Kevin Richardson Encounters LION TURF WARS | The Lion Whisperer

[@LionWhispererTV]

Today's video is a special for Wild Lion Day ! I have decided to run a competition with Good Good Giving and my Foundation with the proceeds going to the EWT Carnivores team to combat snare poaching and poisoning of wildlife in the areas they work in South Africa. Enter via the link - bit.ly/2024Prize. In the meantime many have asked for a Bobcat and Gabby update and one to enjoy. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and thank you for the support ongoing. Now let us celebrate World Lion Day 10th August !

@@lucyallsop88 thank you so much

[@LCLW63]

Just donated & hope you raise not only A LOT of $$$ but more awareness regarding the lions plight & what it truly would mean if they were gone 😥

[@novalong]

I love how Gabby runs off to explore and Bobcat stops to mark the tree, both so excited for their enrichment walk. Awww, Bobcat's so loving, when he pawed at Kevin "rub my belly" ! Wow, what vocals and their getting plenty of exercise. Wow, Neige! Bobcat is looking great and Gabby is looking happy. Kevin, I care so much, it brings me to tears. I became a Pride Member to help and protect lions (and hyenas). How fantastic, that trip looks like a dream come true! 🥰🦁🐾❤💕💯

[@dominiquecote8115]

I am so pleased to see Bobcat happy, cudly, running and roaring! It is a relief for me, I was worried for his future. He is so majestic and beautiful. So loving with you. Congratulations Kevin for your contribution to help lions in the wild. And your implication to the Lions' day.❤️❤️🦁🦁🇨🇦

[@ruthwolfer4154]

absolute agree too

[@shawnanderson8699]

Bobcat is so beautiful

[@lizc4899]

What a glorious day to celebrate World Lion Day! 🎉❤ Love Bobcat's roars! God bless the Kevin Richardson Foundation and families ❤

[@redqueen7325]

My favourite sounds are hearing lions roar. Bobcat showing them who boss and seeing them going do what comes naturally is amazing.

It's something else, never ceases to amaze

Kevin Richardson God Bless you and your family and lion family you are a true HERO

[@jennylawson1980]

World Lion Day = legacy, strength, beauty, power and love. They are such intelligent animals and deserve to be protected in every way shape and form. ❤ Love you Bobcat and Gabby very much. Love those roars and grace ❤

[@rsu5327]

Terrific news about Bobcat! Thank God, he'll be healthy to keep Ms. Gabby company for a long, long time! 🙏🏼💯🇺🇸

[@Karmel8503]

❤ World Lion Day Glory to the beautiful Gabby. Such beautiful sounds of roaring, magnificence. Bobcat ❤His mane! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. God bless you Kevin

[@Debra.Justice]

Kevin, this video brought tears to my eyes. Looking at Bobcat’s beautiful, majestic face and thinking how could anyone harm such a magnificent creature. We are experiencing the same problems in the US with anti wildlife extremists and trophy hunters wanting to eliminate wolves and grizzly bears. These ignorant people don’t realize when an apex predator disappears the ecosystem collapses. It’s a domino effect that will impact humans and make the planet uninhabitable. Also, watching the lions with their disdain for each other, the same species, but accept you as one of their pride. It’s amazing and remarkable. It would be a dream come true to visit the Sanctuary. Even though my health won’t allow me to travel, I still want to donate to help EWC. The work you and your colleagues do to make the world aware of the plight of lions is so commendable. Thank you so much and God bless each of you. God is not happy when his creatures are eliminated from His world. Much love and respect from Tennessee USA. 💕🦁✝️

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

Lots of affection indeed he's in a good mood today Kevin

[@gabriellew6467]

Hearing a lion roar is an extraordinary experience, even in a video. Amazing in real life! Glad Bobcat is better

[@LCLW63]

It's good to see Bobcat running & also loving on you. Shows he's feeling better & what you are doing for him is working. Happy world lion day to all & Bobcat & Gabby are amazing ambassadors for the lions!!!

[@donnapalmeri9573]

BOBCAT Owns my HEART!! I LOVE to HEAR HIM ROAR!! Love,Hugs and Kisses to ALL!! from Long Island,New York,USA.😊😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤🦁🦁🦁🦁🫂

[@Debra.Justice]

I agree. His face just melts my heart. I’d give anything to wrap my arms around his big, beautiful neck and give him kisses. But I don’t think he’d let me get that close. 😉 I’ve got two Bobcat T-shirts, and I always get compliments when I wear them. Hope you have a blessed weekend. Hugs from Tennessee USA. 💕🦁

[@IrieSuzanne-hl9jh]

