An interesting video to view and some lively and not so lively action !. Looking at the way the animals have greeted me on Reunions, where i have been away for a while. I guess i look different 5 years on as well ! Will be interested in your feedback in the comments posted. Thanks so much for the overwhelming support in 2024 and the feedback on The Last Lion film it means a lot.

[@deerichardz]

Do the lions know the words you say, like come here, or their names even, or is it a combo of vocals and actions? Just curious.

[@Pardis_mn]

Such a special bond. ❤Siam was my favorite one. You didn't include Unathi, Gandalf, Suja, and Bongani. If they were included, Unathi was my favorite one. He was grumpy but he was so happy to see you at one of the past reunions. R.I.P. Siam, Gandalf, Unathi, Cussasa, Livy, Amy, and the rest of the sanctuary animals that left this world. ❤🤍 I am still waiting for the sanctuary animal update as you promised. Thank you, Kevin, George, and the Team.

[@suzannesmith6832]

Love all of the lions. Such different personalities.

[@maggiethecat1538]

You look great, Kev! You are a handsome, dignified Lion Daddy, loved by all! 💖🦁

[@carolelinquist1270]

All of them are my favorites! Fun to see each type greeting they do, and your joy in it, from Va. USA

[@schwartzy65]

The Lion roar is just one of the most magnificent sound in the nature

[@LionWhispererTV]

Thank you ! i agree

[@NanaVicki1]

It truly is....

[@catwoman0828]

I could listen to them all day. What a gift.

[@embreis2257]

4:45 Bobcat telling the crowd he has Kevin with him and they should all grant him precedence.

[@patricianunes3521]

I love the lion’s roar

[@ThirstyOtter]

When you've had a bad week and you watch this video, and all of the bad things are forgotten and you get to see these incredible interactions. Truly special to see.

[@LionWhispererTV]

This is great to hear, thank you

[@JL-zn7me]

The same happens for me. I come to this channel and watch, old videos included, a my day completely turns around!

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

Meg, Amy and you rolling on the floor together will always be incredible. So much love and trust between you, like a father having fun with his two favourite twin daughters.... 💕🧎🏻‍➡️🐈🐈💕

[@peggyarsenault1280]

I always love how “talkative “ Bobcat and Gabby are. Meg and Amy are beautiful! Meg has a special place in my heart! ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@sharonperry8978]

Same here - just love Meg

[@veronicablack3951]

Bobcat & Gabby are definitely the most entertaining there’s no way I can pick just one, they are all my favourites ❤

[@marcus3457]

I have to agree. Bobcat roaring his heart out was great, and Meg and Amy really represented what this channel is all about. RIP Amy. 😢

[@reddofly]

How can you pick one from all these lovely big cats? You can see them aging but still just as delightful as ever. :) Keep up the excellent work Kevin.

[@sandyd9645]

Yes, thinking the same ❤

[@mining4goldmeister420]

Vayetse will hands down always be my favorite. His journey form the loss of his brother Mofumu(? Spelling) and how he mourned for him for so long and finally got some relief when he got Livy and Ginny. He seems to have such a big heart.

[@jritechnology]

Mufumu was Vayetse's brother, a big handsome male who died from a snake bite. Vayetse called for him and called for him....he was being partially eaten by other lions....it was very sad.

[@embreis2257]

and the poor boy lost Livy too by now. in future, I wonder how Kevin is going to solve the question of forming new pairings for his social cats when they are already in their twilight years

[@haydeedavid]

All of them. I love them all. 💕💕💕

[@cinnow]

Echo and Naiobe are the survivors of a pride that had 5 magnificent lions. They look so lonely now without Siam.

[@PoetrySeven]

The way Meg and Amy hide behind the bush 😅 So happy to see their Kev

[@SCOOPER3896]

A great look back at the lions and a reminisce of the ones that are no longer here. I have no favourite, they are all my favourites but the one I miss the most is Amy, she was just fantastic. Thank you to everyone at the Sanctuary for looking after all the animals. ❤

[@LionWhispererTV]

Thanks a mil for the support ongoing

[@nancyheneghan4760]

I think Bobcat will always be my favorite and Gabby’s antics with the tires 😊❤

[@aliciamartin2024]

I'm a Mom and, as with my children, I will proudly say....ALL OF THEM!!!!!!

[@NanaVicki1]

To be kissed by a lion, what a gift that would be. Such losses Kevin, stronger than I'd be, that's for sure.

[@gabriellew6467]

Age cannot wither them, nor custom stale their infinite variety (apologies to Shakespeare). They are, one and all, wonderful. And have all made their marks in our hearts ❤

[@salmorreale7900]

I love when you share, in this case bobcat, the lions roar! Beautiful animals Mr. Richardson. Thank you for posting.

