It never gets old seeing these beautiful lions. If I were Kevin, I'd never get anything done. I'd just want to hang out with the lions all day. Ginny keeps coming back to check on Vayetse and give him affection. I'm sure she was worried about her partner. I'm glad he is feeling better.

[@Debra.Justice]

I agree. I’d never leave the sanctuary. I’d want to hang out with the animals all day.

[@LindaC616]

I follow A chimpanzee sanctuary, and if one of the chimps wants to play with them even though they're separated by caging, they drop what they're doing and play with them. Sometimes that means doing a perimeter walk around their 2 and a 1/2 acre enclosure. Several times a day! I couldn't think of anything more fun.

​@@mycomps5749Kevin you are amazing 🦁🦁🦁

[@rhianevans7189]

Hi Kevin Many thanks for another video of walks with lions. He looks better in all fairness. These big cats never cease to amaze me. I just love these wild cats in their natural habitat and not just locked in chains. They know you and have learnt to trust you over the years as they relate to pets that you have at home but on a much larger scale. Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x

[@yvonnebraybrooke5842]

It never does does it. 👍Could watch these lions, leopards, hyenas all day!! 🙏♥️

[@sherrylovesee2653]

And the Lion will lie down with the lamb. The relationship between the Lions and Kevin is so amazing. Can't say I wouldn't enjoy having that kind of friendship with the King of the jungle. ❤

[@eamonahern7495]

I love how bobcat came running up to say hello.

[@melissamoreau4097]

You don't realize how big these cats are until they are near Kevin, i'm amazed by it. They are so beautiful, i love the videos ❤

[@kekedream]

Great to see Ginny's energy like that at her age. And golden Vayetse looking beautiful in the golden hour, love him!

[@rsj2027]

Kevin your 🦁 Lions will never, ever hurt you. I respect Ya'll for rescuing and rehabilitating these magnificent animals. Now if we could get people the same way hmm 🤔 lol 😂

[@martha7990]

You are the king of lions…how much protection ,dedication,patient and love for these animals,which made respect you.God protect you and bless you always 😊.

[@auntiedottieb6974]

It is so cool to see how well these guys blend in with the grass.

[@joannecooper-ih7ji]

My favourite thing is the way the lions communicate with you its amasing to listen to thank you for all your videos i really really enjoy them all

The LORD has blessed you, Kevin, with an amazing gift to be able to bond, communicate with these magnificent creatures!! Thank you for educating us !😊

[@Debra.Justice]

His ability to bond with these animals is truly a gift from God.

[@Couturestroke]

One day we will❤🙏

[@jurgen951]

This has nothing to do with a "god" or "lord", but rather a man who's dedicated hours, months and years to be able to interact with these wild animals. Saying that this is a "gift from god" removes all that as if he got it on a silver platter.

[@karherineware3508]

I sure hope Vayetse gets back to 100%. I know you and the team will do everything possible for him. It's good to see Ginny so happy too! I've been wondering how they would adjust to Livy being gone. Animals are so good at adjusting, and just living in the present. We humans could take a lesson. Thank you for all that you do!💖🦁

[@LindaC616]

That Kenyan leopard looks amazing! And against that purple (what is it? Gorse?)!

[@monicastarke9462]

I love seeing the lovely Lions! I miss watching them in the morning vs the evening. I’m a bit sad because no more lions will come to the camp. I miss all the lions who have passed. We love you Vayetse, Ginny, Meg, Gabby, Bobcat, Thor’s group, George, Yame, Icurus, Naiobi and the others and hyenas and the black beauty leopards! ❤❤❤ Thank You KR!

[@ccyynn808]

Another fabulous enrichment walk with Vayetse and Ginny. It was great to see them both. Vayetse looking as regal as ever. Ginny just as gorgeous. Purrrfect way to start the weekend ♥️✨🙏. Thank you, thank you 🤙

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

Always wonderful to see Vayetse and Ginny out and about. So glad all the tests came back negative and that V's moods have improved. Thank you and your staff for all you do and sharing these glimpses into your sanctuary. 🐾🐾

[@tabbyb4421]

Nice to see Vayetse being a mellow fellow. Perhaps it was just his way of mourning. Ginny is always a card...at least she spared the tires this time!

[@jaideepbura1936]

The bond you share with these beautiful creatures is amazing, thank you for giving us this incredible insight.

[@tinaatwater2791]

I'm loving the closeups Kevin! You had so many beautiful closeup shots of their faces today and Ginny and Vyetsi have such beautiful facial expressions! Watching them roll on their backs in the sun and have such happiness on their faces was awesome, I watched my dog do the same thing this morning!😂😅 Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful animals with us. I feel privileged to be let into this wonderful world of yours. May you and your staffs work continue to be blessed. ❤

[@user-nb8ng4zo1b]

Thank you Kevin for explaining about V's skinny appearance , I was worried about him.

[@ermahamilton5001]

watching your interactions with these wild beasts versus others is that you realize (although it doesn't seem so at times) their wild instinct and respect that part of them, others are in it for show

[@dprich100]

Another great video Kevin. Ginny cracks me up. She's a ball of energy, especially for an old lady.

