- Kevin has spent over two decades working with lions. Understanding that each lion has a different character is essential when building the strong bonds that allow Kevin to care for these animals to the best of his ability. In this video we look back at some of the unique characters Kevin has worked with over the last few years.

Kevin never shows these lions any agression or mistreatment and he takes very good care of them. He maintains the bonds and relationships with all his animals.
The man has treated all the lions from cub to adulthood with respect, understanding, love and a unique sixth sense that has allowed this incredible friendship to be formed.
Did a lion eat him?
@@shellybastion9974 No.
That roar behind the screen is scary I can’t imagine in person. Amazing.
I think the roar is beautiful, it's so impressive. I'd love to hear one in person as I understand it vibrates through your body.
True 🤣😱
I become goosebumps
I'm wondering if you tried to mugg Kevin, would the cats help out?
As someone who's heard it let me assure you, you can feel the base in your chest like a speaker. Even when it's from far away you can hear it and feel it on the ground😅
I will NEVER tire of watching your videos Kevin - even the "compilation"/recap ones. The thought (let alone sight!) of a human establishing himself as a trusted and loved member of several lion prides is beyond astonishing.
(Edit) - LOL, I can't help it: watching these guys and gals do their thing and interact with you, I just think KITTIES!!! (though obviously they're not)
maybe they all consider themselves Kevin's kids/kitties and Kevin is the _all-father_ of every pride. every pride is lead by some more or less Thor character but Kevin commands the respect and love of every pride leader thus making him the supremo. it gets even more awesome if we take into account every single lion knows how fragile Kevin is and that they have to treat him with the utmost care not to break him. they gladly do but then again, they are lions and social cats. even more mesmerising is Kevin's ability to pull that off with leopards too. to get anti-social cats to treat you that way is just mind-blowing
@@embreis2257 Indeed. Which really all boils down to the fact(s) that there's so much more to them than people have given them credit for - and there really *is* a deep level of mutual understanding that is possible. To me it's beyond awe-inspiring.
Well, they are. Housecats aren't exactly 'domesticated', save for some of the inbred breeds. The behaviors and individual personalities are very similar, just smaller. Housecats are also more skittish in general because they are so much smaller and more vulnerable. Lions have the size and strength to be more confident and bold.
I feel the same.
I'm an animal whisperer and yeah I love this dude.
It was bittersweet seeing the old footage of Meg & Amy 😥
Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2023 to Kev, his family, staff and of course all of the lions, hyenas, leopards etc🥰
Your lack of noticable fear and the unwaivering respect you carry has always really impressed me
Never tire of Siam's happy face when he sees and smells that catnip 🖤🖤🖤.
Gives a whole new meaning to "herding cats." Kevin actually can...BIG beautiful cats.
My new year wish is to see you get well soon kev, and GOD bless you with health wealth and happiness forever...My prayers for the Ultimate HERO KEVIN!!🐾
There's so much to learn about these magnificent cats. Thank you for every visit!
I can't stop admiring Lions, they are so majestic,strong,funny,creative,determined and playful at the same time, i love them!!!
16 years of friendship ,trust and patience, and respect, GOD Bless you Kevin and your family and friends lions and all animals included
The relationship between you and your gorgeous furry friends is simply amazing, unique and magical. Thank you for this wonderful and heartwarming video ! I sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas. Enjoy these magical moments with those you love. Little thought of good recovery and take care of yourself Kevin.
Happy Christmas and New Years to Kevin and everyone. Wishing you all the best for 2023 🙏
It's incredible to see how Kevin is able to build, nurture and sustain such high levels of trust and respect one-on-one with ALL of his "babies"! It's stunning to see Thor immediately obey Kevin when asked to turn around. Even my dogs don't always listen to me 🤣🤣.
It is a pure joy to watch you do what you do with these magnificent souls. ❣️
Fills me with so much love.
Thank you Kevin for everything you've done to make this world a better place ❤️🙏🥰
I keep thinking about how your babies must miss you while you’re recuperating. Get well soon.
You the most fortunate man on the planet, being able to hug these gorgeous cats and have a beautiful relationship with them
Thanks for the flashbacks Kevin l really miss you and your fur babies 💗 I hope you are feeling better ❤️😃🦁
What beautiful lions, the mutual love and respect between you and these powerful animals is amazing to see. Peace and love.🙏❤❤❤
They are utterly majestic. I cannot understand the feeling of being that close to them.
