![АЛАУДИНОВ у Скабеевой: эти их ВСУ нас НЕ ДОГОНЯТ 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/an0anqU4WGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I remember watching him and he said something along the lines of "even if something went wrong and I got killed by these animals, if I had a chance to come back, I would do it all over again."
He knows what he is doing is dangerous. But he is doing what he loves.
You're right, he did say that in several of his interviews and documentaries. He said "I love these animals and they love me, I know I will never get enough of spending time with them, and if one day I get bitten or attacked and killed by one of them, so be it. But if I had the chance to go back and do it it all over again I will."
+Al H. thank you:]
Yup
+Kate Hettinger Timothy Treadwell said the same thing....I have to wonder though, if he could go back would he get his face eaten, and his girlfriend killed all over again?
+John Phillips I don't remember him saying that. but we will never know if he regrets anything will we? and he isn't saying he would go back and be killed again. but he would take the chance all over again.
"What do you get out of it?" what a stupid question..he plays with fuckin lions and hyenas
It's called a stupid question.
+Joshua Sanchez that's what he said
Thunder Dragon 23 Yes, I know
its for the fun
My god this is AMAZING.
This guy is playing with freakin' Hyenas meanwhile I can't even pet my cat without it hissing at me.
Let it smell ya
I mean, at the end of the day they are fking dogs
Lucksy Kan Hyenas aren’t dogs. They are genetically closer to house cats than dogs.
You should see his lions and their love for him :)
@steve k. idiot, you shouldn't own a dog at all. And this animals have more freedom than many animals in captivity in his habitats.
Them Hyenas be like:
This tall naked hyena is really good at scratching the hard fo reach places. He cool.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
actually the reality
Lol
Ho hell naw 💀
They are much bigger then I expected seeing them together with a human. Beautiful animals
@Ante D u
A hyena is bigger than a wolf in general.
@Ante D But no matter how many they are, they seldom try to challenge a healthy male lion, because some of them will get seriously injured first. I thought average weight is about 50~80kg

I think what people should take from this is not that Hyenas are not dangerous, but that they aren't monsters. They're animals with feelings and relationships just like us.
I love Hyenas, but what do u mean that they're not dangerous!!?? A Hyena can rip a human limb from limb without ANY problem. And the worst part of it , unlike a Lion it will eat you alive!!
I think you should reread my comment. xD
***** I agree
Keyshell there not us doe their scavengers
Keyshell OH WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP WITH YOUR ANIMAL LOVER MENTALITY THEY ARE WILD ANIMALS ! I REAPEAT THEY ARE WILD ANIMALS ! NOT HUMANS !
Hyenas are one of the most powerful land predators in the world, and extremely dangerous in most circumstances, but what people do forget is that these are pack animals and they are social animals, much more like wolves than say, a bear or a leopard. They remember individuals and can form lasting relationships through experience. Yes, what he’s doing is still incredibly risky, but it’s very obvious he has worked with this pack for a very long time and they recognize and are familiar with him. They don’t associate him as prey and if he’s careful they won’t ever associate him as a threat.
The video declaring them a scavenger really doesn't do them justice as an apex predator. The Lion King got them sorely wrong. Hyenas will attack weakened animals, but so does literally every other predator, it's a free meal. Hyenas have a higher success rate in hunting than Lions do.
Hyenas also seem to create a weird bond with their chosen human that appears even stronger than with other Hyenas. But it's a dangerous one, they will attack anybody who gets close to their human, which makes them unviable as an average pet even as much as their affection and loyalty may seem admirable.
@@infini_ryu9461 "they will attack anybody who gets close to their human"
So did my mother's miniature schnauzer.
The wolf comparison is accurate. They're both wild animals who can never truly be tamed, but they're also smart enough that they can figure things out for themselves without engaging in any dangerous trial and error periods. Both in terms of Kevin himself, and of any other humans that might be around him (they wouldn't have been able to get this kind of footage if the hyenas hadn't figured out they can just ignore the camera crew).
Their social structure also allows pack individuals to rise up the hierarchy without violence but by actually being nice and making friends with higher members. Its fascinating how they have multiple ways to climb rank and bond. I'd much rather be stuck around hyena that aren't being aggressive to me then lions because making friends with hyena they're not going to kill you if you fall over and look vulnerable they'll just see that as submissive or think you got hurt because they are actually super smart.
@chakatBombshell with hyenas they don't rise up there social structure, the only way to rise up is if someone ahead of them dies, so it's more an age tracker than anything.
I like how he said that he's not the "hyena whisperer". He knows what they're capable of, and he has no delusions of grandeur about himself.
He's also not the "hyena whisperer" because he's already the "lion whisperer" :'D
Watching these videos about humans giving hyenas belly rubs, play with lions and swim with polar bears and I can't even make my dog stop shitting in my bed 😔

