Love Bites | The Lion Whisperer

Suja and Bongani are delighted that Kevin's home after his trip to South America. But it's not exactly a love bubble as Bongani gets jealous over Suja's affection for Kevin and it's a frosty hello from the girls, Echo and Naiobi. And in Thor and Charlie's group the reunion turns into a scrap! At least Siam is pleased as punch by Kevin's return.

No matter how often I visit your channel I never fail to be AMAZED that you are able to walk into a Lion enclosure and be greeted as one of The Pride. It's a truly awe-inspiring thing to see!!!!

[@wellnone9367]

I find myself smiling all the way through these lion videos - they are just so magnificent, as are you Kevin. Without you the animals would not be complete, as they are. I love them.

[@MrMusic238]

I just find it endlessly fascinating how many of the same behaviors they have as cats

[@MrRobertX70]

they are cats ;-)

[@elijahhernandez906]

Domestic cats! :)

[@MrRobertX70]

@candy sus that's right

[@MrRobertX70]

​@@elijahhernandez906 I totally agree. As a cat person, I've learned to understand their body language. Whenever I see a large wild cat behave like my cats when they're in a good mood, my first reaction is that I want to pet it.

[@angelamartekimarkwei8608]

They are cats.

[@christinamichael3356]

Bobcat coming to greet you in spite of the feeding vehicle equals love!! ❤️❤️🦁

[@leonorgoncalves4367]

I love how there’s two male lions rolling around like kittens and a guy standing next to them filming it all😂 meanwhile I’m over here on a forklift in a warehouse

[@marshaowen6988]

Hey. Everyone has a real life and AWESOME DREAMS AND VOYAGES. Kevin just does it better than anyone else. What a journey. Thank you Kevin for all you do and share.

Can't assume anyone's genders the lions are actually non binary and identify as fish

One could never ask for a more beautiful and loving homecoming. Bless You All. 🦁💗🐾🇦🇺

[@dianebannister4591]

Hahaha! Big Lions afraid of the citronella bottle in Kevin's hand, moving backwards. Then afraid of what he had in his hand--cat nip. Finally, ahhhhh they were loving the smell of the citronella spray and cat nip! That Lion paw looked so huge against Kevin. I'm glad that Kevin got home from his South America trip safely. I'm happy to see all the different Lions.

[@nhaan4178]

Love how Kev immediately noticed Siam's scar. Proved just how much he knows about his animals

[@jacque883]

It never gets old watching Kevin and his lions 🦁 💕🤗

[@franabair5114]

Guessing Siam spreads his claws like a domestic cat "kneading" due to contentment. Seeing you again is very happy you're back as they all are.

[@jennylawson1980]

The bond you have with them all is attention love respect and compassion ❤😊❤ two for one in lion rollovers 😂

[@lukemacdougall9372]

Walking into a lion enclosure with hungry lions.... On feeding day.... And all Kevin worries about is that his welcome back greeting is cut short! Lovely video, my day is much better and a cheery way to end the work week!

[@JorgeForge]

Hearing the lions are hungry and about to eat definitely increased the stress level in me. Kevin on the other hand was unfazed. That's some confidence.

My favorite part was when Bobcat running to Kev..he was like " Oh my daddy, my daddy has come back!" (But unfortunately food truck came he suddenly ignored Kevin😝)

[@dianecapp1768]

Kevin .... Do you know how Lucky you are ??/ It is so AMAZING to see the Love these BIG cats have for you ! The Hyenas too ... I would LOVE to be you just for a couple Minutes so that I can show these Cats how much I Love them ! SO AWESOME !!

[@stolennimbus]

You know Kevin is a member of the pack when he can safely wait for the food truck to arrive among a pack of hungry lions.

[@Garian9]

Bobcat's love for Kevin surpasses his need to feed. The most badass lion in the sanctuary with unrelenting loyalty.

[@Lupinthe3rd.]

Kevin you have got to be the luckeist man alive to have such a relationship with these amazing cats.

[@elowyn9664]

It's the first time I have head the lions purring, just like domestic cats do. A totally new perspective. I absolutely love your videoes.

