    Just a heads up for everyone this is an old video. The reason why he moved and started his own sanctuary is because he found out that the park he was previously at was raising lions to be trophy hunted. He managed to rescue and move them successfully into his sanctuary where they reside today. Kevin has a youtube channel called “The lion whisperer” where you can see them.

    I love how worried he gets about just moving them all. And how he gets so happy and relieved that they don’t have to be tranqed. And he brings awareness to a lion being old or a hyena experiencing some dominance issues with the others. He really has taken as much care as he possibly can to take care of these beautiful animals. I love the education being given as a lion is casually biting his leg. He treats them with respect and he admires them.

Being social animals it was good for them but it took a year of getting them used to each other through a fence before they actually started being let into the same enclosures. It is documented on his Lionwhisperersa channel on You tube.

    Kevin Richardson, you're very gifted. I've seen the worst outcomes, but with what I've seen in Go Wild, I've seen the best. I smiled when one of the lions passed by you from behind. You chuckled as you said: Don't turn your back on a lion. In that moment, I did sense love. You're not a stranger to her. You, at her worst moments, took very good care of not only her, but all of them. When they fight, you're there to patch them up. If they're sick, you make them better. You give them all food and drink. Yes, they're wild. We all know that. Evidently, they chose you. For how long? I don't know! I just hope they'll keep associating you with being the one who'll be there for them. They catch hell out there by themselves! I've seen enough documentaries to see what they go through. If they don't make that choice to trust one of us as I've just seen, then yes someone could become seriously injured or hurt! I saw that very thing before I watched this channel. A journalist went in the cage with a handler. The lion eventually attacked him. Not too bad but from what I saw, the lion communicated: 'That guy doesn't belong in here and if he doesn't get the message I'll eat him if not now, if he returns or anyone like him.' For whatever reason it was, the big cat became very agitated. Sure, they need preservation but it's up to us to know how! For all our sake. May you always be known for all the good, especially to these fragile creatures even though they're very strong, it's difficult to make it on ones own! They come from the harshest environments! I've seen how they live sometime. It can be pretty tough!

      Meg and Amy are probably the biggest lionesses i've ever seen, easily. They're both around 400 pounds, as big as some males.

    Apollo's condition here makes you want so much to just pet her and soothe her which would be the absolute wrong thing to do for her recovery. Thanks to this phenomenal woman who is feeding her, who knows exactly what she is doing for bears' welfare.

    I now know how big the lions compare to a person. Wow!
