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.
To raise awareness, Kevin has now set up his KZbin Channel 'LionWhispererTV'. The channel is all about raising awareness about not only the declining numbers of lions, but also how this rapid decrease is happening. By watching these videos, you are directly contributing to our scheme of land acquisition.
Kevin captures the majority of his footage on GoPro cameras, allowing the viewer to get as close as possible to the lions.
By doing this, Kevin hopes to give people an insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and to let them see just what they can do to help. You can nearly touch them.

Good to see this gentle young man follows in your feet steps. My warm regards to you and him.

[@graemepatterson6246]

Thanks. Best wishes to you too.

[@duckieznn]

I wonder if he was Kevin’s son

[@willyrose19]

I am glad that there is someone else born with the gift to be with the Lions. God Bless the both you!

[@andyvauxv6]

I remember the first video of George and yame as Cubs. You must be so proud of how they have grown into such amazing animals

George still looks so gorgeous up to this day 😍 That "paw to the camera" at 5:30 reminds me of that other video of him before he got his eye surgery when was still a cub lol

[@maryharris9863]

to all subscribers... instead of arguments on this page let's try and get together and help save what we love... Kevin has almost 500,000. subs. If we all gave what we could per month. at least one dollar, the amount above could help Kevin save more lions ....then we'd really shut the canned hunting industry's doors ....

[@deemariedubois4916]

Mary Harris Amen.

[@ruthgunn2487]

How do we give more💵?, Thanks 🙂

[@samblah]

@AutspieDrough never say never bud, the population is dropping radically

[@singularityhq]

We could also watch Ads for at least 30 seconds. That's how long it takes for Kevin to get paid for a view. This video has more than 500k views, if we all watched the 30 second Ad, that would be more than $100k for the lions.

6:21 my favorite part when George put his paw around Kevin 😍 so much affection from these big boys!

[@ceribeth2189]

6 or so minutes in when George flops on you for a cuddle and puts his paw around you is one of my absolute favourites moments ever. And that’s hard to say cause I love so many. What a beautiful precious moment for us to enjoy 💛

[@kissalara]

George and Yame are very affectionate and beautiful :*

[@LionWhispererTV]

Are they your favourites? (LionWhispererTVTeam)

@@LionWhispererTV Impossible to pick my favorite lion! My favorite lion is all lions!💕🦁💕

[@gizem6873]

I find it fascinating how you and your crew can be around such dangerous animals, without them even thinking about hurting you. Truly fascinating

[@Breatheable]

Innocence is Bliss!

[@darrenheadrick3669]

Breatheable, Kevin stated in a previous clip that he is aware every day that any one of the lions could kill him. He also goes onto explain that he watches the body language of these animals which will tell him what kind of mood they are in. He finished the video by saying that if one if these animals did kill him and he had a chance to relive his life he wouldn't change it one bit.

[@darrenheadrick3669]

Breatheable, that being said he's not not innocent. He is completely aware of the dangers.

[@irealdeal1334]

They train lions very well and take care of them. Kevin take them out, feed them and show them lots of love unlike zoo owners who just get money off lions. Pity

[@BasementBubbatunde]

@@irealdeal1334 they aren't trained at all lol. It's just a trust and bond but over the lions life. They're accustomed to routine sure but if you or I hopped in there enclosure without an exit we'd be cat food lol.

[@kultofathena6217]

Am I the only one seeing how strategic kevin is with protecting his head while interacting with the lions ? It's very impressive.

[@SayonDragon15]

They've gotten so big 😱

[@LionWhispererTV]

They've grown up so much haven't they? Getting bigger everyday. (LionWhispererTVTeam)

Tremendous big cats. I love them very much Kevin. They have trust on you. Lovely creature.I am big fan of you Kevin and big hai to your lovely pets from India

[@genisisarmstrong5896]

I never expected such young lions to be that huge! They are gorgeous none the less.

[@bethsmith2414]

I can not believe how much George and Yame have grown. I remember seeing the video when they arrived from Spain. So heartwarming 💖💖💖

[@deemariedubois4916]

Beth Smith And poor George especially in such bad shape. Thank God for Kevin, the vet and staff, that treated the boys and restored their health. George would have died if Kevin hadn’t accepted him at the Lion Sanctuary. Donations made George’s treatments possible. Give what you can, at least watch the videos and the ads. We all need to do what we can so these lions through no fault of their own ended up in captivity where they have to live out the rest of their lives can have the best quality life that they can.

Love George & Yame and glad they are thriving under Kevin's care. Thank you for introducing Graham to those like me who didn't know who he was.

