I've seen cubs and lionesses jump and play, but never seen two grown up males play like this. They are like kids, so happy and playful. They obviously loved it.

The dedication it takes to give these animals a life with stimulation, and chance to see the savana. Can’t be done that often. I tip my hat for your work sir

[@Nino-bu9mj]

I have seen george and yameh grow from being rescue cubs, to full grown lions. Such a privilege. Thanks kev

"You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't." I understand the difficulty for decision making on conservation. You're not going to please everyone, never. But we're all here to learn. Hats off for you guys. 👏🏻

[@WarriorsSon]

The proof of your successful approach is in the state of the lions sense of choice and freedom in how they move and behave. They know you genuinely want to help them. They are accepting your reasonable control in order to feel free as often as you can do it. Bravo Kevin !

[@jewelv]

It's like going back to childhood when we had fun in the mud except that our parents didn't laugh all the time 😂 We have to stay young in our hearts this is the lesson given to us by our favorite lions today!🥰

Kev, critics are narcissists who haven't achieved anything. They bring nothing to the table. Thank you for all you have done in educating and caring for Lions and wildlife.

It was wonderful to see these two beautiful lions out running around on a rainy day. I can't imagine how hot they get with those big, fluffy manes. So, when it's cool & rainy the lions seem to really perk up! I love to see Georgie keeping up with Yame: he's such a trooper! And they both gave me quite a laugh with their antics!😄

People who think animals don't have emotion, who could look at this video and not see their pure joy in running and playing.

[@neilcastro836]

I totally 💯%‼️ all animals have emotions and communicate, all animals have a language and Almighty Allah had created them and has given them guidance and how to live. Examples are getting in the Qur'an. For wanting interested.

Humans are animals. LOL

[@movieclipoperator]

These are just mindless beats, this is exactly the kind of thinking that causes human fatalities , thinking that these magnificent creatures have emotions , so we hear once in awhile about someone who got their a$$ eaten by their big cat they were raising as a pet, stop appropriating human emotions to these mindless beats.

[@brendatravis7041]

@@movieclipoperator I never said they should be kept as pets. No one should ever forget these are wild animals. That being said, it doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings. Anyone who has ever owned a cat or dog can see that they feel.

"Damned if you do, damned if you don't".....boy, isn't that the truth with so many things!?!

So sooo happy to se this boys having fun 🦁🦁

[@KatherineUribe-1]

George and Yame are such great lions! They are absolutely gorgeous, in their prime, and are very sweet, personable lions. Both have had their issues. George, because of improper nutrition when he was little, has had serious ailments but you'd never know by his temperament or his willingness to try everything his brother does! And Yame had a chemical imbalance a couple of years ago that required medication. However, he's been weaned off the meds and he's back to his sweet, loving self. Amazing lions! And the poster boys for lion conservation: every single lion matters. Bless you, Kevin and The Lion Whisperer Team, for all of your hard work, dedication and love for all of the animals in your care. Thank you for these videos that bring the messages and issues of conservation to us. You'll never know how many hearts have been touched and minds have been inspired to join the conservation efforts by your videos. I am certainly one of them! 💕🦁💕
