I have no idea if you know Trelli but if not I would look him up. Him and Kevin were the best buddies and Kevin could literally pick him up and spin him around. He would also ride in the car and he liked to escape to piss off the lions. Talking about a character. :D

Kevin is really respectful and cautious of Nancy. He never leaves her out of his peripheral and whenever she goes behind him, he always eyes her. They are cautious of each other. Very interesting. Kevin seems to be at par with the Matriarch as well in terms of hierarchy.
@@DinnerForkTongue That's actually a really good point. Even thinking of Kevin as at the same level as Geena didn't lead me to that conclusion. Nancy probably sees Kevin as a threat to her plans to overthrow Geena.
Yeah, they have a lot of convergent evolution with dogs! However, they also have a lot of cat qualities and behaviors that aren't as often mentioned. Their grooming habits for example are like cats and they will groom themselves to keep clean. Their parental behavior is also like that of cats. They dig away their poo and then don't scent mark with urine the same way dogs do. They don't rely as much on smell for navigation and can see very well. Some also like catnip as you can see in this video.
I remember subbing when the channel was about 175 thousand subs, and wondering why it wasn't millions upon millions of subs. It really should be! So wonderful to see more and more people come an appreciate these animals and the care they are given.
@thelionwhisperer The way you interact and, most importantly, understand and respect these animals is just phenomenal. This world needs human beings like you. Thank you. Thank you.
I really appreciate what Kevin Richardson does for these animals. A lot of people view hyenas as nasty scavengers. They are just amazing scavengers. Thank you for all you do for these awesome creatures!!!
Geena seems to be in amazing condition, I had no idea they could live so long, presumably in the wild life would be much more of a challenge for them! Their skulls are massive, I'm guessing they are much more powerful than a large domestic dog! Very happy to have found your channel, stay safe.
Thank you Kevin, you have completely changed my opinion on hyenas. They have been painted in a much different light than what is actual reality. I now see how much personality these guys have and also how intelligent they are. Also I would have never thought they were so lovable!! Again thank you! Your videos are so important for people to see and to educate them on the truth about these amazing animals!!
paisleyyama You’re probably right, it’s been a long time since I watched that episode, so I think I’ve forgotten where Kevin sent Nicholas. But I agree, Nicholas in particular must have been particularly stinky! 😂
Don't want to rain on your parade, but I think you overrate Ringo Star. Image how good The Beatles would have been with drummers like Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colaiuta or Manu Katché. Or Steve Gadd incase you really want a drummer with a beard.
It is crazy for me to watch this! I still remember when Geena had her first baby, things didn’t go well! To see her still in that top spot, the queen of the clan is just amazing! And I’m so glad to be able to see, on a regular basis, how often people are educated and introduced to just how intelligent and sophisticated these animals are! They have been portrayed for so long as the mindless thugs, and that’s so far from the truth! I still look forward to each new adventure that Kevin graciously shares with us!!
I'm not going to lie, I didn't have the highest opinion of hyena's when I was a kid but never HATED them. However, Kevin and this channel has definitely given me a healthy appreciation for these animals. They're so amazing and clever!!
When I was 13 (2019), my family and I visited a few countries in Africa and went on several safaris and our guide was so surprised about my interest in spotted hyenas. He said they were his favorite animal and since they were, and still are, mine as well, we spent a lot of time talking about them and so on. It was so precious cause he weren't used to anyone being so excited about them and not lions etc.
It' so interesting how different Geena and Nancy are personality-wise. Having the leader be so affectionate towards you and knowing that the successor isn't, has to tbe quite a bummer.
if i remember right nancy isn’t very affectionate because when geena had her, geena kept them hidden away from kevin so they weren’t able to build the same relationship with kevin 😲
@Michael David, I think you've got it. Kevin has said that he raised Geena from a cub, and she raised Nancy. She was very protective of her cubs and wouldn't let Kevin near them, as she lost her first one when it was killed by another hyena shortly after being born.
@@tonynagy2042 Nancy still has time to build up trust in Kevin before Geena is likely to die. There was a recent video where she was allowing Kevin to scratch her head (LOL He was tickled too!), and was staying fairly near him. She's come a long way from when she was younger and would only dart at him and try to nip or catch the camera.
I love how all of the animals accept you into all their different packs. Geena looks so sweet when you’re scratching her chin 🥺 Cute but deadly with a strong jaw 😳 still so precious. Before this I’ve only ever known hyenas from the lion king lol, as little dirty sneaky scoundrels. But they are actually some really smart, cute, and organized little group. 💗
Kevin greeets with, "Hello Puddings.." So funny! Ever since Stinky Bum Nickolas won my heart I am quite fond of Hyenas.. Bravo Kevin for changing my perception.. 💞🦁💞

@@pamelatenn2890 Kevin diesnt say anything about YN because he was killed by wild lions. Kevin donated him to a research group who sacrificed Young Nicholas to an experiment to see if s tame hyena could live jn the wild.. Pointless & tragic. Why would they do this when anyone with half a brain knows the answer. 1?/
Thank you so much for this video! Contents like this will educate people about the true nature of hyenas, and not misleading people into thinking hyenas are horrible (because they're definitely not, duh). Keep up the great work, Kev!
these beautiful creatures are both misunderstood and underestimated in the animal kingdom. they happen to be my favorite animal of all time and i have upmost respect to them. it's amazing seeing them like this.
