The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary's mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.
To raise awareness, Kevin has now set up his TH-cam Channel 'LionWhispererTV'. The channel is all about raising awareness about not only the declining numbers of lions, but also how this rapid decrease is happening. By watching these videos, you are directly contributing to our scheme of land acquisition.
Kevin captures the majority of his footage on GoPro cameras, allowing the viewer to get as close as possible to the lions.
By doing this, Kevin hopes to give people an insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and to let them see just what they can do to help. You can nearly touch them.
When the lions notice him and run to welcome him, that never gets old! :)
It freaks me out to see them running towards him.
Does any one know whether they killed the lioness that killed and maimed the two tourists??? My opinion for what it's worth is, your in encroaching on there space, (any wild animal). U want to observe and oww and ahh so be it. However, follow rules and use common sense that applies. Common sense is not so common, sadly. .
@@p.s.l.115 It says that the lioness who mauled the tourist was part of a pride of 3 lions. It's either Vayetse's, Siam's or Gandalf's pride and since they are still there I doubt it.

@@sandrarhymer7162 thank u
This channel is the best medicine when I'm feeling sad.
Me three
And when you have had a day when you really hate humans!
Me too
Winnifred Forbes so true!
ME TOO!!!!
I love how Meg yawns, giant fangs, right behind Kevin, and he's just Chill... 🚬
Please, the man literally puts his arm in their jaws🤣💁🏻♀️ and they "chomp" on him affectionately.😂
I love how you say “my darling “
“My girly”
A brave man stands up for himself.
A braver man stands up for others.
Kevin, you are the braver man!
NO, Kevin does both, he is the BRAVEST man
Mr and Mrs Bratby You are absolutely right! Kevin's the bravest of the brave. A TRUE LEGEND!!!
Not spoil the fun, but this statement needs to be amended for the modern realities:
"A braver man stands up for those who can't stand for themselves and who need it."
Otherwise this statement could very well influence SJWs.
@@Wrathinside Didn't expect an idiot to wander in here.
@@jordannietos Wow! Such a "Woke" thing to say! Fuck n Dildo
It always puts a smile on my face seeing how happy they are when you come by to visit. I can't even imagine the actual amount of time and effort (and bruises) it took to build such a relationship. Not only Meg and Amy, but the trust all the animals show in you speaks volumes about their treatment. It's beautiful, thank you for sharing this with us.
Yep, still kinder than my half ferral cat! Gee she could be a little more on lion side. :))))
With Kev saving Amy and Meg from drowning and then feeding them every 2 hours for as long as they needed it, How could they help but love him. I wonder if they imprinted on Kev.
I never knew that lions are so affectionate even with each other. Beautiful.
I think Kevin hit the nail on the head. His lions aren't actively doing something for conservation, but I think I speak for more people than just myself when I say that these videos have given me a new found love for lions, it has made me aware how lions are losing habitat at a staggering loss, that their numbers have dropped by 90% and that if we continue down this path, we might not have any more lions in the wild in a few decades. And all of this thanks to Kevin's videos. Spreading awareness is so incredibly important. The world needs to know, and they deserve to know that these beautiful creatures are possibly facing extinction. And if that bothers you, you can do something about it. I think Kevin can be immensely proud that he's become a teacher and allow his lions to be ambassadors to a global audience.
people probably didn’t like your comment cuz it’s too long xd but I liked
I like your comment BECAUSE it's long. So have another 119 others...so far.
why because AFRICANS are farming onto lion territory, Africans have medicines and doctors like never before so they dont die off like years gone past, , they still have large families and want more farm land--they do not care about wildlife, AFRICA sells licenses to trophy hunters, to them its all about money.
You know. What next? Knowing gets you nowhere
I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you lions, thank you Kevin and thank you, who wrote these comments. By the way, it was not too long!
Keep the questions coming! 🦁 Who thinks we can hit a million subs by the end of 2018? 😀
This is first reply to you in this vedio yes we will hit the one million
I am first
I certainly hope so! This channel should have 100 million subs!
Sure you can. I wish you that! 😃😘
Gonna help make it possible. Xx
You have to be especially careful
I can’t help but stare at the GORGEOUS Meg while listening to Kevin. She’s a magnificent, majestic lady. My FAVE lioness he has.
