  • That's cool hopefully he doesn't get killed

  • Luckkkyy Guy

  • Why is it always some crazy white dude doing this stuff? Steve Irwin, Timothy Treadwell, now Kevin Richardson...

  • @goku4113 if it's crazy to want to get along with each other and have a peaceful society... then I'm fucking insane

  • @TheRushingWind What are you talking about? Lions eat meat... They are dangerous predatory animals.

  • @goku4113 again, lions are individual. They have their own personalities. They eat meat, but they will not (generally, depends on the lion) eat one of their family/friends if they are being well fed

  • @TheRushingWind 9 out of 10 lions would kill you just for practice. This guy is crazy for behaving like this with Lions. I never said lion eat each other. You and I are talking about two different things.

  • @goku4113 not if they accepted you as one of their own (unless they were really hungry perhaps). This guy is not crazy - he's reestablishing the respect between animals and humans that once existed. And he's still alive

  • @TheRushingWind A respectful person wouldn't try to roll around with these animals. A respectful person would recognize them as potentially dangerous animals and give them their freedom and distance. Look up "Timothy Treadwell" if you want an example of what happens when humans try to pretend wild animals are friendly.

  • WAIT TILL THE UNAVOIDABLE HAPPENS ONE DAY! XD

  • @gaylordNL stop judging. Lions are individual

  • Man is part of nature. This isn't interference, this is life.

  • tarzan lives on

  • Eventually those Lions will turn against him, if they haven't already. lol

    It happen before we seen it all.

  • He is stupid he van die

  • Nice roar

  • Comment removed

  • they will have him for lunch or dinner anytime!

  • There will soon be a next News that he's dead

  • @dondycluck

    Video is 3 years old, he's still alive so ehh sorry.

  • @dondycluck Just like Steve Irwin...

  • Badass.

  • Ahahaha! The lion blocked the camera xD

  • "hi my names kevin and id like to get life insurance"

    "sure, whats your current occupation, sir?

    "yeah i'm a lion tamer"

    *phone cuts*

    "hello?"

  • well I think thats amazing! I would love to do that :O

  • it always turns out badly..............ALWAYS

  • 0:30-0:40 r.i.p the stunt double

  • ahhh soo cooolll :] gotta love animals! 

  • I WANNA DO THAT O_O

    i always thought lions were so adorable .. its just that i didn't want to be killed by them -__-;

  • I believed this video at first, but then I saw that he was spraying something at 0:55. Probably something that makes the lions less aggressive or whatever. So this is basically fake.

  • @SammyE89 do you see him spraying something at 0:30 ??

  • @JohnnyBabas I watched and rewatched again and again and again, but no, he doesn't spray anything. It's a protective gesture humans seem to do a lot when dealing with animals, putting hands out, close to one's body, as far from the face as one can. Sometimes people raise one leg up a bit.

  • Yeah this guys accepted as one of his own! Until he starts petting one of the alphas mates too much...And the alpha male lion doesnt like it. Then hell get it really bad. You want to fet cats, get a fucking cat. This is unnatural.

  • Dear Kevin Richardson- I want to have your children. We'll be like Tarzan and Jane, but with lions. Cue the Phil Collins music.

  • The Lions in the wild would kill this guy. All those Lions in captivity are trained

  • FUCKING OFF HIS HEAD

  • arifin manchester a attıgı gollü arıyodm nereye geldm amk 

  • i found mother nature's husband.

  • 1:08 "Screw this man, It's my time to shine now." - Lion.

  • RICHARD ALPERT!

  • Its Aslan -.-

  • i have the egg mc muffin of penises

  • @beerisgood760 lmfao..

  • Love how at the end of video the lion flashes his dick to the camera.

  • Intefering with nature? mankind has been interfering with nature the momment we set foot on this planet -_-

  • I wonder how long it took him to build a connection with them. Once he has their trust (looks like he does) it is very unlikely they will attack him. He just has to be extra careful they don't think of him as his toy because they get really possessive and can hurt him in the process.

  • id rahther dp this with wolves or unicorns

  • I get the feeling that he touches them inappropriately....

  • Hope he gets bitten and killed!

  • @Angles786 Why would you wish such a cruel fate upon someone?

  • @iluturtles he is playing with his life might as well get killed n this video and entertain people!

