+Sheryl Schroeder Yes Sheryl, he sure is a hero. Oh my goodness do I envy him. As a lover of cats big and small, I consider him to be one of the luckiest men alive. BTW, I have a severe cat allergy but I have good meds. I'd take a whole bottle full so that I could just pet those big cats under the chin like Kevin does. I also am fascinated by the Hyena.

Another idiot posting this crap , go to Africa and play with wild predators, see how you'll like it . This guy in the video is stupid , risking his life , those animals can just go crazy and tear him apart anytime.
Bad-ass: Chilling and playing up close with Lions in the African Savanna. Not Bad-ass: Killing a lion from several hundred meters away and then posing for a photo with the carcass.
But you need to understand that it is a sport and if the lion had a gun then he would kill your goldfish when you are at work so please understand that these bastards need to be put down.
I really thought that it was obvious with the fish remark but your right, next time i am sarcastic i will attach a link to a site containing all the information one would need to decipher the sarcasm i lay before you my Unknown Prince. Never again will I let my ignorance and pride hinder me from presenting myself in a matter that will please even the most humble of minds, for in this day and age, a man is only worth what he can present and the manner that that man chooses to present it in.

Go to Kevin Richardson Foundation Lion Whisperer channel. Lots of amazing videos. You can become a member for the cost of a cup of coffee per month and get all sorts of exclusive videos.
Dear Kevin, I am your fan from the Czech Republic and cannot thank you enough for everything you do for animals, for us, for this planet...I truly wish your films are broadcast everywhere to everyone, esp.our children to be able to make right, sensible and driven-by-love decisions in their future, that´s what really matters... THANK YOU immensely from the bottom of my heart. Tenny
Video of the Day! GoPro HERO3+ Adventure Series Episode Five: Lions - The New Endangered Species? Warning: Do not attempt what you see in this video unless the final item on your bucket list is, "Get eaten by lions."
+thewilliamjrful Yes!! everything he is doing and sharing is all out of love, whether others want to see this or not...It takes a rare human being like this man to do what he does...Inspirational and well respected..
you can almost make out a smile on the lion's faces when they make contact. So fortunate to be able to interact with mother nature in that manner. BEAUTIFUL!
I don't know why but I just started crying at 2:07. It's so beautiful see how two totally different species that are great dangers to each other, can also be the complete opposite.
i've followed his channel from the very first video and have watched this specific gopro video dozens of times over the years, and i still think this is GoPro's best feature ever. the perfect music, perfect shots and timing, even the snippets of the guys behind the camera show how differently the animals react to them versus Kevin. and their interview's great too, really clear that they went in-depth on questions Kevin actually found interesting and relevant. brilliant work done! this will always be among my top inspirational UA-cam videos
GoPro this is the Most brilliant clip you have put together. This is nothing short of magical. Not only have the gopros caught this in the most stunning way, but you bring to the forefront the trouble our wildlife is in because of habitat loss. Thank you for this clip.
I don’t know why I teared up watching this. It’s just so beautiful to see how you are able to interact with them knowing how much you TRULY care for them and their happiness and well being!
hankookshave smallgochus :) Yeah. And if I may be so bold as to be sarcastic and cynical to a total stranger: Hey! What do dose' lyons this dis is!? They want prime real estate, eh? They wannit? They buy it like everyone else! Heh, I love this Bizzaro world we live in.
I would like to thank everyone who has shown solidarity. I knew I couldn't be alone, and every plus of solidarity has brought a moment of happiness into my life. Since any solution to this problem will require that which makes the world go around, and since so few of us have it anymore, perhaps we should focus on developing and presenting a plea to those who do have money. My clear and present understanding over the last few years has been this: if it makes a buck, it will happen, like it or not, up to destroying our "nest". If it doesn't make a buck, it will never, ever happen, no matter how much we need it, right up to saving the world itself. It won't happen unless it's profitable to do so. This is what we have done to ourselves. And to the innocent creatures that had no voice in the game. This game is rigged. How is it not everyone has had enough? So many still root for it. Think our system gives everyone a fair chance. Perhaps, if you are human, white, male, and from a wealthy family to start with. These magnificent cats are none of the above.
jones marks I hear ya. I mean, just look at the thumbnail for the video. It says it all. I guess we have to leave it to the Africans and just focus on the wildlife we have where we live. They are all disappearing. The first mass extinction caused by human activity. And it is as bad as any in the past. Or soon will be, at the current rate of die-offs.