STARE Isn’t it funny how Meg stares into the distance as Kevin talks. I love watching BobCat’s eyes zone in in the far distance, total concentration isn’t it?💖🦁
It literally sounds like Kevin and Meg are in perfect sync with each other. It's like she understands what Kev is saying. She is legit my favorite lioness ever. She understood from the tone of Kev's voice as he was about to end the video, and got up. What a smart cat she is. And the way she constantly rubs her head against Kevin.... she is literally a dime.
I thought he ended the video because she got up. He’s said before that the lions get tired of him talking too much sometimes, so he’s cognitive of when they get restless.
That Meggy sure is smart. Meg: "Ok Kev we're done here"
this channel deserves more subscribers.
Totally agree with you
That's why i always share it's videos..hope u do as well
agreed =D
That’s why I hijack my friends’ and relatives’ phones or computers and subscribe them myself!!😁
I just love seeing Kevin with Meg and Amy. They are literally his daughters. I know he loves all his cats, but the special bond is clear. He looks so happy when he hangs out with them, and look at the smile on Meg in that thumbnail!
I love the way Meg flips her paw up when she’s lying/sitting down :)
I do too!!! ❤️❤️❤️
"The females can be EXTREMELY bitchy..."
Highly technical...and VERY funny!
Sounds familiar . . . 😄
You can push further and say "So true" 😂
Thanks for your comment 🙏😇
But it's also true for males
She's on the rag.😄😄😄
Lol very human
The Wa-Ow noise is the most precious sound lions can make. :)
This video is the best way to wake up on my birthday :)
Happy Birthday! 🦁 - LionWhispererTV team
Marie, my B-Day was on 10-4 🙂
Happy Birthday! May you have a ROARing good time! 🦁🎂🍰🐾
Happy birthday 🎈🎁🎂 Hope you have a brilliant day 😊
Happy birthday!!!! :)
Kevin is so smart. He really studies everything and thinks every scenario out from many different perspectives. That is a wise man!
I guess that's why he's still alive!
The bond he has with the lions is surreal. To see them up close, they are magnificent. and you've got to remember he is doing his own filming. He's alone with them. Unreal!
#AskMeg Are you getting enough funds for your expenses? If not, why don't you put more ads on your video?? I don't think anyone here would mind that!
Shut up and send donations
People need to understand not to skip past the advertisement before video starts. Watching the add brings funds to Kevin’s Sanctuary!!
M
I just said the same thing, then realized you already asked so I deleted it lol. I wouldn’t mind one bit sitting through some ads, and I don’t really think any of his subs would. I imagine that he’d be able to get some sponsors too, like Caterpillar or Bobcat 🤣
@Pandora sure but he can get more with ads just to help supplement. I have premium thankfully
Oh my gosh, Meg just adores Kevin!! The end, where she opened her mouth right next to his head 😻😻 😻 WOW
In his book, Kevin said Meg and Amy were imprinted on him
Meg and Amy after their love and greeting, it seems they want to sleep safe and serene in Kev’s presence.
Meg certainly has helped. My son chose your cause as our charitable contribution this year. 💗 We found your channel just last week, so her impact on him was sure and swift, just like those butt swats. 🤣 Keep up the magnificent work in spreading your message and sharing the joy of your park. Xx
Your son has great taste Vicky! 😜 Thanks for the message, hope you enjoy membership! 🙏
I love the moment when they recognise it's Daddy and the change to the looks on their faces.....
I love Meg and Amy but I'm over here still missing Bobcat
What happened to him?
Marko Milosevic they ran him over with the truck by accident may he Rest In Peace
Son of a bitch! Really? I shall play "King of Pride Rock" for you Bobcat, you mis-named kitty
@@ruig8612 That's not true.
I love Bobcat, too!💖
Kevin, you Sir are a remarkable human being✔
Seriously nice to see some regular viewers and regular commentator👍😇 yay for KEVIN fans
@@kittyshah8547 - Just got this account back after a wrongful suspension from TH-cam as well - Glad to be back on here - 👍
@@OfficialMNIB KEVIN's channel is turning people around the world into one global t.v lounge😇 get to see familiar with the regular viewers😆 hope Kevin hit more subs
Couldn't agree more!
Yeah he is and l agree with you.
Been watching his channel almost every day :D
Great content as always. I love lions and we all need to do everything we can to save all big cats!!
I've seen so many of your videos and I'm still in a state a total disbelief when I see you just sitting not only near, but basically on top of a lion. Amazing.
