No guns, sticks: Lion Whisperer deals with lions their way

Early in his career, Kevin Richardson was told his style of interacting with the lions was dangerous. Richardson believed that he should relate to the lions the way they do with each other, and communicate in their language, without using weapons. The Lion Whisperer's method and skill sets have evolved, he said, to mutually benefit the lions.

I’m so happy that I came across this interview. I’ve been subscribed to Kevin’s channel for years and it’s cool that I’m finally finding out about his life before the lions.

[@gypsyfolkart]

It's nice to know more about him, and how his life was lead to his purpose.

[@IndomitableT]

gypsy hayes. May I recommend his book: Part of the Pride. I suppose you will like that too. You will get even more background about the topics in this interview. Enjoy📖🧐🦁🐾

[@kathleenkearse8770]

This talk is different from the other one. Its more real and Kevin looks more in his element.

[@kathleenkearse8770]

I like this one.

[@brunosbay7671]

This a very unique, bright and caring animal lover

[@noniemac]

Kevin is talking about respect of the lions. And Kevin has deep, profound respect for all of his lions, which set the stage, so to speak, for all of his relationships.

[@suej3959]

I’d love to ask Kevin if it has ever happened that one of his lions has become aggressive and the other lions have come to his defence. My heart is in my mouth whenever I see him playing with animals that could so easily kill him.

[@kateterure9824]

Great interviews. It's interesting to hear Kevin talk more in depth about the animals and their behaviour.

[@deemariedubois4916]

Love you Kevin. Great interview.

[@sandistroud7305]

Love all your interviews with Kevin.

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

quote of the year for me "eye contact is good but steering is bad" am so glad Kevin started talking myths and theories.. i own a super aggressive dog who lives amongst a violent pack and so i fully understand Kevin.. fantastic dude

[@Brace67]

RottieShep CALIBRE The word is “staring” as in “The young boy was staring at the beautiful car”. The word “steering” would be used as in “The captain was steering a true course toward our destination”. Big difference.

[@KarenRiffe]

These are really great videos. I like getting to know about Kevin and his life.

[@michaelambrosano938]

Kevin IS the man!! I'm hooked on his channel and his good sense and love for the MOST beautiful of all the big cats,..the Lions,..especially a Lioness!! Such a beautiful creature

[@michelleschmidt2425]

I love this clip because it tells a simple truth. You are being moved to a remote culture and you don't know what do you do? You watch listen and learn. What do they do in certain circumstances? What are the rules or laws? What do they eat? What is the social structure? What Kevin has done is learned the rules and cultures of the lion society and as a courtesy he follows them. It really isn't rocket science it's respect. He isn't interacting under his cultures rules because they don't matter here. This is about the morays of lions and pride dynamics.

[@user-hu9sk5cm6t]

Beautifulness

[@waynestirling7231]

Kevin I would like to know your reaction to people who communicate with animals with their minds. I've watched a couple of shows on thought communication by Anna Breytenbach and if you believe in that have you done the same. By the way live your videos, I'd love to go back to Africa some day. Stay Well.

[@druvik2052]

Shoutout to Alex Honnold ;)

[@helenapaixao1333]

😍❤️💘❤️‍🔥eu amo muito Kevin ❤

[@jennifertsai495]

Watching this interview again after tiger king..

[@jennifertsai495]

I needed to cleanse myself

[@helenapaixao1333]

Minha vida vem me salvar salva meu coração 💓 que sofre por te 🦁💓🦁💘💘💘👬

[@calmiller3024]

We so rarely listen to that little voice that is telling us to stop what we are doing before it's too late. Kevin hears and listens now.

[@jeremysmith9694]

You mean the Holy Ghost?

[@b2tall239]

I just let my cat do whatever she wants, and when I see "the look".....I go away :-)

[@bkb04g]

Graham crossing his legs rather aggressively

[@judymccoy5204]

Bryan Burns: Graham is a pretty unlikable person! I won't be watching any more of his channel!

[@dalemcnamee2427]

So, this is more important than Graham's information and wisdom in dealing with lions... He also does the same with leopards and hyenas... All of them were hand raised by him so they aren't as "wild" as other ones, like the one that attacked the 22 year old woman via an open car window... So, you all can go to what ever JSW/PC whiny You Tube channels are available... I appreciate what Graham has to say and always learn something about the lions and their world and how they see things...

[@IndomitableT]

Dale McNamee. Euhm ... are you confusing Kevin and Graham in your response?

[@dalemcnamee2427]

@@IndomitableT My mistake... I was responding to Judy MC Coy... That's why I mentioned Graham... BTW, I thought that the interview was rather good...

[@IndomitableT]

Dale McNamee. Good to know, thank you. I thought this interview was good too. It is cut into 19 pieces as far as I have been able to find up until now. I estimate it to have been about two hours and rather in depth as well.👌🏽🐾🦁

[@mahdiabdou2551]

Kevin c'est mon rêve d'embrasser un lion ou bien une tigresse avant de mourir

[@AvB.83]

People tend to think they know so damn much about animals, giving other people advice on how to deal with them and all that when they have hardly any clue at all. How could anyone claim to understand lions when most people, including their owners, hardly understand dogs, let alone cats?

[@connieroberts595]

Kevin knows what he's doing. I have two large house cats and Kevin is right with what he says. I have a very good relationship with my cats with much love. You have to see things in their eyes and their minds. Humans try to be domineering and go about it all wrong. Once they know you understand their ways and quit being a dictator type, they will love you and do most anything for you as long as it goes along also with the cat world.They will develop their own way of communicating with you. Yes they love and yes they have feelings and emotions.

[@AvB.83]

Exactly what I intended to say. Kevin is one of the VERY few people who actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to cats (or hyenas)

[@patriciacatino3891]

Kevin has a gift with Lions. They have a mutual respect and love for each other

[@latinrapinstrumentals]

So did the bear whisperer, til he got torn apart by one.

[@judihart9658]

☝️they know.before you do.#animal instincts.they love him because he's not an idiot.obviously.💖💪.👏👍😎

[@judymccoy5204]

Garham's voice sounds like he is on a recording being played on slo mo. Hard to listen to! Can't believe he is to interview others! Will not watch any more of his interviews. Only watched because it was about Kevin Richardson!

[@Ben2bwild]

We watch for the guests. I don't think anyone watches to hear Graham.

[@pankajpatel1109]

Kevin is one cool dude!!!

[@lilil7351]

I'm pretty sure Kevin was carrying a gun in one of the videos.

[@humaidhannooman4902]

Pepper spray

[@DolliePampiloIcao]

Know what a gun and a pepper spray looks like.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

It is too bad that Kevin ultimately chose to make certain videos for only the viewers who can pay a monthly price to see them and those who can't sometimes get "edited" videos. Many fans who loyally supported his causes when and how much they could were shown no appreciation when he started his KZbin Memberships thus keeping certain content from them. I hope he one day returns to letting all his paying fans see all the videos he produces.

[@salanco1648]

Its $5 a month and we get 2 videos a month. Sadly people will only donate if they have an incentive to. Considering he puts so so many videos up for free and has for years, you really shouldn't complain.

[@guyfanno1]

You think what he does is cheap? He has sponsors but he has a lot of bills to pay. You feel hard done by because you don't get full videos? lol. Suck it up and pay for the membership or just appreciate that you get any videos at all..