Although we spent most of our ancestry with freedom and equality and certainly no leadership. The intact ecosystem being the only true boss needed! Our gift to the universe being egalitarianism. A definite move away from ape and chimp hierarchical society. Or rather their ancestors and ours. It's the gatherer hunting on the move that triggered our unique cooperation. Then a mere 7 to 10 thousand years ago we were sadly re indoctrinated into the ancestral style of hierarchy. The domestication of wheat and grazing mammals led to the creation of the first capital in the form of stored grain..something to fight for. to defend. to steal. Central organisation that springs from the nature of agriculture lends itself to god like elites and a huge servant class of workers for planting and harvesting. In between testosterone management kept the ruling elite in luxury and not usually attacked until their magic failed along with the harvest. The trick was to get farmers to start building...roads...canals ...temples to their fertility gods ...moving massive rocks kept the growing population focussed. As did warfare. The average Joe Bloggs lost out big time in the transition from freedom loving fiercely egalitarian gatherer hunters to becoming a cog in the ever growing wheel of farming. What with the military conscription. Drudgery of the plough. a raft of new zoonotic diseases and frightening plagues. Now you suddenly get a massive drop in freedom. obey or be punished. Huge drop in leisure time. longevity and height. The drudgery disease and diet made life brutish sad and short. With royalty came the elites population adjusting perpetual warfare ...between harvesting. Gatherer hunters had no leaders and no such wars. Neighbouring bands were friends and family and movement between free people was natural. The royals were just warlords really. An endless cycle of violence kept the farming building soldiering masses in poverty and subjugation. Th at is about the size of it. Given the freedom to choose people are friendly and cooperation comes easy. The ruling elite put much effort into mind controlling us to hate the enemies of the state. The recent arrival of democracy was a result of capital going ISM To also manage the barons.... it wasn't intended for the masses. In our hearts and minds and spirit humanity always craves freedom and equality . And community. 7 billion are far easier for a ruling elite to decieve than 70! The idea that we are still required to keep a tiny minority wealthy worked for 7 to 10 millennium . The multi billionaires who are self identifying as eugenicists plus they have a fetish for depopulation have gone CRAZY. Or rather they have seen they don't think their survival possible if we all continue this lifestyle that created enough CO2 to heat up the planet beyond the parameters of viable grain harvests. The Bilderberg AGM guest list take the existential threat of climate catastrophe seriously. They have realised their model of huge populations serving them has had its day. It's so last century to amass ever more money. Money can't save them or us from runaway heating Their perenial problem of holding onto power not just money has caused a paradigm shift within their gilded palaces and fortified mansions. They have been very busy building luxury underground bunkers. And these capitalist PREPPERS have plans to sit out the coming collapse of the techno industrial society. Some have ambition to go into low orbit luxurious hibernation Techno utopians one and all they put their faith and their profits into A.I. which is being entrusted to automate the entire lower carbon processes needed to operate a scaled down but technologically advanced system. They have been very busy planning a party.. You won't be getting an invite...along with nearly 7 billion others. After thousands of years and the rise and fall of a dozen or so grain based civilisations...This one is coming to an with their own made eco disaster far worse than the Mayans droughts The Sumerian super volcanic eruptions...of the many that are now occupied desserts or retaken by forests after a devastating PANDEMIC (!) This particular downfall of our current civilisation is set to dwarf all previous collapses which other than some super volcanoes extending out into decade long winters ..This disaster movie threatens to badly damage the whole planets atmosphere...we are possibly taking out huge chunks of the plant and animal kingdoms ...it's actually quite realistic the various positive feedback mechanisms that dangerously interelate giving way to such an Era of extreme heat that only extremophiles mostly single celled but perhaps multi celled wonders like the tiny but cute tardigrades or water bears who are very resilient by nature . The continuation of successful living communities is probably gauranteed at those deep sea volcanic vents named black smokers ...as long as these stable vents chug along and the ocean bio chemistry is not suddenly unfavourable or if warming keeps on until the world's water boils off into space where it originally came from. Of course not even the ingenious Bilderbergers can sit out the worst case scenarios ....on a planet where even the water is off being underground in luxury bunkers will make a top end burial chamber to rival the pharaohs. I doubt the DVD player or I mac will tell a future alien archaeologist much...not past a few decades. what if global warming just collapses our techno industrial grain based civilisation and the resulting famine and desertification kills all but 5 to 10thousand of us (that happened 74 thousand years ago causing a human bottle neck reducing our genetic variation )and when the pollution we pump stops...the resulting loss of "global dimming " rises global temperatures three extra degrees in just a few weeks ...temperatures which melt more of the frozen methane hydrates further inceases by methane which is far more of an effective greenhouse gas than co2 although shorter lived will raise worldwide temperatures..a lot. If all the ice on land melts sea level rises will huge...Greenland ice alone is calculated at 23 metres rise ...globally. If ALL the land glaciation melts including antartctica into the sea the level will be what ? 150 to 200m ?!... expect various knock on effects losing so much coastal land...most the world's urbanisations flooded a lot of the most productive and deepest top soils. After all the weight of the ice gone volcanic activity will increase especially earthquakes and tsunamis terrifying the few survivors once again. The land masses will likely keep up lifting for thousands of years. As today's ice free land keeps on up and up this long term isostatic rebound from when the last ice age ended causing a 430ft sea level rise around the globe. Possibly erasing much archaeology of previous civilisations if you ask Graham Handcock and his colleague and friend Russell Carlson (or something similar?poops! ) I'll gargle his name ...he's a very important Geologist..archaeologist. land whisperer ( my description not his) philosopher .stone mason astrologist historian builder.mythologist ...freemason.reader of symbology and an all round sciences teacher. He's your man for reading the landscape for mega flood events.Inflagrations from significant comets and on and on. off to check his name a check his online courses. THE END of part one
I woke up today in California and saw you had a new video. It’s been tough here with Covid as I work in the ER and this is such a refreshing watch. Thank you for your reality!
