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.

[@deadman1061]

Its really hard to understand why someone would plainly dislike such fantastic videos. Personally, I can just sit and watch this all day. So much love!

[@oppoh739]

it will never cease to amaze me that the king of the jungle can roll over on its back and play kitten with a human being. absolutely amazing

[@LifelsGreat]

m3luk h thankfully they’re social animals. Really wish tigers weren’t so independent so we could see something like this with them. Both such incredible animals and my favorite!

[@stella3265]

I agree, my cat would play with me, but she would attack me with all fours with claws out. Think i would be safer with meg amy then with my cat, who passed away a year ago.

[@kevinramos4168]

vin 950 I think it’s lions mane

[@iansucladen5805]

vin 950 It's simple actually, it's because they act like King

[@emekaericadonis3782]

@vin 950,Stop this your Asain nonsensical, stupid, childish, ridiculous and irritating arguments of a docile cat like Tigar been the king of the Jungle. LION has been given the name king of the Jungle for as old as the world. And it has also been proven beyond every reasonable doubt that LION is stronger than tiger in all ramifications. For the fact that tigar is your god can't change the fact that LION is stronger than tiger your god and remains the KING OF THE JUNGLE and as such the KING OF your god. LION IS both physically, mentality and spiritually more Grand, beautiful, Regal and Royalty than your pathetic looking tigar your god. LION IS THE KING OF THE JUNGLE.

[@catwhisperer911]

I believe a person's humanity can be measured in great part by the way he/she treats animals.

[@rai4119]

Jeff Schwartz Not really. A racist can still love animals.

[@pronerd5761]

Jeff Schwartz I agree. considering I've heard a lack of empathy for animals could mean a lack of empathy for people, I definitely think it shows alot about someone's humanity.

[@Frosty_coyote]

Grace Gary ofc you bring that up

[@rai4119]

Problem?

[@janetdonald9801]

Jeff Schwartz that's why I became a vegan😍🐷🐮🐥🐇🐣

[@m.johnson7344]

The rapport he has built with these animals is simply amazing. You can tell he really dedicated his time, effort, and practically his life to these magnificent creatures. Keep doing solid work Kevin. I'm a fan.

[@lorijohnson1478]

I love seeing how far George has come. He's a lovely old boy, his mane is full, he's filled out and he certainly doesn't let his disability get in the way of showing lionly love to his human friend.

[@aussiee23]

Poor georgey.. hopefully he’s as happy as he looks and he’s still coping as good as he is here :) love the work Kev mate. You’re a top bloke

[@brendathompson1400]

By watching you one day. I got so hooked and realized how beautiful lions really are

[@Mark-zd5bd]

This is the only channel where i pretty much ''like'' every video. Must have happened over 100 times by now. Thank you so much for these hearthwarming video's!

[@ros.o1431]

Mark van den Eijk Same i love youtube cuz this type of videos

[@elizabethcarlson4628]

Do you know any other channels like this? I love this one so much.

[@Mark-zd5bd]

I wish i did. I think it is one of a kind because kevins ''workmethode'' is unique worldwide.

[@LolasparkleMSP]

You deserve all the love in the world ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@locs13000]

Marshmallows 01 yeah I know I do it's just hard because some people don't see the true potential in me

[@DeepsongProductions]

Marshmallows 01 Thank you so much, you're very kind.

[@Riververchi]

I woke up to another Monday of loneliness and emptiness. But then I remembered I saved Kevin's videos, I have not watched yet, exactly for this. And here I am, watched this and feeling better. I swear, if this is not magic, I do not know what is. Kevin. You and your animals are the only thing that still hold me together. (and my cats)

[@beelee4580]

How are you doing these days?

[@sherrihinton8567]

You are so right on

[@dennysmith7862]

Hang in there kiddo... cats in whatever form are the greatest comfort givers... big hug...

[@finsyabela]

Hello...you are not alone..

[@marilyncatalano6478]

You've just told my story. Really. I'm not just jumping on the bone. This happens alot in my existence. It's not really a life. It's more like an existence. Every video gets me out of my head and into something worth watching cause I know I'll feel better for a little while at least. I suffer from chronic depression and it's real, not made up and it's deplorable. Thanks for your help.

