How are the LION LOVERS? | The Lion Whisperer

[@rachelschwebach7566]

I have chronic pain and some days are difficult. I get out my tablet and watch you and all the lions, leopards and hyenas. It’s like magic because it really does help with the pain. Because of you I have fallen in love with the animals and Africa. Thanks Kevin.😊

[@michellemiller4749]

Absolutely thrilled that Marvelous Meg, my favorite, and Icarus are together!!! 😊❤

[@michellemiller4749]

I'm so happy for Meg, she must really miss Amy and now she's bonding with Icarus!!!! How wonderful for them both. Great pairing! ❤

[@SJane3]

I absolutely adore how Meg greets you every single time! It likely didn't take you long to drop Icarus off at his new area, and Meg greeted you as if she hadn't just seen you! Your relationship with her is the best! What's not to love about a Meg greeting? She's just the sweetest!!

[@janew5752]

Icarus is such a beautiful lion. He and Meg make a wonderful couple.

[@crimsongamer2337]

No matter her relationship, with Icarus, Kevin will always be Meg's number 1. 😂

[@lillyess385]

I also suspect she hates the the hyenas, not due to natural instinct or revving up Icarus, but she suspects that Kev is also Gina's number 1. 😉

[@ShaunakHub]

Always!

Always. Meg loves her Kev. I am so glad Meg and Icarus have become a pride so they don’t live alone.

[@dianesaienni5466]

So happy Meg is still with us. It will be the saddest when she goes. Again thank you Kevin for your sanctuary and great care of those God placed in your hands. God bless you.

[@lynne0410]

Gosh Kevin I guess many people don't know what you went through before you had the Sanctuary. They don't know about the tears you shed when you had nowhere to go. They will think you were just handed a plate with the land but some of us oldies remember those days. We are so happy that you have been able to realise a dream. So so glad that you are where you are now ❤ ♥ 💖 💗 💕

I know, right? I'm still a bit sad about Meg's loss of her Amy. But she lived a blessed life, as do all of these wonderful creatures. And we're lucky too, to have the privilege of peering into their intimate relationships through Kevin's work.

[@deathbycheese850]

It was one of the spookiest things I have ever seen or heard.

[@drewhoffman1461]

The editing on this video was fantastic. The way the camera kept switching seamlessly between Kev and Meg made this video a joy to watch.

[@alisonleigh100]

Meggy just made me LOL with her pawing at the meat in the truck 😂 ❤

Just like a house cat 😂

@@jerilyncibulka6162 When I'm trying to get my cat to come out from under something (such as the bed) I'll put treats out. He does the same thing. He'll reach his paw out and try to pull the treats under the bed with him. lol So cute.

[@guyfanno1]

That music in the background was perfect for it.

[@illusionisms]

Meg is such a beautiful lion. She carries herself with confidence. I miss seeing you sitting under a tree with meg & amy. Those were the days! It is nice to see she has found friendship with Icky! Wonder why she is so stubborn about loading first. Guess a female is a female! 😉🥰

[@66tarheelfan]

Thank you Kevin for sharing them with us! They make me very happy and so do you! ♥️

[@MadamFoogie]

4:42 Icarus chomping his jaw, expecting Kevin to toss a hunk of meat was very, very cute. Hungry big boi~ Reminds me of when I'm faking out my housecat to burn off her excess energy, softballing treats for her to catch out of the air. So funny, how similar, yet dissimilar these beautiful animals are.

[@erstwhile6163]

5:39 - my ABSOLUTE favourite part of this gorgeous video. That ENORMOUS paw gingerly reaching for the meat, the look on Meg’s face, and the score selected for this scene couldn’t be more perfect ( trying to remember off the top of my head what this piece of music is ). Your videos always bring a smile to my face and make the day even better. Big thank you to Kevin and the team.

[@dianaadams1875]

The lions having a GOOD life always makes me happy! And I love seeing you go everywhere there animals that I'll never get to see in person. Thank you for dedicating your life to these wonderful beings.

[@earlyriser4033]

You said it all. The lions are helping many people everyday and you and your staff are helping the lions. Your videos and the lions are always a bright spot to the day.

[@LionWhispererTV]

Early Riser - this is so great to hear, thanks so much

[@SumathiSunil-ul2xm]

​@@LionWhispererTV😢😢😊uuyyuy

[@deemariedubois4916]

I admit I miss Meg taking you out Kevin. Lol. With of course sweet Amy right behind her. Icarus never disappoints when he sees the hyenas. Love watching Meg walk from the Go Pro view. Kevin never doubt that you have given these lions the best of lives. They couldn’t go into the wild through no fault of theirs or yours but your sanctuary has been a blessing for them. When you see their ages you realize in the wild it’s doubtful any of them would still be alive. They have been well fed, well exercised, well stimulated, and safe with you and your amazing staff. May God continue to bless you all.