I totally agree! I HAVE to listen to Bobcat every morning before I go to work, it just puts me in a good mood. I wish I could make his talking my ringtone! Honestly, I consider Lion Whisperer TV to be an emotional palate cleanser in general. I could be having the worst day, and all I have to do is watch almost any of the videos to make me feel better. I had the Miracle Eight playlist on a loop when my father died last year. But even the videos that are sad still help me put life in perspective. I don’t know if that makes sense - I’m not feeling terribly articulate this evening. Greetings to you from CT, btw😃

[@Debra.Justice]

@@IrieSuzanne-hl9jh You make perfect sense. I rewatch Kevin’s videos all the time. They help me so much. They’re like my emotional support animals. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, but it’s all good. Hope you have a blessed day. Hugs from Knoxville TN. 💕🦁

[@IrieSuzanne-hl9jh]

@@Debra.Justice back at ya!!!♥️

[@carriewatson8671]

I feel so lucky to see your channel as you go on walks with your lions, and how you keep us informed about the dangers faced by these magnificent cats! TY Kevin🦁

[@klani1309]

The work done in the wild is so important, I am really happy to have an opportunity to support it! Thank you Kevin!

[@kgdskb]

Whoa~ Bobcat & Gabby~!!! 🦁❤ Happy World Lion Day! 🎉 May your day be as fierce and majestic as a lion’s roar! ❤ Roaar! 🦁✨

[@duanelavely5481]

I'm old & live up in the mountains of Idaho. I look at how magnificent Bobcat is & the challenges ahead for him in his old age. My immediate thought is that I'm so glad that Bobcat will not have to suffer the battle of aging in the wild. Thank you, Kevin, for being Bobcat & all of the animals in your care's friend.

[@josephinethornton3823]

Similar. I have a connective tissue disorder that can often cause spondy issues, a lot of my joints are severely limited as the bone has nearly fused. Imagining a lion out in the world not knowing what's happening and how difficult moving is to be able to get food, ooof that is heartbreaking. But Gabby has doctor's to watch out and food that delivers itself and Kevin to come see him and go for a "Feel better" type walk.

[@kgdskb]

Thank you wholeheartedly, Kevin Richardson! 🙏🏼❤

[@donnamealy4877]

When Bobcat took off running, my first thought was “Kev, you sure you brought Bobcat out?” 😊. He looks good. I can relate to the penguin walk when first starting out. May Bobcat stay young at heart and not suffer pain. ✨💖

[@patriciataggart8067]

Love Bobcat & Gabby ! ! ❤ 🦁🐾🐾

[@trugirl10]

Bobcat is such a beautiful lion. ❤

[@dejaporter7338]

Hes gorgeous, all of them are😊

[@michaelcourtney3888]

Bobcat looks great! He seems a lot more comfortable

[@michellejones716]

I can't imagine being there in person to hear all the roars and grunts between the two groups. It would be a memory you'd never forget. Thanks for sharing with us. That was fantastic.

[@edgarsnake2857]

Glad that the amazing Bobcat is feeling better.

[@angiexenodohiarys9360]

I am sooo happy to see Bobcat doing good, rolling around and running, such a beautiful sight, he is a special cat, he is the real LION KING to me, love you Bobcat stay safe and thank you Kevin for taking good care of him and all the lions💖💖💖

[@Carina_med_Robban]

Loved beautiful Gabby! She would certainly be worth a pile of air-filled car tires. She is an inspiration to enjoy life.

[@jacqui7035]

What stunning lions Bobcat and Gabby are. It breaks my heart that lions are still being slaughtered. Thank the heavens that there are people who are fighting to protect the glorious lions in the wild. I’ve donated. Happy World Lion Day everyone. 17:02

[@ronascott4449]

My favorite duo- Bobcat & Gabby! Thanks for sharing Kevin 😊

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

Well done with your love of lions and conservation of them

[@EllenLewis-bs5le]

World Lion Day is truly special ❤ The animals in Kevin's care (and all animals) are so important to this planet.🦁🦁🦁

[@marthareichhold8201]

I'm so proud to support Kev's foundation and the EWT! Thank you Kev and the EWT for protecting our precious lion numbers....You are a blessing to the lions, us and the world. Happy Lions Day tomorrow, everyone!! And Kev, thank you so much for yet another special walk with Bobcat and the vivacious Gabbs, and for all the tireless work you do!!!❤

[@LittleDreamer-42]

So great to see Bobcat being his old happy self again! 🦁❤️ And of course: Happy Lions Day for tomorrow 😊🐾

[@pitlover4ever77]

Bobcat has my heart! He is definitely one of my favorite lions!! I love me some Gabby too!! I love watching them together! He has beautiful features! Thank you for everything you do for these lions! Bless you Kevin!!😊

[@stellapret4992]

I think the photos should be posted'. People.needs to see the photos but the right people might not even look. Imagine you can't hear that mighty goosebumps roars are not heard. Kevin you and your team are doing a wonderful job. You all will be blessed, because that Gods creations ❤

[@christinem.alwaysbelieve]

Bobcat is so majestic. His mane is glorious. I love your walks with Bobcat & Gabby. The communication between the groups is like a song. ❤🐾 My heart hurts thinking about the extinction of such beautiful souls. The world needs to fight for them. Thank you Kevin for keeping the reality in our faces. The world needs to see and step up. ❤🐾

[@ReggieK-hn1uy]

I love this guy, what a great human being.