Thank you GoPro for making possible all the images that Kevin shares with his subscribers. It is a privilege to watch him interact with these majestic creatures and if it were not for your products, we would have never seen it. Bravo to Kevin and bravo to GoPro!
I'm so jealous of Kevin. It's interesting to see the love these big beastly killas have for him. I've always been impressed at how affectionate lions are with their pride mates, then to see them be like that with a human is an even more awesome sight to behold. Lucky bastard Kevin.
Kevin is such an amazing guy. He's practically doing what Steve Irwin always wanted to do: buy land for animals so they can be safe. He's doing so much for lions and conservation it's incredible.
+Dominique Haupt Don't hope. DO. BE. Don't hope someone else is going to help their "plight". If we want to help their "plight", as we call it; we, ourselves, must do something about it. Don't talk about it unless your going to be involved.
I entirely agree with your sentiment, but I don’t think it’s hugging lions that makes him a real man, I think that his passion and desire to defend animals and conserve wildlife it what makes him a real man (man/woman/person). We should maybe all do whatever’s possible to preserve wildlife
Man: Had a privilege of playing with one of the most dangerous species on earth. Lion: Had a privilege of playing with the most dangerous species on earth, there are about 7 billion of them in existence.
@@kieranbotting2764A century in contrast, population of lions have decreased drastically mostly in the tropics while man's population has tripled. Who is the predator now?
It was a very sad time with losing Amy. It was so fast. Lions don't let on that they are sick. So when we notice it, they are already far along in their illness. It was like...what do you mean Meggie with no Amy???
How the heck isn't he more famous like Steve Irwin? He should be invited to major talk shows. He is even more impressive than Steve imo because the lions really love him and consider him as family. That is amazing.
He is finally having some success. He should have a TV show, his channel should be Discovery Channel haha he had a few episodes like 10 years ago but he should be a world star
Water Colours Becuase Steve Irwin worked with killing machines that could crush a human skull with a single bite and that grew up to 20 feet long and weighed up to a ton and outlived the dinosaurs over 65 million years ago, and have been known to kill lions, that's why.
I CRIED THREE TIMES WATCHING THIS.. THREE 1) THE LIONS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL YET ENDANGERED 2) I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH LIONS 3) I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO AFRICA! :(
+Deri C Pls dont go and wander out in a national park on your own if you dont want big risk attached to that, there is a big difference between these lions and this man and completely wild lions. Doing what he does is not something one can just do. Howver do visit Africa its amazing. :)
go to a chanel called jon watson he goes to a volunteering park with all this kind of stuff he expalins it very well and thers a link to the park webpage. and he has great videos. :D
yea that is almost impossible saying it took him 15+ years to earn his spot. and remember he didn't use internet or phones so throw all your shit away and live off the stuff that isn't electricity.
Animals are animals, keep your distance The most knowledgable animal lovers have been killed by animals, we need to learn from our past otherwise we could be the next meal The world is much safer without animals some people included lol ....
10:52 that's exactly the same with my dog and other people! They look at him, scream and run, he chases and becomes very alert. If you ignore him, he looses interest or calms down.
OH MY GOD!!! this might just been the most beautiful thing that happened on Earth...!!! Seriously deep from my heart this is the most beautiful thing ever with human history...imagine how great how wonderful is it to be with all those wild animals and not to do anything just sitting down there, enjoying and listening the voice of the nature...how great is that...
"anything pretty much", name something us humans haven't killed? It's a sad world we live in, if I'm honest. So much hate towards our own species, yet animals always find something in some of us that they admire, trust and love unconditionally, like a dog :).... or in this case, a Lion.