  • @Angles786 Oh brilliant. Someone who wishes to use other's death as entertainment. Are you twelve? Is he doing something he shouldn't? Yes. Does he deserve to die or be harmed? No. Besides. He's not with the lions anymore. He left them.

  • if i was him, i'd feel the same way. i could be killed? BEST DEATH EVER.

  • Something tells me this won't end well. There was another fellow who was involved with bears - Timothy Treadwell - who eventually got eaten. See the doco "Grizzly Man"

  • I know this is crazy to some, but this is so sexy! Seriously, if you have a man who is able to walk around with lions as if they were dogs, that's just sexy lmao XD

  • Guys this is colin farrell in the movie "to tame a pussy"

  • he ssparying some thing, its probably some chemical that relaxees lions, or hes already wearing something that makes lion non-viscous to him

  • @magicswaper or, hes spraying water, to play with the lions?

  • they are soo cute, they want to prey with you hehe.

  • amazing 

  • i just heard one purr lmao.

  • I tried this. Now I have no face

  • fuck that I would never do this.

  • Didn't this guy used to be in the back street boys?

  • @desaad37 Wikipedia says he did :)

  • @DennisSpeer1 I actually just looked into this last night after asking and They're two different people. They sure do look very similar with the facial hair and all. if you want to find the two diff posts, look for Kevin Richardson (Musician) and Kevin Richardson (Zoologist) too see the differences...

  • @desaad37

    no he was never in the backstreet boys.

  • @sadiq2008 yeah i saw that after, they just both have the same name and look similar

  • TARZAN !

  • WOOO!!! I will try that tommorow at the zoo!

  • @getitbussy good luck on that XDD mail me ..when you are alive after that

  • @getitbussy was the hospital food good?

  • That man must be crazy :D

  • Awesome i will like do that

  • y porque tenerle miedo a los animales si los animales somos nosotros los humanos mas miedo me daria estar con personas que con animales

  • They told me I could be anything....so I became a lion.

  • this Africa !! soon visit it.

  • I'd try it.

  • I thought this was from "TheOnion" at first.

  • I wish I could be like him!

  • thats a big pussy

  • this could end badly...

  • 1:27 ASS BITE

  • interfering with nature.... look what youre doing with all the wars and killing of other animals...

  • top comment, get a boyfriend lol oj

  • @savethehemp Congratulations! you will make a nice snack.

  • @savethehemp

    Shut the fuck up.

  • @savethehemp who gave you permission to leave the kitchen?

  • @savethehemp lol waste of a bachelors...

  • @savethehemp i trully respect you for that .. im actually studying to be a vet cause a deeply love animals and i would do anything to save them !!

  • @savethehemp "U wanna be fucked by a lion?"

  • Comment removed

  • @savethehemp you will not think that when one attacks you. the bear man got killed too

  • That guy has some freakin balls.

  • @Mikeanglo no.... he is a smart mad who knows what he's doing. if you know what your doing you don't need balls... unlike the other people mauled by lions, he uses his brain...

  • @Mikeanglo

    Thats what we call a MAN not the one with red Ferrariii & cuccipucci perfume.

  • @Mikeanglo ameeeeeeeeeeeeeen

  • LIONS ARE SO CUTE! ... Oh and me and Simba have been dating for years! ..... Hhaha you all think im crazy now.

  • I would love to have wild animals like lions, hyenas,cheetahs, and more he is a very lucky guy

  • Thats gotta be the most amazing job in the world...

  • Gobble gobble gobble gobble

  • I bet he mate with a female

  • I have 20 lions in my house WTF..they fuck my little dogs

  • OmGosh The Lion is so cute

  • Would be nice to see a male lion attempt to mate with him

  • This guy must not know about Timoth Treadwell.

  • @Kevinhillcrest And you must not be very informed on the massive differences between the two. Tim was an idiot, Kevin is far from like him.

  • Thats beautiful.

  • RIP Kevin

  • @Alaznel He isn't dead, I wish all the either trolls or misinformed people would stop posting dumb comments like this.

  • @Leidachinaman no shit sherlock, i wish all the trolls or misinformed people would understand a joke like this.

  • "some people call this man the lion whisperer." I call him food. Just a matter of time.

  • @cra2 You are foolish to think so. Due to how he works with these animals, his job is no more dangerous than a pilot's is. There is a difference between being tolerated by an animal and being accepted by an animal.

