Really interesting how Thor dosent see you as a threat but he does Charlie , shows how intelligent those magnificent animals are, constantly calculating what's goin on , amazing
Kevin got no manes 😢
Kevin, can I suggest you make a video on what are some of the injuries you suffered while handling these majestic cats? I think it will really educate the public on the real risks in keeping these big cats and not all fun.
True!
He has spoken about some experiences in prior videos and I think this is an amazing idea! 💯❤️
I agree. Kevin has a remarkable relationship with these animals but it also looks so fun and easy with no danger and I could see that being very appealing to people who think these animals just look like big, beautiful house cats.
Great idea for a vid!
Definitely had a few talking about his injuries . For instance Thor bit him during a shoot for a movie due to the stress of all the cameras and ppl around . But here we are with Thor still .
Great to see Charlie getting all the love lately from the rest of the pride. I remember when he was a bit grumpy and everyone stayed away lol
Seeing the spectrum of coats, manes, and shades of these beautiful and majestic animals is such a joy! Thanks KR and Team! 🦁👑
I used to see lions like they were all the same. Hundreds of documentaries, videos, etc later it’s much easier to see them as individuals. Just like with humans
Never a dull moment with Thors group. Learnt so much from this video.
😄Of course there isn't! Thanks Lynn.
Yay White Lions ! I love seeing the interactions when the females are going through false estrus. Very interesting ! And it's true, when you see wild white lions (and non white) compared to Thor and Charlie!?!?!?....night and day! You can tell so clearly how well you Kevin takes care of all the animals there at the sanctuary!!!! You are amazing !!! Thank you for another great video! God bless you guys and be safe! 🦁❤️🦁❤️🦁❤️🦁❤️🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🦁🦁🦁🦁
I'll never be able to enjoy the privilege of walking with these beautiful cats, but these videos are the next best thing. Thank you!
I just love this group so much. Thor certainly didn't want to share his girls, must be frustrating for them as well?.
Loading them is almost like going on a roadtrip with a bunch of young kids full of energy, non of them can agree on who gets to sit where and there's always at least one who's grumpy.
Are we there yet ?
@@biggslighter1950 why did the females keep expressing their interest in Charlie then?
😮 Wow, the difference in manes between Casper, Thor, and Charlie is incredible! Loved this video and seeing the behavioral dynamics playing out.
The amount of karma points you have racked up is amazing. The lives you have saved, the amount of education you have given and the sacrifices you have made speaks volumes about your moral compass. You are a role model and someone I admire. Thank you for everything you have done, are doing and will continue doing. 🤗
There is a deep instictive way which a lion whisper already knows the risks. It's why he is keeping them in their own environment. Also, we the viewer, are able to witness the effects of our wildlife, and the decreasing effects happening, and fast. And in the last place wildlife rules, still... It's an honor, and hard work - bringing it home to view, up close and personal which heightens the awareness. Thank you Kevin for doing what you do. 😇💫🙏
these interactions are so interesting! and the way they communicate so efficiently is fascinating to watch, thank you for the video!
Glad that came across! 🙏
Very curious that you are freely walking with them carrying their treats in a pouch on you, they know you give them treats, know where they come from, could easily help themselves to your stash byt they don't.. ..why? ..true they may be well fed n not that hungry, but they seem pretty keen when its doled out, does this take some training around power dynamics and boundary settings..? Or..?
I've seen a hundred of your clips and still never stop being amazed at the skills you have and relationships with these beautiful cats. I didn't think this was even possible and admire your work so much. I'm going to donate again.
Thanks Kev. Really enjoyed seeing the dynamics between Thor & Charlie!!. 🙂👍🇮🇪
Wow wow wow!!! The boys look even bigger, more mature, fuller manes than the last time we had a video of their pride. ❤️ Great seeing this group again!!
Thor's the main man, but Charlie's the mane man.
Nice 😏
Love these magnificent cats 😍 great video as always. Thank Sir Kevin and Team ❤🐾
Wow! Seeing the difference between your cats and the equivalent aged cats in the wild was a big shock to me. It really shows what pristine condition your cats are in. On the flip side, how hard life must be. Literally fighting to survive and the moment you display a weakness. You done.
Kevin, thanks for taking us on a walk with this awesome pride! 💖
Quite possibly the most educational show about cats and hyenas. Great job Kevin. I’ve been binge watching your work for the past 5-hours and still going and look forward to more.
It really is fantastic. Very informative and the views? My good god those big cats are majestic.
So amazing to see the change in demeanour from Charlie since his headaches were treated! So cool
Love seeing Thor's group! And Charlie that handsome devil stole my heart too 😂❤️
Thank you for such an educational video. I appreciate you explaining why the girls are still going through estrus cycles; I thought it would stop after their surgeries, so was surprised to learn that if they still had an uterus, they'd still experience estrus. I loved seeing the dynamics between Charlie and Thor. I especially loved how much the girls were loving on Charlie! A year ago they gave him a wide berth because he was so grumpy. It's amazing how much difference a year makes!