How sweet to see Geena's clan hanging out in the shade together, I love their teddy bear cuteness. That was an interesting noise at 6:33, was it from Nancy or Geena? Woody eating catnip out of Kevin's hand was awesome. Nancy has a love of cameras like Gabby does for tires, haha. Poor Ringo, I bet he'd have liked a treat. I like how Geena twitches her ears when Kevin scratches her neck. 😍🤩💯

I can still remember maybe 15-20 yrs ago, Kevin fell in love with a beautiful hyena pup named Milo & how devastated he was when Milo was poisoned. Idk why that memory has stayed with me so long & so vividly, but I think it’s just indicative of Kevin’s entire being in relation to these animals that he loves & cares for. I remember Kevin trying to teach Milo how to hunt. I’ll never forget that. Milo was the first hyena that made me interested in them as a whole. He was an ambassador without knowing & for such a short time, but so inspiring. RIP Sweet Milo💗
I'd be curious to see behind the scenes how the animals developed a relationship with staff. Unplanned events perhaps?? Have a fab weekend, cheers from Montreal.
From what I have learned from watching over the years Kevin is the only one on foot with the animals the rest are in a vehicle or outside of the fence. : ) peace
No, there is one guy who can be round one of the lions because he’s been round him since a cub. I’m sure it was one of the lions. He was on a walk once and Kevin addressed why he could walk with them.
@@Ginge1164 That was Graeme Patterson. He started working with George and Yame when they arrived at the Sanctuary from Spain, but I don't think he's still working with Kevin. He is on Instagram as @graemepattersonphotography sharing wonderful photographs he's been taking in the wild.
More more more of hyena videos. Love seeing you with the clan every time. I love seeing how deeply different each personality is and how they interact with you. Geena is such a sweet heart towards you.
I think hyenas are amazing animals. They have a lot of mystery to them. Thank you so much for making a video about them. Your videos educates everyone. I agree, hyenas are really misunderstood.
Oh, I love Geena's group! I've actually never seen them before, I've seen Bongo/Keto's group a few times, but never Geena's. Thanks, Kev, for the education u gave me about Hyenas in general. They do get a bad reputation, but they just act and behave according to their insticts. Keep 'em coming!!
I been watching your videos recently. All though I like the cats I really love them guys the most. There so cool. Watching these videos changed everything I ever thought about them. The TV makes the out to be something different.This is way better then anything on tv
Nancy makes me feel really anxious watching this video. I know she's not evil or anything, but don't really feel it's safe to regularly hang around an animal like that.
I think her problem stems from him being a male (albeit of a different species). She can smell the testosterone on him and instinctively considers him to be lesser, but he's not. It will be interesting when Nancy's in charge.
Homer would be so proud to see how much you've grown. I always think of him from time to time and wish we had home around for longer then we did! He was such a wonderful little guy!
I think of Homer a lot when watching the hyenas, reference or seeing them in the back ground. He was an amazing little boy and Kevin and Homer's love and relationship was extraordinary. Saddens me to this day and so many years have passed. I can only imagine Kevin's feelings. ❤️
The explanations are awesome and watching Keving doing this complex dance of doing exactly the right thing in the right moment order to interact with animals that could just bite off a chunk of him is endlessly fascinating. Not to mention the talent, experience and instinct it takes to pick up every single angle and change of vibe in a dynamic situation with highly dangerous animals and react immediately to it, while talking to the camera and being potentially distracted; there are no words for this kind of expertise and cleverness.
I just found your channel and was thrilled to see this show on Geena and her clan. I have been a fan of hyenas for a long time and really appreciate what you are doing for them. Teaching about their hierarchy and bringing to light what great animals they really are. Thank you Kevin for showing a positive slant on them. Look forward to watching more of your hyena (and other animal) videos.
Hyenas have been my favorite animals for a long time now. I love seeing these videos and watching the interaction between you and them. It's always been somewhat of a dream of mine to be able to interact with hyenas like this.
Mr Kevin spoke very well ,the way he articulately express his thought is very flawless in the most natural way. Its very captivating to the audience because it's very peaceful and calming just to listening to him. It also helps with his nice accent. I think he is the best person to introduce this very obscure animal to the world.But they are very dangerous and only thier ears are cute.