Wonderful video Kev, the relationship between you and your kitties (ok Lions lol) is magical..seeing those we miss so much (Miss Amy so much) is such a gift. Thank you..God speed on your recovery and a very Happy Christmas to you all from Cambridge in the UK. 🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧
Just a lovely video Kevin - thank you. I wish you, your family and all at the sanctuary, a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
These lions are so majestic yet mysterious.
I Would Literally Have Way Too Much Fun Being Friends With The Lion King Characters
8:43 That looked frightening. What happened between them? That roar, wow. So much power in that roar. I got humble just listening to that roar
Calms me down to watch you with the lions. Although all is chaotic, they always remain the same and it brings me peace.
I absolutely love their big toe beans!!!! And their big roars, never get tired of hearing that beautiful sound!!!
Kevin, May U and your family and the care takers have A Vary Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .
I’m not lyin’, I LOVE those Lions!
💕💕
I always watch twice because I was told you get more credit if we let the ads play out when I'm too busy to watch then I go back & just skip through them. Hope that helps. Have been watching you guys for years from Texas, USA. You are a one of a kind.
Kevin,
I am always amazed by how your lions treat you and how you love them and they know it 🙂
At times they are like dogs, especially when they jump on you, lick you, and like cats when they rub up against you...
( I xan imagine being "tackled" by a cat that outweighs you by a couple of hundred pounds ! 😄🙂 )
Kevin before its after x mas I want to wish you and your wife and kids a Very Merry Christmas. Please extend this to your staff and all the Lions. Especially My gal Meg. It has been my pleasure to donate a Cup of Coffee to your foundation for the care of the Lions. And anything else you use it for to educate children about animal conservation which I love. Im going on 3 years donating. I hope other people who watch your channel will donate and become a member. Its so worth it. I saw Antartica where my favorite breed of penguins live. I don't know how they stand the sub zero temps and that wind is a killer. I lived the video you made showing us beautiful landscaped. I appreciate you so much. Have a wonderful New Year. Lets pray we do not loose any Lions in 2023. 🙏🏻 ❤ 🦁 🎄 🥂
Hope you are getting better. Love watching the recaps. Seeing Amy, you and Meg is always magical. Wishing you and your family at home and the Sanctuary a Merry, Happy Christmas, or Hanukkah. Or anything else they may celebrate. Can't wait until you are better and making new videos. But I am enjoying going back and watching all the older videos.
Thor looks so cool that light color to him. Beautiful cat. It's amazing how these big cats are like kittens around Kevin. It must feel amazing doing this job.
Kevin your affinity for these majestic creatures is admirable. You are a brave man. Watching these lions connecting with you is unbelievable, I never thought a person could interact with these beautiful animals on a level that you do. Really awesome to watch and their raw power is truly something to view. Thank you for your research, love, and care for these wild beasts. 🦁
I love all the videos with all the precious creatures. I cried when I saw the part with Amy. I know Meg and Amy were the first two lions Kevin raised, and he always had a very close bond with them. God bless you and all the precious creatures in your care! 😍 😍 😍❤❤❤
They are so beautiful Kevin, every single one of them, the lions, the leopards, the hyenas have stolen my heart.
Thank you for sharing these animals with us.
here's hoping we'll get a follow-up on the _magnificent eight_ - the cheetahs, one day
Kevin you are best dad and a peace maker for them, they need you.
I absolutely love this throwback video❤❤It is wonderful to see Gandolf that I did not get to see in other videos. And as always, I loved seeing Amy again❤. Thank you for sending this out for Christmas, it warms heart to see your loving lions with you on their enrichment walks. I envision myself walking along with you and the Lions. That’s how good your videos are. Merry Christmas to you Kevin, your family of humans and family of lions, lionesses, hyena, and the leopards🌸💕
as usual Kevin.. such majestic beauty.... and your relationships with them blow me away... love your vids
He raised them since birth. Animals respect him cause he’s family
Hi Kevin! I hope you get better day after day. Thank you to stay ith us with your videos. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
This is so beautiful! To have that trust between yourself and the lions but be the ultimate. No one needs to be rich in money. This is the richness I would love in my life. You are a wonderful man Kevin. Respect! 👏♥️♥️♥️🦁
This is paradise!
Love this video. Siam the catnip king doesn’t look his age. He is beautiful. Thor and Charlie are amazing white lions and I remember Gandolph from way back when he didn’t want Kevin lying on him.
Feel better Kevin. Every week that goes by is a week closer to recovery. So, keep up your love for the Lord and He will lift your spirits. Let your family spoil you while you recover. Praying for you, Kev. 😍🦁🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Well said. I too have asked God to heal him and protect him. He is an amazing man and the precious animals of our planet need him. Pray you’ve had a blessed Christmas. ✝️🦁