The moment when the male lion hugged you was beautiful, just that moment is worth spending an entire lifetime with these animals❤️ So incredibly beautiful.
i cried because it's too beautiful, i couldn't content all these feelings doe, the relationship that they have, the way he handles those lions. you can feel a strong bond between them.
"I lie down there next to them and I just think, 'you're just so beautiful. What would I do to make you better? I can't.'" That part really gets me :')
what this guy does is awfully dangerous and risk laden venture but so is mountain climbing, i suppose; but, what he is doing is raising awareness about these wonderful creatures of nature; i wish him well and hope he remains safe; a breathtaking video;
I never get bored of watching these videos over and over again, and for all the people who are thinking about joining do it I promise you will never be disappointed, infact it will just amaze you
Well, there is one lion park in the world, in Russia, it has more then 80 lions, there you can go and get very close to the lions and they don't kill you :D it recives hundreds of tourists everyday, they may even hug if you are lucky enough :D and you don't need to kill for it, it is only 60$ or something like that so go ahead ua-cam.com/video/JYb19ox9sLQ/v-deo.html :D
@@mohamedwaititi6192 Tigers don't do that and almost all felines don't do that, lions are the only exception because they live in social hierarchy like us humans, greetings other members of the pride is part of being lion.
Guys, go support Kevin at LionWhispererTV youtube channel. It helps pay for their food, vet bills, maintenance, etc. He needs a lot of donations to keep it running
clanking, cronk, clash and blang at 8:40. Camera team moving in on the hyenas with a portable cage while Kevin just laying there having a cosy time :) That made me smile.
Absolutely stunning. I certainly never got this close to lions when I toured South Africa, this footage is brilliant made more so by Kevin Richardson's passion for lions. Invest 15 minutes of your life to watch this video, shot entirely on a GoPro.
I got to hold and play with lion cubs at Lion Park just outside of Pretoria no adults. Even the cubs were at the point where people weren't going to be allowed in after a couple more weeks.
I feel like the day that the Lion goes extinct, the human race has truly ruined this planet. Imagine a world without lions. Imaging having to explain to your kids or grandchildren one day what a lion once was and where the saying “courage of a lion” comes from. I feel like the lion is the most sacred animal on this planet when it comes to legend and spirituality. Once it goes, so will the rest of the animal kingdom. Like many have said: “out with the king, long live the King”.
World Eater It’s estimated that in the next 100 years, all our beloved animals will go extinct. Polar bears, rhinos, elephants, lions, tigers and pandas, and hundreds more
This is one of the most sickest, retarded and low comment i have ever stumbled across. Lions arent special at all, period, there are many other animals better than lions.
I watched a white lion Charlie movie today. During the movie, Charlie made me laugh and cry. In the caption after the movie, I heard that you were teaching with a lion. I learned your love and affection for animals through UA-cam. I wish there were more people like you in the world. I am doing a small job of caring for street cats in a small country in Korea, but I hope everyone in the world will not abuse animals. I'm rooting for you!
@@LoneWolf-me1 I know!!!! I simply named Gabby, Gabby, GABBY!!!! Ginny by mistake and boy I've gotten many people pointing that out to me!!! I've seen all these lions and lionesses for years and I'm a member!!! I've followed Kev for a very long time and I just made a mistake! I think I'll go delete my comment bcs I'm sick of having to redeem myself. Anyway thanks for pointing out my error, I guess!!!😩
Love watching these videos, it's amazing to see wild animals up close and personal like this, it's so amazing when these animals are treated and loved like pets, without any force and just by being kind and loving, the way the lion whisperer plays and the lions run to him is so beautiful to watch.
Im so jealous of Kevin :( . My cat does that to me too, the lovey dovey cuddlings...but when I see this, it makes me feel that I also want to have cat of THAT SIZE to hug and cuddle me :(!!
this is like heaven, paradise, walking with those beautiful creatures and loving them, its like a dream
Yeah man u say it. It seems so natural and beautiful
Yeah this is what heaven must be like, playing with every other creatures without any fear
I was crying imagining that
Careful the ambush in the bush ;;;

2:05 is just absolutely breathtaking, this is without a doubt the best pro conservation video i've ever seen
My eyes were wet
@prometheus I took a screenshot of that hug. Bobcat's closed eyes, arms around Kevin, is the best ever.