[@bettyboop1577]

The social matching of Meg and Icarus is absolutely a tippy top moment of the channel in all my years watching. The positive influence and connection it has provided for both cats (& Kev!) is truly remarkable. 💜💙

[@jenniferedwards4874]

I will always love these lions 🦁 ❤️. Meg has held a special piece of my heart and I love seeing her happy with Icarus.

[@LarisaBayaMomo]

Same here 😊

[@deathbycheese850]

That's exactly what I have said in the past. My heart broke for Kev and Meg when Amy died. I couldn't watch anything about Meg or Amy without crying, for a good year afterwards. The video Kev made, telling us of Amy's diagnosis, and all the lions chiming into Meg's roars, always makes the hair on my neck stand up. It was utterly beautiful and destroying at he same time.

[@donnamealy4877]

Yay! Meg-cam is back. Thank you for the update on Meg and Icarus. Glad to hear about the head butting. Love these two cats so much. 🎉💖

[@LionWhispererTV]

Donna Mealy - thank you for the support !

[@tracicahill7612]

That part was hilarious!! And the music he played in that part was fitting! 😂😂😂

[@mimzyc9949]

An ask Meg video was the first video I ever saw of this channel so she is probably my favorite. I felt so bad when Amy passed. I’m glad Meg and Icarus are getting along better. Hopefully it will keep them young and we can watch them for many more years

[@carlyh6913]

Icarus always cracks me up with those snapping turtle jaws

[@OhEmilyRosa]

I agree that these lions help with depression. I find myself watching hours of animal vids and these lions are at the top.

[@Garian9]

I actually cheered out loud when you said they've given each other head bumps. Please get footage of that if you can! Icarus scored big going in the cage first instead of Meg...got all of the pieces meant for her. It's amazing that she jumped into the cage first once you unloaded Icarus. It means that she was aware of future events in the sense that she didn't want to ride with Icarus because of his aggression towards hyenas being dangerous for herself in an enclosed space. These animals are incredible. I could sit and watch them all day.

[@qwanyin6423]

I need a head bump from Meg's pov 🎉

[@rolfwenigmann717]

Meg is maybe the most beloved lioness of all and rightly so. Her contact calls warm my heart, what a lovely creature.

[@novalong]

Kevin, your furry sweethearts are not little and old, hah. They are wonderful, full of life, amazing personalities, humans in fur coats. I'm soo proud to be a member and getting to know ALL of your furry sweethearts. I am soo happy Meg and Icarus are such a success, they have each other for wonderful company and you & your team for amazing unconditional love and care!! And I'm always thankful that you share them with us. Love from Alaska🥰💓💖❤

[@synastry2013]

Your comment about watching your Lions as a form of therapy for those who are suffering, could not be more true for me. While my nine-year-old daughter was in treatment for leukaemia, your videos got me through, as well as other lion videos showing the struggles of a lioness trying to protect her cubs.

[@happylala33]

Will never get enough of Meggie. She's the queen, and I'm so grateful every time we get to see the incredible relationship you've developed with her. I think she teaches us all ❤

Gorgeous and capricious Meg! When her bushman is by her side, nothing exists for her, but the majestic Icarus, crowned with his splendid golden hallo and his magnificent black mane, knows how to be patient. They're getting closer and closer and that's fantastic. You've sweat blood and water to give the most comfortable life possible to all your furry friends and that is to your credit. You can be proud of your journey. they helped you grow as you have them grow. Happy that you can walk better and better. The shots from the drone are absolutely fabulous. Thank you for this wondeful video. Above all, stay who you are, don’t change anything. Take care of yourself !❤️🦁🦁❤️

[@CantoraMask]

Yes if we humans can see how strong the bond is with Meg, imagine how overwhelming it would be for Icarus! I personally think the shared loss you had with both of them plays a huge role in the trust

[@CathyKeating]

Thanks so much for explaining what you decided in order to decrease your role in the obvious triangle between Icarus, Meg and you. Makes perfect sense. I am sure Icarus felt threatened, and I'm sure as well that your decreased appearances in their enclosure allowed him the chance to make his case with her. It's great to know that head rubs have happened and that she now accepts him. He is a beautiful cat and he deserves to have a partner like Meg. Great work, Kevin!

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery Meg and Amy, thank you for leading us to a treasure of stories that need to be told and heard. (Amy, you have crossed the “Rainbow Bridge”, but your spirit lives on…”) Like your sister, you are a gem, Meg!!! You show that there is an immeasurable value in every living being, including seniors!!! Kevin, undoubtedly, you and your family (hairy and furry ones) are a living story. Thank you very much for speaking eloquently and sharing your gift, your wisdom to make a difference in this world one lion at a time, and for roaring loud enough for the rest of the world to hear. Thank you to all the members of the K.R. Sanctuary and the veterinary team for making history. This question is for Meg: Have you thought about using your colossal paws to pick up a pen and write a children’s storybook? Perhaps Icarus would be willing to pick up some crayons and be your artist. Maybe Kevin could be your editor.