[@graemepatterson6246]

Its nice to meet you.

[@SK-ki3fq]

It brings tears to my eyes seeing these two lions.. I have watched them since they were little cubs 😊

[@camelotcat6794]

April 2020: George and Yame are my favorites!! George laying on Kevin is doing what he did as a cub. Love their eyes! I especially like it when someone else is doing the filming do we can see more interaction. Thanks Kevin and team. 👏🇺🇸

[@leechien6]

Wow, they still got the cute faces when they were cubs.

[@elushka29]

They love this other guy too , brilliant

[@KatherineUribe-1]

O M G! George and Yame are two of the most gorgeous young lions I have ever seen! Their manes and coats are beautiful, full, and shiny. I'm so proud of George! He's come such a long way! He had such ailments, had to have surgery and pain meds. Now, he's bounding about, even jumping over Yame! Yame is one of the most perfect specimens of young lionhood that can be imagined. His mane extends all the way to his belly. Both of them are as healthy and happy as any lions could hope to be! Kevin and the Lion Whisperer Team are to be congratulated! They've done a superb job raising these two lions. And they're as good tempered as they are handsome. That is proof of the love and care that has been lavished on them. Happy belated St. Valentine's Day 💟💝 ❤ and happy St. Patrick's Day!☘🍀☘🍀☘

😏

[@Rokstar12341234]

It's so nice to see Yame and especially George looking healthy and happy ❤️ I've been following their story since they arrived at the sanctuary as two frail and underfed cubs. It was heartbreaking to see, but I'm so thankful that Kevin took them under his wing and gave them such a beautiful life ❤️ Hope to see more of these two gorgeous boys 😊

[@Rokstar12341234]

excuse me? I was referring to their health and their emotional well-being. I dont get how that makes me sexually attracted to lions!?

[@0dave14]

the internet is a strange place.

[@Rokstar12341234]

i didn't take it seriously i know you were 'joking' but its just dead bants and quite disgusting tbh

[@Rokstar12341234]

Trust me i know how to handle a joke, I've always been the clown in my group of friends....but beastiality is not something I find funny. maybe its not disgusting to you, but I don't roll that way

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

WOW!!! They really have grown up a whole lot since they came to you as cubs! Awesome stuff!

[@marisaghr]

they seem to be the male versions of meg and amy when it comes to their level of affection and interaction with kevin. they are also so vocal. at the beginning they answered kevin right back when he vocalized to them. what does that sound mean? i hear it all the time and it would be great to know the context of such sounds..

[@joshshin6819]

m.g. rogers so true. They are a bit more aggressive at times than Meg and Ami but I see it. Kevin has himself 4 super amazing bonds that are tighter than any of the other bonds he has

[@alexismcintosh906]

This makes me so happy, their relationship with Kevin and Graham is so amazing. I love everything you do

We're glad you enjoyed the video Daphne! Are George and Yame your favourites? (LionWhispererTVTeam)

[@Jenniferde2007]

YEs indeed and so are Meg and Amy.

[@kikia6611]

I have been watching the videos since George and Yame arrived from Spain. George is my favorite, he is a beautiful boy and has come so far. He is equally as magnificent as his brother Yame, even more so to me because of all of the issues he has had to overcome and live with. So happy to see these two thriving! ❤

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I remember when Georgie depended on Yame to see, his eyesight was so poor. It makes me so happy to see him running and playing, no hindrances! Bless these beautiful young lions and Kevin, for his tremendous work!💗🦁💗🦁💗

[@lxxredxxl9587]

George has the most recognizable face of any lion ive ever seen!!! He's always been very cute!!!

[@Perleyful]

THANK YOU Kevin !!! Your video was the perfect thing to watch after a very long and hard day's work, on the bus ride back home. It gave me just enough energy to crawl back to my small but comfortable den where my three feline friends were waiting with their usual deman--- uh...requests !! Loll Keep up the good work, you are truly a Blessed man !!

I get so anxious when Kevin has to take longer periods of time to upload videos. I'm only subscribed to a few channels including the Lion Whisperer. It fills my heart with joy to see how Kevin and the lions have progressed over time. The young man who also interacts with George and Yami is handsome like Kevin. I swear they both should do a GQ magazine with the lions. Bless you all. Best wishes.

[@graemepatterson6246]

Thanks :D

[@Kaff231]

I absolutely LOOOOVE when Kevin has the camera down to the level of the Lions because you get such a feeling of joy knowing they are so happy, healthy and loved. I feel like I'm right there in the midst of these beautiful creatures!! Up close and personal but in a safe place! LOL