I always thought my name and spelling 'Geena' was pretty uncommon so to hear that I share it with one of these wonderful animals in your care is so great!! Love your content!
Awesome to see the clan!!! Your an amazing advocate for these animals. Literally changing the stereotype for these creatures. Thank you for the great content. 💪😎
I remember the first time that I saw Kevin. Many years ago. He was with Geena and several others. I saw him on National Geographic. I was in awe. I still am.
Omg occasionally saw this on my feed. So happy to know that after all these years Geena is still alive. Oh how I miss old lion brothers hope they are doing fine in heaven
@@HkFinn83 I mean Kevin always reminds us how dangerous they really are and he's only able to have such an interaction with them because he's been with them since they were babies and he treats them with care and respect. Those who do not get the message and try to replicate what he's doing are the ignorant ones.
Kevin, I must say you have a special feel for the animals around you. You sense what they are doing in the way they move and sound. I'm very impressed by that. I want to wish you and all the people around you total safety and care. What your doing is not for the timid. Many blessings to you and yours. Stay well.
So what does it mean for you when Nancy takes over? Will she let you come around still? She seems not to be trusted. Do you have an idea or is it a wait and see situation?
You looked like me a couple of years ago preparing little goodies for our boys for pre-school. Same containers by the way!😅Sending a huge hug for Vayetse, my Surfer Boy❣️🥰🦁🐾 We enjoyed to see Geena, Woody, Nancy and Ringo, after quite a while. We really fell in love with them❣️So happy you changed our view of hyenas that was mainly formed by Disney! It’s great to see the different characters with their particular behavior and favorite goodies. We’re hoping that the things will progress smoothly in the clan with Geena coming into age. Also interesting to observe Nancy’s behavior and reaction to you. Never a dull moment when watching your videos. We always finish a little bit wiser.☺️🥰 (We need a hyena icon here...) By the way, our cats also eat Catnip! We grow it at several spots in our garden. It helps to digest I learned apart from the relaxing. Never disturb a cat high on catnip! We learned it the hard way...😅 Love you all❣️Stay safe and best wishes from the whole family❣️😘

Geena seems to be in amazing condition, I had no idea they could live so long, presumably in the wild life would be much more of a challenge for them! Their skulls are massive, I'm guessing they are much more powerful than a large domestic dog! Very happy to have found your channel, stay safe.
Thank you Kevin, you have completely changed my opinion on hyenas. They have been painted in a much different light than what is actual reality. I now see how much personality these guys have and also how intelligent they are. Also I would have never thought they were so lovable!! Again thank you! Your videos are so important for people to see and to educate them on the truth about these amazing animals!!
Amazing to hear this, thank you!
18:00 RIngo is smart. Staying away from the drama and social distancing 🤣🤣🤣
"She gets that i'm a food source..."
hopefully without you becoming.. a food source. :)
@Eyema Khum-Gussler yep :) that was my implication.
Hi. Geeena
Hi. Nancy
Head. Female
That. Apecking. Order
The only reason I'm in love with Hyenas now, is Kevin. Thank you to the whole team for doing so much. ❤
Kevin greets his hyenas with "Hello, Puddings! Hello, Puddings!" 😂😂😂😂😂😊
@paisleyyama One of them, yes, "Oo, Stinky Bum. who's the stinky bum, weeee, weeee!" Kevin is full of baby talk for all the animals in his care. 😄😄
It's so wholesome
First Harvest It was Nicholas, right? Stinky Bum got released to go out in the wide world, and that was a sad and happy day!
paisleyyama You’re probably right, it’s been a long time since I watched that episode, so I think I’ve forgotten where Kevin sent Nicholas. But I agree, Nicholas in particular must have been particularly stinky! 😂
You are a legend! Caring so deeply for these fantastic beasts. Amazed by the loving bond every time. Bless You my friend!
Simply beautiful animals. Bless their hearts and lives.
Man, I love me some hyenas. 🐾
Aren't they great
Awesome Animal. She’s a Great Rep for her kind!
@@LionWhispererTV yes they are
Kevin has the face of love, hard work and joy.
Poor Ringo as in the Beatles he is the underrated in this band of four.
Haha! Right? Poor guy!
But he's still alive. That's gotta count for something.
Best comment ‘o the day! 🤣
😹
Don't want to rain on your parade, but I think you overrate Ringo Star. Image how good The Beatles would have been with drummers like Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colaiuta or Manu Katché. Or Steve Gadd incase you really want a drummer with a beard.
The relationship with wild animals and their trust is phenomena, it's your love and trust in them....absolutely awesome 👍
It is crazy for me to watch this! I still remember when Geena had her first baby, things didn’t go well! To see her still in that top spot, the queen of the clan is just amazing! And I’m so glad to be able to see, on a regular basis, how often people are educated and introduced to just how intelligent and sophisticated these animals are! They have been portrayed for so long as the mindless thugs, and that’s so far from the truth! I still look forward to each new adventure that Kevin graciously shares with us!!
I'm not going to lie, I didn't have the highest opinion of hyena's when I was a kid but never HATED them. However, Kevin and this channel has definitely given me a healthy appreciation for these animals. They're so amazing and clever!!
