffe is like whats up kitty cat?
The Lion Whisperer is amazing! So far he’s never been attacked by the lions!
He was in his early career by one lion.
I honor this man his talent is amazing God bless you, SIR. RESPECT TO YOU
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!
What a beautiful relationship with these magnificent creatures
Truly humbling to watch such beautiful bonds between Kevin with such Majestic beauty. Praise God for his presence in their lives. Praise Jesus for his amazing family and team.
Kevin is extremely gifted... I absolutely love these videos!
I don't get tired of kevin and lions hugging
I've always loved animals & particularly loved lions. I discovered this lovely channel a couple of years ago & try to watch it every chance I get. Bless you for your wonderful & compassionate work with lions. I've always wished I could hug them & bury my head in their beautiful manes. But the next best thing is watching you do it.😊
As a subscriber of Kevin’s channel, it’s a gem to find this video.
I wish kevin lives for 1000 years
I know, I love him so much! What will happen with these lions when he's gone? 😭😢😢😢
It's too much. You don't want him to go to heaven?