[@orange69ful]

can someone get the nobel peace prize for work with animals informing the human race of such lovely creatures if so i nominate kev

[@marilyncatalano6478]

I so agree. Really. What a wonderful thought. What better way to share the plight of the lions and more importantly, to get some funding for Kevin's lions and bring awareness to the rapidly decreasing numbers of Lions all over the world. I cannot think of a better person for this prize and the money awarded would really help get the word out about the abominable actions on canned hunting. Wake up you Nobel Peace people.

[@Lora-Lynn]

Your haircut looks great... Lots of lion love!

[@IBroLLyISePhIrOtH]

love me as well?

[@jurgensodendaal5114]

Lora Lynn hahaha good one

[@rickkirkpatrick394]

Which lion got a haircut?

[@glenrosesison935]

🤣🤣🤣

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

This guy is amazing! The work he does is so underrated

[@LionWhispererTV]

We appreciate this lovely comment and we hope you're enjoying the channel! (LionWhispererTVTeam)

[@MBBLJ]

In total agreement 🙏🙌👌❤

[@miabrv614]

Let s share the message!!

[@TheBlondeLioness]

I didn't realise Ischa was in this pride. I've never come across Rafiki before. What lovely animals. Georgie has his sore hind legs, yet he still rolls around, looking cute and getting in the truck.

[@emilys8971]

The George and Yame looked so relaxed while being transported

[@terrellnicolel]

I absolutely adore George, he's become one of my favorites

[@antprice8826]

How can 85 people put a thumbs down, amazing man & amazing cats, what’s not to like? without Kevin these cats would have had a miserable existence, wonderful videos 💕💕💕💕💕

[@paulinefollett3099]

Tick removal looks like a never ending process. Well done for treating the lions so they may have a good quality of life.

[@Mamaji222]

Oh my gosh, was that a tick on your shirt?! I love watching the lions lay on top of you. And I love how you talk to them with so much love pouring out, and that lion noise you make and when you call the hyenas stinky bums and talk in a high pitch to them :). You've added so much joy to my life. Thank you so much Kevin and furry friends 💞 Some day, when I have a lot of money, I am going to donate to your sanctuary 💜

[@LionWhispererTV]

Kevin wants to know what YOU want to see next on the channel! Comment below with your suggestions!! 🦁 🦁 🦁

[@jasonrivers1819]

The Lion Whisperer im a teen and i wanna become just like u, can u make a video explaining how to make that happen?

[@mirasolperez4321]

The Lion Whisperer can you post the first time livy, vayetsi and ginny first met. pls. thanks

[@peppaaki6121]

The Lion Whisperer I just want to see a lion crying 😇😇 before i go to sleep i watch the lion whisperer video. Thats why i love lion now. 😇

[@noelvermillion6642]

The Lion Whisperer more Hyenas :)

[@l.p.2233]

I want to see Vayetse, Livy, and Jinny

[@nothinphasesme5573]

R.I.P Ischa and Rafiki, was great to see them is these earlier videos 😊

[@radeyahapesin297]

I love the way you treat animals, you treat them like they're your children. I love it.

[@antprice8826]

These people who put a thumbs down on these videos, why? Grow a pair and explain yourselves in the comments, would be interesting to read your reasons, keep up the good work and videos Kevin, amazing 💕💕🇬🇧

[@irenemeschede9979]

I do sooooo love George. He is truly amazing. One awesome fella.

[@emekaericadonis3782]

You're really an extraordinary human being. A really good fella and a Great guy. I love lions but you've made me to love them completely. Keep it up Brother. Respect.

[@thecaperingcat8170]

Ticks - the bane of my existence. Makes me shudder.

[@jamiegodman715]

I'm glad you show some of the maintenance you do for the lions and not just always the walks you take them on. I'd like to see a video during feeding time as well. Keep up the amazing work you do Kevin!

[@antprice8826]

In an ideal world these amazing animals would be running free and left alone but we don’t live in an ideal world, this is the best care they will ever get, Kevin does an amazing job and I applaud him, they are happy and contented, you can see the love between them. 💕🇬🇧

[@helenclarke4735]

I'd never seen lions rolling around on the ground until I started watching this channel. But when Kevin and Rodney did that cultural thing and they stopped to look a wild lion, all you could see were it''s paws, it was lying on it's back.

[@sallypuz6697]

I love this video like all the others for that matter ! The ticks, a real nightmare ! What an incredible spectacle of love and trust !! Fantastic organization ! Thank you Kevin for the respect and cares that you give to your precious friends !!!!

