Keeping Up With Black Leopards | The Lion Whisperer

[@Elrictwok]

"I'm not sure Kahn saw them" Kahn: WHAT?! WHERE KEV?! When his head pops up haha, the timing!

[@purrmageddon5749]

Yes that was so funny, great comedic timing from Kahn.

Never ceases to amaze me how gracefully and easily leopards move through the terrain. The pace is so different from the lions, definitely a good workout for a human 🥵 Thank you Kevin for battling your way through the bush with him 😅 Absolutely love Kahn.

I would say Leopards are more "cat like" Lions are amazing in their own rights but compared they are just brute strength. Enjoy

[@Chewbecca101]

I had a one and only trip to Uganda to film gorillas, and I didn't know much about them when I got there. Didn't know they never stop moving. New home every day. So we would catch up to them and stand in awe and amazement, and off they would go again. I should have trained before I went. They proved it was so effortless for them to cross the jungle, and we were all out of breath and scrambling.

[@privacyreal620]

This cat absolutely loves him and very obedient because he treats them like they should be

[@michaelmancini5773]

Truly incredible the harmony Kevin has with these cats, it can’t be learned nor cultivated, it’s a gift , they seem to completely accept him, but he knows he has to be always vigilant

He certainly enjoyed himself! 😊

I absolutely loved the walk with Kahn ♥️. He surely did not disappoint. So many parts of the walk stands out, but what stole my heart was Kahn’s beautiful eyes. He was under a tree/bush and he looked to Kevin and those big gorgeous golden eyes. Kahn is magnificent. Thank you, Kevin and team, for another fantastic Friday video 👏🔥♥️✨. Thank you Kahn for allowing us to join 🥰

I love how their colouration makes them look like giant house cats. Maybe subconsciously I also have memories of watching the Jungle Book in the cinema as a child and Bagheera, one of the good guys, was a black leopard and so they're probably appealing for that reason too.

I'm in Australia Victoria in severe lockdown for 21 months. My son has leukaemia & been in hospital for the better part of a year. Watching you Kev take Kahn for a walk (my favourites are leopards) made my heart smile & gave me such joy. Being locked down has had me reflecting more on wild animals. That's why I love your large enclosures, you rotating enclosures & talking them for a walk. This video made my day.
