Just a heads up for everyone this is an old video. The reason why he moved and started his own sanctuary is because he found out that the park he was previously at was raising lions to be trophy hunted. He managed to rescue and move them successfully into his sanctuary where they reside today. Kevin has a youtube channel called “The lion whisperer” where you can see them.
Omg how terrible! I work in animal rescue and I see this ALLLLLL TOOO OFTEN! It’s CRAZY how corrupt and dishonest so many of them can be. Incredibly heartbreaking. Thank god for him. Do you know where there might some video on this ?
@@OanhSchlesingerI think most of his animals were born in captivity & the other’s were donated from circus & rescued from bad situations. Most of his animals won’t make it if released independently in the wild. Kevin has a huge sanctuary for his animals. They all look healthy & he seems to take great care of them 🙏🏾
I consider it an honor to be a part of this wonderful organization; both the Richardson Foundation and the Land for Lions project. You too can be a part of all of Kevin's work to save these magnificent animals.
Agree! To know, even as a Pensioner, I can Support KRF and the animals, is honestly an Honour! I grew up in Nz And now reside in Aust with Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards AND ALL cats really, are a Special part of my Heart 😊❤
@@cgage_01 The responsibility is unimaginable . Children grow and start their own life .. family etc. Now Kevin has committed to care for all in the Sanctuary till the day they pass and he passes... and as proven the care he has given and upbringing. Has given them a longer happier and healthier life... I've not long been Subscribed but so far this has made a great impact on all animals in his care.. and they still haven't lost their ability to be aloud to be who they are wild at heart... A great Family he has built ...
Kevin is a true human being who deserves to be recognized world-wide for the wonderful conservation he has done. Just like Steve Irwin. The best friend the critters ever had. We need more like him in this world.
Kevin! Kevin is awesome with the Lions and Hyenas and Cheetahs and Leopards! Love Kevin's work immensely...it's sad that a few of the lions in this video are no longer alive.
It's a beautiful thing to see how he interacts with such powerful animals and the trust they have in him. I would love to spend just a few minutes with such gorgeous cats.
2024 Kevin still going strong with all his lions/animals! I love watching all his videos on TH-cam. He’s truly the lion whisperer. We love and miss you Amy! Meg still going strong with Kev! ❤❤
You realize how much Kevin and the lions have slowed down and become a gentler bunch when you see these earlier vids. I forget how rambunctious they were. Poor Kev got tough love indeed. ❤️
For me he is a heroe his love and work for these animals are absolutely beyon a normal human. I've worked many years helping stray animals and I can tell you is not easy at all, imaging working in such a big project like this and carry out all these animal and its needs. Hats off for Kevin.
@@OanhSchlesinger I think you do. The comment was that Kevin is a hero to them personally. Why you felt the need to say that is saying a lot about you.
@@guyfanno1 animals in captivity to any degree is harmful. At first I thought he was exceptional & selfless caring for the animals. Until I read more about his so called sanctuary. And to a high degree he is doing exactly what he said made him different. Exploiting the animals for profit.
@@OanhSchlesingerthey won’t make it independently in the wild. When he takes them on exercise walks, they could escape but they all return back to him, so he’s obviously is doing something right🙏🏾
It’s not easy. He (Kevin) probably don’t have a life, outside of his sanctuary. I never heard of wife & kids?!? Not sure of his personal life, but he had to give his life to these lions. It takes a special person to do that❤️🦁🐆🙏🏾
wish this bloke nothing but the best need more people like him the world would be better place to live we should be trying to live with animals and there is less lions in the world its a shame fantastic animals we lose animals at our own peril the world will be a poorer place without them good luck kevin
What Kevin is doing is just an unreal. To play tug of war with a freaking hyena holding her teeth, or wrestling with a giant lion, or hang out with them like one of the clan. And they respect and trust him so much. Its crazy.
This is so Beautiful to see these lions which we all see as alpha predators actually show Kevin so much respect and love as their own. It's mind blowing to watch this. We all should be thankful people such as Kevin are around to guard these beautiful animals. Awesome documentary
It's wonderful what you do for these lovely animals, thank goodness we have people like you to safeguard them and give them a safe and secure environment. 🙂
HBO Lion - deserved to be free, NOT a "movie" star... So grateful for your reserved and u heart... Kevin. THank you. Hope to visit the reserved someday soon.
The work that you do Kevin is remarkable and extremely important for preserving the animals in your care and their future...love to see the upcoming move to the new place
Great to see the wonderful bond this guy has with these beautiful wild animals. Thrilled that he has finally got permission to move tthem to their new home. Cant waivto see the next instalment. ¡
This man has an incredible bond with the animals. It takes serious nerve to be in the midst of these beasts and believe there will never be a bad day when any of these animals can go berserk
Kevin I love your relationship with all these beautiful animals Thank you for sharing and letting us into your world GOD bless you always and keep you always safe ❤️❤️❤️
I love how worried he gets about just moving them all. And how he gets so happy and relieved that they don’t have to be tranqed. And he brings awareness to a lion being old or a hyena experiencing some dominance issues with the others. He really has taken as much care as he possibly can to take care of these beautiful animals. I love the education being given as a lion is casually biting his leg. He treats them with respect and he admires them.
I love the roaring! Thor is quite a character. I know that Tigers and Leopards enjoy water but never knew that Lions 🦁 do too. Thank you for another wonderful enrichment walk! 😊❤
I just enjoy watching Kevin Richardson interact with his lions and hyenas and black leopards. His commentary is very insightful. Makes me a better pet parent to my domestic kitties.
I Follow and film wild Lions, magnificent animals! Love them. Kevin is very brave and his job is not for the faint hearted. It is and will always be, very dangerous to work with wild animals.
Kevin. All I can say is Thank You. Much Love to you for taking care of these majestic animals and bringing light to the situation these lions have to endure. You are the best in what you do. May peace be will be these lions. Again thank you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
Kevin Richardson, you're very gifted. I've seen the worst outcomes, but with what I've seen in Go Wild, I've seen the best. I smiled when one of the lions passed by you from behind. You chuckled as you said: Don't turn your back on a lion. In that moment, I did sense love. You're not a stranger to her. You, at her worst moments, took very good care of not only her, but all of them. When they fight, you're there to patch them up. If they're sick, you make them better. You give them all food and drink. Yes, they're wild. We all know that. Evidently, they chose you. For how long? I don't know! I just hope they'll keep associating you with being the one who'll be there for them. They catch hell out there by themselves! I've seen enough documentaries to see what they go through. If they don't make that choice to trust one of us as I've just seen, then yes someone could become seriously injured or hurt! I saw that very thing before I watched this channel. A journalist went in the cage with a handler. The lion eventually attacked him. Not too bad but from what I saw, the lion communicated: 'That guy doesn't belong in here and if he doesn't get the message I'll eat him if not now, if he returns or anyone like him.' For whatever reason it was, the big cat became very agitated. Sure, they need preservation but it's up to us to know how! For all our sake. May you always be known for all the good, especially to these fragile creatures even though they're very strong, it's difficult to make it on ones own! They come from the harshest environments! I've seen how they live sometime. It can be pretty tough!
I have watched this video before. But, I'm not tired of it, or of any of your other videos. I LOVE them ALL. Even the ones about the 'stinky bums'...lol. your doing a wonderful job, thank you for all the LOVE and CARE you give all the 4 legged ones.
Incredible commitment. Love watching the big lions walking across the plains. I wonder if Kevin and Dean Schneider who looks after many animals too in Africa ( somewhere ).... know each other ?
The size is just remarkable🤯🤯 Television desensitizes you a bit….Until Dude stands up next to the Girls, and you see why the females can handle just fine, the hunts! The sheer size of them is craaazy!❤❤❤
Necesitamos un Kevin Richardson, para salvar al yaguareté y otros animales en seria extinción, por la furiosa desforestación y el avance de la agropecuaria tirando abajo bosques prohibidos!!!🐆🐾🇦🇷🌎
Meg is now 21 years old now and has been successfully paired with and bonded with Icarus a male who lost his pride members due to age. He was alone, same as Meg was alone after Amy passed. Being social animals it was good for them but it took a year of getting them used to each other through a fence before they actually started being let into the same enclosures. It is documented on his Lionwhisperersa channel on You tube.
I could NOT watch the hyenas introduction with each other!! I understand it i just felt bad for the little brothers. Bongo is something else!! Gotta love em!!!
I know this is an old video, but when he saved the wild lion, it was like as the lion lay there he knew he was trying to help him. I think he knew he was gonna be ok.