[@OriginalMomo]

I’m so jealous of your life with these big cats. Keep doing everything you do, Kevin! We’re behind ya!

[@mariewoodward9713]

Such a love festival. You can tell that there is a bond between the big cats and you Kevin. I think all of them missed you. Welcome back Kevin

[@howHumam]

It always impresses me when Kevin casually mentions stuff like "oh, it's been the usual couple days since their last feeding, that's why they're grumpy." Like he's just talking about some work colleagues 😂

[@MCtabst3R]

I’ve never had work colleagues that you have to feed

[@marshaowen6988]

Yeah I know me neither. But for Kev this is life. I love being able to vicariously live with Kevin.😁😍

[@angelmartin7310]

So much for the comments who say he feeds them right before entering every time, as if they'd eat him at the slightest twinge of hunger

[@marz1054]

Kevin tells a full grown Lion to not touch the spray bottle and he listens..... I tell my housecat don't knockdown the cup on the floor & it continues like i don't even exist! LOL... Love your videos Kev!

[@lazarmarinkovic8486]

The way the lions greated you is jsut more proof to me that regardless of there size, a cat is still jsut a cat!

[@lisaproustresearch]

At 4:12 I hope Kevin realizes what a beautiful image this specific moment is (2 cats rolling out of contentment few inches away from) : for him, the cats, the audience & eternity. Who has close ups of gorgeous beyond happy majestic cats, except him? What a gift to my eyes !

[@vickycarden1511]

Love homecoming videos. My two cats greet me like this. Even if I am gone for a short while. They know the sound of my foot steps walking up the stairs. I live in upper apartment. They greet me at the door.

[@dannylaw7367]

Some of my favorite clips. I love the channel and the big cats so much. I never thought this was possible to earn the respect of these beautiful cats so they act a lot like house cats to this one man.

[@xenotbbbeats7209]

How funny. The little kitties aren't as accepting of citrus. Those big kitties love it!

[@willdorten6867]

@@mikemckenzie3175 i used to have video footage of what was believed to be a black panther of some sort years ago, but it was questionable, shaky footage, and not a good enough camera, and the thing was so elusive. Most ppl didn't believe me, so i didn't keep the footage in safe keeping. Lost forever. I saw it a little closer up before hand before we went and got the camera, and went back it was still walking down the same road. i know what i saw. In Mississippi walking parallel with the Mississippi River. We showed co-workers the footage, and they laughed at us, and not even a week later it is in the local paper spotted near someones backyard, lol. you can't make this shit up man. The kings of hide and go seek. I bet once it experience enough attention, it disappeared from sight. i was in the passenger seat when i first saw it, down this gravel road i saw a glance of it sticking it's head out of the side of the bushes and trees along the road, and i turned and asked, my friend driving did he see that? He didn't. But sure enough, on the way back down the road it was trotting along, keeping it's distance then out of sight. Lucky it was there, after we went back later that day with a camera. i was shaking in awe, sucks i didn't get better footage.

God Bless these beautiful animals en their ‘staff’ and please take them all with us to Heaven when the soon coming ‘rapture of the Church’ takes place! We need GOD ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST! Man cannot save mankind, period. We’re all sinners in need of our savior THE Lord Jesus Christ. Believe the Gospel found in KJV 1.Corinthians 15:1-4 and you will be saved and have ETERNAL life in the Kingdom of God. We’re saved by His precious sinless Blood, His finished work at the cross for the remission of our past, present and future sins. Jesus is coming any moment now to meet the Body of Christ (all true believers in Christ) in the air, millions of people will be missing in the twinkling of an eye, as prophecied! Your fakestream media most likely will explain it as an, how surprisingly, ‘alien abduction’… All the signs of His coming are here! Choose wisely. The rapture is the revelation of the apostle Paul regarding the sudden removal of the members of the 'Body of Christ' and that is all people worldwide who believe in the right gospel, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Bible verses related to the rapture are: 1 Thessalonians 2:19, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 15:50-52, Philippians 3:20-21, Titus 2:13