  • @Leidachinaman Exactly - his "job" IS like a pilot's. Where a human error can cost him his life.  Where he is NOT in control of the elements around him which, at any time, could cost him his life. A pilot 'hopes' there won't be a catastrophic structural failure but has no control over it. Mr Food here 'hopes' none of the lions get too playful or get in a bad mood. But he has no control over it and no way to deal with it if it happens.

  • @cra2 You misinterpreted my meaning. A pilot has an extremely low chance of said accidents occuring. I was comparing the percent chance not the actual job. Kevin doesn't need to worry in otherwords. And you need to be more open minded and stop believing all precedences set before you. These animals aren't as mindless as people try to convince you they are.

  • @Leidachinaman You need to stop speaking FOR a person you've never met working in a field you've never studied. He has said himself in interviews that they can very well kill him at any moment. The EXACT same words spoken by the half-dozen OTHER folks who've been mauled or killed by the large animals they've worked with. If you research Kevin, you'll find that he's already been hurt by them several times. Any one of which could've been his last if the wound had been deeper.

  • @cra2 You assume I know nothing about him. I keep up with his website's newsletter as well, I've seen all his documentaries & I've read his book. Yes, he has said that they COULD kill him. But he has also said it's not very likely. The pilot example, for example, was something HE said. Once again, stop viewing these animals as mindless killers.. that's the very perspective he's trying to abate. Also, you can't compare others with him. Very few people work with their animals like Kevin does

  • @Leidachinaman I assume you know nothing about caring for large predators. Based on your comments, and the fact that about 1% of the population has that opportunity. Of course he doesn't "expect" it to happen - or he wouldn't get in the cage. But he knows it could at any moment. I never said they're mindless. They're intelligent hunters - as are great whites. And like great whites, they are "wild" and can't be domesticated or controlled.

  • @cra2 comment 1/2 Interesting that people said the same about Gorillas but Koko seems to be doing just fine. What I'm trying to say is that these animals have the capacity for emotion and thought a world over what people generally think they do. usually when people talk about an animal being "wild" they are referring to instinctual behavior. There is no such thing as "instinct" it's just a label for actions one either doesn't understand or refuses to try to understand.

  • @cra2 comment 2/2 And the point of showing this capacity to the general public is to convince more people that these animals are worth saving. People are not going to donate time/effort/money to an animal that they could give a shit less about.

  • @Leidachinaman Noone said they aren't worth saving. I didn't. I said those are wild animals (which is scientific fact) and that he is "food" (which has proven true, time & time again). Whether or not he gets eaten any time soon is beside the point.

  • @Leidachinaman And for every KoKo there's a Charla Nash.

    (watch?v=UXLpivwdhM8)

    No, I'm not talking about "wild" solely in terms of behavior. Look up 'taming wild animals' at Nat Geo mag online. Certain (and very few) animals have the 'domestication' gene (cows, dogs, etc). That's why, hundreds of years later, they CAN'T domesticate a zebra, even though they CAN train and live with horses. Wild animals can be 'conditioned' to be around humans, but they're still 'wild.'

  • @cra2 AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You think your smart but you're proving your own stupidity by having an argument on youtube! Respond to this and I won't respond back btw.

  • @skyhawk431 good. lol.

  • Don't try this at home! :)

  • Their paws are bigger than his head!

  • 1:08 Dis my show, bitch.

  • WOW :)

  • Well as long as he accepts the fact they could kill him at any moment, i have nothing but respect for this man.

  • i've never been so jealous before

  • What's the big deal? The lions grew up with him. Let him do it with wild lions and I'll be impressed.

  • @Hypnotized81

    Just becouse he grew up with them, doesn't make him their best friend.

    Its in the lions nature to kill, i dont think you can trust a lion 100% no matter what

  • @joba312 i got your point but, he has like 30 lions in his estate and none of them attempted to kill him or even injure him, likely one of his many lions could've done it but none of them did, so, i think that makes him their best friend 100%.

  • @boypula

    Yeah, true.

    But you hear so many storys of people that has been killed by lions, which they have had from their birth :S

  • @joba312 yeah im with you but we still have no reports of HIS lions attacking him or injuring him, so maybe he has a special way of connecting with the lions.there are a lot of stories but his story is different so until we see some breaking news report of him getting his head ripped off by the lions, then he's different from the others.

