LionWhispererTV aim is to raise awareness about The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.
On this channel, The Lion Whisperer films the majority of his footage using a GoPro camera, allowing viewers to get as close as possible to the lions, leopards and hyenas at the sanctuary.
Kevin Richardson hopes to provide viewers insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and in turn, by watching the videos on the channel, viewers will be directly contributing to the conservation of these majestic animals.

Kevin, isn't lying when he says he loves all the lions. He wouldn't be doing what he does if he didn't love ALL of them. He said he had a good relationship with Gandolf but he didn't have a relationship with Cussasa and Sibindi! I don't know why if someone knows could you please tell me. I was under the impression that beside George and Yamme and Livy and Ginny who were older cubs when Kevin took them on. He had hand raised or worked with the others since they were little ones. And of course he has better relationships with Meg and Amy God rest her soul I MISS that lioness I still tear up at the mention of her name. He saved their lives TWICE once when they were young cubs when Mattetau put them in the drinking water and the other time when they were 16- 17 months old and they were sold to the lion farm hours away. Bobcat and Gabby are ones too he has closeness with and Vayettes and Ginny and Livy. You can tell Gabby and Ginny love him their the only to ladies that still jump on him. I was wondering WHY he doesn't do enrichment walks with Gandolf and Cussasa and Sibindi. Now if anyone can answer why Kevin has no relations with the girls I would love to know. I thought he hand raised them. And doesn't it hurt his relations with Gandolf not interacting with him up close not thru the fence? I just thought some lions there are older and he didn't. Walk them because of they are up there in age. And he wants to let them alone to live their time out in peace from visitors.

RIP Gandalf Sweetheart. I came here to see you again and know that you were so loved and cared for. May you and Kevin meet again one day in a beautiful reunion. Bless You. Will Miss You. 🦁🙏💗🇦🇺😢

[@Kirinji1kirinji]

1:28 As soon as Kevin said "I haven't been around these lions for a long time" and one of the girls gave him a snarl, I got really really nervous. Scared for Kevin even. More often we see Kevin interacting with many of the lions as if it's nothing and perhaps I am guilty of making myself believe that they are very friendly animals. That they can be, but they are after all, wild animals. This was a sobering lesson for me, and reminded myself of what Kevin is dealing with on daily basis. I also have a whole new respect for Kevin, who does not exhibit some sort of "misplaced" invincibility when it comes to his relationship with the lions, but backs off when necessary. Thank you for taking the time to show Gandalf's pride!

[@outoftime7740]

Cussasa and Sibindie are the only 2 wild lions Kevin has at his park. All the other lions, he raised since they were cubs and in Ginny and Livvy's case a year old. That's why he doesn't go in their enclosure and he can't have the same relationship he has with his other male lions with Gandalff because the lionesses are wild lions.

[@outoftime7740]

@@rusenchacha647 Ya I remember, the lionesses were very young then. Maybe 2 or 3. And they kept their distance from Thor and Kevin. Now they are 12 years old I'm sure.

[@NxDoyle]

In one on one attacks in the wild, a lion will employ one of two methods to disable their prey, the throat clamp and the muzzle clamp. With human prey, it really doesn't matter. A lion would barely have to open its mouth to fit your whole head in.

Kev, I would really like to hear a little bit more about your relationships with the animals. I'm interested to hear is there a particular reason why you don't have relationship with Cussasa and Sibindie, did they came as adults in the sanctuary? And how their presence affected your relationship with Gandalf? If Gandalf was alone in the enclosure would you interact with him? If yes, do you miss these interaction with him?

Thank you for this video and looking forward to more like it to help us get through these crazy times. PS: Hope George is well after his procedure. Stay safe all x

[@jaggr1287]

Wish you could have gone in a bit more detail about why you aren't so close with Cussasa and Sibindie. Were they rescued/adopted at an older age when they were more independent?

[@upswizzle]

Myself, as well. I was thinking they were older when rescued, but that's just my imagination.

[@joany11swatch14]

Me too. I would have like to learn more about that as well.

[@garbanzobaen]

He met the girls when they are already at a mature age which means they really have not much interest in making new bonds and as far as I know they haven't really had any close relationships with humans so they are pretty much wild lionesses so they were very cautious when it comes to interacting with Kevin.

[@reneetibbetts4813]

I just remember the older video's he did with Thor Sr. At the other place he worked at. He was in pen with Thor and Cussasa and Sibindi were in there as well hiding. Kevin said Thor ignores them. So I just assumed he was in there with them all those years ago that he felt safe being in there with them. This video was the first time I heard him say he didn't have relations with them. But he has had relations with Gandolf because I remember seeing video of Aslund and Gandolf. That's why I'm confused why he isn't interacting with Gandolf anymore. Sad to see and unfortunate for Kevin and Gandi But, here is a prime example of Kevin's LOVE and DETICATION he sacrificed his relationship with Gandi by pairing Cussasa and Sibindi with him so he wouldn't be lonely. Best case scenario for lions. Now I know why no enrichment walks for this group. Gandolf is a Beast of a lion, I could not believe how HUGE he is and the girls too. Meg and Amy I thought were BIG! RIP dear sweet girl💔

[@kimberlee3243]

I feel so bad that Meg is alone

[@reneetibbetts4813]

I think Kevin makes sure she is kept company daily. I know it don't justify having a buddy after the loss of Amy girl. But, I am not sure Kevin can pair Meg up with anyone of the lions now. Meg is 17 years old. The rest are in their prides of their own. And Kevin talks about the dangers especially a female lion, he could put her in with say Livy and Jinny and COULD potentially get severely injured or killed. And I believe Meg is the oldest now there of all the lionesses. Not sure about Cussasa and Sibindi ages. So you don't want Meg scrapping with other lionesses at her age. Her and Amy never wanted any company from other lions so that is why they were the only lionesses with no male. Poor Sujar will never be the same after his time with Meg and Amy. I feel bad for Meg as well But, in all reality Kevin has really no options. And I don't want her health risked or anyone else's there to find her companionship. She seems to be doing Good. And Kevin knows better than we ever will comprehend..

