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 KZhead 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.
If I were a billionaire, I'd give Kevin all the money he needs to keep these stunning creatures safe and happy forever. Lovely to see Vayetse, Livvy and Jenny and I can't get enough of the adorable Amy and Meg. I love Kevin's work to bits. His videos are soothing and truly beautiful.
Watching these videos just kinda takes me away from the world for a few minutes. Pure joy
mat mul exactly how I feel 💖
mat mul yep it is really peaceful pure and just wonderful
I so agree..I love these videos, they make me so happy. Plus it's cool to learn about the lions
Right on
100BILLION% joy in my heart watching Him with the Beautiful creation of GoD :). Great Job Sir!
The animals Kevin is taking care of couldn't be in a better place. They have food, shelter, loving and a huge recreational area, and medical coverage. Perfect.
I'm so sad Kevin is getting older.. This world needs him so much.
He's still a viable human being with much wisdom.
And he’s only in his 40s...lots of years left :)
True. No one can or will replace him. N no one needs him more than the animals.
Calm down he’s not that old yet haha
Exactly , i wish him have a long life , wealth, happiness ,unending compassion of animals and have courage to support them
Wish more people saw the importance of what you are doing.
Thank you so much Kerr! We are trying to spread the message as best we can :) (LionWhispererTVTeam)
He is a true man.
Kangaroo
@@kangaroo9540 yup
I don't know if I understand quite what the point is of Kevin Richardson. He's not allowing the Lions to breed so he's not continuing the gene pool. He's not allowing them to hunt so they don't do that which is part of their natural behavior. And there's no Cubs for them to bring up which is also part of their behavior. So even though it's neat to see the Lions walking around and they're beautiful animals I don't quite see what the point is of his lion sanctuary. It's basically a zoo with lots of land but it's not even really a zoo cuz at least in zoos they're trying to keep the gene pool going.
i think this guy has the best life man...
We Agree! (LionWhispererTVTeam)
Johny Relax Agreed!
Johny Relax agreed
Johny Relax Agreed!
Johny Relax Right ? I would absolutely love to cuddle and bond with them .
2023: came to see Livy ( she passed away 2022). She was so beautiful and fun. I love seeing these 4 out walking together. Something magical to behold. 🇺🇸
Like bobcat, there’s just something about vayetse. He has so much love to give...when he lost mafumu his world collapsed and Livvy and Ginny probably saved him...he’s so beautiful....
You're exactly right!
I remember in The Lion Ranger documentary when Vayetse's best friend, Mufumu, died and how Vayetse just mourned and cried. It made me cry to see him so distressed. I remember when Kevin brought Livy and Ginny home to meet Vayetse and how nervous they all were. Then, two weeks later, they were all friends. I usually go for dark haired guys but I think Vayetse is so beautiful. He seems very different than Bobcat and you are right, his paws are huge! I will never get to roll on the ground with lions but I wish I could. They are amazing! When I am strested out, I watch lion whisperer tv and, suddenly, I feel happier. God bless you Kevin!😇
Yeah when Mafumu died I nearly cried, imagine how Kevin felt at the time, and they introduced Livy and Ginny Vayetsi was so scared he used Kevin as a meat shield and avoided eye contact, glad to see him so riveted
Yup I saw Kevin swept tears when mofumo died.... even Vayetsi suffered a Trauma from older lions causing him to be isolated.... that scene actually also made my heart ache... this Vayetsi now is much more magnificent than any other Lions....
Long live Kevin. Much respect to this true man.
Hear, hear!
Long live Kevin
long live the lion whisperer
long live!
Ben Hayat amen!
"I'm Vayetse 's forever.." Thats so adorable Kev... and indeed he is beautiful lion
Pushpika Jayatissa don’t say that to Bobcat
Bonded forever....father and son...
Vayetse has such cool hair
He's beautiful ❤️
I think you mean he has such a cool mane
mane* to be exact. However, I totally agree. :)
Yeah i agree, like 70's 80's rockstars hair style👌🤗
@@unique05 that's exactly what I got from watching him. He's has sexy rockstar hair
Vayetse is my favourite, I remember when the poor guy lost his brother. I'm so happy to see him doing so well, growing into this magnificent creature. Thank you Kavin
kevin*
Wow Vayetse Livvy and Jenny have come a LONG WAY. Who else remembers when they were first introduced and Vayetse hid behind Kevin snarling at the new girls?!!!
lol.yes
Which episode is that?