Thank you for this interesting video. Tor's behavior was something to see. I am impressed to see how Charlie is calm now. No aggressive reaction from him. They are a very amazing pride to watch. ❤🦁
Love those white lions!!! Not sure how rare they are but it’s good to know they’re in a safe place in your sanctuary !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thor and Charlie are simply stunning ....absolutely beautiful boys.
The best classroom! Thank you for taking us along. (No doubt excellent camera skills happening to make this possible.) Don’t let Thor get too pushy with gentler Charlie…🦁♥️
LOL feels like Kevin will stay out of that one 😉 😘
Goooood morning Lion Whisperer! I see we have another fabulous Friday video. I thought The Thor clan were brothers and sisters all this time. Such beautiful lions 🦁 and love their hair!!!! Thor, leave Charlie alone and just have fun. 😂🥰🥰🥰
The white lions are simply stunning!! I absolutely adore them!!!
Watching you interact with this magnificent pride is simply magical. I love this. Thor and Charlie are simply gorgeous and the girls are no exception. The drone shots are amazing. The comparison made between your two majestic proteges and the two superb wild white lions is very interesting. I repeatedly asked myself the question when watching videos about him, why Casper's mane was not as developed as that of his brothers. I have the answer. Thank you for this brilliant and very informative video as always.😃
It was about time to see the beautiful and magestic white lions, I'm sure that all love to seeing them be happy, playful and healthy. Thank you Kevin for the video and and keep safe all!
They are so magnificent, I just love them❤❤
It was very interesting to see the behaviour you were talking about being displayed so clearly by Thor and Charlie. Thank you for yet another fantastic video 🖤
Gorgeous Manes❣️❣️❣️🥰🥰🥰🦁🦁🦁. Thank You Kevin❣️❣️❣️
Total respect for you Kevin having your wits about you, herding these big cats! It’s always so busy with this big group. So much to be aware of.
Thank you! Truly amazing ❤️🌟❤️
This was very very interesting to hear and to witness. Their dynamics truly demand a neverending fascination. I love the number of little details you give us, and point out the actions we wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
The mane takes time to grow, and well-cared lions in captivity (as are Charlie and Thor) definitely have more nutrition, more care, less stress and injuries than those in the wild and have so more chances to grow a luxurious mane that is the envy of every shampoo commercial.
But as you say, all cats are magnificent, and the Casper that you have shown in the video is so very beautiful to watch.
Another awesome video 😷👍🦁
It is incredible how even in pretty stressful or somewhat chaotic situations, the lions never have a defensive/aggressive attitude against Richard. In any case that energy is redirected between them though. That is pretty remarkable and speaks volumes about how truly special and unique this man is. GOD SEND as they say !
Against Kevin?
@@LindaC616 Kevin Richardson. My bad, thanks !
@@Andres_1970 🙂 feliz finde!
An interesting video for sure! Great behavioral interactions between the 2 males, and the females in false estrus. The number of theories regarding the male lions mane are fascinating. They all have merit, but I tend to think the idea of showing condition to potential mates is a particularly strong theory. Thank you for such an interesting walk! 🦁💖
It was so cool to see the pride doing what’s natural to them and how they behave! What a good catch w the camera. Loved this video ❤
💯👉You're right about that, those two white lions are absolutely beautiful.
Always a pleasure to watch Thor and Charlies pride on an enrichment walk. Thor may be the dominant but the girls have other ideas and prefer Charlie. It's interesting to watch Thor keep Charlie away from the girls but he doesn't get overly aggressive with him. This was a very interesting video. Thanks for sharing Kevin. 🙂❤️🦁
Beautiful! Glorious!! Majestic!!! Just the top 3 words that come to mind while watching these incredible cats. Thank you, Kevin, for all that you do for them and for sharing them with us!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You really showed that you deeply understand these animals. Wow, what an episode
Beautiful video as usual. The sky was magnificent.
Those boys are beautiful! Love your work. Any time I need a boost in my attitude, I watch your videos all day long!
I salute you sir! We are lucky to have you in this world!
This was such an interesting video!! I love this series. Please please include George and Yame in this!! We haven’t seen them in a long time and I just love Yame’s mane and sweet George’s beautiful face.
Not to mention that George's mane is even more impressive than Yame, maybe because it has got some darker tones
@@leonorgoncalves4367 yes he does have a gorgeous baliage mane. I just love those two so much and they’ve grown into such amazing big boys. Bobcat will always be my favorite but those 2 are a very close second 🥰
Not only did we get some cool info on the manes of white lions, we also got to see some very interesting behavior dynamics! More of this!
their manes looking fabulous
I feel as though Charlie got the short straw when it comes to their names! Thor, a literal god…and Charlie 🦁🦁
I think this "Charlie" was the backup cat for a movie starring a lion named Charlie. 🤷🏽♀️Gorgeous guy either way. 🤍🤍
😂😂😂😂
I would say it's because Thor came from Thor senior, a lion Kevin really loved and died in 2013. And Charlie comes from the movie the lions starred in, Mia and the White Lion, and the lion's name there was Charlie
Mane, no mane, it makes no difference when you look into those beautiful eyes. Magnificent creatures. Thank you for sharing. 🐾
🫶🏼💝thanks Kevin for the closeups of their fur and manes! I felt like I could reach out and touch it -WOW!!!
loved this footage. Amazing content. Great job your doing.