I believe that's BobCat. A huge black mane male. With his mate Ginny.
Looked so damn majestic

This has me in tears because this is just such a beautiful thing to see
How the heck isn't he more famous like Steve Irwin? He should be invited to major talk shows. He is even more impressive than Steve imo because the lions really love him and consider him as family. That is amazing.
He is finally having some success. He should have a TV show, his channel should be Discovery Channel haha he had a few episodes like 10 years ago but he should be a world star
Water Colours He's AWESOME but there's no reason to put down Steve Irwin because of it.. sheesh xD
Water Colours Becuase Steve Irwin worked with killing machines that could crush a human skull with a single bite and that grew up to 20 feet long and weighed up to a ton and outlived the dinosaurs over 65 million years ago, and have been known to kill lions, that's why.
Jack Leo jJjjjAjaa omg that's definitely true
Id say 36 million views is a little famous right?
"you want us to stay in the car?" .. "obviously" lmao
Ronald Quan 😂😂😂😂 my favorite part
Kevin is so sassy oh my god :D I love him
What time
Such a stupid question
Your bond with em is amazing I'm jealous
Probably the best gopro video of them all.
I hope it and Kevin won all the awards.
❤🎉
I CRIED THREE TIMES WATCHING THIS.. THREE
1) THE LIONS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL YET ENDANGERED
2) I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH LIONS
3) I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO AFRICA! :(
***** I may have to go even more now Gray sweetie. Can i stay with you?
+Deri C Same.
Deri c am with you to
+Deri C You and I are in the same boat it seems.
+Deri C Pls dont go and wander out in a national park on your own if you dont want big risk attached to that, there is a big difference between these lions and this man and completely wild lions. Doing what he does is not something one can just do. Howver do visit Africa its amazing. :)
you can tell they love him
What gave it away? Them not ripping his face apart?
Dude, I would not know if it wasn't for you saying this, I think you might be a lion whisperer.
oh you guys...... you got me....heh heh
such a weird transition that humans went from fighting these for survival to neck scratches and hugs
for fur****
its my dream to do this some day like i get so emotional just seeing how close of a relationship he has with those lions its truly amazing
Me too :')
go to a chanel called jon watson he goes to a volunteering park with all this kind of stuff he expalins it very well and thers a link to the park webpage.
and he has great videos.
:D
yea that is almost impossible saying it took him 15+ years to earn his spot. and remember he didn't use internet or phones so throw all your shit away and live off the stuff that isn't electricity.
Give him a call.
Animals are animals, keep your distance
The most knowledgable animal lovers have been killed by animals, we need to learn from our past otherwise we could be the next meal
The world is much safer without animals some people included lol ....
10:52 that's exactly the same with my dog and other people!
They look at him, scream and run, he chases and becomes very alert. If you ignore him, he looses interest or calms down.
First video with millions of views without ads. Wow.
the whole video is a gopro ad...
GoPro is the ad bro😅
@@frdsmu Indeed
I forgot ad existence years ago with Adblocker, this comment is funny to me.
@@APDN24 maybe the meaning is adsense..
“ I lie down next to them and just think you’re so beautiful... what would I do to make you better? I can’t” tears 😭
OH MY GOD!!! this might just been the most beautiful thing that happened on Earth...!!! Seriously deep from my heart this is the most beautiful thing ever with human history...imagine how great how wonderful is it to be with all those wild animals and not to do anything just sitting down there, enjoying and listening the voice of the nature...how great is that...
Back again here today, just wanna say Rest in Peace dear Amy... we all missed you.
انت توك فاكر
@köyün muhtarı Amy is one of the lions in the video, she passed away from leukemia.
@@ElusiveLion741 yuppp😭😭
@@ElusiveLion741 animals too get cancer?