[@KatherineUribe-1]

George and Yame are so grown up, so gorgeous!💝🦁💝🦁💝

[@patshhi4620]

Georgie’s eyes are so beautiful.

George and Yame have always been my favourites. Give them a big kiss from me (Andrea) love from Liverpool England xxx

[@stella3265]

Bobcat is my favorite of all the males.

[@sofiaskakalovaw4137]

Please, live forever ..... you are so pure and kind and down to earth ...

[@repentantsoul4213]

Their ‘roaring’ always gives me chills! Love the mighty lion! No wonder Jesus picked the lion to be His noble representative! The Lion of Judah❤️. Love from Texas 🇨🇱

[@BoyoLevity]

These videos are helping me become a better person, Thanks Kev! love you and all of your furry family

[@rydstromdecarolis3087]

Miss Ishka, haven't seen her in a while. Best video ever, she allowing you to play with her newborn cubs. We will never see that miracle again.

[@kissalara]

I'm very happy that Yame and George are at the sanctuary, thanks for this video. Like ❤

[@AmericanInfidel2008]

LOVE the overhead video that shows the lions in the transport vehicles.

[@andreah1104]

Love & prayers to George and Yame

[@adegboladeadebote754]

So cute. Just saw the video with George and Yame as cubs and now fast forward to this one and they're all grown up

[@raheemm9830]

[@aliciatorres2794]

[@nubianmoiselle3797]

[@noriahovden613]

[@jordyncollins1148]

Glenn Quagmire LOL only if i can get to africa jk

[@sherrihinton8567]

Your doing something productive and learning

[@EmissaryOfSmeagol]

The video quality has gone up over the past few videos. I take this as a sign that the channel, and by virtue the sanctuary organization is doing well as a whole, and that's wonderful to know.

[@seatin5332]

Love your dedication. The whole package in taking care of the Lions. More love and subs everyone. Share!

[@swobbels7168]

Awwwwww I love this channel!

[@vn8375]

Nothing better than big fully grown lions fighting each other for your love and attention. Awesome.

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

"Ow... my face, thank you very much." Kev is so sassy I love him

[@patriciacatino3891]

Love the care and love kevin has for the lions and he is such a hard worker and dedicated to them

[@SchnitzeIkuchen]

So funny to see the loading of the lions, they get so excited when the truck comes to pick them up.

[@Jor_dan.]

This man has the best job in the world. I don't care what anyone says, no matter what job you do, it will never be anything like being able to work with lions.

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Lol "the Lion vehicle". Love it.

[@sherrihinton8567]

Kevin and the beautiful Beasts of our Earth, thank you for making my life better

[@gypsyfolkart]

I'm hooked on this guy and his everything"ness". It's all I've been watching.

[@Nino-bu9mj]

George and Yame are so big now! all grown up, Lions grow so fast!

[@bari2883]

Can we appreciate what ease he gets the cats into the trucks. Not an easy task by any stretch.

[@khizarhayat2937]

Use mustard seed oil in a 75% ratio with kerosene oil 25% ratio and spray or massage it on the lions skin.Its a conventional treatment 100 % guaranteed effectively used on horses cows dogs here in Pakistan.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Are the ticks more abundant because of the rains? Your lions always look so lovely and well-groomed!

[@happytrails1963]

Always look forward to every new video! Georgey really seemed playful. Glad to see he is doing much better.

[@olivepeters5473]

The bond between Kelvin 'nd the lions is d best i 've ever seen, U 're Certainly d best Kelvin👌👌👌

[@DaniMartVtbr]

Your Life Is A Game! Transport Lions from A to B in under 5 Minutes, dodge all Escaped Hyenas and Crazy Tourists along the way. Bonus Points if you collect Wildebeest Poop and Meat Treats for the Lions in your Transport. Levels get more difficult once you start transporting more lions than your vehicle can bare, or when certain lions develop a stubborn attitude and won't load with certain other lions, causing multiple trips required. WHO WOULD PLAY THAT? *The Lion Whisperer: The Video Game*

[@pronerd5761]

DanMartinParanormal omg true haha I'd play it

[@imrekalman9044]

You should #AskMeg about it! :D

[@yvonnehalstead6189]

Imre Kalman doya know what amazed me watching this is how he built up the trust between him and them as they could turn around and Mawl him to death I would not like to see that he's an great guy and I'm just wondering if I went to pet meg would she let me, can u answer that

[@imrekalman9044]

I don't know. After spending time there working with her as a volunteer she probably would. All I know is that if I had a few extra grand on me I'd have already booked a flight to Johannesburg to #AskMeg in person. ^^ (And to visit Cheetah Experience a few hours ride from there.)