Loved this video!! To see how Thor handles the 'situation' Charlie and the girls. He gave Charlie the look, a push, a slightly raised lip....but not a big fight. I think Thor did just fine and Charlie......he was sublime (and the girls were the naughty ones 😊)
You can see how much this pride loves you ❤ so awesome. They are amazing wild lions.
Their manes are what I like to call feelers. They can feel the wind, changes in temperature and thry help insulate and keep them cool. Thats what I put together from all my studies, its because of you, and a select few others that learning about wildlife has become one of my passions. ❤
Hugs to you all.
They are such gorgeous animals! I'm curious, Kev, would you do another book focusing on the years since the last one?
Yes! I would love that! I was sorry to finish the first one.
That was so much fun. Bobcat is such a wonderful character!
These lions are so like people. From the jealousy to the the thinning, dry manes as they get older. Lol
Thank you Kevin, this is a fantastic video and very informative.
Truly amazing!!! Walking with these cat's,with them comfortable with you and your comfortable them.
All respecting each other's boundaries!!!
I would never have noticed these sort of things unless you pointed it out. So this was really interesting to see how a small pride might act in the wild an why. Thankyou.
I always love seeing Thor’s group ❤️They’re a gorgeous pride 🦁❤️🦁❤️ And I love their dynamics as well!! Thanks Kevin!!
Now, look at them GORGEOUS creatures! I'm definitely intrigued by them beauties.
Great video, I didn’t know what was more spectacular to look at today, Charlie’s mane or the incredible clouds behind Kevin.
Kevin the white lions are simply beautiful, stunning 😍
..the sky and the clouds were breath-taking in this video.
Beautiful!!
It’s great to see them running in the field~💞
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Such beautiful and majestic creatures! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️❤️
That was interesting and informative. Their manes are all so beautiful. Gorgeous Cats!
Kev, I love all your video's! But this one is one of my new favorites now. This behaviour is soooo interesting!! Thanks for sharing it with us 😍🦁
These lions are so majestic and gorgeous.
Besides the obvious incredible content Kevin, you do an absolutely awesome job filming at the same time. Zero shakiness, just awesome Kevin. Love your channel.
Charlie and Thor have the most beautiful eyes. Loved this video. Than you Kev x
Thanks Kev!
Kevin, this was such an interesting video. Your videos are not only entertaining, but informative as well. It was so interesting to see Thor keeping his ladies from Charlie. You mentioned you kept your distance from Thor. Would he actually attack you if you got too close? Thank you for all your dedication and hard work to save these precious fur babies. God bless you my friend. Much love from the USA.
Great video as always! Would love to see a family tree of the various prides. Also a map of the sanctuary showing the layout to get a sense of the size
I love Charlie so happy you found was able to fix what was making him so aggressive and not wanting to interact. He's a new lion and girls do love him.
Wonderful video ! We can clearly see your knowledge and passion !
It still Blows my head off seeing this Man around all those big Beuitifull Lions just unbelievable the relationship he has with them all from Toronto ❤️🇨🇦 Migwech 🙂🦁❤️
Wow what an incredible walk, so interesting, great new facts about Thor's pride, so magic I feel privileged to be part of it. Thanks Kev #Ilovecheetahs 💖😻🐾🐆🙏🦁🦁🦁
Thank you Kevin for another fascinating window into your cat world. I love watching you interact with the beautiful cats....and how wary/smart you are when they are being dominant with each other. 🥰🥰
The size of their paws always amazes me. Beatiful creatures.
Really enjoying the background music when Kevin is loading the lions!
I love how you explain everything, these are things I never knew before about lions
Wow The Sensational Six of Thors group. Charlie's the Mane Man 😊
You are amazing Kevin.
Fascinating information. Great video. Thank you 🙏
So glad charlie is now so nice and not grumpy. Beautiful cat.
Magníficos
The most beautiful looking lions ive ever seen. 🦁
Great video Kevin. Interesting about the manes and the differences between them. I've heard about Casper and seen him once. Thank you for the education Kevin! Ty
One more fantastic video
Congratulations my friend
Great job
You mentioned the white lions of the Birmingham pride. I have watched those lions grow from little cubs to the gorgeous lions they are becoming today. They are breathtaking as are your lions!!!
Great video, Thanks!
Never expected to hear about the Birminghams and the Shish coalition here in this channel! Excited to see your vid with them!
This is so informative and fascinating lion behavior. I learn something everyday. And to top it all off, enjoyable videos, watching beautiful lions. Thank you❤
That was so interesting to see! Thank you for explaining the dynamics of the pride! 🤩
I have to say Charlie has really chilled out! He is much calmer than he used to be.
Really loved this episode ❤️❤️❤️❤️