[@SandraNelson063]

@@reneetibbetts4813 From what Kevin has said before, Meg can go over to the fence separating her enclosure from the ones that border hers, and talk to the lions in the other enclosures. They can "hang out" together even if the fencing separates them. She is aware of all the activity around her and even says hello to the three moving in across the way. So she has some social activity. But I don't think she would ever accept another lion as part of her "pride". She and Amy were their own pride, and Meg will just have to go it alone. Unfortunately, there comes a point when someone is the "last one", and at least Meg has things going on all around her to keep her occupied.

[@reneetibbetts4813]

[@jraven4567]

I have been so curious about these 3. I remember seeing Gandalf and Aslan in some of the way older videos when the lions were in much larger prides. He reminds me a lot of Bobcat personality wise: playful and lovable, but doesn't like people and lets them know it, and he is a talker. Majestic too! So the girls are semi-wild? They never connected with Kevin? That's too bad, they are beautiful ladies. At least Gandalf was able to win them over. So does that mean he never gets 1x1 interaction with Kevin anymore?

[@sharonf106]

So, very happy to see this pride featured today!! So little is known about them, they've remained mysterious. Gandalf, is such a majestic boy. The girls are so beautiful. Remembering how Thor seemed to be ignored by them, it's good to see they coexist well with Gandalf, despite the battle scars he carries. How old are the girls?

omg I’ve wanted a video on them for ages!!

[@SandraNelson063]

Cussasa ran out to deal with ANYTHING that was in her way, come Hell or high water. Gandalf just trotted out, kind of curious. Relaxed. But Sibindie shows great common sense. She WAITED until she knew it was safe, until she knew that Gandalf and Cussasa would scare off any danger that was outside of the fence. THEN she came out. Clever girl. Gandalf is GORGEOUS.

[@dutch-essjess1185]

I love this series, it’s so much fun to learn a bit more about the animals in the sanctuary ❤️

[@jillburton9965]

Hello Kevin. What a lovely pride, loved how Gandalf and the girls just walked to new enclosures as it was something they do everyday. Have a great weekend and stay safe with this coved-19.🦠 👹👹👹❤️❤️❤️ xxx

I love lion whisperer😚fans from malaysia for all lions,hyenas and leopard

[@upswizzle]

Kevin: How are the lions' names chosen? Also, what are the translations for some of the names, specifically those that are not European-centric? Love you guys and thanks for all you do.

[@jaggr1287]

all I know is Yame, which is short for an African word for "Lion". George is named after George Adamson, a famous lion conservationist in Kenya, I believe. He describes them in a video from a year back.

[@sowhat1273]

Kusasa is a Zulu word which means Future or Tomorrow. Sibindi means Courage but can also mean Liver in Zulu.

@Rami Sebit Yeah, they'll let the lions loose first. Enjoy lol.

[@buildinit6523]

@Rami Sebit stop poaching the animals

[@dianearsineau5827]

How did you acquire gandalf,cussa,and sibindie ? They seem to be very relax around but Kevin you know your lions and maybe someday you will be able to show some love to them.meg is next to them maybe she will show them how it feels to touch you. These girls really gained up on Gandalf and marked up his face ? Most girls when mean business will do this. I still think they are not too old to play some games, even if it's just a ball ,roap,stuff animals. Everyone wash you hands and stay you distance from humans.love you Kevin and take care.

[@jennyhunt8399]

Wow!!! Kevin so impressed you opened the gate knowing the girls are wild 😱 they just walked out as if they was on one of your walks 👍 . Magnificent Gandalf 🦁 such a big boy with his war scars .Loving his citronella spray .Brilliant as always Kevin .👍

[@loviesmith230]

I love this video as I do the others. Even though Kevin has had no hands on relationship with Cussasa and Sibindie; he strategically gets them to move to another enclosure.... walking....I just love it!

[@nanuq83]

I'm always happy when we meet new characters! Stupidly, I thought you had a close relationship with all the Lions and Lioness' but it makes more sense that not every personality wants close interaction. Nevertheless they're incredibly lucky to have you in their lives and I don't doubt they know it. 🐾

[@Diana_Fire]

So glad you've finally received over 1,000,000 subscribers. You deserve ten fold.

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Alicia Westfall Yes, he hit a million subscribers in early 2019. 😊

[@debm9413]

When I was at your sanctuary last year Gandalf was very growly. He didn’t seem to mind my presence, but he was particularly focused on Matt, our guide.

[@paulalaye6428]

Hey Kevin, it's soooo good to see you and your beautiful lions tonight, thank you for showing these three. Wonderful Paula in uk