If ads come, I read the comments during the ad :)
That's my method to ! 😊
Kathryn that's what I do too! 😂😂😂
Dear Mr. Kevin, As an animal lover, conservationist, and general lover of Earth (our gifted and beautiful home), I thank you and your crew so very,very much for the hard work, dedication, and protection of all of the gorgeous and innocent creatures. Thank you, and the wonderful animals, for sharing such vastly and extremely important information through your work and your videos. I have worked with, loved, and shared a special, heartfelt bond with every creature that I have come into contact since a child. I've worked with the Humane Society of Missouri, USA as a shelter assistant, adoption counselor, and surgery assistant and have learned so much from the animals. It is the kind of work that makes you want to come back the next day, over and over. I have also worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden and was completely engaged and fascinated. I would give an arm or a leg to have the opportunity to graciously work the way that you and your crew beautifully does. I have two cats and a ferret ( since babies) and they are the light and loves of my life. I wanted to share that I absolutely cannot get enough of your cute, sweet high-pitched voice when communicating with the lions and especially when you were with the hyena saying, "Are you having a good time?" This tickles me every time!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you and your special crew do everyday!!! Much, much love, kindness, and gratitude. H P.S. My female cat will bring to me her toy mice while I am asleep and I wake up with being given the best "gifts" of all time. Cheers!
😇👍
kitty Shah ❤️🌍🐾💐💪😀😇👍👍👍
So cute and special. A spiritual relationship
Awww love your comment! Brilliantly put and couldn't have said it better myself!
I too adore the way he communicates with the animals, its just adorable! It reminds me of the way i talk to my kitties, i have full blown conversations with mine and talk to them in the same high pitched baby talk way kevin does with the cats haha! And I talk to them exactly the same when i take them for a walk too, i swear my neighbours think I'm nuts!
Kevin is just such a rolemodel. Would love for more children to watch his videos and possibly even meet him. He’s a great example of so many good qualities human beings have the potential of being.
Meg and Amy, the dynamic duo! May Amy rest in peace! Thank you for all the great information, and interesting topics of discussion. So much to think about.
OMG..When Meg yawned, it made me yawn..lol 😂😂😂😂
Maybe you been the lion in privies live 😉
lol IKR the last one shows the size of her mouth it is as big as Kevin's head
It’s contagious you dumb fuck
realmadridstyle Real linguist here folks..😂😂😂😂🤪
@@morfeusz6693 no its just a reflex that humans have with other humans and aparantly lions
It's mind-boggling trying to wrap my head around Kevin Richardson foundation not having over a million subscribers already????!!!!! Great videos Grant Foundation great lions and a great person !!!!!
Government or "nonprofit" foundations ALWAYS get corrupt.
Probably because we’re just finding it!
I love the way Kevin respects them more than the way he loves them. Lion, after all, is a royal animal and deserves that. These lions don't look the sorry types found in captivity. Nor do they appear agitated. Physically and mentally they look very healthy. If the goal of conservation is to inspire awe and affection towards these majestic beings and help protect them from mindless killings, then by all accounts you are spot on, Kevin!
One of my favorite episodes. Afternoon delight. Spot on re education changing people's minds. Rock on Kevin.
Megan looks so content sitting with her daddy Kevin 🐾❣✨
I love hearing you call the “kitties” 😊
Babysitting the grandbabies (10, 4, 10months) I pulled up a couple of your videos on the TV. The questions from the 10 yr old were very interest. Clearly he was paying attention and asked smart questions. Thank God I pay attention to you so I could answer some. 4 was mostly wanting to pet the big kitties too, but also fascinated. The 10 month old just tracked the motion but it's a start. Who knows when a video will change the world.
“The females can be extremely bitchy... “ 😂 Sounds familiar. Thank you for the informative and funny content! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Love me some Meg & Amy.. 😻😻 Kevin ‘s not so bad either..lol😜🙌
[r00t] I wouldn’t dare..😜
@Mike Fernandez haha oh I'm sire she wears that outfit and do the woo-ow all day in the bedroom
I have fallen in Love with Meg. She is such a beauty. These videos are amazing advocacy and the work you do is amazing. That fact you dont breed them proves you are in it for all the right reasons. Its about rescuing cubs and conservation.
I have two questions for #askmeg what size are the pens? Also can tourists visit the santuary? Thanks
Meg’s demeanor the whole time is so trusting and loving. She leans toward him, and she’s is so calm and still. You can watch her eyes start to close and her ears and paws are so relaxed and Amy as well she trusts her back toward him. These animals have always fascinated me they are my favorite animal! I love your videos!
