[@LionWhispererTV]

Well an interesting video to view, watch Dr Caldwell with his expert help again. We have had a little run on claw issues for the Lions, some because they are getting older and through age related issues. This time a surprise it is one of the younger Lions at the Sanctuary - Charlie. I know Dr Caldwell will considerably help and benefit the Lions with claw issues. Thank you for the ongoing support and messages. Let me know in the comments what you think and we have more Claw related content to follow ahead. Lion Manicure specials !

[@ADDeeJay]

Kevin, for a cheap solution to their claws getting long, you can mix sand and glue and use paint rollers and cover the bark on the trees in their enclosures so when they scratch it files them down.

Hey Kevin on may 9 2014 10 years ago today the van gills channel posted a video of you playing football with wild lions it was the first Kevin Richardson video I saw I was 11 years old and was amazed by the video also impressed by Livy Ginny and vayetse and bobcats big black mane and now I’m 21 I’ve been watching for 10 years I’m thinking of finally coming to South Africa to visit your sanctuary I’m so sad some of lions in that van gills video have sadly passed away but is your sanctuary open for tourists and how much does it cost kev I would to love to have pictures with you I’m such a big fan

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Yet another very cool video. But also very informative. Wasn't expecting they needed treatment while living outdoors with trees available etc.

Hi everyone I just wanted to let Kevin and the gang know I’m recovering from brain surgery and I took the pride with me as I was so anxious they allowed me to quickly watch my fav videos before the surgery and u guys it really helped calm me down I took u guys with me!!!!! And I just wanted to say a massive thank you it would have been so much worse if I didn’t have my pride with me so massive thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LionWhispererTV]

This is wonderful to read - so pleased!

[@NurseEvie]

Bit off topic here, but my grandpa recently died and he was from south africa and his voice sounds almost identical to yours. He would always tell me stories about his life in africa and the lions and wild dogs. He was like the father I never got to have, so whenever I'm stressed I come here and watch your amazing videos and it always puts me at ease. Thank you so much for making these incredible videos, ❤️ from the UK 🇬🇧💕

[@LionWhispererTV]

Oh sorry to hear this, wishing you the Best and condolences. Nice words, thank you

[@christinevanwettering6155]

It's amazing to me how you herd Thor's pride into their pens and to be able to get to Charlie.And it made me smile in the end when after the procedure, Thor and the girls were looking on. Either they're concerned for their pridemate or just being nosy. And it's always great to see Dr. Caldwell at work. Thank you for sharing. Hope Charlie feels better❤❤❤

[@brooke5258]

Very precious that they're all waiting around the gate for him to wake up in recovery, just like family in a hospital.

[@catwoman0828]

Love the shot of the 3 looking in at Charlie behind the door. They are so beautiful!!!!

[@donnamealy4877]

These cats are so blessed. Not only to they get to live at the Sanctuary, they have the amazing Doc Caldwell on speed dial. 😊❤

[@andreadefelice7596]

Just love Doc Caldwell. He is so gentle when caring for these beautiful cats. Kevin, God put you on earth to care for these animals. ❤

[@jennylawson1980]

That explains some of hos grumpiness lately. He was hurting and that was his only way of dealing with it ❤ so glad the doc is there to help.

[@debbiferguson9669]

Dr. Caldwell is professional and compassionate in his care of animals. Wish human doctors followed the example of veterinarians. Thank you Kevin for providing the best life for all in the sanctuary.

[@coraliepetit-lc9ro]

It's so touching to see how these magnificent lions are surrounded by love. Such a great team !

I said it before Kevin, it's fantastic you have Dr Caldwell to and his team to tend to the lions.

[@PARRISHMELLOTT]

Just seeing him get tranquilized made me sad. I know its for his own good but still made me sad. He is so beautiful!!

[@LittleDreamer-42]

That look the lions gave you when you brought him back, like "don't you DARE to hurt our Charlie!!" ... 😅 Love this pride. They might have their fights now and then but in moments like these it's all for one 🦁 Heartwarming every time how well you all care for these animals ❤

Dr. Caldwell is a great vet, always doing his best for all these animals. I love the scene when Charlie was brought back unconscious for recovery and all the lions were looking at him from the outside not happy at all, like saying “ what have you done to him” specially Thor and Jubari, you can tell they feel for each other, that was heartwarming; I know Charlie will feel much better after his pawdicure. Thank you Kevin for all the care and love you provide to all these magnificent creatures at the sanctuary.

[@LuisaN-u7u]

The mani/pedi session is adorable to watch plus they must be so relieved when they wake up & walk without discomfort :) I loved the soft look of the group through the bars when the unconscious lion was Brought up by the humans They were confused as if considering filing a complaint with Kevin on behalf of their friend ;) Beautiful creatures !!

It’s so wonderful to see the caring Dr Caldwell and his team. So interesting to see how the other lions were looking in watching what was happening with Charlie. I know and love that book “All Cats are on the Autism Spectrum” that PhillipMiner 3554 suggested. As an autistic person, I find the lions and your connection with them very calming and therapeutic. Thank you for all you do.

[@Debra.Justice]

Kevin, another suburb video. I laughed when Thor was pawing at the gate. He was thinking, “let me out Dad”. 😂 Dr. Caldwell and his team are amazing, and we can tell how much they care about the health and welfare of the animals. I thought it was so sweet the way Thor and Jubari were watching Charlie being carried back in. Then they had to growl and let everyone know who really runs the sanctuary. 😉 Thank you Kevin for taking us along on this incredible journey. You are fulfilling God’s purpose for your life, taking care of His majestic creatures. Love to you, your staff, and the animals from Tennessee USA. 💕🦁

[@SCOOPER3896]

Another tremendous vid Kevin. It shows an aspect of the care and treatment that the animals get. Best to see the anger and emotion that Thor and Jubari give when Charlie is being worked on and they can't help/protect him. Thank you to ALL that work at the Sanctuary and care for the animals. ❤

[@dtchouros]

Seeing you do the pride member shout out reminded me of a Cameo. You should make Gabby do Cameos to earn enough money to pay you back for tires. She could make a fortune. 😂 Thanks for the suggestion. It is Friday and I need to go get a pedicure. Have a great weekend!