“Hello puddings” kevin always them with random cute words ☺️🤣❤️
When I was 13 (2019), my family and I visited a few countries in Africa and went on several safaris and our guide was so surprised about my interest in spotted hyenas. He said they were his favorite animal and since they were, and still are, mine as well, we spent a lot of time talking about them and so on. It was so precious cause he weren't used to anyone being so excited about them and not lions etc.
Very happy to see Gina and her clan again!! They are so fun to watch
It' so interesting how different Geena and Nancy are personality-wise.
Having the leader be so affectionate towards you and knowing that the successor isn't, has to tbe quite a bummer.
if i remember right nancy isn’t very affectionate because when geena had her, geena kept them hidden away from kevin so they weren’t able to build the same relationship with kevin 😲
@Michael David, I think you've got it. Kevin has said that he raised Geena from a cub, and she raised Nancy. She was very protective of her cubs and wouldn't let Kevin near them, as she lost her first one when it was killed by another hyena shortly after being born.
@@tonynagy2042 Nancy still has time to build up trust in Kevin before Geena is likely to die. There was a recent video where she was allowing Kevin to scratch her head (LOL He was tickled too!), and was staying fairly near him. She's come a long way from when she was younger and would only dart at him and try to nip or catch the camera.
@@transcan1
I love how all of the animals accept you into all their different packs. Geena looks so sweet when you’re scratching her chin 🥺 Cute but deadly with a strong jaw 😳 still so precious. Before this I’ve only ever known hyenas from the lion king lol, as little dirty sneaky scoundrels.
But they are actually some really smart, cute, and organized little group. 💗
To be sneaky, there needs to be intelligence.
Kevin greeets with, "Hello Puddings.." So funny! Ever since Stinky Bum Nickolas won my heart I am quite fond of Hyenas.. Bravo Kevin for changing my perception.. 💞🦁💞
HELLO FROM 🇺🇸 AMERICA.WHat happened to sweet Hyena Nicholas?
He was such a sweetie pie.
@@pamelatenn2890 Hello back from the USA!
🇺🇸 Kevin took Stinky Bum to a wonderful place where he got married and had kids. Very happy ending. Stay safe and stay well! 💞🦁💞
Thank you Maggie.
I am so very happy for Nicholas and his new family.I can't recall, but does Kevin do "UPDATES ON NICHOLAS"
I MISS HIM.LOVE THE HYENAS TOO MAGGIE, AS WELL AS LIONS AND ALL THE REST OF KEVIN'S BABIES.
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE WEEKEND!🐱🐵🐴🐗🐦🐘🐹🐅🐜🐾🐾
@@pamelatenn2890 I think it's a great idea for you to ask Kevin to do an update on Nickolas! I would love to see that happen! It might be kind of challenging because of the pandemic tho. Blessings to you and your family as well! 🙏🦁🙏🦁💞💞💞
@@pamelatenn2890 Kevin diesnt say anything about YN because he was killed by wild lions. Kevin donated him to a research group who sacrificed Young Nicholas to an experiment to see if s tame hyena could live jn the wild.. Pointless & tragic. Why would they do this when anyone with half a brain knows the answer. 1?/
Thank you so much for this video! Contents like this will educate people about the true nature of hyenas, and not misleading people into thinking hyenas are horrible (because they're definitely not, duh). Keep up the great work, Kev!
Spotted hyena are my favorite animal! Thank you for this video! There's never enough content about them that's not vilification
these beautiful creatures are both misunderstood and underestimated in the animal kingdom. they happen to be my favorite animal of all time and i have upmost respect to them. it's amazing seeing them like this.
Love Geena and Woody , wish I could give them a big cuddle so adorable . As always Kevin great video .🤗❤🐆🐆❤
It's amazing that the concept of a monarchy exists even in the animal kingdom. Probably explains why it's been with mankind for so many centuries.
That being said, just because monarchies occur in nature, that doesn't mean they are the best way to organize society.
Call it a hierarchy, not monarchy. Monarchy is just one type of hierarchy. Hierarchy is intrinsic to our being (and many other animals).
Although we spent most of our ancestry with freedom and equality and certainly no leadership.
The intact ecosystem being the only true boss needed!
Our gift to the universe being egalitarianism.
A definite move away from ape and chimp hierarchical society.
Or rather their ancestors and ours.
It's the gatherer hunting on the move that triggered our unique cooperation.
Then a mere 7 to 10 thousand years ago we were sadly re indoctrinated into the ancestral style of hierarchy.
The domestication of wheat and grazing mammals led to the creation of the first capital in the form of stored grain..something to fight for. to defend. to steal.
Central organisation that springs from the nature of agriculture lends itself to god like elites and a huge servant class of workers for planting and harvesting.
In between testosterone management kept the ruling elite in luxury and not usually attacked until their magic failed along with the harvest.
The trick was to get farmers to start building...roads...canals ...temples to their fertility gods ...moving massive rocks kept the growing population focussed.
As did warfare.
The average Joe Bloggs lost out big time in the transition from freedom loving fiercely egalitarian gatherer hunters to becoming a cog in the ever growing wheel of farming.
What with the military conscription. Drudgery of the plough. a raft of new zoonotic diseases and frightening plagues.