Love the lions, just love them :) Seeing Meg with Amy really touched my heart. George and Yame, love them to bits, Bobcat and Gabby - wonderful, majestic and funny & loving. Siam and his girlies, just want to be close to them hugging. Gandalf is a beautiful lion, so beautiful. Thor`s group is also fantastic, with a bit more distance to you Kevin i feel, but still georgous cats.
And of course the rest of them, Vayetsy and Ginny, rest in peace wonderful Livy.
Kevin we live you and your amazing animals. It never gets tiring of seeing you accompany them. Get well, we need to see you back.
Loved the recap and it's always a joy to see clips of Meg & Amy together. Wishing you all at the sanctuary - both human and feline - a happy and healthy holiday season ❤
Kevin I never get tired of your videos even when they are reruns. Hope you're doing well and hope your recovery is going fast. See you next week. 👍👍👍🙋♂️
They behave so amazing..cute nd dangerous at same time ..
Kevin! Your videos of your beautiful Cats always make my day! I envy you(in a positive way) and the life you share with these majestic cats and all the great things you've done as a wildlife conservationist,also bringing all your educational expertise and bringing the people together from all over the world to learn so much about these wonderful, beautiful Lions! I thank you from my heart. I wish you and your family and staff a very MERRY🎄CHRISTMAS,and a blessed,healthy, wonderful New Year! God bless you,always.hugs❤❤❤❤❤🥰
Very well said. Thank you. I so admire Kevin for the patience and dedication he’s put into protecting these precious animals. God bless him always. 🦁✝️
I just love hearing the sounds of lions roaring on Friday, really any day for that matter! Thanks for sharing your life and allowing us to be a part of these special bonds you have with these lions! Gabby is the most entertaining lion by far but I love them all! Thanks Kev and Much Love!
You're a lucky man to have so much lion love, Kev!
Merry Christmas Kevin and thanks soooo much for all your wonderful videos. Cheers from Toronto.🇨🇦
Kevin: It's a pleasure to see the Lions @ Lioness again, Have a very Happy New Year. 🙏
It's interesting that they know Kev is not a lion but they accept him anyway. The bond they share is pure beauty.
Man you deserve so much respect for what you do with these animals, I don’t know if you are just a patient hard working man or you are blessed by god’s love but you definitely have a gift of bonding with these cats. Loverly to watch you interact with them, something that only a very few if any can do. So lucky. God bless you for all what you do and may you long continue with such a gift.
Awww....thank you for this BEAUTIFUL video of all your wonderful lions there (past & present). Happy holidays to you ALL🌲💞
Fun to recap on good times💕👍
It's awesome how animals recognize us not by sight, but by scent.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the gang at Lion Whisperer! Hope you are healing well Kevin.
Healing? What happened? Happy Chrissie to you Lane Goodspeed
@@fifisuki1876He tore his Achilles’ tendon trying to open a stuck hangar door. He had surgery and it was successful.
Enjoy watching the love and care you have for the beautyful Lions en lionesses. Respect for you Kevin and God bless you🙏🙏
This guy as well as Dean schneider 🙏🏽 so much respect for the work they've put in with lions and being part of pride
Bobcat is so amazing…affectionate, gorgeous, and you know he would always be in charge. He’s stunning. Great videos. I admit getting teary seeing Meg with Amy. What sisters. What lionesses. Merry Christmas ALL.
I'm reminded of that video when you used Gandolf to lead the "wild" ladies (RIP Cussassa) to their new enclosure with direct exposure to you. I remember really appreciating how HUGE Gandolf was comparing his height to surpass the enclosure door!
Just started watching this today..
I've been a follower.. a true fan..

God's beautiful creatures..

Kevin, this was a beautiful video. Broke my heart to see Amy. The love and respect you have for these lions is so touching. You are such a blessed man. I can imagine being so close to Thor’s group when they were roaring must be incredible. I’m in the US and I swear I could feel the floor beneath me tremble. I pray you are healing nicely. I look forward to a reunion video with your animals. Merry Christmas to you, your family, staff, and of course all your precious fur babies. Wish I could hug and kiss each one of them. 😘🥰 Much love and respect from Tennessee USA.

Love this look back on all the lions and hope as soon as you are out and about that you will give us an update, especially on Meg! Seems like it has been a very long time since we saw anything on how she and Icarus are doing!?! Maybe I missed something??? Hope all is well and you are feeling better! Blessings and a very Happy New Year to you and all the creatures you love. Thank you for sharing with us!

Kevin embodies a pinnacle of human achievement. He's the "Jane Goodall" of lions. This channel

Puma Messi and Luna the panthera must know about this other miracle...!
