This is how I choose to remember Ischa. Not lying on that operating room table but here with Kevin and her cubs, happy and carefree. RIP Ischa, you are loved. ❤😘
Beautiful white lioness, Ischa, died in November at age fourteen from metastatic cancer. (2004-2018). We will never forget you, beautiful girl. Thank you Kevin for giving Ishca a wonderful life. ❤️🦁💕🦁❤️
Watching this after seeing the video of a broken hearted Kevin who had to make the decision to put Ishca down. On the bright side...she had a wonderful life. Kevin treats his cats with nothing but love.....and you could see it as he said goodbye 😢💔
That was a very hard video to watch it, brought back memories of having to make the same decision a couple years ago. He made the right decision, but it is definitely one of the hardest decisions to make for a family member.
PapaBearChris I as well with my golden retriever😢. Kevin held Ishcies paw ....I stroked my Nuggets head. Our fur babies hold special places in our hearts❤️
That's the bond you get from being respectful and treating these magnificent creatures as equal, as brothers and sisters... Kevin sitting in the middle of a pride with cubs running around... You won't see that bond, trust and interaction with a zoo keeper or a circus lion tamer with sticks and whips!...
Certainly not something one sees everyday: a human being sitting in a pride of lions, all at peace, relaxing, playing, enjoying the day together, and then everyone taking a nice nap together in the shade...absolutely amazing! Only Kevin Richardson, The Lion Whisperer, could accomplish such with a gentle, loving heart towards all of the animals in his care!
It's really amazing, by nature and instinct these are wild animals who have to kill in order to survive, in order to become one of them you must do what Kevin does and that's become part of the pride and still that's very risky because they can be playful and by that I mean they can become playful with Kevin and yet become dangerous because they're big animals and what's playful to them can be harmful to a human, but I have to say that Kevin has a very special bond with them and he knows when to keep a safe distance and give them their space, he's an expert at what he does.
@@M-Rv some qualities that i adore in Kevin are his intelligence, the fact that he's educated and that he's analytical. These qualities are the reason why he's taken pains to lay out clearly why he's survived this long in very close proximity to the lions and when he's been attacked by them the clear reason and series of events in the short time span leading up to the attack. It's very clear that these are thinking and calculating animals. They have their own language and social behaviour and kevin learned both. When you add deep respect and care, this is the result.
Fully agree! But he worked hard to achieve his dream! The source of his strong energy is LOVE. Watching him taking a nap with the lion family as a member of the pride, males, females and cubs is like facing Paradise. He deserves it by far !
Beautiful Ishca. I did watch the video of her passing and cried buckets. I am glad I watched it, difficult as it was, and seeing Kevin making the decision to let her go, and grieving her passing. What an valuable example of a human honoring the relationship and the love that they had, and sharing such a vulnerable experience. By my lights, that takes lots of courage.
I love what he do with the lions there s no other guy out there like him he handle them well and let them be lions not lock in some cage or circus Great job I really appreciate him sharing this...
:"( Ishca always will be the most sweet beauty wonderful queen, we still missing you, now is Impossible not cry when I 'm back see videos like this ..r.i.p
Siam is such beautiful, well-tempered male lion. I’m so happy to discover that Ischa and Siam produced three such spunky, adorable cubs, who will be quite beautiful with such stunning parents, I should think.
Me. Am totally and completely heartbroken! RIP beautiful Ishca Angel 😇♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Just the video of her surgery and had no idea it would end as it did. Am so thankful she is not suffering any longer. You will be so missed! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just wonderful. Such a happy, healthy pride. I cant put into words how deeply this video moved me emotionally. Pure perfection. ❤️❤️❤️🦁🦁🦁 ❤️❤️❤️ Kevin Richardson
One last thought - being very sad about losing Ishca as I just saw the video and commented , there is someone on this thread commenting rude and disrespectful answers to people just asking questions. If you are new to Kevin Richardson and his lions you don’t know EVERYTHING as this person appears to. Just be kind and answer people’s questions as they are not as smart as you profess to be. We all love Kevin Richardson and his work and his animals! We, too want to learn and contribute to his foundation. So we all have the same goal in our hearts!!🦁🦁🦁🦁
I wish Kevin could do a video on who the cubs are today. Where each lion came from, whose related, whose the mom, who is Pelo's cubs and Madateu and Tabbys cubs today.
I can't tell you that but sadly, I have to tell you that Ishca passed away one or two weeks ago due to cancer. They wrote about it on their TH-cam-Account and on their Facebook-page, you can google it. Maybe you can find the names of the cubs in Kevins book he once published?
@Abhishek Kunchikor no, this was shot after he took "his" Lions out of this industrie. But at the beginning he was still breading. His idea at the time was to restore a good gene-pool for white Lions are those were inbreed. This was probably the last litter has shortly after he realized that breeding Lions in captivity was not a good idea and he stopped doing it.
Mandie, what an absolutely beautiful video. This just popped up out of the blue on my recommended list. I was not aware of this channel. I'm new to you guys, and did not realize Ishca had cubbies. My favorite animal in the entire world of marvelous animals are 6- to 12-week old lion cubbies -- it doesn't matter what color they are, they never fail to melt my heart while filling it with such joy -- that baby grabbing hold of Ishca's tail -- do you know any adult male lion that would have that much hootzpah? And when they're around seven weeks, the way they walk, they can't of trot (trying to keep up) so they rock back and forth -- why, oh why oh why do people mistreat them, using them for money until they're too big and then dumping either into the hell of a roadside zoo or canned hunting -- even if you guys only saved one lion, totally worth it -- God continue to bless and prosper your efforts in all you do -- big hugs, Patricia
Reminds me of my two cats who where my son's they where loyal to me and I was like there father they where my best friends growing up for 21 years now I'm 27 and miss them both one day we will join each other again and run through the forest like we use 2 rip my sons
I love the background music, always reminds me of the wild! Beautiful cats, extraordinary relationship but stunning to watch. I'm not within enough to go on safari and try and cuddle lions though!! Haha Cannot believe someone actually did that. Its not like the jungle book people!!! 😂
Me encantaria ver algo así rescatando a las chitas, leopardos y tigres. Dios de a la tierra mas hombres que entiendan del amor y la convivencia asi como este. Cambiar los paradigmas del hombre que caza a un leon por este ejemplo, haria la fortaleza del hombre mas en su corazon que en sus armas.