[@christinevanwettering6155]

It's so hard to choose a favorite... I just love them all! But yes, 5 years does make a difference. You can tell how they are more energetic in their greetings in 2019. Five years later, still very happy to see Kevin but just a tad more sedate in their greetings. And so bittersweet to see the other lions who have passed away❤

[@krisfrederick5001]

This reminds me of how excited my cat would get when I got home from work. I came to this channel out of curiosity initially, and stayed for the love I see. ❤🦁

[@LionWhispererTV]

Thank you so much, this is great to hear

[@Rob-zx8lm]

What a privilege to have the love of such magnificent creatures.

[@TS-ct8it]

Meg is as amazing as ever and so nice to see Amy again. I miss her. 😢

[@prescindaduggan6707]

Too hard to pick, love them all. But, Bobcat talking up a storm in the one clip...so awesome. He definitely had something to get off his chest that day, lol. Bittersweet to see the lovlies that have gone on to their next big life adventure. They do live on in our hearts and memories.

[@Waya420]

bobcat has always been my fav kitty. i love his straightforward nature.

[@NanaVicki1]

Meg and Amy brought tears.

[@patriciataggart8067]

Bobcat & Gabby! ❤🦁🐾🐾 Love them all! ❤

[@silverfox8598]

My favorite ALL OF THEM ❤

[@kgdskb]

Happy Friday, Kevin Richardson and incredibly beautiful lions! 🦁💕 Thank you, as always, for such wonderful and uplifting videos! ^^

[@2bjkennedy]

They are all gorgeous. I love them all, but bobcats greeting was the best.

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

Bobcat and Gabby, and Bobcat really TOPPED it off with that Amazing ROAR.......🙏🏾❤️🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡

[@nekite1]

I was left speechless by this video. I could not believe the level of connection that Kevin has towards any of the animals in his care. All of the lions are magnificent in their own right, particularly given that most of them are getting on.

[@briancave3823]

Meg is so amazing. Sad and joyous to see Amy. Amazing how old some of these cats are. None of them would have been close to this in the wild and certainly not in their original birth locations.

[@yookedamopolii8037]

Bobcat's roar is amazing. Just slightly below the amazing roars of Meg and Amy, before Amy passed away 🌈💐 I will always remember that legendary roar. It's imprinted in my head, heart and soul ❤❤ Rest in heaven, beloved Amy 🙏 And stay healthy and happy, dearest Meg 🙏 I love you both beyond words can express. God bless your souls 🙏❤

[@karengoold4198]

i will never get tired of hearing "Gabby!!" So funny 🤣

[@deaconx]

They may be wild animals, but also capable of so much affection and love

[@melissamorgan1389]

Oh my goodness I couldn't give up one of those greetings. What a wonderful gift you have with the affection of these lions. It just shows the mutual respect that they receive and give with you. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the George and Yame where he's running down the fence and then goes around his brother to say hello to you but I love love love love love love love them all

[@janew5752]

I could never pick a favourite as they all have such different personalities. They are all unique and wonderful to watch ❤

[@JanneHarp-my9gh]

Bobcat & Gabby ... always my favorites. Can't beat Bobcat's chatter and roaring ... he has the best ending for a roar!

[@linettequintana7251]

WOW! HOW can I possibly choose🤩?!?!?😍such love and trust each has with you Kevin! I love Bobcat’s roar and the end is like telling you, “that’s how it’s done!” 😂🥰 just like when you filmed him in the dark a few years back

[@shelliwani]

Kevin you are my favorite! The love you give these animals is so heart warming but even more so the love they give back to you. I cannot pick any one of them as my favorite as I love them all. Thank you so much for all that you do!❤❤

[@LionWhispererTV]

Thank you for the support and very kind words

[@lizchinchillact.3246]

I'm sorry but I loved them all. I couldn't pick just one they all made my heart melt 💓 ♥️ 🦁🦁🦁❤❤

[@EWischan]

Always good to see clips of Meg and Amy together... Bobcat is such a beautiful specimen.

[@samueljanderson]

My favorite? All of them. Nothing but love. You are amazing.

[@Debra.Justice]

Kevin, you dear man. Thank you for mentioning me in the video. I desperately needed that as I’ve just been told I have Covid so I’m not feeling the greatest. This video, like all the others, absolutely lifts my spirits. Watching you with these lions is so emotional. I can imagine what it’s like to have a powerful apex predator want to be with you and allow you to pet and cuddle it. I was excited when a wild raccoon sat in my lap and allowed me to feed her. Here you are with these majestic lions is just incredible. Hearing Bobcat roar just hypnotizes me., such a beautiful song. Thank you so much for everything you do for the beautiful animals of our planet. God bless you always. Much love and respect from Tennessee USA. 🥰🦁

[@LionWhispererTV]

Debra - thank you so much for the ongoing and dedicated support ! pleased you enjoyed the shout out

[@m53goldsmith]

Hope you are better soon, rest up, drink lots of hot drinks (tea, broth, etc.) and watch KR videos all day!!