[@edcrfvtgbyhnujmikolpqazwsx]

I could see myself playing that game, but never doing it in the real world like Kevin does. He is a legend.

[@wcorona5810]

Kevin Richardson is the KING of Lion King

[@SuCcEABC8]

LOVE THIS FAMILY

[@J24J]

Great video as usual! It's nice to see how you manage to do some things at the sanctuary. But no matter what you choose to show us, it's always welcomed and appreciated. Much love.

[@daisyguzman8481]

Kevin, you do such great work with these beautiful lions, the lions are so lucky to have a saint like you and your beloved staff. Lions are my favorite big cat, love all big cats including the little house cats. Say hello to Big Boy for me.

[@Anastasia-sp8te]

George and yame grew so much!Handsome boys ❤️🙏🦁

[@LionWhispererTV]

We 100% agree with you! (LionWhispererTVTeam)

[@mamaveros]

Soo cute he was a trooper ! Lil boost please dad!!👑👑👑👑👑💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Princess was like ...the door is not secure dad! Nope will hop over instead...

[@theresek9863]

Ticks are from some hell dimension, I'm so glad the lions have you to take care of them.

[@kiritokirivaya7693]

unbelievable that 3 days ago I found you on KZbin and I watched half of your videos and documentaries which have you in. Just thank you for caring for these amazing creatures

[@KittenBowl1]

Every video I watch, I’m amazed how big these lions are. I can feel how big they’re compared to Kevin. Lions are indeed very big cats!!

[@weirdoguy]

find it funny at the 9.03 min mark he is talking about the ticks and one is crawling on his shirt ha ha ha

[@SchwarzerRegan]

I wouldn't say that's a tick, perhaps some small bugger. Stink bug maybe.

[@loulouwillis5648]

They've gotten so big and look so beautiful.

[@LionWhispererTV]

They have indeed! (LionWhispererTVTeam)

[@ellierowe8163]

[@eileenconnor08]

Who on earth doesn't like this! Who agrees that Kevin Richardson, is a cut above all animal behaviourist s?🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

[@Jack-fg2kx]

Kevin, you're an inspiration to us all. Keep doing what you love and these amazing videos to share with us.

[@sharonsenar6082]

I can watch your videos everyday..without the feeling of being boring ..I really love your channel..I almost watch it for more than an hour..Godbless you Kevin and I am always praying for your good health and of course a good health for The lions..love lots from Philippines🇵🇭

[@krisaaron5771]

Having picked ticks off our dogs and cats, the sight of Kevin doing exactly the same thing with 400 lb lions has me laughing so hard I spilled my drink!! Never thought that lions need to be de-ticked (ticked off?), too, just like our pets. If allowed, I know they'd be in the house and hogging the couch and bed, or getting underfoot in the kitchen and begging for treats. Big kittehs! VERY big kittehs!

[@losmith2496]

I love hearing the roaring in the background!

[@cofaynomilk]

I stumbled across these videos. I have been intrigued for weeks now. I come home I watch and think of your compassion for these animals. I myself am not doing enough love. Thank you for the refresher! God bless your works.

[@jannpalay9333]

Hello Mr.Richardson. I hope you are doing well. More power to you and may God bless you and your family.

[@Rokstar12341234]

[@maryharris9863]

we can keep watching and share.. Kevin, you're truly the blessed, be blessed...

[@petuniafuzz9083]

I wish I could contribute to your cause. You and your staff are really doing a wonderful thing. I think it brings a smile to God's face the way you care for some of his most beautiful creations. Thank you.

[@brirecinos5259]

I wanna see a whole video of Kevin just playing with the Lions anyone else?

[@natalee217]

I love those big cats. So beautiful.

[@Mike-xp8zc]

The fact that you can get the king of the jungle to roll over and at like a playful kitten really says a lot. Alot of animals trust and really like you and it's freaking awesome!

[@monicavazquez3744]

Thank you for the lovely work and all the love you give to these animals! You look great as always Kev!

[@powerofone1645]

When it comes to lion care Kevin you tick all boxes. :)
