15:07 The level of respect in that eye contact from Charlie was like he's saying "sorry you had to see that Kevin but it had to be done."
Exactly, he was doing what a lion does to maintain his dominance, giving the girls a tune-up was all, nothing malicious. I do have to say, though, that big lioness is just a bloody gorgeous animal, am thinking she'd make amazing babies
Thor and Charlie walking side by side is a slice of heaven.
When you can whistle and a male Lion changes his direction, obeys you, and follows, that’s amazing, and LAUGHABLE! 😂 I love the leopards, and all of them, but I don’t care how many times I see the lions, they are still the most amazing and majestic animal on this planet. 💕
Always amazing to see Kevin casually walking with the pride. Must be such an honor to be felt.
Their roars are incredible. I could feel their energy and force 🦁
i'm what they call a wildlife expert.... The big fluffy ones are fact checking the other Tigers in the area when they roar so that they get eaten by the elephants first. Those elephants sneak up behind the Tigers and skewer them with their face antlers, beat them to death with their powerful noses and eat them
@@dirttdude accurate
@@dirttdude 😂😂😂
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE 2MALE LIONS WERE MAKING THOSE NOISES AND STOMPING DOWN THE PATH LOLL??
Thorie looks magnificent prancing down the road enjoying the cool fresh air and the damp. What a gorgeous boy he is!
"I bless the rains down in Africa..." Because they gives us amazing videos like this! 🦁🎵
It’s so nice to see the lions playing, you can see how much fun they were having. The white lions are so magnificent. Thank you for another great video.
the tails are looking yummy, a welcome change from delicious ox-tail curries. anyone knows savory lion-tail curry recipes?
@@licenseacademyYou’re not too bright, eh?
Very interesting....takes my mind off my troubles.... I'm 83 and live in my van with my service 🐕🦺......my sister is failing I'm told . The lions and you, Kevin, help me very much. Thank you... Titusville Florida USA
God Bless you Stevi Schermi! Stay safe!
Hope you are doing okay - I'm sorry for your troubles and thinking of you. Glad the lions help :)
@@shelley-anneharrisberg7409 Thank you😊
All the best wishes to you @stevi .. please be happy my best thoughts and energy is with you
My best to you Stevi. I hope you’re well. Wishing you a very, merry Christmas.
These lions don't even understand the excitement and joy they bring to people ❤️ ❤️
Imagine being able to say with such a calm voice “Lions, lions everywhere.” 😂😂😂 0:57
Exactly
I know we should not envy people, but I can’t help but be envious of Kevin. To be able to have such a close, loving bond with a powerful, apex predator must be incredible.
I've always wondered if the lions realize how fragile Kevin is compared to them. They play rough with eachother all the time but I'm assuming they tone it down a bit with Kevin.
Yea I think they know, that’s why they never jump on him. They know he’s part of the pack so they try to keep him safe
The respect and acceptance they give you Kevin is wonderful.
Side note, I love how Kevin pays very close attention to them when he walks with them. Kevin knows not to let them get any ideas about grouping up on him- it's their instincts, it's tough love with lions. I love this channel.
yeah i was thinking the same, i dont think many of the ppl watching understand what you just said there!
Kevin raised these lions since they were cubs and even used them in a movie, so none of them will hurt him. I think both the lion kings see him as their elderly sire. And since Kevin isn't acting in a dominant and non-threatening way, they simply accept him in their coalition.
@@appleheadrobb3391 I was hoping for a correction if necessary, thank you.
@@appleheadrobb3391 Number 1 mistake is assuming wild animals won't hurt you. It just takes one lion in a bad mood to end him. Even if said lion was just fooling around. I'm certain he knows the risks and that's why he always sure to be aware if his surroundings. In this vid he didn't expect the lion to fight with the lioness. He can't predict them 100%.
@@appleheadrobb3391 L take
I get so scared sometimes when the lions are asserting their dominance. It's amazing how much they trust you Kevin.
So beautiful to see them frolicking in the rain wonderful animals 🦁💛🦁💛🦁💛
Kevin Richardson you are the epitome of living your dream. What you do is irreplaceable by anyone else. I hope you know you’re just as amazing as lions are.
@@conormaynardmusic ON NICEGRAM APP i am from Australia 🇦🇺 and have leukemia seeing these beautiful animals puts big grin from ear to ear. They are like over sized 😸 kittens xox
The lions are running around and playing like kittens. Thor makes them understand that they are not kittens and he is in charge. Beautiful clip watching them play and have fun. Love being a member.