[@user-ik4fj6jl1b]

Get well soon Debra 🙏💕

[@Debra.Justice]

@@m53goldsmith Thank you. I’m getting plenty of rest because I’m too tired to do much else. I do enjoy watching Kevin’s videos. They’re my therapy.

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Can you feel the vibration of Bobcat's roar? Such a beautiful sound. All of your loves are gorgeous.

[@juliescrafting]

It was so nice to hear Bobcat calling and Meg has always have a soft spot in my heart. They are all brilliant big cats and amazing bonds.

[@catwoman0828]

Kevin, you are such a lucky man. All of that big cat love. Who wouldn't want a greeting like that? George and Yame have to be my favorite but I love them all.

[@RKX_Errant]

Kevin, you ask the impossible. 😊 All of them were/are such treasures in their own right. ❤

[@123-NORTH-STREET]

God bless you for caring kev

[@cherylmarinelli9651]

I cant pick one as a favorite because I love them all. You are God sent for taking care of them. May God bless and protect you and your pride, always.

[@TishsPink]

I loved them ALL!! Just a joy to see how much love they have for you Kevin & how they greet you.

[@yeimycampos2906]

I love them all, they are wonderful lions 🦁🦁🏆❤

[@ellepha]

They are all my favorites! Such beautiful, amazing cats!

[@laxar2009]

I love all your lions ❤

[@MrJordiBaby]

I love Bobcat, because he's so vocal. Lions' roar is amazing.

[@butterfly19961974]

It’s impossible to pick a favourite. They’re all just soo beautiful in their own ways.

[@robertmcnamara5407]

Vayetse getting his chin scratched was just so beautiful, like sitting on the porch enjoying the moment. They are all beautiful but that one moment was priceless.

[@sallypuz6697]

Despite their very different personalities, your loves are all happy to see you. The bond that unites you is unbreakable. They all have a very special place in my heart. Thank you for these wonderful images, each as warm as the next. Much love to all your magnificent furry friends.❤

[@2bjkennedy]

They’re so smart I love the way they learned how to share you.. George and tame.. ohh dear bobcats roar is showing you how much he missed youuu

[@johncnorris]

That's either pure love or they are patiently tenderizing Kevin.

[@vickirothe3761]

In their own unique way, each one is my favorite. 💖💖💖

[@shelley-anneharrisberg7409]

Ah Kevin, those Lions really really love you! ❤So heartwarming to see. 🦁🦁Those chin scratches are just scrumptious! 😍But also so sad to see the missing names from the 2024 reunions 😥but we remember them all in our hearts forever. I truly cannot say I have a favourite - but for the sake of it, maybe the one with Meg and dear Amy ❤ ... But they are all beautiful!

[@carriewatson8671]

I love all the greetings, but Bobcat’s roars are fantastic!

[@choppercos508]

Can't pick a favorite.They're all beautiful animals.

[@annapatruno8627]

Che meraviglia che siete❤❤❤

[@stephenroberts4019]

the enthusiasm with which Meg and Amy greet Kevin is/was so special to see. Just like big domestic cats

[@karherineware3508]

I really enjoyed that walk down memory lane! Meg and Amy, Bobcat roaring, and Vayetse running to Kevin were probably my top 3! Thank you for not letting the memories fade for Amy, Siam, and Livy. All our old friends are missed, but they are definitely not forgotten!💖🦁

[@JTMoney333]

Theres no way I can pick 1 favorite greeting cause they're all amazing!! Seeing all the different personalities is precious. Always a big THANKS to Kevin for sharing this with us!! 🦁 🦁

[@keithbassett4730]

It's impossible to pick a favorite, they are all amazing

[@karimajaver2607]

How can you choose from all the lovely cats. Despite their ageing, the are healthy and beautiful. You sure have given the best in life and they all love you Kevin❤❤❤❤

[@teresacasperferm8773]

Lucky you Kevin. To be loved so much by a magnificent lion

[@emeraldlotusbylori4988]

I choose them all. I am especially fond of the bond, the love and the connection you have with all of them ❤

[@HeleTCM]

These videos never fail to bring a smile to my face. Kevin Richardson - the only man to be regularly mauled by big cats (with love) and live to speak about it.