He has videos about all of his animals on there

All animals should be free, and so should mankind, bless this man for his love. 🙏
Incredible!! You don’t realize how big they are until you see them next to Kevin.
He better be or he will be their meal😂😂😂
I said the exact same thing!
Los leones cazan por hambre no por división. No como el ser humano que mata porque esta loco
Amy & Meg !!! Queen Amy ❤❤ Never forgotten. Shes in our hearts forever! "Just ask Meg". 😊❤❤ . Im here 2023 watching stil ❤ .
The way they both roared sensing the inevitable when Kevin mentioned "Amy will live out the rest of her days" was intense and very emotional, I cried.
Kevin is one of my favorite people. I've learned so much from his TH-cam channel.
I’m STUNNED that these giant lions and lionesses behave like kittens around him! They treat him like part of their pride! 😱🤯
Because he basically hand raised them all and is accepted as part of their pride literally.
He’s got the best job anyone could hope for. What a privilege to be able to interact with these animals every day.
HE EARNED THE TRUST AFTER DECADES OF INTERACTION.. BEST JOB?!?
A UNIQUE & RARE priveledge.
The above video goes back...
& all the adventures "AMAZING"
It is not a real job. If he really loves the animals he would not keep them in captivity.
@@OanhSchlesingerI think most of his animals were born in captivity & the other’s were donated from circus & rescued from bad situations.

Exactly. I've been watching him for years and actually enjoy the newer videos, as they've gotten older and are mostly very chill.

Congrats on getting the permit, Kevin! Hope you and your lion family will be very happy in their new home
Kevin, The lions adore you . They are very good looking and well taken care of.
Thank you for taking care of the animals!! I love lions stunning creatures.

Rest in jungle miss Amy. Her passing made me cry loads
Amy is dead??
@@okachadehiba6609yep. For about 3-4 years now
Awww, Luke as a baby! :D
So neat to see these familiar characters when they're so much younger.
Watching Kevin try to feed Nakita is hilarious, just like my cat trying to trip me up.
Kevin i so totally adore what you are doing for the big cats. They deserve safety from us humans to be able to survive! I love you so much!!♥️

Прекрасная работа Желаю успехов😊
They are so damn big….even the females. Seeing him
Next to the two females in the cage. Had no idea they’re that big
Meg and Amy are probably the biggest lionesses i've ever seen, easily. They're both around 400 pounds, as big as some males.
I know this is an old video, but when he saved the wild lion, it was like as the lion lay there he knew he was trying to help him. I think he knew he was gonna be ok.
Love all the animals 🤎