Hyena: have one of the deadliest bite and probably hazardous saliva.
Human: *pat pat*
what is with their saliva?
@@anthonyman8008 They eat anything and everything. This includes desecrated or rotting corpses. They can do this because they have a very potent digestive system, giving them a stomach made of lead basically, and an immune system that fights off tons of nasty parasites. However all of what they eat turns into bacteria into their mouth. They very much are feline in nature the same way cats can infect you with a bite.
Fine, i guess french kissing the hyena is out of the question.
@@norabatungbacal6636 nahh it’s cool 😎
For some reason Hyenas saliva is not hazardous, I’m not a scientist but I looked it up and it’s the African Leopard that has the most infectious bite and then Lions.
They could crunch through his forearm bone like a wafer stick. This man is crazy. Lol
I was hopping they laughed the way hyenas laugh in the lion king lmao

Well the hyena laugh is a distress call
+Shush Ackles If they did the guy would be dead
+Jaime Holguin why you say that?
Beto El Guero When they laugh, they're ready to attack.
Never realized they were that big
Neema ciraa I'm getting u pregnant for Christmas
Yes "females have big dicks". Female hyenas have pseudo penises and theirs is larger than the male hyenas'.
I thought the same thing. They’re huge.
Neema ciraa frl me neither
They eat you in no time. :-)
I don't care what people say. I think hyenas are adorable.
Their big, teacup ears are so cute!!
and their darkened faces almost look German Shepherd-like.
true
Have you ever treated any hyena ? But German shepherd's face is more familiar
they are my favorite animals, they are soo interesting and complicated...and they are also adorable
@@Nocturne50 त्र
@Andreas mathiassen That's the animal kingdom. Kill or be killed; take what you can. Doesn't lessen or degrade them as animals AFAIC, because they're just being pragmatic.
This is completely dangerous. What were those hyenas thinking playing around with that *MAN?*
He's been around that particular group in that enclosure for several years.
@@rotyler2177 hyenas is the one should be careful
they are sometimes bored
🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
@@user-ym3po9gu4e obviously 🙄 he has enough experience to not have to be careful..
Fun fact: Spotted Hyenas have the most powerful jaws of all mammals.
I was thinking of that fact the whole video. Especially when he had his hand in the one's mouth. LOL
uhhm nah fam did you forget about the hippo
carnivorous mammals yes
Anothr fun fact is that female Spotted Hyenas are the dominant sex in their species.
They over power the males and have more testisterone.
Actually a hippopotamus does!
If Scar came by and tried to get them to kill Mufasa, Kevin would be like "fuck off!"
Lions fight for dominance, and kill each others children, and hyena kill lion cubs, and lions kill baby hyena. Thats just how competing predators act. I doubt he would interfere.
Lollipopfop I have a pet tiger who raised me since I was born so I'm pretty a child to her and she is like a caring mother to me I don't know what I would do without her in my life she has always loved me for who I am and I love her for who she is
best comment so far XD
Would he though? Considering Mufasa put all the Hyenas in a friggin ghetto, I think he would actually embrace Scars Idea of overthrowing him.
toddsmitts 💀💀💀
Jesus they are large. I´ve never realized that hyenas are that big.
A hyena is bigger than an all grown wolf.
You shouldn't use blasphemy
Wild Animals are big.
I would like to riding them, I’m just 33 kg after all, they can carry me easily
@@waffleawt6570
Depends.
The largest wolf ever found weighted 80kg (176lbs) and its length was 2 metres and height 81 centimetres.
The largest hyena ever found weighted 64kg (134lbs) and its length was 1.7 metres and height 92 centimetres.
It must be so difficult for him to walk..