I love the way Kevin talk to them, like a father to their baby children's 😍
Meg is just listening while you are talking such a lovely girls Meg and Amy love love love. At first it was my little boy who watching about lions and he is curious about them now its me and my bunch watching all your vids thanks Kevin for being the voice for them God Bless the work of your hand .
actually, I got the impression that the lioness turned to him when he said "hello", and not when he was saying wha-ow. Hehe. I think he has too much of a human accent for them to understand :D
Hahaa! "too much of a human accent" Great comment!!
These videos are truly addictive. It's like a blanket of ignorance has been lifted and Kevin's explanation blows away the cobwebs of intransigence. THANK YOU for educating me.
KR is so fortunate and blessed to have a great job and his passion for these stunning creatures is truly our blessing.
I love how they run to you when they see you ❣️
Meg, Amy, and you Kevin, have certainly contributed to lion conservation by inspiring me. I am a weekly volunteer at Lions, Tigers, and Bears in Alpine, California. Although the animals I am closest to happen to be 2 cougars, and 2 tigers, I have just begun forming a bond with a beautiful lioness, who retired from circus performances, with her pride mates. "Arusha" has for 3 occasions now, laid down next to the fencing of her huge habitat, and rolled on her back right next to where I've sat on the other side, and just seemed to like me talking to her. 2 other lions she's always with, tend to walk away, uninterested. But Arusha has stayed with me for an hour. This is very exciting. We are a no-contact facility, and I have not known any of the cats since they were cubs, except for the 2 tigers. All the cats in the sactuary are rescues. But Nola and Moka, (2 of 6 tigers) came to us as cubs. So they pretty much like everybody. My having a relationship with any of our lionesses was a complete surprise. My work takes me 6 hours in the morning, plus I spend extra time specifically with the 4 cats I mentioned. Arusha makes 5. They all are amazing. Thanks to you, Meg & Amy, I am helping these other big cats have a good home.
I always enjoy rewatching these older videos and seeing beautiful Amy. We miss you precious girlie. We’ll see you in Heaven one day. 💕🦁
Thank you for your video series. I think what's valuable about the lessons we can learn from these films is that despite lions fearsome reputations, if you take the time to sit with them and bond with them then they can be tame and affectionate and relatively straight forwards to deal with if you have put the time and effort into developing a relationship with them, like a cat or dog, just on a much larger scale. I think she was telling you at the end when she yawned, she could have put your whole head in her mouth, but she didn't because you were her friend, she trusted you and you trusted her. These big cats are so beautiful and majestic. Getting to sit quietly with them to know them and learn from them in a respectful way is just as important in the conservation world if not more than just forcing them as captive animals to breed for show which sometimes can be traumatising and unnatural and stresssful for these beautiful creatures of the wild. ✌
Am I the only one that cuddles their kitty during these?? 😺😺😺😺
🙌me too
My cats sit on my knee to watch these with me, lol.. and also when meerkat manor's on the telly,
Great job talking about meg and Amy's value towards conservation. Well said.
I'm still at awe on how comfortable Meg and Amy with Kevin talking for so long while they are sitting on the grass.
I agree with your view entirely Kev, education is the most powerful tool that we can use to change the world!
You’re right, Kevin. I think there are some conservation benefits with captive lions when it comes to educational outreach. I would have never thought about Land For Lions or your Foundation if these videos didn’t exist.
I thought I was the only loony making those noisees to my Ferrals, but it works.
But other people, have to know that.
But little cats, as you know, don't present such problems, this chap is an amazing dude, thanks mate,
I live in Asia. I hope I can visit there once in the future. 💕 After I found his channel, I don't want to go to the zoo anymore.
You are bringing us an awareness to something we would never see! The relationship and trust that you have gained is certainly something special. To see you there kissing them and there is no viciousness to yourself. That Black female Leopard, well she has a beautiful outline to the shape of her face. So approachable and loving also. Thanks Kev for this inside view.
KEVIN... Greetings from San Diego! Keep up the GREAT work! You ARE making a difference!
Beautiful animals 😁😘
You are one amazing man! Your lions, hyenas and leopards are very lucky to have you!! God bless you and your prides! ❤️❤️❤️🐯🐯
I Love kevin has soooo much loves n compassion for his beauuutiful lions 😍😙😚💓💓💓💓💖👍👍 God bless u kevin n allll yr lovely huge cats 🐹🐹🐹🐯
16 years, I haven't even had a dog live past 8. One had a heart just issue before Christmas, then one with GME and then next was cancer.
So i can't even begin to comprehend the heart ache you will endure when one passes after such a long time.
