Spilling The Tea With Lions, Leopards and Hyenas | The Lion Whisperer

[@ckampen]

Bobcat's greeting/reaction to Kevin makes me emotional every time. That cat loves him so much, there's no doubt.

[@markwhatever.209]

I am a big fan of Bobcat, as Kevin says: "You always know where you stand with him", a very self confident lion.

[@dtchouros]

Seeing Kahn peek at you around the corner, while trying to be in stealth mode, is absolutely adorable. BUT it is hard to top Bobcat!

[@incubus3069]

It looked like he was using one eye to peak around. lol

[@naomitakimoto7295]

Yeah, the sight of just tiny bit of black figure peeking around the corner of nightpen was incredibly adorable 🥰 and of course BOBCAT is always the best demonstrator for Kevin ❤️ although Bongo also brilliantly demonstrated his vocalization too! This video is one of the most peaceful and enjoyable ones!

[@shanieyoung4300]

The love and adoration you get from Bobcat, you can’t help but fall absolutely and completely in love with him

[@fruitlion8]

I love Bobcat to bits, he's so affectionate and cuddy! A true ambassador for lions :)

[@bexaboo1956]

The fact that Kevin gets a full sized male lion to willingly lounge in his lap will always be fascinating to me. Keep up the good work, you bring smiles all around the world and spread much needed knowledge about misunderstood creatures

[@embreis2257]

this clip seems to confirm the lions are by far the easiest animals to read and to be around. hyena society is a bit tricky and leopards usually are solitary creatures but lions live in prides with pretty obvious rules and none too cryptic communication patterns. wouldn't be surprised to learn Kevin himself feels most relaxed when in the company of lions.

[@LoneBrowncoat]

@@embreis2257 ......In my book that would be Cheetahs, domesticated in ancient times, when they, along with Servals, Savannah Cats and the ancestors to our house cats, the African Wild Cat, would protect the grain[and vegetable] stocks from all kinds of rodents. Including the southern migration of the big Norwegian Brown Rat, some of whom can be aggressive, requiring something with a little more bite to catch.

[@embreis2257]

@@LoneBrowncoat don't know about Savannah cats but African Wildcats are ferocious beasts I wouldn't want to deal with. anyway, was commenting on the three species Kevin featured in this clip. on a wider note, cheetahs probably are my personal favourites. of all cat species mentioned so far you could set me up with more than one cheetah right now and I would be completely fine while even one small African wildcat would be way too much for me to handle.

[@LoneBrowncoat]

@@embreis2257 .......Their temperament would be closer to a domestic feral, having no trust in humans, especially if mistreated or abandoned. Like I always got along with the feral mothers, but the wild born kittens are another story. Three times I forgot my welder's gloves and I wound up losing chunks out of my hands, they just revert to their ancestral beginnings.

[@LoneBrowncoat]

@@embreis2257 ......Or maybe I was thinking of Caracals, Going to have to look it up again. Since some Brown Rats were as large as house cats, something bigger was needed back then.

[@Don-lo6vm]

Bobcat is my favorite male lion. The way he acts when he sees you and his way of talking to you and the look of happiness when he's head rubbing you reminds me of the way a favorite pet would act when they haven't seen you all day. As far as the female lion's it's either Meg or Gabs (if Amy were still around it would be her and Meg) they must think of you as the #1male, you can see it in their eyes. You are a very lucky man Kev, thanks for doing what you do for those poor felines, they look much happier after meeting you and your staff of great people who look out for the unfortunate ones.

[@darleneburwood6884]

I love Bobcat and Kevin's relationship. Priceless.

[@dianebannister4591]

Bob Cat acts like a big kitty cat with Kevin. He's so affectionate and fond of Kevin. I like how talkative Bob Cat is.

[@Lightwood_AF]

Bobcat is always the star, love how vocal he is. They must all recognise their names too, similarly to how our housecat's do. It's fascinating to see how they communicate with each other and with you.

[@LionWhispererTV]

😁 He's a top cat! They recognise the intonation rather than their name. 🙏

[@JurassicLion2049]

@@LionWhispererTV i still think of the example with Meg.

[@reneetibbetts4813]

Kevin, Bobcat ALWAYS comes through, he welcomes your vidits, even if you drive by their enclosure he is running the fence demonstrating his words to you. There is no denying your connection with Bobcat, such a Handsome male lion. Gabs was not her usual jump on Kevin self her brother had her on pins and needles. Meg is another one who smoothers you with greetings Amy did too. Your animals are all very fond of you Kevin, they are Gorgeous creatures. So we'll Loved and taken care of by You , your staff God Bless you all for Loving these Magnificent animals and sharing them with us🙏

[@Ms.Byrd68]

@@LionWhispererTV You don't seem to have to worry about having the 'scents' of the other animals on you as you go from animal to animal. That's surprising to me since an animal's sense of smell is typically quite strong.

[@2kanchoo]

@@Ms.Byrd68 I've always been amazed by this as well. With how the lions and hyena's go at each other at the fences and in the wild, I would have thought for sure if he went into a lion enclosure smelling like hyena's that would be an issue.

[@Milanvaneijk]

15:48 Imagine being so used to intense cuddling with lions. That you no longer notice a gigantic cat hair dangling from your face. I'd say one has truly reached lion whisperer status at that point ;)

[@Cheka__]

I love when Bobcat is affectionate. It's very sweet.

[@wallywatts228]

I didn't realize hyenas get big they look small compared to lions but seeing you by the hyenas made me realize how huge they are amazing

[@grievousangelic]

The leopards going after the Pilchard's always cracks me up. And Gabby definitely put her ears back when you said, "No Gabby." It was hilarious. "Look Kev. I'm not even doing anything! Just lying next to the building. Not trying to chew tires or your camera." And Bobcat, "Me, Me, ME!" Seeing these wonderful cats always brightens my day!

I love watching the older videos and seeing that she's always been Gabby. There's one that she's covered with mud and though Kevin tried warding her off, she rolled all over him, then jumped up and ran away! Growing up with brothers made her tough. She's a special cat!

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Kevin+Bobcat=Bromance 💕❤️💕 Kevin, how do male lions know their cubs are their cubs when they first meet them?

[@sharonf106]

I'm not a scientist, but I watch a lot of lion videos. Lionesses are amazingly smart. Sometimes, they will mate with several males when in estrus. My theory is that if the males "think" the cubs could be theirs, they're more accepting to the cubs, therefore the lioness plays it safe. It's also fascinating to see them in action when a strange lion approaches their pride. The lionesses will run up to them like a welcoming committee, while the moms will try to hide the cubs from them. If they're lucky, the males are distracted and their cubs safe.

[@cynthiacollett6233]

Kevin, your interaction with Bobcat and Gabby just melts my heart…I find myself watching you with a silly grin on my face…Wonderful video, as usual.

You can practically see the true friendship bobcat has for Kevin. It sure is something special to watch the obvious bond they have. The way the black leopard's act is kinda like how a house cat acts aloof and independent unless you have something they like and want

The best video in awhile, something for everybody! Love seeing the hyenas being so affectionate. Duke peeking around the corner at you was too precious. You saved to best for last, though Gabby seemed to be more inclined to sleep rather than fight Bobcat for your attention that day. His vocalizations are so endearing. You are a very blessed man to have earned their love.

I envy this guy. He's got a 450 lb lap cat. Must've taken years of unconditional love respect to get to this point

They act so much like their smaller housecat cousins. I grew up with housecats and I loved them all. I've a friend who adopted her first ever cat and she wasn't aware of even how to speak to him for best results.