[@titou1again]

They are all my favorite. Different personalities but all of these magnificent creatures are so lovely

[@scottschaible5704]

I cant chose. When I look into the eyes of a lion "I just go to peace" and joy and that darkness turns to light. Kevin's cats have so enriched my life. The bible says that "The Joy Of The Lord Is My Strength" and God symbolizes the lion as the power behind that strength. When I see Kevin's lions I see the sprit of God ,so beautiful. Thanks Kevin for enriching my life, keep sweet

[@charlesfaulkingham5599]

I can’t pick a favorite. They are all wonderful !

[@valeriewalker954]

All the Lions are wonderful 😊

[@melodeev5487]

What an awesome feeling to have a full-sized male lion running straight at you not in malice, but just because he wants a proper greeting!

[@BlackJaguar12]

George and Yame are beautiful lions 🦁 so are the rest of them but these two are my favorite along with Gabby thank you Kevin for the update video on you and your animals ❤.

[@embreis2257]

1:09 always wondered if Kevin is able (or would even try) to break up an imminent tussle between lions and succeed. guess we know now. 😘

[@yvonnebraybrooke5842]

Awww I could never pick just one. They are so effectionett towards you Kevin. 🤗 A real bond with these beautiful animals. They love you so much. ❤ What a great compilation. I could just watch over and over. Thank you. 🥰👍

[@JennyCoats]

Bobcat and Gabby have always been my favourite. Bobcats roar is truly beautiful.

[@SJane3]

4:45 First time I ever heard a lion carry on talking like that! If only we knew what he was saying! Haha.. such an incredible cat!

[@JoellenFields]

I have always loved the way Bobcat and Gabby greet you but Meg and Amy will always have a place in my heart forever. I love and miss each of the lions that went to the Bridge

[@CeCeuk]

They are all my favourites. If I could be anyone in the world right now for one week, it would have to be you Kevin Richardson. Lions are my passion.

[@kellygallagher3427]

I have to say that I cant pick one. I loved them all but the one with Meg and Amy, made some tears fall. I love watching your videos Kevin the old and new.

[@Laura-dolphinfanl]

MEG MEG MEG ... i sooooo LOVE seeing how much she LOVES you

[@deborahvrtis4428]

Bobcat & Gabby for sure. LOVE how Bobcat just explodes with his vocals -he loves you! And Gabby! I love a brat cat!

[@Debbie.Softie]

So hard to choose but my heart tugged watching Meg and Amy run up to you.❤❤

[@katgutierrez8916]

I love all of them, i miss those who are not anymore there. Meg and Amy kept me in tears, remember the videos when they are still cubs.

[@christinem.alwaysbelieve]

Love the bonds you have with each one. Great to look back and now. All their playfulness with you shows their love and respect for you. Gorgeous manes. I can't pick a favorite ❤🐾❤

[@lauraelliott1169]

I loved ALL of them! Precious!! I look forward to watching every Friday! Thank you, Kevin for everything you do and sharing these special moments.♥🦁

[@brandonleibowitz3829]

Meg and Amy were my favorites and was so sad when I hear of Amy passing away, but Meg now has Icarus!

[@KS-ce8hx]

Bobcat & Gabby, Megs & Amy and George & Nyamai are all beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MingsoNembang-ef8xy]

Ver gorgeous and beautiful lions ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FM-CAgdvibes1]

I can't pick a favorite, all of them. ❤

[@lisaebrom9956]

Can they all be my favorite? What wonderful memories.

[@deborahwagner8496]

Miss all that are no longer with us but remember The Catnip King fondly along with Gabby 😢RIP

[@isabelmarisina]

Love them all. Bobcat punctuates. Such a talkative big boy, and what a magnificent roar. Gaby is also very entertaining and Meg holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for this retrospective, much enjoyed! 🦁 ❤❤

[@user-ik4fj6jl1b]

I love all of them but enjoyed the ROARING DADDY 😂❤ WOOOW Bobcat thank u

[@Rigbycat123]

I cannot choose. They’re all so happy to see you Kevin. I still have a bunch of generic questions in my head but I’ll spare you. Looks like you and I both are embracing the salt and pepper haha Where is that young woman that watched that young dark haired lad with his black goatee all those years ago? 😂💖💙

[@inchoi9383]

They are ALL our favorites 😁❤️🦁 This beautiful awesome Big Cats it's just so magnificent!!! We love lions!! ❤🐈🦁🫶🫶🫶

[@tabbyb4421]

Honestly, who can pick one? They each have a unique personality, but the affection they show you is the same. Bobcat, the Fabio of lions, and precocious Gabby have a special place in my heart! Thank you for ALL you do, Kevin!

[@amyvalentin4501]

Gabby is my fave!!

[@NicolaLukasik]

Love them like he does.
