Thor was a beautiful white lion with very unique traits, both look and personality wise. No wonder Kevin was heartbroken when he passed away. The god of thunder struck by lightning, miss this incredible animal.

[@Tysonbax]

You can tell just how much he really loves that lion, the way a proud parent would talk about his own child, it's lovely.

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Kevin said when Thor died he had never cried as much. Kevin was Thor’s only pride mate.

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Thor was an amazing lion. He was also strange lion. He didn't want to live with males or females. Kevin was the only individual in Thor's pride. I miss you boy!

[@coryfaye1526]

Awww, you can tell how much Thor really loved Kevin. He will definitely be missed.

[@Ru-gv2if]

All.of his lions are so healthy looking! Well taken care of.

[@ramanis1060]

Nocare

[@Ru-gv2if]

In reading Kevin's book he said he never cried so hard after Thor's death. Thor was struck by lightening. Sad hearing how their relationship was rebuilt over 4 years and now he is gone and the relationship lost forever. The film ' White Lion' is touching and and beautifully shot. A lovely film and the care given to the animals and story is enchanting.

Thor was such a lovely, sweet lion despite his stubborn personality. Sad not to have seen/heard much of him before he died but I'm sure he lived a wonderful life, thanks to Kevin and his team.

[@williammckown7]

What movie is Kevin referring too?

[@myamyamae83]

White Lion: Home is a Journey

[@aprilskies1051]

William Mckown a feature film was made using Thor and other lions. it was named White Lion as described by caffeinated system. you can buy it on Amazon along with Kevin's revised book 'Part of the Pride' I've just bought my copies, they are not expensive....

[@sahar1usa]

Humans r stubborn not animals

[@dragonmaid1360]

Strange I don't see a sweet lion I see a predator with an intelligent sizing up of every one there even while enjoying Kevin's attentions. I would be glad for that fence.

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Thor was killed by lightening in 2013. Kevin was quoted as saying he "never cried so much". He now has another male, white lion named Thor. The new Thor plays Charlie in the movie "Mia and the White Lion". The movie premiers in the U.S. April 12, 2019.

[@madtech5153]

should have added Thor Junior or Thor Senior, caused so much confusion to the new members and us veterans has to explain it to them that this is a different lion from the movie

where did it say that he died from lightning? it doesn't make sense that lion with that speed and sense of smell wouldn't know in advance the danger of lightning is about to come.

[@rachelgarber1423]

Paul Avery Thanks for the info, I forgot that, more familiar with Greek and Roman mythology

[@adrianowerneck6178]

Even though it cant be denied the small risk this man endures when being around these great animals, it can be clearly seen that he is having an amazing experience very few people on this entire planet are given the opportunity.. Personally , if I had the option to work as a lion caretaker, even with said "danger" involved, I would take the job without hesitation. Much better to have an incredible time with these lions, considering the minimum risk to survival involved, than to stay at home living an repetitive and bland life where you do the same things everyday ( on your comfort). So would you rather take no risks and live nothing, or would you rather take risks and embrace the epic situations life can give you? I would certainly choose the latter.

Poor guy got killed by a bolt of lightning..It's both fitting and tragic.

[@Samus1234567890]

It wasn't tragic. Thor was old. Better to develop kidney disease or something and grow hobbled and on meds and slide into death, or die instantly as the lightning calls you back to Valhalla? I doubt he felt pain.