Walkies anyone? Seeing Thor standing still with the breeze blowing his mane back is something you don't see every day, wow. He is stunning! It is very powerful to watch these big cats frolicking one minute and then having Thor show who is the leader of the pride with Charlie by his side. Hearing the roar from Thor and then having Charlie join in is something I could listen to all day, it's music to my ears. The girls in this pride have their own personalities however they all blend beautifully, I love all of them. Thank you for this series Kev, love and blessings to you and your team.
And when Kev told him how beautiful he is he looked back with this precious, innocent, look that was so pure
Lola is indeed swinging those hips 🤣 🦁 bless her. Brilliant as ever Kevin.
Yah, she does have a sexy walk, if I was a lion, I'd find her verrrry attractive :) she is a pretty girl
Kevin, this was a wonderful video. Thor was truly asserting his dominance today. It’s amazing how he puts everyone in their place, but with you he’s so loving. Thank you for giving these beautiful lions such a wonderful life. It’s not like they’re in captivity because of the fantastic way you treat them. They could not hope for a better life. God bless you my friend. Much love from the USA.
@@thedarkforest_46664 I remember a video several months ago where Vayeste snapped at Kevin’s hand. Kevin had good reflexes and quickly drew his hand back. Then there was another time Yame (I believe it was Yame) growled and snarled at Kevin. Kevin was on the outside of the enclosure at the time. But for the most part the lions love and respect Kevin. He is truly part of the pride. I so admire him for the time, love, and dedication he puts into saving our wildlife.
❤
their life is much better than it would be in the wild.
@@adrianc6534 So true. Most of the lions would not have lived this long in the wild. They would have either died from territorial fights, poaching, or canned hunting. Or as I prefer to call it, canned murder. I remember an interview Kevin did a couple of years ago and he indicated Vayetse would most likely have been a victim of canned hunting had he not rescued him.
@@Debra.Justice Good example of how long these lions are living for and the quality of their lives, would be Bobcat and Gabby. both closing in on 20 years and still so healthy and fit. Making it past 10 is good, making it to 20?! Not something I can recall off the top of my head, but that is extremely rare if I am not mistaken.
The work and care Kevin and his team put in is very evident.
The lions are really enjoying the weather .rare to see cat happy to be wet
wow Kevin, that was some Kingly behavior from Thor. The raw power is mindblowing. I can see why you have to pay attention when you're walking with them. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the reasons why I LOVE Thor's pride. All 6 of them are so different. You may never know what are you in for.
It's nice to see happy frisky kitties 😊😸
The White Lions are just beyond Majestic !! So Beautiful to watch them !! So AWESOME !! You can tell they LOVE the cool air and rain !!
Kevin, I laughed when the lion picked up the stick by the dam like a dog would & trotted away a few feet. They are a crazy bunch!
They are such a beautiful pride…..thanks, Kevin, for this update.. 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Lions in the rain > Lions in normal weather
watching their pure joy at a rainy day was breathtaking 💜 thanks kevin
I keep going back to this video. Love seeing Thor's pride and their antics ❤
omg, one can see the joy they're feeling by their movements. You have provided heaven on earth for these lions. I am sure their souls will stay with you forever. Thank you, Kevin.
Wow what an awesome walk. I loved it.... So funny watching them play. Thor's very bossy today. Love them all ❤❤❤
INCREDIBLE footage in this video, Kevin and crew! Watching the lions play, roar, and even squabble was awesome. It seems to me like Thor just had a little bit of extra energy on that cool, rainy day and decided to flex his muscle, but who knows? "Don't come between Jubari and her food. She'll sort you out." Can relate! 🤣 Thanks for another fabulous episode of meet the characters!
It was nice to see Charlie in a jolly mood.
From what I remember, he is normally a bit of a grump. 😅
Oh yes, Charlie's second name is Grumpy McGrumpness.😁
He's been quite nice this last year. He had a vitamin A defficiency and had headaches. Now he's much better!
They get in their little moods and establish their hierarchy now and again. I love these lions so much. Thankyou Kevin!!!
Magnificent creatures ❤
My pet cat gets the same way in cool, blustery weather - she just wants to frolic and prance!
