    Here is my catch up with the animals at The Sanctuary after a little break. The behaviour is always different, some energised to see me, others can be indifferent. Will be interested in your thoughts with these groups in this video and another to follow next week. Who do you think will be in roaring form ! Thank you for the support and let me know in the comments what you think. Thanks, Kevin !

      So lovely to see how you bond with those male Lions. When you say 'My boy'..they respond so closely and obviously see you as their Carer. I would certainly be invigorated to feel that Roar vibration💯🦁. Gaby was probably searching for Tyres to deflate and so paid you no attention😂. The black Leopards are like young cubs for those pilchards too..Thanks for sharing!⭐👍

      When I went to a big zoo in September 2019, I saw a Lion in person for the first time. It was first lying in grass, then it got up to walk. As it walked, it was Roaring. It was the thrill of a lifetime! I got it on video too. There were not fences at that zoo. Just natural barriers. So when I zoomed in with my camera, it gave me nice close up pictures that looked like it was in the wild.

    Bobcat's Roaring was awesome! I think he was announcing to everyone: "Hey, my best friend is back and I'm so excited!" George and Yame were very affectionate. And it's always enjoyable to see the Black Leopards eat their favorite snack of Pulchards in tomato sauce. Those leopards look so good for 21 years old. Happy New Year to Kevin and everyone at the Sanctuary. May greatest Blessings 🙏 be yours.

That he's able to pet a large, gorgeous animal like this is extraordinary. Instead of a 15-lb house-cat it's a 400-lb lion. And then captures the call-and-answer roaring completely up-close and personal. Magnificent. Remarkable footage. And look at the look on Kevin's face. He still knows he got to witness and feel something extraordinary. It's like: "this is why I do this guys!"

      I’m glad I’m not the only one that cries watching Kevin’s videos. Animals touch my heart and soul and give me so much peace and contentment. I become so emotional at the thought of some animals becoming extinct. We have anti-wildlife extremists in the US trying to eliminate bears and wolves. It’s a sad time for animal lovers.

    Wow! The power and Bass in the roar is incredible. What I’d give to experience that! And what a sweet treat to see my favorite black leopards ever. 21 years! That’s a representation on how happy they are and the top notch care you give these magnificent animals. Another beautiful video, Kevin. Question: are George and Yame considered twins or are they just brothers from the same litter? I’ve always wondered how to tell if a litter has twins or not.

    Felt crap all day (Parkinsons), then I heard Bobcat roar! Kevin, I can't stop grinning now! I know what you mean about the ground trembling - I spent a stunning ten days touring round the Kruger in 1982/3, the sounds at night were awesome. Spent some time at a small lion par just near Jo'berg too. Thanks for all the video clips, they really are superb therapy, and so informative.

    I love seeing the things they share in common with domestic house-cats. That head-bump is so familiar, but quite a different thing at lion scale. Glad to have you back Kev, and glad the batteries are charged up.

    All are splendid animals and very well treated, we can see that when they viewed KR coming to them even after a significant break period.
    Bobcat roars were what I expect of a lion, ...loud, impressive and touching and my soul of cats lover.
    Bless all these cats, the foundation and KR. 👍❤ 🙏

    Years ago I volunteered at an animal sanctuary. I know how amazing it feels when the lions start roaring. Everyone would stop what they were doing and just let the vibrations of the roars fill them up. It was an amazing feeling.

They are so beautiful and powerful. I felt such a thrill when Bobcat was roaring! Wow! What a magical life you are living, accepted by your furry friends as one with them! 💖

    Lions are soooo majestic & just absolutely beautiful! I love, love, LOVE that roar he had. It can make the hair on your skin rise. I used to work near a rehab facility for wild animals & they had a massive lion there. He was HUGE!!! I used to go see him as often as I could just because I was one of the few that was allowed to do so. I loved that big boy. He used to let me scratch him for a lil while. He would let me know when he was done. He definitely was not like those lions you are with there. This poor guy had to live in a caged area & I hated that he had such a small area to live in. I heard that facility moved to a much larger location out of state so I never got to see him again. I never even got to say goodbye to him. He was a big sweetie. I miss him & his roars. Much love to you & what you do. I wish I could work with you & do what you do. I have always worked with animals much better than people. I read animals better than people. Maybe I should have been born an animal. LOL Anyway, much love to you & your work. You are amazing!!! 🐾🥰🐾

    I never get tired of being amazed at this. I don't know how you do it, but I love all animals and yet I'd be very nervous having that interaction like you do. My own cats sometimes turn on me and take a swat if I've petted them too long or they just get in a bad mood. wonderful clips.

    I say, every time a lion roars it ripples around the world as a call to hear! Listen! Life rumbles in their vocals! Thanks Kev for including us in your greeting after a while away. I would have been stingy and wanted to hog that time to myself...lol! The sight of every one of those beauties makes my heart sing! Smiles and blessings...

    Most of us are unable to see live lions, and if we do they are in a zoo behind wired fences. You are so fortunate to be with them side-by-side in nature. That is such a privilege in life.