No bit give me that episode Now
I remember vayestie when he was a young cub but now he’s stunningly gorgeous and so Majestic looking!!!!
Same I remember when his best friend died as a cub and he was crying and had ptsd poor bugger
crazzi-j north Yes Mufamo ! So sad !
What stupid questions people have asked Kevin about why he interacts with the Lions . ! We wouldn't be privileged to gather information o or understanding of these wonderful creatures i f it was any other way,, and thanks to him they have a natural, meaningful life .
This is the only man in the world that could pull this off so well. There's 100% trust between the cats and him. So fascinating!
Help can't stop watching!!!! Binge watching The Lion Whisperer!!!! These Vlogs are soooo awesome!!!!!
Kaff231 One year later and I’ve taken your place!!! Ha
+Rachel Thomas yup
Yeah. And how many times have I watched some of the videos? Hm, let me think . . . ;-)
Omg sameeeeee I’ve taken you’re place one year later
Yes!
Vayetsi is one of the most beautiful male lions I've ever seen
Anwar Ali He is so majestic! The color and length of his mane are superb ☺️.....gorgeous lion!
That mane was incredible!
He’s a lady killer for a reason
Right...❤️❤️
He's my favorite along with Bobcat. They're majestic. ㅠㅠ
What on Earth did Kevin do to deserve such a tremendous blessing of spending time with these magnificient beings?!! Keep up the great work Kevin. Such love, such magnificience! Who could ask for more? I mean just WATCHING this itself is a blessing!
Meeting vayetse is officially on my bucket list
6:06 - 6:18 Jenny doesn't like to be behind she likes to be in front. If I start to run -- Jenny: * *runs in the opposite direction* * lmao 😂😅
Epic! (LionWhispererTVTeam)
Lmao Jenny just changed course so she could be in front again XD
thats a pretty smart thought ;)
ginny*
Very smart 🤣
He just pulls up the skin of an adult male lion in his prime lol 😂
That's Savage
Dude I saw him rub and slap the belly of one of those lions
In another video a lioness lets him treat a very sore wound without any sedation. Amazing.
@@dutchlion7663 that was meg I think i think I saw that 2 I don't think he said it was sore though. Besides he knew those onessince birth and he just applied some sprays and he even said they didn hurt or burn or anything. But still amazing I know
@@ZainAhmed-ns2di It was actually NaÏobi, who was injured after they moved all the lions to the current sanctuary several years ago.
How this guy is excepted into the pride, and the male lions cuddle up to him, is way beyond amazing, it's miraculous , he has a gift from God that very few if anyone can replicate.
I just wish I could trade places with you for a day (or a year) Kevin. Hands down my favorite animal on the planet. Seriously, thank you for everything you do for these beautiful majestic creatures. You are making a difference, not only for the lions in your care, but for their wild cousins too.
This man makes me think that there might be a bit of hope for humanity! Seen people like this that spend their entire life protecting and caring for animals is just amazing!!! This is why i want to work with animals when I'm older...keep up the good work Kevin!!! And dont think about what people say'!!
Little Sailor we humans are animals we have to look out for our people i mean animals
Little Sailor you should move.not everywhere as bad as where you live.there are more humane people out there than bad people..way more
Ali Alrashidi In Greece people care about stray cats and dongs so its not a matter of moving. I am more concerned about people in other countries
I consider it part of our place on earth as 'stewards' to do work like Kevin does....and bloom ourselves somewhat for being hands on.
No one says bad about him only good
I love this trio! I've been tracking them since they were first put together after the tragic death of Vayetse's brother. I'm always happy to see them, glad to know they're all fit and loving life! Vayetse is one of the most beautiful "pale" lions I've ever seen! His mane is just gorgeous! And those paws! If he was a wild lion, he'd have lots of cubs! Livy & Ginny are beautiful, vivacious companions for Vayetsi! I love them all! (Kevin, coming up on 1/4 million subscribers! Woohoo!)
he almost looks like a white lion, he has a very unique color!!