[@michaelcourtney3888]

It amazes me that even though the lions are in a sanctuary, defending their turf is built into their DNA through generations. I find it so fascinating

[@sanogoyuga]

Its in their DNA for thousand of years, they're made for this, no matter how captive they're. They stay lions.

[@lucyallsop88]

Yes even lions who have never been in the wild (such as Christian the lion) have inbuilt senses and instinct - truly remarkable animals 🦁

[@Andrea-l1o1n]

Agreed. Animal behavior is a fascinating thing period

[@michaelsangel73]

They have a great owner

[@mysteriousu5528]

The gene that codes for wild hunting instincts is probably muted and not switched off even when they are in captivity. You should watch Elsa, the lioness and Christian, the lion documentaries.

[@percismehta8959]

❤😮😢😂The roaring is hypnotic. Its music to my ears.

[@kerrypalmer9818]

I have been a member for quite a few years and now a pride leader. I believe everything Kevin does for all lions and many other species of wild animals is just amazing. I support everything he does. As I love all the animals at the sanctuary and love all the videos of them Bobcat and gabby are my absolute favorates I can’t help it. It is really good to see bobcat up and about and to see with all he is going through he is still bobcat and goes about doing what he loves to do. Kevin you truely are the most inspirational person on this planet you have given your life to helping the wild and wonderful animals who have as much rights to be on this planet as we do.

[@ShineBright-x7t]

Kudos to the Lion conservation efforts EWT Carnivores. A very good cause to support in more ways than one! God bless. 💞💞💝💝🐯🐱🐆🐆🐾🐾

[@FreedomRock44]

Love seeing Bobcat!!!!! Gabi Too. But Bobcat we are all wanting to stay strong.......as you said and TRUE... WHAT A MAJESTIC FACE and Lion!!!!!!

[@ThrasherMadDog]

I couldn't imagine a world without lions. They've had such a profound inspiration, a presence in my life, my art, my characters and it makes me upset to see them hurting. Theres something that makes me feel safe around lions, like a kinship and a mutual understanding and respect. Its not just a 'I love lions' thing, its something primal and deep within me. I hope I'm not the only one who has this feeling. Thank you for all you do Kevin. x

[@silverfox8598]

Sadly like myself a lot of people wont fully understand the issues and the lion poaching situation without being shown the reality of that situation, it is sad that this seems the best way to clarify update and educate the general public to the plight of the lions. LOVE THE CHANNEL ❤

[@LionWhispererTV]

Thanks for the ongoing support

[@LorisBenedict]

Sad that the most intelligent, dominant being on the planet are the ones responsible for destroying the planet and its inhabitants

[@linettequintana7251]

Thank you Kevin for your call out to all of us, reminding us of real life and how we CAN make a difference on this planet through helping you and giving ❤

[@kenc9236]

When you were sitting there with Bobcat giving a shout out to cookie it was amazing to see the love you all have for each other. From the 70's Born Free.

[@Fitguideshashi]

Kevin I learned about you in my english literature book where i got to know how you started the journey you had two cubs name Tau and Napolean and there you learnt how to stay with animals by not using the old practise and using love and understanding.Big respect to you (this is my mothers channel)

[@liliasgordon3565]

Bobcat and Gabby showing us they are both still giving as good as they get with the younger lions. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happy for Wild Lion Day! Love for Bobcat and Gabby

[@a48lex6]

Dear Mr Richardson: You are mad; insane; ridiculous; barmy and all the other similar epithets. And I'm SOOO jealous of what you do! You have just a BRILLIANT rapport with your animals - it is simply breathtaking. The trust they have in you is amazing. I think I want to be you - but I'm FAR too cowardly. Thank you for what you do - your bravery - your connection - and for making these mini films.

[@MM-yi9zn]

The utter magnificence of these Lions is just breathtaking. And to think our adorable house cats are actually related is awesome. All Cats. You have the best job ever. Enviable. Bravo & Best wishes from Australia.

[@bewusstsein9000]

Yesterday I happened to see a huge statue of a lion in the old cemetery on the Museumsberg in my home town Flensburg, Germany. I was born here and saw this lion for the first time yesterday. And today Kevin is talking about lion statues in cities.