With those *BALLS* *OF* *STEEL*
Sorry but i cant locate the funny
@@fendy5124 never played Duke Nukem i take it?
you should see him with the lions.
😭😂😂😂
LOL
I find this video so funny cause when she's talking, she talks about them like they're super dangerous and then they show him holding them in the weirdest and the calmest way possible 😂😂😂
Their super dangerous!
Dann Duman
You think it's funny that they are not feeding her to hyenas? She isn't part of the pack.
Well, they are super dangerous...
They have strongest jaws stronger than lion tiger crocodiles actually all mammals so yeah they could make ur bones into sand and drink so their super dangerous
I really enjoyed how this interview was set up. They’re both there, live, on location, she’s asking the questions directly to his face and he’s answering and at the same time demonstrating his craft in a calm, casual manner.
I love how even as he's playing with them he's adamant that it's the result of a years long bond and not something he could magically do with any hyena. He's so attuned to their individual temperaments yet at the same time acknowledges that they're animals with animal impulses.
I love what Kevin Richardson and his Foundation are doing for lions and hyenas. The movie, Lion King wasn't fair to hyenas, they hunt and keep 70% of their kills, they are amazing parents and have personalities like any other animal or person. I'm proud to be a member of his channel, helping his mission. 🥰🐾
Let's hope he is not eaten alive one day Hyenas unpredictable😢
either his height is short or those hyenas are just huge!
damn! didn't thought they were this big lol.
Twice the size of a full grown wolf and with jaws that could split your femur like an old dry branch.
Thrower Flores
It's funny you say that because hyenas look so small on the TV usually. Most of the time I see them they are running from a lion...no wonder they look small! They are actually huge and have twice the bite for of an English Mastiff! They are certainly no small animal.
I never noticed how big they were either. This really shocked me.
Thrower Flores ah
I love him and his animals. he and his animals have a close and inseparable relationship
your right!
;v; I want to travel and become friends with a large predator.
Bobob it's not at all a white way of thinking. It's a human way of thinking. Black people, Asian people, native American people, African people. They've all had pets. We all have pets. It's got nothing to do with being white.
Kevin is amazing I hope he lives long and stays safe even tho he is doing something really dangerous
Him playing with some of the most dangerous and strategic hunting animals in the world
Me: They are so cute!!!
Their Cute UNTIL The Bite U...
Lets be honest here, hyenas get a bad rep because of The Lion King.
They must hate the movie
I'd say so too
+i've been bathed No, they get a bad rep because they're pretty mean spirited predators and if you don't spend 14 years working with them like this guy did, they'll just bite your face off.
+NewFormofSilence So pretty much like other predators or most wild animals out there? Pretty sure if you don't spend 14 years with a herbivorous, "harmless", non-predatory animal who are not interested in human meat like say a zebra, and you get close to its comfort zone, you would be kicked on the face with more than 400 pound of force. I'm not defending hyena but as brilliant as LION KING was, you can't deny they depict hyena as a brutal scavengers as opposed to its main protagonist, the lovingly, heartbreaking, warm-ful lions.
They when kill are the most cruel animal. That's why have bad concept of them.

*hyena walks up to cage*
Hyena: What is that thing you are holding?
A bit of that and a bit of "Who are you?" going on there. Wondering if they were going to give him anything.
"Why, hello camera!"
"Why, hello camera!"
idk why i read this with floky's voice from the vikings xD