XxWinged LionsxX He really is unique looking. I've seen literally hundreds of videos with lions, and I've never seen one with quite his coloring. He is a very special lion, in looks and temperament!
Oh ya I rmb his brother was cannibalised. Was it called Mafumo?
MrAcrobot Mfumu was examined by Kevin who was certain Mfumu was bitten by a puff adder snake which caused his death. The others lions were curious and opened up the carcass. Vayetse took it really hard and mourned for ages until Kevin obtained the two lionesses to help him recover. Once he and the girls bonded, Vayetse was happy again. It was incredibly sad to watch Vayetse constantly call for Mfumu.
That was probably the saddest episode from his older videos. I should rewatch those, there were some great moments especially with the hyenas. I don't think they still have that group together anymore but I remember there was a hyena hanging out with the terrible teens that were bullying vayetse and mfumu at the time.
Beautiful lions. They are having better life than most people. Such videos are inspiring. I love lions.
This is my "escape" from reality! Thank you kindly for sharing your adventures with us!
Wow love Vayetsi he's a beautiful big boy now. Poor boy lost his brother when little and left alone, the two girls came in to cheer him up. Now they are still together it's great!
Vayetse such handsome!!! The mane incredibly beautiful!
How can someone to dislike such informative and positive videos?!Cant understand.
Paul Oakenfold Relax!
Dude they probably think he is making their lives worse by taking them out of their natural habitat when really he is making their lives sooo much better. They are so happy
@@AliAhmed-dh4pl he has a valid point
It's the hyenas.
I’m almost brought to tears watching your videos. I have so much love and appreciation for our animal kingdom. Thank you so much for dedicating your life to these precious animals!
long live king vayetse👑👑👑
khal-e-ssi HORNY Your profile picture creeps me out so much :'D
Oh my foodness he's gotten his maine!! he doesn't have the little fluff he had when he was younger.
goodness*
That typo was freaking adorable and funny lol! :)
Wow...Vayetse has come into his own for sure! I remember when he was first introduced to Livvy and Jenny, omg, what a shy, timid boy, hiding behind daddy Kevin! And now look at him! All grown up, so handsome and sexy male lion, he's got that swag walk, and Livvy and Jenny are smitten with him you can tell. I love all the lions and lionesses...wonderful, wonderful work you're doing Kevin and I love watching all your videos with these amazing creatures that you so lovingly call your "family", because they truly are!
When I first saw Kevin n his lions, I was sceptical of his work n wonder it’s only a matter of times before these lions finished him off. Now I got nothing but admiration n appreciation of this man talent. I wish him a long life n thankful that we enjoy his work. Thank you Kev
Big thanks Lafaele! 🙏
He's definitely not the wee crying cub anymore. It warms my heart.
Why on earth there are not a million subs, I don't know. These videos are love at its best, spread the word, show your mother! 😍😍😍😍😍
We are getting there slowly! Thank you so much for the support! :) (LionWhispererTVTeam)
I get distracted watching this😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The main reason i fell in love with this channel was that all the lions you take care of look extremely happy, maybe im being silly, but thats what it looks like to me. Great job Kev
It’s nice to have friends like the lions ! 😍 Cats are graceful when they walk even the domestic cats 🐈! ❤️
Those lions love you Kevin. You are lucky and so are they to have you. Love is the only important thing,
so so precious, the male is so majestic and gentle, the pros of interaction is LOVE
Watching Vayetse walk around at 2:38 gave me chills. Such an amazing creature
I would date Vayetsy
Vayetse is my favourite especially because of his story of when he lost his brother in the documentary he’s endearing and memorable and adorable.
Binge watched all your videos in three days. No regrets.
Ha! Thank you! we love the dedication :) (LionWhispererTVTeam)
I remember seeing Vayetse as a cub in one of the documentaries, and he looks gorgeous now ❤
It's amazing! You can really tell that all the Lions in Kevin's pride are very well taken care of. All of their fur just absolutely glows. And Vayetse has got to be the most stunning male lion that I have ever seen. You can really tell that Kevin absolutely loves his feline family!!
Kevin's work is so much needed in the world
I would like to thank you for the amazing love and care you give to these precious animals.
I knew!!!! I knew he is gonna be a handsome Lion!!!! Magnificent Mane!!!! The lost of his brother mofumo contributed a lot in his growth....the tragic past made him so majestic!!!