[@ninjanunch27]

Kevin you have one of the coolest "jobs" in the world. I know you been doing this a long long time and not many people will ever know what this feels like. Thank you for sharing everything you do 🙏 God Bless 🦁

[@charlenebrowning7949]

They absolutely love walking. I'm so grateful that you have so much land to walk on that they feel happy and relaxed.

[@Sprack]

Well done to you and your crew. The world would be sad place without these majestic creatures. I feel that see the good with the bad is just reality. Your reality that we never see and educating the masses in both good and bad events is a step in the right direction for conservationists and what you folks do. Keep up the great work cause without you and the protectors who else do the lions have. HAPPY WORLD LION DAY EVERYONE! !

[@terriejohnston8801]

Thank God for all the Amazing People involved in protecting our Lions & & the Land. A major inspiration for Getting Involved

I am glad these lions are safe from each other. Peace in the animal kingdom is enjoyable 🎉❤

[@dprich100]

I was out for my morning walk today and a couple of neighbors were out arguing and yelling at each other. Bobcat and Thor reminded me of them. Informative, entertaining, and sad video. I just entered the competition and I hope you raise a bunch of money.

[@harrietnelson6048]

Kevin Richardson , I am so glad to see you and the lions . I know all of the animals are enjoying the nature walks. It is wonderful to be around majestic animals !

[@jerrypolverino6025]

Kevin has a life that I envy more than just about anybody else that I can think of. Who cares about money when you can have lions for friends. Kevin is rich beyond my wildest dreams.

[@bowedpsaltery]

We love you Kevin and all you are doing - your whole life- for these majestic gorgeous animals!

[@treychrs]

Thank you for all you do for Lions Kevin and yes you need to show the bad bits that's the only way anyone will know what's' going on. Its very important that you educate people. That's why many of us are here.

[@reginamosley4175]

Bobcat and gabby are my favorites 😍

[@karherineware3508]

Bobcat is looking well, and moving pretty well even though you can see that his gait has changed. The good news is that he still feels like running! Gabs looks wonderful too! All your wildlife conservation efforts are greatly appreciated! The snaring is horrific, and widespread! As ugly as the results of sharing and poaching in general are, we have to witness it. While its results are heartbreaking, they have an even greater impact on the environment. As you say, degrading and unbalancing it. We just cannot afford to lose our big cat populations of lion, leopard, cheetah, etc. Thank you for all you do Kevin!🦁💖

[@Jill-r9u]

I love ❤️😍💖❣️ seeing these Gorgeous Lions 🦁😍❤️💕💖💙🦁!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@trailryder5813]

This has been a great week. I always look forward to the Friday video's with Kevin and all the wonderful lions. Today's video was even better as it was with Bobcat and Gabby. I love the turf war scenes. Shows just how regal and proud Bobcat is. He loves to strut his stuff to those sassy younger lions (Thor's group) showing them just who the boss is. I was also treated to the best birthday present ever. My husband sent me a cameo from Kevin, Bobcat and Gabby. I was in tears and so blown away to hear Kevin talking to me about my sickness and my birthday while Bobcat was busy talking too. Kevin, you are the most wonderful and you made this girl feel the most special. Happy World Lion's Day to Kevin and all the wonderful lions. Again, thank you.

[@Jill-r9u]

Aww, so cute 😍💕💖💓💗☺️!! He loves ❤️ you Kevin. 😊❤😊!!

Loved seeing the lions roaring and reacting to eachother! So cool to watch. I see Neigie roaring too. Love beautiful sassy Gabby! She's so fun to watch! Bobcat looks very content and happy... lovey dovey today! :) Thought it was so funny when he ran off! Happy LION DAY tomorrow! Thank you, Kevin, for spreading awareness to the world to save our majestic, beautiful lions that we need on our planet! God Bless the Lions! 🦁🦁🦁🧡🧡🧡

[@Perleyful]

Dear Bobcat, even with his spondylosis, he still has to be out front...because he's the head honcho, of course !! Very glad to see him in such good health otherwise and Gaby will feep him on his toes !! Happy Lions Day too all, and may more people around the world, become aware of the importance of protecting natural habitats and their fauna.

[@JasminaKes]

What you said is so true! WE also have to See the sides! We have to understand and protect the lions and the other wild animals and nature!

[@cookiedee8473]

A belated thank you for the shout out! So exciting❤ Bobcats walk and legs remind me of George's legs but reversed. George has knocked knees, where as Bobcat has bow legs. Both cats take on quite the struggle but they are so tough💪

When picking up our 2 year old grandson from daycare, we pass a house that has white lion statues. My husband roars and the little guy does too. I tell them that's not how Kevin does it. And when in the house, I pull up one of your videos.