@@anandreddy23 yes animals can get cancer. Humans are also a type of animal so of course other animals can get it.
I want to apologise about the things I did in Far Cry 3 :(
Lol xD
Farcry 2...
Far cry 4
Far cry 5
Me too
amazing how tame that human was.. and how brave of the lions to just cuddle with the most dangerous animal on the planet :O lolololol
Actually so much truth behind this comment
I know right. They're known for killing anything pretty much.. Very brave lions
the most dangerous animal on the planet is the human,
"anything pretty much", name something us humans haven't killed? It's a sad world we live in, if I'm honest. So much hate towards our own species, yet animals always find something in some of us that they admire, trust and love unconditionally, like a dog :).... or in this case, a Lion.
JoeyandLindsay You do realize I was referring to our own species right?
This man is the real king of the jungle xD
Tarzan
Fadi_ RD lmao
Is the sayayin ssj
yesss
Seriously!
This is incredible.There is something so pure and real in this.
The moment when the male lion hugged you was beautiful, just that moment is worth spending an entire lifetime with these animals❤️ So incredibly beautiful.
Oh, i nearly started to cry! That was amazing!
Samuel Eskilander thats so bitchy but i wont hate on you you have a point for crying 😂
Freak Freerun lol why would you cry
I cried, this is so beautiful ♥
I see but this is not a sad video it's awesome ☺
i cried because it's too beautiful, i couldn't content all these feelings doe, the relationship that they have, the way he handles those lions. you can feel a strong bond between them.
I know I sort of tear up a little bit
"I lie down there next to them and I just think, 'you're just so beautiful. What would I do to make you better? I can't.'"
That part really gets me :')
6 years later and It’s still my fav video on this planet! ❤️
2013 video recommended in 2019 !!! But WORTHY
what this guy does is awfully dangerous and risk laden venture but so is mountain climbing, i suppose; but, what he is doing is raising awareness about these wonderful creatures of nature; i wish him well and hope he remains safe; a breathtaking video;
He worked with them for a long time.
everyday when one gets in a car to drive, it is putting ones life at risk. I would rather be with lions than some drivers I encounter.
He raised the lions after the mother abandoned them.
***** 4tggvj1h1kqqqkkkklaa0
They're just like a oversized cats. So cute
SpectreAmazing but they can kill you if they want... but still, awesome video
They don't want to! Only if they are threatened! You have to build bonds.
North Productions if they are hungry you are death
SemiH PB No that's like saying if a lions hungry he eats his pride.
That's because they are basicaly oversized cats.
I never get bored of watching these videos over and over again, and for all the people who are thinking about joining do it I promise you will never be disappointed, infact it will just amaze you
I would kill to be able to have this relationship with a lion
So, it's why you don't have any relationship with anyone...
u certainly would. they wouldn't let u in the pride unless u helped out in the hunting xd
Well, there is one lion park in the world, in Russia, it has more then 80 lions, there you can go and get very close to the lions and they don't kill you :D it recives hundreds of tourists everyday, they may even hug if you are lucky enough :D and you don't need to kill for it, it is only 60$ or something like that so go ahead
ua-cam.com/video/JYb19ox9sLQ/v-deo.html :D
My sister wants this relationship with her cat but he aint having it, he hates everyone xd we are just his servants, even the dog is scared of him
But would you die for it?
He: Here comes the lion
Lions: Here comes the massager
😁
😂😂🤣
Try to be a massager for lion and you'll know
I like that lions know how to hug. It’s the sweetest thing. 🥺
Yeah don’t forget when hunger kicks in ur easy meal 😂😂😂
@@mohamedwaititi6192 Tigers don't do that and almost all felines don't do that, lions are the only exception because they live in social hierarchy like us humans, greetings other members of the pride is part of being lion.
Lions are the only social felines, all other felines no matter what size are solitary or prefer solitude strictly.