Kev is so observant of the little personal tics, habits, preferences, and different personality traits of each of the animals, it’s amazing. They really are individuals to the fullest extent of the word, beautiful creatures man.
Absolutely beautiful lions! I would love to hug Vayetse or Bobcat. All these lions are simply beautiful and graceful.
Me too, they are both so regal! Just absolutely beautiful.
WHYYYY doesn't this channel have more subscribers!???
Kaust Shroff a quarter of a million is not good for you ?
Kaust Shroff its growing everyday
yeah its weird that his gopro videos get millions of views but the ones on his channel dont get nearly as much
I believe lots of people have the circus mentality. They see "guy walks with lions", they think, well I went to the circus and saw a couple of those walking with the guy. But, they do not realize, the job kevin has done, and the environment the lions live in with kevin.
Kaust Shroff forget the subscriber count that doesn't mean anything. I am subscribed to loads of 1m+ sub channels and they average the same views as Kevin's videos, but on the contrary, about 80% of Kevin's videos have more views than his sub count itself, so this channel is way ahead of its sub count. numbers don't mean nothing, that's in every aspect of life!
your vids are so calming to my soul. thank you.
Bumble Bee i know right
It still blows me away when Kevin grabs and pinches and prods at them to demonstrate something, in this case showing Vayetse's loose skin. They're so calm around him. He truly has become a member of the pride.
What beautiful animals.. I love how excited they get for the walks..I'd honestly be afraid to get so close but ppl do what they are meant to do and the Lion Whisperer is definitely the MAN FOR THIS..God Bless you and yours and all the wonderful animals you give a full and beautiful life to..
What a mission Kevin is on! Every video takes my breath away. Wow!
I am so jealous, I would like to hug a lion standing up!!
Vayetse is so chill. He reminds of a surfer dude with his personality and mane❣🐾🦁
*My hope & prayer is that there will more LION WHISPERERs LIKE YOU* kind and very passionate. so they can help you and continue your work too 🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️❣️
Keep it up too friend. I think the reason you're interacting with these animals is directly connected to your gift and calling given by God, believe it or not. If someone isn't called in scary areas like these, they won't pick up the least interest. Enjoy while fulfilling your calling! And may the good Lord be with you.
Seeing these great videos is a boost to the immune system!
Cool i think im safe from ebola now then
do u noes de wey?
I love Kevin's outlook. "Look at that fun." Yes that is what life is about. The simple little moments that pass so quickly and can mean so little. He reminds us that those moments mean everything. Those simple little moments that are ours for the taking, if only we are wise enough to recognize them.
I automatically up-vote all of Kevin's videos even before I've seen them.
I've never been so happy to stay up till 12.45 at night watching these videos. I couldn't adore Lions more than I do now ❤
Awhh! Stephanie! Thank you, we appreciate the support (LionWhispererTVTeam)
The Lion Whisperer you're more than welcome 😁
So so glad the lions have you in their corner, fighting for them. They're so beautiful.
The world is right again with kevin richardson and his lions.
Amazing what this guy can do! My hearts in my mouth every time he’s “greeted”
Vayetsi's mane is incredibly colored.
how come his mane is alot longer then other lions?
Andy Rao
Really? Male lions have manes, females do not. Also, "alot" is not a word. They are two separate words, and "then" should be "than".
MyPreddyPuddy I'm almost 100% sure that they weren't even talking to you. They were talking to Diane C.
MyPreddyPuddy What. The. Actual. Fuck. I was just helping point out that they were AGREEING WITH YOU, shithead. And you were acting all nasty to them for it because of the misunderstanding. I don't agree with our President-elect *either*, but that doesn't warrant this childishness when you should've just apologized to them, and randomly bringing up U.S. Politics where it has nothing to do with the video OR the conversation. What the fuck.
What an incredible work! Humans can't develop a good relationships with other humans- but you have such a compassionate insight, that you turned the biggest predator on this earth to love you back! Hats off to you Kevin..
He pulled up Vayetse's skin, and the lion just walked by, I just sat stunned! I amazed with Vayetse's mane, combination golden and white hair.