Now you suddenly get a massive drop in freedom.
obey or be punished.
Huge drop in leisure time.
longevity and height.
The drudgery disease and diet made life brutish sad and short.
With royalty came the elites population adjusting perpetual warfare ...between harvesting.
Gatherer hunters had no leaders and no such wars.
Neighbouring bands were friends and family and movement between free people was natural.
The royals were just warlords really.
An endless cycle of violence kept the farming building soldiering masses in poverty and subjugation.
Th at is about the size of it.
Given the freedom to choose people are friendly and cooperation comes easy.
The ruling elite put much effort into mind controlling us to hate the enemies of the state.
The recent arrival of democracy was a result of capital going ISM
To also manage the barons.... it wasn't intended for the masses.
In our hearts and minds and spirit humanity always craves freedom and equality .
And community.
7 billion are far easier for a ruling elite to decieve than 70!
The idea that we are still required to keep a tiny minority wealthy worked for 7 to 10 millennium .
The multi billionaires who are self identifying as eugenicists plus they have a fetish for depopulation have gone CRAZY.
Or rather they have seen they don't think their survival possible if we all continue this lifestyle that created enough CO2 to heat up the planet beyond the parameters of viable grain harvests.
The Bilderberg AGM guest list take the existential threat of climate catastrophe seriously.
They have realised their model of huge populations serving them has had its day.
It's so last century to amass ever more money.
Money can't save them or us from runaway heating
Their perenial problem of holding onto power not just money has caused a paradigm shift within their gilded palaces and fortified mansions.
They have been very busy building luxury underground bunkers.
And these capitalist PREPPERS have plans to sit out the coming collapse of the techno industrial society.
Some have ambition to go into low orbit luxurious hibernation
Techno utopians one and all they put their faith and their profits into A.I.
which is being entrusted to automate the entire lower carbon processes needed to operate a scaled down but technologically advanced system.
They have been very busy planning a party..
You won't be getting an invite...along with nearly 7 billion others.
After thousands of years and the rise and fall of a dozen or so grain based civilisations...This one is coming to an with their own made eco disaster far worse than the Mayans droughts The Sumerian super volcanic eruptions...of the many that are now occupied desserts or retaken by forests after a devastating PANDEMIC (!)
This particular downfall of our current civilisation is set to dwarf all previous collapses which other than some super volcanoes extending out into decade long winters ..This disaster movie threatens to badly damage the whole planets atmosphere...we are possibly taking out huge chunks of the plant and animal kingdoms ...it's actually quite realistic the various positive feedback mechanisms that dangerously interelate
giving way to such an Era of extreme heat that only extremophiles mostly single celled but perhaps multi celled wonders like the tiny but cute tardigrades or water bears who are very resilient by nature .
The continuation of successful living communities is probably gauranteed at those deep sea volcanic vents named black smokers ...as long as these stable vents chug along and the ocean bio chemistry is not suddenly unfavourable or if warming keeps on until the world's water boils off into space where it originally came from.
Of course not even the ingenious Bilderbergers can sit out the worst case scenarios ....on a planet where even the water is off being underground in luxury bunkers will make a top end burial chamber to rival the pharaohs.
I doubt the DVD player or I mac will tell a future alien archaeologist much...not past a few decades.
what if global warming just collapses our techno industrial grain based civilisation and the resulting famine and desertification kills all but 5 to 10thousand of us (that happened 74 thousand years ago causing a human bottle neck reducing our genetic variation )and when the pollution we pump stops...the resulting loss of "global dimming " rises global temperatures three extra degrees in just a few weeks ...temperatures which melt more of the frozen methane hydrates further inceases by methane which is far more of an effective greenhouse gas than co2 although shorter lived will raise worldwide temperatures..a lot.
If all the ice on land melts sea level rises will huge...Greenland ice alone is calculated at 23 metres rise ...globally.
If ALL the land glaciation melts including antartctica into the sea the level will be what ?
150 to 200m ?!... expect various knock on effects
losing so much coastal land...most the world's urbanisations flooded a lot of the most productive
and deepest top soils.
After all the weight of the ice gone volcanic activity will increase especially earthquakes and tsunamis
terrifying the few survivors once again.
The land masses will likely keep up lifting for thousands of years.
As today's ice free land keeps on up and up this long term isostatic rebound from when the last ice age ended causing a 430ft sea level rise around the globe.
Possibly erasing much archaeology of previous civilisations if you ask Graham Handcock and his colleague and friend Russell Carlson (or something similar?poops! )
I'll gargle his name ...he's a very important Geologist..archaeologist.
land whisperer ( my description not his)
philosopher .stone mason astrologist historian builder.mythologist ...freemason.reader of symbology and an all round sciences teacher.
He's your man for reading the landscape for mega flood events.Inflagrations from significant comets and on and on.
off to check his name a check his online courses.
THE END of part one
I woke up today in California and saw you had a new video. It’s been tough here with Covid as I work in the ER and this is such a refreshing watch. Thank you for your reality!
How well he understand their individual behavior is just amazing!