Nope they look werid
@@mohammedmussa2074 so do I but at least they have a cute laugh.. mine laugh sounds like I'm having an asthma attack hehehe
Not until they bit eyour face off
"Once you build that trust, you can really..."
*Hyena attacks him*
He's got to have a huge set of balls to be doing something like that!
I've watched videos of this guy and he's able to go into the places where the hyenas and lions, he works with and they accept him as one of them. But he's got some really big stones to be able to do the stuff he does
I'm putting his balls next to diamond theirs parts in some videos where he's actually hitting them for play fighting to hard and one where he upper cuts a lion and you can hear the lions jaws clamping together (this was a accident he has 3 lions on him and trying to get up but still the lion didn't know that)
Why do you guys say "He has a huge set of balls" When balls in reality are sensitive and weak.. If you want to be really tough, grow a vagina! Now those can take a pounding.
+Binturong Therian -_-' Alrighty! I'm leaving the internet!
Hahaha!
Thank you, Kevin Richardson, for doing what you can to help bring awareness that Hyena are not just scavengers and "monsters," but instead are complex and beautiful wild creatures that should be treated with respect, wisdom and care, as should all the Animal Kin of the/our Planet Earth. Bless your good heart and all your good work.
I paralize when I meet a cow or even a rooster. My boy Kevin casually plays with an entire hyena clan and takes his lions for a walk... When God was distributing courage, Kevin must have taken my share.
he definitely took the lion share
It's not hard to watch this and imagine the kind of processes early humans went through to domesticate canines
It's amazing how hyenas are closer to the cat family than the dog family.
idiot they are neither of thongs their ancestors are mangoos.... fucking idiot.
Rytis Januškevičius You shouldn't be calling anyone an idiot cause that still means that they are closer to cats than dogs. Never had I said that they are part of the cat family, LOL. You douchebag😂
Actually no, hyenas are 80% dog
+LeThayle Not to burst your bubbles, but where in the world did you get that😂? If hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs how are they 80% dogs. You might have heard that long ago, but they discovered more
They are 100 percent cat. Are you people this uneducated? They act like dogs because they are pack hunters, and have a very similar social structure to wolves and dogs, but they are still of the cat family, you badly taught, public school losers.
good lord those hyenas are big. these hyenas have spectacular bite force compared to their size.
That tells me nothing
1000psi
they're slightly bigger than wolves
Their bite is strong enough to crush bone.
Hyena: Thank you
Nuck chorris similar to a pitbull their small but they pack a punch.
She keeps asking "what do you get out of it" I mean just the bragging rights, "hey imma go play with some hyenas"
I could answer her in three words: research and conservation
I still miss seeing the other cut where it ends with the hyena coming up to the camera putting his head up towards the interviewer and just being all cute in front of her.
Seriously people? She's not an idiot. We are talking about a man who get accepted by a pack of wild animals with enough force to crush bones with a bite.
Also don't diminish the work of Richardson.
He is a zoologist, he specializes in animal behaviour.
And he does what he does not to play with the animals but to study how they act, to better understand the ethology of big feral felines and of big feral canidae.
And she makes the question whoever isn't a zoologist asks to them: what do they gain from studying animals (truth be told is a question made to any scientist that does research in what doesn't seem to have a practical use, as is confirmed by all the critics and questions about big science programs and projects like Rosetta, Juno, the gravitational waves hunt etc etc.. ..), she shows the misconceptions of non scientists.
A good example is the reversal of history: she says that hyenas act like domesticated dogs, while truth is that dogs are domesticated from wild animals, and so it's them that have conserved the behaviour of their ancestors.
Well, of the puppies of their feral ancestors.
3:46 "What ya looking at, huh? I'm watching you"

Oooh, the cuteness when he rubbed his belly!
Im gonna stop killing hyenas in assassins creed now