I must admit ... I have learned so much about this planet and the animals that inhabit it ... from channels such as yours. Thank you
I just love Vayetse such a beautiful lion, true king!! Watched him grow up
I just bought a t-shirt on your site. Wanted to contribute to your facility, wish I could give more!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate any support, small or large :) (LionWhispererTVTeam)
T Shirt? Me want....Click...
What is the site. Xmas is soon and id rather spend money that goes to kev and these little rascals than buy crap my family doesnt need?
KEVIN, I SO RESPECT WHAT YOU DO AND WISH YOU A LONG AND SAFE CAREER.....WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE PLANET'S BALANCE.
There is something about Vayetse that makes him my favorite of the male lions. He is MAGNIFICENT ❤
It's so good to see Vayetsi again!
Angels on four legs, got damn they are nice cats :) Keep up the good work and thanks for upload Kevin. :)
Kevin you have the most beautiful most adorable sweet family 🐹🐯🐾💖 Kevin you are such an inspiration to so many people... Im in awe... speechless...
What you said about putting lions in a cage is the exact reason i dont agree with zoo's and refuse to go to them!! I think what you are doing is brilliant keep it up love the videos
Yes I think many zoo's are macabre prisons and people claim they "love" animals and still go to them! Go and see how anxious and unhappy animals are in their ridiculously small cages. Pure insanity if you ask me.
Some zoo's do good in that they can conserve near extinct species through artificial insemination. For instance, the Great Panda does not mate very much which doesn't help the survival of an endangered species. I'm not condoning caging animals, there must be a better way and not all zoos benefit animals in this way.
I really like when you talk about things like the skin folds and their personalities, both as a species and individuals. Love your work man, keep it up! PS - Also love your description of the slender lady's build and coloration. This might be one of my favorite videos of your lol.
I could watch videos like this all day
I'm the same! It makes my heart so full when I watch the lions jump on him and show affection! I wish I could experience something like that. I mean I have had a dog in the past and I already get a warm fuzzy feeling when a dog or cat comes up and nuzzles it's head into yours, imagine what it would be like if a huge lion did it!!
I love what you do! So easy to get jealous when you are able to hug them and when they respond with love ❤️ So wish I can hug a lion 🦁 and a lioness! Thanks for sharing those moments!
Please everyone keep sharing and help awareness #savethelions
I like all the details you have on each cat. very cool stuff.
Yes, i will say the same! And I wanna give thanks to you, Kev, for aaaall the little things you do explaining to us about your beautiful animals!! So, keep going up to the important work you do, keep up also your health and strength for the future with all your friends. I admire you for all what you do, to make (give) a good life to them. I love all your videos and i give all my respect to you!! ☺️😘 All regards from Karin, Germany
his lions look happy and healthy he does a very good job loving Forum taking care of them
Vayetse looks like a gentle king.
Lol! When Vayetse swished his hair after Kevin was talking him up, he looked like a rockstar
What an amazing man you are Kevin. The Lions totally trust you, beautiful filming
His Mane is getting Darker! I thought he might stay blonde. I love them all, but Vayetse stole my heart☺💖
I’ve been following Kevin Richardson for years and I remember Vayetse not yet with this full mane. He was a young lion back then. Look at him now, so handsome!
Such a happy kitties even the Hippy one is happy What a nice person Kevin always thinking for His beloved animals so loving this cats no stress they walks is so peaceful they enjoy their walks they feel like they are in Disneyland amazing What a team of so dedicated and caring people God bless all of you God bless all the animals
These are by far my favourite “LIONS”. Kevin u r really doing such a wonderful job. God bless u. Wish I could do even 1% of what u do.
Wow, Vayetse all grown up! Amazing video and thank you for allowing us to see your beautiful family♥️
i can see the way the lions looks at him, they absolutely love him and trust him.
I am in awe of the relationship you have with these lions
I love this channel. It's so cool to these happy contented lions with Kevin and the way he interacts with them. He blows me away every time 💙✌
Vayetse is like the Fabio of the lions. The ladies must love him coz he's got great hair 😆
Marvelously beautiful lions all three Vayetse Livvy and Jenny. It’s so lovely to hear you describe each one of them, size wise and personality wise. I can never have enough of these lions, you’re doing a really really great job and your passion for them is heart touching.
This dude is a genius. Knows how to spend his time on this earth well. Making a difference.