How sweet to see Geena's clan hanging out in the shade together, I love their teddy bear cuteness. That was an interesting noise at 6:33, was it from Nancy or Geena? Woody eating catnip out of Kevin's hand was awesome. Nancy has a love of cameras like Gabby does for tires, haha. Poor Ringo, I bet he'd have liked a treat. I like how Geena twitches her ears when Kevin scratches her neck. 😍🤩💯
This is amazing, we haven’t been able to see Geena’s clan in forever! I hope you all are doing well through this horrible pandemic, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask!

What a fascinating insight into how no two hyaenas are the same. Beautiful, beautiful animals. thanks so much for sharing Kevin
I can still remember maybe 15-20 yrs ago, Kevin fell in love with a beautiful hyena pup named Milo & how devastated he was when Milo was poisoned. Idk why that memory has stayed with me so long & so vividly, but I think it’s just indicative of Kevin’s entire being in relation to these animals that he loves & cares for. I remember Kevin trying to teach Milo how to hunt. I’ll never forget that. Milo was the first hyena that made me interested in them as a whole. He was an ambassador without knowing & for such a short time, but so inspiring. RIP Sweet Milo💗
I'd be curious to see behind the scenes how the animals developed a relationship with staff. Unplanned events perhaps??
Have a fab weekend, cheers from Montreal.
Yes, me too! I always wonder about their relationship with the others.
From what I have learned from watching over the years Kevin is the only one on foot with the animals the rest are in a vehicle or outside of the fence. : ) peace
No, there is one guy who can be round one of the lions because he’s been round him since a cub. I’m sure it was one of the lions. He was on a walk once and Kevin addressed why he could walk with them.
@@Ginge1164 Yes I do remember that now, but I dont' think it's the norm. It would be interesting to see anything that Kevin shows for sure. : ) peace
@@Ginge1164 That was Graeme Patterson. He started working with George and Yame when they arrived at the Sanctuary from Spain, but I don't think he's still working with Kevin. He is on Instagram as @graemepattersonphotography sharing wonderful photographs he's been taking in the wild.
Hyenas before: a lone ape, this should be easy pickings...
Hyenas now: human, pass the catnip
i get it cause hyenas are closer to cats than dogs
@catstastico • they are closer to cats
😆😆🐱✌🌿🌿🌿
More more more of hyena videos. Love seeing you with the clan every time. I love seeing how deeply different each personality is and how they interact with you. Geena is such a sweet heart towards you.
I think hyenas are amazing animals. They have a lot of mystery to them. Thank you so much for making a video about them. Your videos educates everyone. I agree, hyenas are really misunderstood.
It is so exciting to watch your videos! I love learning more about the hyenas. It always makes my day! Thank you very much!
Oh, I love Geena's group! I've actually never seen them before, I've seen Bongo/Keto's group a few times, but never Geena's. Thanks, Kev, for the education u gave me about Hyenas in general. They do get a bad reputation, but they just act and behave according to their insticts. Keep 'em coming!!
Incredibly beautiful animals! It’s always interesting to watch the hierarchy in the pack. Thanks so much for what you doing!
I been watching your videos recently. All though I like the cats I really love them guys the most. There so cool. Watching these videos changed everything I ever thought about them. The TV makes the out to be something different.This is way better then anything on tv
I never expected Hyena’s would have so much personality. Such awkward looking animals but so cool and interesting.
Ooooh, I really love Geena. I hope she gets some extra scratches on my behalf.
Kevin, When Nancy becomes in charge after Geena's passing, will it still be safe for you to enter their area giving that Nancy has trust issues?
Nancy makes me feel really anxious watching this video. I know she's not evil or anything, but don't really feel it's safe to regularly hang around an animal like that.
@@shatter382 He's been around these animals for decades. You should watch more videos from this channel. It's majestically amazing.
I was wondering that, too. I have a feeling that things will change a lot when that day comes.
I think her problem stems from him being a male (albeit of a different species). She can smell the testosterone on him and instinctively considers him to be lesser, but he's not. It will be interesting when Nancy's in charge.
Homer would be so proud to see how much you've grown. I always think of him from time to time and wish we had home around for longer then we did! He was such a wonderful little guy!
I think of Homer a lot when watching the hyenas, reference or seeing them in the back ground. He was an amazing little boy and Kevin and Homer's love and relationship was extraordinary. Saddens me to this day and so many years have passed. I can only imagine Kevin's feelings. ❤️
I love queen Geena! I’ve enjoyed following her reign for years since she was at the lion park.
The explanations are awesome and watching Keving doing this complex dance of doing exactly the right thing in the right moment order to interact with animals that could just bite off a chunk of him is endlessly fascinating. Not to mention the talent, experience and instinct it takes to pick up every single angle and change of vibe in a dynamic situation with highly dangerous animals and react immediately to it, while talking to the camera and being potentially distracted; there are no words for this kind of expertise and cleverness.
I was looking for more information on spotted hyenas! Glad you made the video.
Thanks Anomie! Watch 'Learn About The Spotted Hyenas" for more info! Link below. 🐾

@@LionWhispererTV I did go through your whole playlist of hyenas after this video xD
It`s interesting to see how important an accurate analysis of the nature of each animal individual is to make such close work with wildlife possible.
Hi Kevin , l really think what beautiful faces they have , ! thank you for bring these video to us , regards liz x
They hyenas always make me laugh! They truly are goofballs😊
Always love meeting the animals and see all of their different personalities.