Anyway, i love the videos Kevin. Keep up your work spreading the knowledge of the plight of lions. It's sad to hear in my life time they maybe gone. But with your work i pray not. :)
Phil Mitchell Amen.
Ah...... 19mins of blissss...... Heaven on TH-cam.... Bless you Lion whisperer channel............

I love how I feel watching Kevin and the animals. ❤
It warms my heart so damn much to see those beauteous animals showing you so much love. It's just crazy to see that strong bound.
Thank you Kevin and your staff for everything you do
Could you film close ups of their paws? If they let you. They look so cute and scary at the same time.
Away with you foot fetish weirdo
I started watching thinking of this is good and 5 hours later I keep asking for more. I do wonder at the other sounds you make at the lions, you only covered one. That one i already knew. Thank so much for all you do with these beloved creatures! I have a pride of 6 domestics... not quite the same but just as amazing. Smiles and blessings...
Well said about conservation. Keep up the amazing work. It's just so fascinating to watch you and those gorgeous cats.
What a wonderful video! Thank you, Kevin! I wish you a million plus subscribers and all the success in this world! Love you, Kevin, Meg and Amy!
💜theses two beauties🦁💕
Wow,absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for educating us,about this beautifull ,majestic creatures!!! People like you are irreplaceable! So much love care and dedication-I can see it in every single video I watch!
I cannot put it in words,how greatfull I'am for the job you do.
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you sooo much for what you are doing for the lions and for our world for the generations to come love what you do ❤️🐈
Yaaaaas - the best part of the day is when I get a notification for this channel :D
Probably a lot of us did recognize the call Kev makes, even if it's not used on the dogs and cats in our lives. Interesting to hear him explain it, though.
I love the relationship that you have with all the animals in your sanctuary. It's so heartwarming to see. With so many of them, how do you tell them all apart from eachother?
You are my smart man and I love you so much. Thank you very much for bring me to your beautiful world. Meh and Amy are so amazing.
The birds that can be heard at 6:45 can be found in Kenya, too, on the shores of Lake Victoria. I recognize their voice very well!
Congrats on 16 Million views for the video "An Unbreakable Bond" :))))
I love these videos, so relaxing and inspirational- what a beautiful world you & Meg live in - I hope to visit someday and help contribute to conservation for these magnificent animals.
Really great video and well explained answers on the questions. Looking at Meg and Amy it's just amazing the sheer size of these animals. Especially Amy as she was sitting so close to you... her head is enormous! And those yawns.... pretty incredible! They are both so, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and may God continue to bless you and your efforts in working to help and provide for these incredible animals.
Hey man there is huge problem in India's gir forest nearly 23 asiatic lions have died in just 13 days due to canine virus please give your suggestion .
Thankyou for mentioning this .
Hope they will get immideate help
hope they get vaccines for them.. prayers 🙏💗
You can start by stop shitting and throwing dead bodies in the rivers.
Jhoxi Hum for real lmfao 😂😂
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely Lions with us. Stay safe, keep up the great work.
I’m telling you I have watched this channel grow. I have to hope that I had something to do with it by sharing it and sharing it. I am so in love with your work and these beautiful animals! I only wish I could be apart of this journey physically!!!!!!! You are truly amazing!!!!
I just love that sound Kevin makes to greet the lions. "WA-OW!"
Great, no dislikes. Lets keep it that way.
Always look forward to a new video!
Meg is just so scholarly and wise. Thanx Meg for ur wonderful knowledge and that u r so gracious to share it with all of us!! #AskMeg💙💚💛💜
1:27-1:30
Amy: smells Megs butt
Meg: Tries to attack Amy
Amy: smacks butt 😂😂😂
Love these two!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Amy had passed away didn't she?
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou she did🙏🏾
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou Not in this video, obviously. She passed away a year or so after this video was made.
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou Yes, her diagnosis was sudden and was crushingly, devastating for Kevin. For all. ❤️🙏 I think we all were affected because of our love and respect for Keven and our love and respect for Kevin's animal family.
So glad I found your channel. Keeping my fingers crossed that you will hit a million subscribers very soon 🦁❤❤
Another great educational video! Ur videos did educate me on canned hunting of lions, lions habitats etc.. thank u! Love fridays! Havent seen george and yame, hope they are doing well!!

I get goose bumps when Meg nuzzles Kevin. Wonder how Kevin feels?
Thank you Kevin that it was very informative and enjoyable. You always make my day when you put out a video. I love love love your cats. God bless you for what you do.
I look forward to fridays for a new video!