[@user-zq6nl1wx4z]

I was just watching the leopards. And the new video flashed up. I will enjoy it what ever it is about. I love them all. Xx

[@betsybarnicle8016]

I was blessed to see a wild black panther drinking from the Peace River (west coast of Florida) at dawn when I was on a camping trip. No one would believe me until years later a ranger said that they were native (though rare) along the west coast of Florida, with territory along the Gulf going west into Mexico.

[@patriciatennery3021]

Kevin, I have so much appreciation for you and what you dedicate yourself to doing. I’m 78 but just drool like a cat when you take them out for a stroll. Love❤

[@Buff_Dave_Oprtr]

What's so cool,is,you can actually "see" how much the lions enjoy these enrichment walks. They are so healthy and happy! Good Job Kev!

[@Jo-np3yt]

Thank you Kevin for sharing your family. Such incredible & breathtaking creatures. I still miss Amy as know your family does...

[@kathleenorr9237]

Happy to see Vayetse is getting back to his usual self

[@samuslightsuit]

9:24 This 6 seconds of Ginny just shows your affection and care for these animals. I can't wait to see you become a full-time rehabilitator to help wild animals get released again.

[@viviennedearlove5426]

What a wonderful walk this week. I am amazed at the beautiful mane that Vyetsi has. When it was fluffed up it was spectacular ❤. Gunny of course is a beautiful lioness, full of energy and antics. Thank you for the insights into the interaction of the lions and you. Really enjoyed the lesson. 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗

Awesome to know that Vayetse is in better condition. The interaction with Ginny is also very cool to see. Thank you very much for sharing this video with us, making us feel a bit better about an otherwise challenging start of the weekend (looking forward to a more predictable day at work).

Vayetsi is my favorite lion because of his story. God bless all the animals in the world.🤗❤👍🙏

[@brynscourfield398]

Ginny is so calm and lovely. Have you had your mane trimmed Kevin 😃

I was so happy to see Vayetse and his condition. He is my fave out of all the lions..he is MAGNIFICENT! Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@treychrs]

LOve the walks. Ginney and V look so good and I love seeing the close up of the Lions faces--Ginney is so pretty. I miss Livy and her antics that she brought to that pride.

[@amandahartsock8003]

I haven’t been able to keep up on videos for a long time, can you tell me what happened with Livy? I’m sad to not see her. These three are my favorites.

[@sallypuz6697]

After introducing him to ❤Livy❤ and ❤Ginny❤, you were able to watch ❤Vayetse❤ blossom. The quality of life you provide Vayetse and all your beautiful furry friends allows them to overcome any health issues they may encounter and ensures they are happy and enjoying life to the fullest. ❤Ginny❤ is clear proof of this. She is full of energy. Happy that handsome ❤Vayetse❤ is doing better. Seeing the three of you enjoying every minute of this walk is a real pleasure for the eyes. We miss you ❤Livy❤. Thank you for this fantastic and very informative video as always.😊

[@novalong]

Having seen old videos of Vatetse, Livy and Ginny, it hit me again, that poor Livy went to Heaven.😢 Its wonderful to see Vayetse feeling better & treating Ginny nice, and how much fun they had on their walk. A wild black leopard, that'll be exciting to see!🥰🦁

[@serengetilion]

Don't be saying the lion went to heaven, you can't know that, you don't know that because we have no proof heaven or hell exists.

Another fantastic video. I absolutely adore Mr. Big and Ginny. Glad his health check is good. His hips remind me a little of George’s protuberances. Hope he’ll continue to do well. I loved the close up of Ginny’s face and seeing her rub her face with her paw. These animals just melt my heart and I wish I could hug them. Thank you Kevin for your hard work and dedication to protecting these magnificent animals. You are so loved and appreciated. Much love and respect from Tennessee USA. 🥰🦁

That's the first thing I thought of, as well, was how similar his hips were to George's. I hope Vayetsy is back to his old self again soon ❤🦁

@@karlamackey4675 I hope he’ll be ok. After seeing how Bongani is deteriorating and losing Siam, I don’t think I can stand anymore heartache now. And I can imagine how difficult it is for Kevin.

I have loved Veyetse ever since the first video him and his brother. He is my favorite. I wish I could get a clay mold of one of his enormous front paws.

[@lindaarcher9150]

The female Lions are so demonstrative and have a hilarious, keen sense of humor... plus dignity. The males are majestic, surprisingly quick and need comforting a lot. The males are very tender hearted, sensitive animals beneath their grandeur. I loved, loved, loved watching Ginny run in this video. Best running I have ever seen in the videos ever! I also love the way you are an expert at keeping the animals so healthy and beautiful. 1st prize winners. Beautiful coats, muscles and skeletons. You care about their spirits. Lions always seem to know they are being filmed. On camera. They look straight into the eye of the camera a lot. Good performances as if eating up the adulation. (although they also want to demolish the cameras if possible. Good sports nevertheless.)

[@angelmartin7310]

Lionesses are total joys to be around, I absolutely love them. So affectionate and silly .

[@lindaarcher9150]

@@angelmartin7310 Silly is the word I was looking for. Are you around them yourself?

[@sandarahcatmom9897]

Maybe Vayetse has been grieving Livvy and just wanted to be left alone for a while... Just a thought given that humans tend to forget that animals have emotional/spiritual lives too.

Nice haircut Kev! It seems like the lions would recognize the other animal's smell seeing that their ability to smell is so much greater than ours. Wouldn't they be smelling the other lions, leopards & hyenas on a daily basis due to their great sense of smell?