Clearly this pride was full of joy, energy, and beans today! The playfulness of the lioness was fun to see. The boys bonding was nice to see as well. And omg, the roaring...I could feel the vibrations coming through the video...wow. wish I knew what was up with Thor picking on the girls. Hmmmm, head scratcher. Thanks for sharing that Kevin. You had quite the workout yourself!🦁💖
he was doing what a lion does to maintain his dominance, giving the girls a tune-up was all, nothing malicious
@@aussiechris5904 you may very well be correct, I just had not seen Thor and Charlie doing that before.
That little episode with the roaring after the tune up was frickin astounding.
Thor is particularly graceful for a big cat. He's just really smooth as he glides along.
I can’t pick one favorite!! I really love them all, and their different personalities. ❤️
Yeah, u can't pick one cos it'll be unfair to all the other beauties
"I'm singin' in the rain, Just singin' in the rain, What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again..." Fabulous ! So happy to see them all enjoying their enrichment walk with so much passion and enthusiasm. Seeing you evolve in the midst of this magnificent pride is always so magical. Thank you for this superb video!
Their roar is one of the scariest sounds on a Earth! Love the video! They're all such great, entertaining characters!
Hi Kevin God protect you for ever we love to see you walking the lions 🙏💖
It’s incredible despite the large space they have you can clearly see their intrigue with what’s beyond. Always walking alongside or close by the parameters in which they can’t escape. So interesting and intelligent animals
This guy has balls of steel bro. And another thing is true that is how lucky he is to be carelessly around these brilliant creatures. Respect!
This was definitely a very playful walk. Great to see them having so much fun. Thor's behaviour was quite interesting to observe 🖤
A delight to watch.
They're so Beautiful...! I could sit here & watch them for hours! Thank-You! 💖
Wouaw !😹🦁 What an amazing walk! Poor girls 😂 thank u Kevin ! It's wonderful to learn so many things about those so beautiful and graceful animals ! Naughty Gaby & Bobcat are my favourite but Thor's pride is amazing ! You are giving a so wonderful life to your animals ,God blesse u! 🦁❤️🙏
What an extremely interestingly different surprising walk indeed. Fantastic hearing and seeing both Thor and Charlie roaring.
Lol at Thor shaking his paw in the water
I can see why Thor's group and the other lions love exploring and playing around in the rain Kevin. If I was a big cat, I'd be doing the same. 😅
Much needed serotonin dump watching the cats in the rain! Thank you those Characters are hilarious in their sogginess 😂🦁
The colours in this video are pure magic. Just like the lions. Kevin is so at one with them, it's amazing to watch but my heart is constantly in my throat. Those roars are goosebump stuff.
Them roaring together was so powerful. I got chills
If I recall correctly, Charlie was living with chronic headache pain. I live that way, and it's hard to be sociable with a bad headache. It's great to see him feeling better and showing that he's not a grump at heart.
Wonder if he's getting some medication for those chronic headaches. They hurt and makes even us humans crabby.🤔🤔
@@waterbird91 I think they found the root cause and addressed it. My memory is foggy, but I think he had pressure that was identified and relieved. He seems much happier.
I wish they could speak our language. It would be so much easier to help them, and so much harder for crappy people to dismiss them.
Try nurtec for headache.
I once heard a lion roaring in a bush in Kruger Park during a safari. It was so loud, you cannot imagine. Also, a lioness came very close to our car. She was beautiful. I will never forget this adventure in my life. 🥰
Wow. What a walk!! This was fantastic!!!
wow that's something no documentary ever gets is that sound between the two of them like that. not even close.
I love how they listen to him, these 8 years old are beautiful
I love the way you call them cats - I have one "black leopard" and one "lion" who rolls his shoulders as if he were a lion. Love your videos and how you interact with your "cats". Thank you so much !
I wish we could see more of Meg & Kevin together! My favorite.
I keep watching this video over and over. It’s so amazing. I love Thor’s Pride. Praying for you speedy recovery, Kevin. ❤
WOW! I really enjoyed that walk with the lions. I've never seen them behaving that way. Like bored cranky toddlers!! AWESOME!! 😊❤🦁🦁
Always wondering what their lifes would look like if you were not there. Loves for them saves them. Great jobs Kevin.
Kevin, thank you so much fornyour devotion to these beautiful animals. The world needs more people like you!
OMG = Landscaping in the rain = how fun.
The Lion Whisperer TV putting a smile on my face again, thank you so much!! 🦁💞
It’s so fabulous to see the lions so happy and care free.Thank you Kev
The tolerance/love that the lions show is unbelievable. God bless this man
Cool weather equals frisky cats!!! Beautiful!!!