Who's here after finding out she passed away?
Me
Me too. 🙁

Harriet Brody Ishca
RIP Ishca. Thank you for giving her a wonderful love filled life.
Ikr, I just checked and noticed that this video was made in 2009, RIP beautiful Ischa
@@rachelgarber1423 I wonder which lions are hers now 10 years old.??
Ishca passed away today.. Rest in peace my girl..
I love you Ish.. i do..

🙏 RIP gorgeous Ischa. You are surely a white angel above...now also reunited with your catnip king Siam 🤴 💖 ❤️ 💕 ♥️
I love how one of the cubs keeps tugging on Ishca's tail. I always loved her tail, a truly beautiful cat.

They only way this can be done, is being in these lions life every day since they were tiny cubs.
I may be a new member of the family, but I LOVE seeing these older videos. Thanks Kev!
Love how he just joins in and goes to sleep with them, this is a unique bond indeed

KEVIN IS THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD!

Ischa Is a gorjas lioness. Beautiful color and bone structure! AWESOME!
Ishca you were a beautiful lioness, queen of the pride...

this is the only man i will respect owning/playing with lions
I'm watching this again. So good to see old Ishca video. Made me cry again still. Hope she's happy in animal heaven.

Kevin you’re the man! Bless you and the work that you’re doing for our Planet.
Amazing, they are all so chilled out there in the heat of the day, lovely vid
Ah seeing those little cubs fantastic little bundles of fur and fun amazing
SHE TRUST YOU WITH HER CUBS!!! WHAT A PRIVILEGE!!!! YOUR LOVE FOR THEM IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
These videos are so enjoyable.
I wish that there's more people like you that gives all wildlife so much love and care. Your truly a remarkable man
Wow she is so beautiful and such a good mom. I'm sure she is going to be missed
This was awesome but sad too...
I miss Ischa soo much !
Who are Ishca's cubs? Do they still live with Kevin at his place? I love Ishca...she's a wonderful lioness!
Katherine Uribe I'd like to know that too. I hope you get an answer soon.
I can't tell you that but sadly, I have to tell you that Ishca passed away one or two weeks ago due to cancer.

Julia Fan I know :( so sad for Kevin. I already know she’s resting in peace, free as a bird. They will meet again.
There were also cubs born in Tau's pride never knew what happened to them

You are a very good man and it becomes rare on our days. Thanks for them, they are beautiful, what a chance you have !!!🥰
They are adorable!!!!
Kevin is a good kind man.
RIP Ishca. She made beautiful cubs.

Emma Rauf,I agree with you. I feel so heartbroken ,she was a luvly girl,so pretty and gentle,feel like ive lost one of my cats.
Sarah Cox. I know right.. its totally sad to see a beautiful creature died in that way
KEVIN RICHARDSON, YOU ARE SO LUCKY FOR LIVING SUCH AN EXPERIENCE!!!!
What is really unreal is Kevin sitting there surrounded by all of these lions and he isn’t even fazed by it. Amazing.
he grew up with all them. he considers them friends and they consider him a pridesmate. something you rarely ever get to see
jill kelly yes I know that. It still amazes me😄❤️.
Beautiful family❤
Ischa i loved you ..you are loving mom and wonderful.
Such a beautiful video.. 💖🦁💖
Merveilleuse,Ishica Repose enPaix. Tu à eu une belle vie Avec ton Maitre qui était Por Toi comme un Papa .Amen.
Best one yet.
I love the song (Legends of the Fall). Thank you for the amazing videos and have learned so much about Lions ❣️
Thank you. The picture of her lying spread eagle violated in the OR is not how I wish to remember her. ❤❤❤❤
Its amazing and cruel how mother nature set everything to balance each other
I love the background music, always reminds me of the wild! Beautiful cats, extraordinary relationship but stunning to watch. I'm not within enough to go on safari and try and cuddle lions though!! Haha Cannot believe someone actually did that. Its not like the jungle book people!!! 😂
I wonder who the 3 cubs turned out to be today. Ishca is gone. 😭😭

Thật tuyệt vời hãy bảo vệ chúng👍👍👍
Me encantaria ver algo así rescatando a las chitas, leopardos y tigres.
Dios de a la tierra mas hombres que entiendan del amor y la convivencia asi como este.

Beautiful as always.. 💖🦁💖
Kingdom of love :D