I cant describe how awesome this is
Guys, go support Kevin at LionWhispererTV youtube channel. It helps pay for their food, vet bills, maintenance, etc. He needs a lot of donations to keep it running
It's funny how the two guys are in the cage and Kevin is just chilin with the Hyenas :)
They aren't familiar to the animals like he is.. That's it
As in the animals don't know their motives if they are dangerous or friends
I wish I was you because lions are the best
*kevin comes
lioness : thats my husband
lion : thats my wife
Kevin comes, lioness and lion, "That's our saviour."
No feminism
That's our husbando.
That's my waifu.
Yes
lion son: thats my grandma
clanking, cronk, clash and blang at 8:40. Camera team moving in on the hyenas with a portable cage while Kevin just laying there having a cosy time :) That made me smile.
Okay in general he is a Tarzan.
Blue ee African version.
Lol
Ryan Reynolds version
Shut up
@@canadienseguapo8090 it was just a joke, seriously man? Haha
Absolutely stunning. I certainly never got this close to lions when I toured South Africa, this footage is brilliant made more so by Kevin Richardson's passion for lions. Invest 15 minutes of your life to watch this video, shot entirely on a GoPro.
I used to take care of two Siberian Tigers and was able to pet, rub up against and pet the older one, but never anything like this! Amazing!
I got to hold and play with lion cubs at Lion Park just outside of Pretoria no adults. Even the cubs were at the point where people weren't going to be allowed in after a couple more weeks.
I was in AWE watching this. Ive never seen them so... cat like. Playful and caring. Awesome
I feel like the day that the Lion goes extinct, the human race has truly ruined this planet. Imagine a world without lions. Imaging having to explain to your kids or grandchildren one day what a lion once was and where the saying “courage of a lion” comes from. I feel like the lion is the most sacred animal on this planet when it comes to legend and spirituality. Once it goes, so will the rest of the animal kingdom. Like many have said: “out with the king, long live the King”.
World Eater It’s estimated that in the next 100 years, all our beloved animals will go extinct. Polar bears, rhinos, elephants, lions, tigers and pandas, and hundreds more
This is one of the most sickest, retarded and low comment i have ever stumbled across. Lions arent special at all, period, there are many other animals better than lions.
paul cooper your comment really makes me wish UA-cam had a dislike button
Paul Cooper isn’t special at all. There are many other people better than Paul Cooper.
paul cooper there are many people better than Paul Cooper stfu
I watched a white lion Charlie movie today. During the movie, Charlie made me laugh and cry. In the caption after the movie, I heard that you were teaching with a lion. I learned your love and affection for animals through UA-cam. I wish there were more people like you in the world. I am doing a small job of caring for street cats in a small country in Korea, but I hope everyone in the world will not abuse animals. I'm rooting for you!
Imagine raising them from birth and seeing them grow and never forget you❤️
2:05 BEAUTIFUL SHOT! .... I cried ; ;

i think brohugs are as manly as it can get; i also french-kissed some male friends in front of their girlfriends... no hjobs thou!
2:06 this touched my heart 🦁❤🤗
Finally someone noticed it
If you watch the claws on the male lion, he never once brings them out so he doesn't accidentally scratch him.
That is a HUGE black mane male named BobCat with his lioness Ginny.
@@yvonaamariaa It's Bobcat and Gabby. Ginny is different lioness who stay with her sister Livy and lion call Vayetsi
@@LoneWolf-me1 I know!!!! I simply named Gabby, Gabby, GABBY!!!! Ginny by mistake and boy I've gotten many people pointing that out to me!!! I've seen all these lions and lionesses for years and I'm a member!!! I've followed Kev for a very long time and I just made a mistake! I think I'll go delete my comment bcs I'm sick of having to redeem myself. Anyway thanks for pointing out my error, I guess!!!😩
Love watching these videos, it's amazing to see wild animals up close and personal like this, it's so amazing when these animals are treated and loved like pets, without any force and just by being kind and loving, the way the lion whisperer plays and the lions run to him is so beautiful to watch.
Im so jealous of Kevin :( . My cat does that to me too, the lovey dovey cuddlings...but when I see this, it makes me feel that I also want to have cat of THAT SIZE to hug and cuddle me :(!!