Have you guys ever seen Dean with his lion pride. They great him and show him love all the time. He raised them since birth. Definitely a must watch. Dean Schneider
K - "Thor doesn't mind the water"
T - shakes paws like a normal house cat "EEWWW!"
Also ~ I will _never_ grow tired of hearing Thor and Charlie roar & grumble! It's beautiful and frightening at the same time 🦁
No matter how long I see Kevin with these lions I never lose the feeling of how crazy it is that they accept him as part of the pride.
Any one of them could end you with minimal effort. It just doesn't get old. Neither does their beauty.
They are as big-hearted as they are fierce. That's the beauty of God's favored creature.
it is ABSOLUTE fun to watch the roughhousing -- Thor acting the part of a god 🤣🙃love the craziness!!! AND Jabari is SUCH a presence! 💞💖
Fantastic video Kevin, so funny and interesting! One of the Best video I have seen of you and the lions! Kevin you are such a great and generous heart.🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁❤
Kevin
I am always envious of your ability to be a part of the pride. If our families could know how to live as these tremendous animals do? You are so blessed by God to be there in the mist of each pride. Everyone realize how wonderfully and beautiful each one of you are!!!!
Kevin.. sometimes I am jealous of your ability to go where others can not trod.. But then there are those day when I feel my courage would fail me and I would be just a bag of cat food.. thanks brother.. stay safe and thanks for showing us the other side of big cats.. This one was wild!
I love Thor and Charlie such beautiful Kings
This has to be one of the most amazing walks when it comes to behavior. Really love it.
Sei speciale, la tua magia delizia sia noi umani che gli animali. Grazie Kevin, grazie di poter vivere queste meraviglie della natura attraverso te e il tuo dono di Dio nell’essere così empatico con il mondo animale. Con affetto Claudia e Umberto e il nostro piccolo Andrea di 10 anni…dalla Sicilia 🥰
It is always amazing to watch you walk with these powerful animals. The way they accept you is astonishing.
1:05 La Neige est la reine! ❤️
That was a pretty intense moment there when they were all roaring
Like my sister said about my kittie who is just amazingly sweet...."she's still a cat.." and I love that mystery about these beautiful cats.
There isn't a better movie than this Real Wonderful Nature Show 🥰🥰💯💗💓
Jeeze, to be among such beautiful cats. Make me feel so DEPRIVED, what a great job to have among these talking cats !!😍😍😍😍
... "She will sort you out!" LOL Thor is bad ass! He has his own soundtrack!
Such beautiful animals. I love how you can walk with them.
I love these videos and the chance to catch up with the lions! Also love Kevin's narration! ❤️
Thank you Kevin!
To beautiful. It must be heaven on earth to hear the lion boys roar. I'm hoping to have that privilidge one day.
😯🥊🦁 The Characters didn't disappoint, either. 'Wow ! That was mental, ' 🤩 sums that walk up. The girls were embarassing Thor, lol. Yikes! Wonder how those Rrrrrroars felt in person.
What a great, refreshing video. I so enjoyed it. It was so nice to see all the rain and the lions having so much fun. Thank you Kevin🌸💕
I love all your videos and learning about all the girls and boys. They are all magnificent ♥️
Really beautiful to see you & your lions, I just cannot get enough. Gorgeous animals & the love you give them is unreal. Thank you 😻
Love seeing them having fun in the rain. Thor was being a bit of a stinker there at the end. Better be careful boy, there's two against one now 🦁😄
You are coming to the middle of your summer but it is cloudy and raining. It seems that many animals get a bit frisky when the weather is weird or changing. Maybe that's what has Thor on the prod today.
They are all beautiful, and it is always nice to see them being happy and healthy lions. Thanks, Kevin.
Definitely, horses are the same in this kind of weather - full of beans.
Hi Kevin 🥰
Thanks for another season of "Meet the Character" series!!
I love ❤️ Indie as you described her, she's a beautiful level-headed smart girl among her sisters 💕 Therefore, you could imagine how worried I was about her after everyone was picking at her...!! 😭😭😭
After all, she may be too nice to be a lioness... which could be dangerous if she's in the wild nature, but thanks to Kevin, she's all right after that little incident, I hope?
I look forward to your next video!! Please stay warm and dry 🙏💜👍😘💖
15:09 " Join us Kev, sing our mighty song with us!"
Thor you big handsome boy. I love the way they play in the wet slipping and sliding. Watching these enrichment walks puts smile on my face and 😊.