I'd kill any creature that sounds like a hyena..
curi0 So you would kill me?
Lmao
Kevin's just amazing me again. He puts in 14 years of effort and people think he's nuts when playing with them like that. I admire his passion and even share it to a smaller extent
This is honestly so adorable
They are just downright majestic
Damn i didn't know Hyenas were that big
Me too.
I knew they were big. But I didn't think they were that big.
+Aeon me too, makes you wonder how big lions will be
Full grown lions are twice that size
Lol the female would fuck you up..
I have seen an interview with Kevin in which he tolds that Hyenas broke him his arms 2 or 3 times while "playing"… Only because their jaw is much stronger then the Lions is…But i like these animals somehow… 😉
Rolf S. Than* 😊
A lions jaw bite isn’t that strong compared to how big it is
yea they've been my favorite animal since I was a kid. I always liked how hyenas are the only animal who challenges a lion. & kills them.
Warlord Cleon And kills them? Mabye a female lion, but if you've watched any encounter with a male lion ever, they back down instantly.
Rolf S. Rip his arms
The amazing thing about Kevin is that he acknowledges that he thinks he gets more out of the relationship/interaction than the animals do. From the animals' perspective, I absolutely don't believe that's true, but just the fact that he would think/say that really defines/describes his heart.
Mufasa and Simba's primary antagonist.
Yet, hyenas are still cute yet dangerous in real life.
Never really seen a person that close to a hyena before. I didn't realize they were THAT BIG.
Root Beer I thought heyna just big like a golden dog 😂
Michael Rogers I would say the same size, wolves are massive
Michael Rogers Full grown mail wolves are huge compared to that hyena..
hyenas have bigger heads though, one of the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom
f knight no, the strongest of all mammals.
Interviewer: So, why on Earth would you want to do this when you are aware that it can be dangerous?
Kevin: You must have missed the part where I am PLAYING WITH HYENAS.
That's not really answering her question. Most people would wonder what the fuck he's doing with a wild animal

I don’t blame Kevin, Hyenas would steal my heart too, LITERALLY!!!!!
The way he described taming them with dominance yet lovingly and playfully, that all totally describes how we casually interact with dogs

I do like the using play as a time to assert dominance. it's a really nonviolent way to do that. It works with dogs too.
Alex Bird Human males punch and wrestle eacother almost on a daily basis, for fun of course, but for combat training and dominance assertion. It's almost always physical.
Alex Bird I agree it's in many aspects of life, but physical dominance asserting is present on a daily basis. Younger men push eachother and punch eachother for fun, while at the same time asserting dominance to eachother. Then there's humor, the most important aspect for gaining dominance.

Kevin is a legend. His relationship with the lions, hyenas and leopards shows his imense commitment and dedication of a lifetime to these animals.
No, it shows his complete disrespect for mother nature and thousands of years of predatory instinct.
If it were possible I would have one as a pet. Their pretty cute but I be so scared of a bite. Even if it were during play time

I am not very much convinced about this man's longterm relationships with hyemas. I sense danger like the Grizzly Man who ended up in a bear's belly after 13 years of friendly relationships with bears in Alaska.
This is a true relationship with the hyenas. Not training with treats.
The visual of interviewers and the camera crew behind the fence while he's just in out there make me laugh so much ngl
The lion King made people hate them but not that bad tho they have to eat to live
Garnet gem Not just that. Hyenas are also known to eat their prey alive, simply so that another predator will not come and steal it before they get a chance to kill and eat it. Many people think they are cruel, but just doing what they need to survive.
I always thought those heynas in the lion king were hilarious and deserved their own movie lol

unless they raise them from cub to adults like he did.
probably not many. besides, we can't hide everything for fear that the dumbest 10% is going to try to copy what they see.

The good news is they generally prefer to stay well away from people because they are smart enough to know we are scary and dangerous.
yes their hunting strategy is just amazing
@@Umbreona it's funny because it's the scary truth. Shoot, I prefer to avoid most humans too. People are very dangerous and scary, indeed
I'm still intimidated. Then again, I don't have the patience to learn about them for 14 years. I admire him.

I never hated hyenas. I loved them for a long time.
You know now that I think about it, snakes scare most people, sharks scare most people, bears scare people, hyenas are the thing that scare the most out of me imagine a pack of psychopathic wolves who are the love child of the joker. Nope. Just. Just nope.
hyenas r cute and r basically dogs that laugh while sharks r just evil
Terry Profitt No such thing as an evil animal. Hyenas are dangerous and should not be approached like they're domesticated dogs.

Kevin is a fantastic man. We need so, so many more of his kind!
Most ppl based their "knowledge" of hyenas based on the lion king.
no, i based my knowledge off of the books and internet articles from respect authors and animal experts, rather then some made up movie.
SoundSpark "most"
People base their knowledge over neighborhood hyenas being likely to kill their pets.