I just found your channel and was thrilled to see this show on Geena and her clan. I have been a fan of hyenas for a long time and really appreciate what you are doing for them. Teaching about their hierarchy and bringing to light what great animals they really are. Thank you Kevin for showing a positive slant on them. Look forward to watching more of your hyena (and other animal) videos.
Great video these animals are such beautiful creatures and very misunderstood hope you and your family are doing well during these uncertain times
❤️ Loved Geena's clan wow she's 19 yrs old still beautiful loved the video thanks kev happy Friday to you all ❤️🇵🇭😘
Thanks Glen!
@@LionWhispererTV welcome kev! 😘
Hyenas have been my favorite animals for a long time now. I love seeing these videos and watching the interaction between you and them. It's always been somewhat of a dream of mine to be able to interact with hyenas like this.
Mr Kevin spoke very well ,the way he articulately express his thought is very flawless in the most natural way. Its very captivating to the audience because it's very peaceful and calming just to listening to him. It also helps with his nice accent.
I think he is the best person to introduce this very obscure animal to the world.But they are very dangerous and only thier ears are cute.
Bless Ringo, always on the sidelines watching the fun ♥️♥️♥️
AHHHHH I love Spotted Hyenas so much, they’re such beautiful creatures!!!
Poor Ringo. Does he never get a treat? Love the hyenas. Geena is beautiful
Lot's of love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤❤❤❤
I really like your language.. The way you treat the animals
Absolutely love Hyenas. Saw them briefly on a trip to South Africa. One of the best times of my life. The world needs more people like you.
I always always hated Hyenas until I started watching Kevin’s videos now I really like them Kevin taught me a lot!
Glad to hear you've changed your mind! 😁
I always thought my name and spelling 'Geena' was pretty uncommon so to hear that I share it with one of these wonderful animals in your care is so great!! Love your content!
Well, there's you, a hyena and Oscar winning actress Geena Davis, so there is at least three of you.
Poor Ringo…..mean old brauds…..Lol.They are truly beautiful beasts.Thank you for the viewing….extremely interesting.
Awesome to see the clan!!! Your an amazing advocate for these animals. Literally changing the stereotype for these creatures. Thank you for the great content. 💪😎
Wow thanks JT! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
So interesting. I love hyenas. They are so misunderstood. Thanks for sharing.
Yes they are! Thanks for watching! 😊
True. They used to scare me , not that I want to run into one but they are misunderstood
I remember the first time that I saw Kevin. Many years ago. He was with Geena and several others. I saw him on National Geographic. I was in awe. I still am.
Is it amazing to see Geena’s clan. I can’t wait to see all of the hyenas
How can one not be a fan of these animals. Have seen cubs in the wild and that has been a real Gift❣️
God I am SOOOOOOO jealous
Omg occasionally saw this on my feed. So happy to know that after all these years Geena is still alive. Oh how I miss old lion brothers hope they are doing fine in heaven
They are very misunderstood animals and glad that people are learning more about these wonderful creatures so that they are not understood! 😃
Yes Abbie! That's what we're trying to change! 💪
No offence but scratching their chins like lapdogs is misleading people as well
@@HkFinn83 I mean Kevin always reminds us how dangerous they really are and he's only able to have such an interaction with them because he's been with them since they were babies and he treats them with care and respect. Those who do not get the message and try to replicate what he's doing are the ignorant ones.
@@HkFinn83 Its not misleading, if you get misled by that, youre just stupid and theres nothing that anyone can do about that.
@@Likexner calm down tough guy. Kevin has admitted as much himself and doesn’t do as much petting in the newer videos.
Kevin, I must say you have a special feel for the animals around you. You sense what they are doing in the way they move and sound. I'm very impressed by that. I want to wish you and all the people around you total safety and care. What your doing is not for the timid. Many blessings to you and yours. Stay well.
Beautiful friendships between human and animal ever....💖
19:29 OMFG... look at that tail moving in happiness!
It's fascinating how no matter the order of dominance in their clan they accept you and know you as a different entity and are fine with it
So what does it mean for you when Nancy takes over? Will she let you come around still? She seems not to be trusted. Do you have an idea or is it a wait and see situation?
I was looking to see if someone had posted this question. I am curious how the clan would change.
You looked like me a couple of years ago preparing little goodies for our boys for pre-school. Same containers by the way!😅Sending a huge hug for Vayetse, my Surfer Boy❣️🥰🦁🐾 We enjoyed to see Geena, Woody, Nancy and Ringo, after quite a while. We really fell in love with them❣️So happy you changed our view of hyenas that was mainly formed by Disney! It’s great to see the different characters with their particular behavior and favorite goodies. We’re hoping that the things will progress smoothly in the clan with Geena coming into age. Also interesting to observe Nancy’s behavior and reaction to you. Never a dull moment when watching your videos. We always finish a little bit wiser.☺️🥰 (We need a hyena icon here...) By the way, our cats also eat Catnip! We grow it at several spots in our garden. It helps to digest I learned apart from the relaxing. Never disturb a cat high on catnip! We learned it the hard way...😅 Love you all❣️Stay safe and best wishes from the whole family❣️😘