  • @joba312 You also don't hear the details in those stories. Most of the time the people might have "owned" them since birth but that doesn't mean that they spent time with them. Or interacted with them daily or even weekly. Let a lot played with them or truely formed any sort of deep relationship with them. You only hear about the people that neglect their animal and the news makes it out to be like 100% of owner have a 100% chance of dying sooner or later.

  • @boypula you're wrong. He has been injured multiple times. Do your research. He's lucky none of those injuries were fatal (yet). He has said that he knows they could get killed at any time, but that even if he did it will have been worth it.

  • those lions a pear real nope chuck testa

  • faggots like to eat pussy when the frier gets off his horse

  • lol, at 0:50 they are all rolling around like house cats. :)

  • I like the way they say he doesn't use any weopan or food to entice them.... NO... just a great bloody big bottle of catnip.... he is like a grug dealer for lions... of course they love him

  • so cute ' w '~

  • Thats amazing & beautiful

  • You know i was reading through some comments on animals and i was watching dear hunting and rabbit hunting vids and all there were in the comments were people saying hunters are sick bastards and that people like me are SICK.... all i have to say is ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING>> HOW DO YOU THINK YOU MEAT GETS ON THE TABLE... ITS NOT MADE IN WALL MART YOU KNOW THAT COW IN THE FIELD THEY SHOT IT IN THE BRAIN AND CUT IT UP..... AMERICA AT LEAST WHEN I HUNT THE ANIMAL HAS A CHANCE OF GETTING AWAY...

  • @SuperRiguy I have absolutely nothing against hunting. If you hunt and use the animal after you've killed it then fine. But trophy hunting is nothing short of "sick bastard" style behavior. As for people whining about hunting for meat... you need to keep in mind that the general population can't do simple math and does not understand basic science... Take that into account. People are fucking stupid.

  • @Leidachinaman SOOOOOOOOOOO TRUEEEE TROPHY HUNTING IS A JOKE

  • @SuperRiguy I don't know where the comment is that you are replying to but I can only assume I said something along the lines of "hunting for meat is fine, trophy hunting is nothing short of stupidity." Damn you new youtube!!

    But I'm glad you agree. :)

  • MUFASA!!! :D

  • lol bin ne sau

  • dont, try this at home

  • Seems like a good guy but its not rocket science mate, those are lions and one day they will eat you

  • @CJ8DAY Lol, the only thing you are right about is what his does is indeed not rocket science. But the last part of your comment is nothing short of ignorance. It's unlikely anything bad will happen to him.

  • @Leidachinaman why is it unlikely? Lions are very unpredictable. He even admits that it could happen and that if it does he'd be happy to die that way. We can't even trust dogs completely and you think we can trust lions? lol

  • @KingDcome11 I apologize for the no repsonse, my inbox didn't receive an alert for this comment. I can completely trust my dog. I love her very much and, to me, she is as much a member of my family as my mother or father. Perhaps you don't have or don't understand bonds like that? Everyone is a product of their environment. All animals (not JUST humans) are. Raised with love and respect will show it returned to you later in life.

  • @Leidachinaman I don't understand your comment. lol I can't find my comment.

  • @KingDcome11 I know right! The knew youtube sucks!! It is a few pages back. You re replying to me about a conversation I was having with another.

  • @Leidachinaman Ok I found it. Starve your dog for a few days... and then serve him food in a plate... then while he's eating try to take the food away from him and watch what happens ( don't starve your dog just think about what I said). Animals are very unpredictable. These lions could deff killl this man and he admits it. why? because he has done his research. He knows that anything could turn the lion against him. I'm not saying its impossible for this guy not to get hurt but chances are low

  • @KingDcome11 I refuse to do this experiment with my dog as it would be cruel, however, given the situation I am very confident that she would not react as such because I have taken food away from her while eating (just not while starving). Just because you can't predict an animal doesn't mean said animal is unpredictable. Just like "instincts" <-- that is just a label for actions people don't understand or are to ignorant to try to understand.

  • @Leidachinaman In my comment I clearly said don't do it. I have tried to take food away from my dog just to find glares at me, snarls, growls and positions himself between me and the food . YOU SEE not all dogs will react the same way. In the same sense Lions might be friendly but they are unpredictable. If we humans can commit murder in a rage of madness how much more lions? why does the guy admit he could die>? because HE unlike YOU is an animal expert/. don't listen to me , listen to the guy

  • @KingDcome11 You misunderstand my statements. I completely acknowledge that all animals have unique personalities. I'm against the idea of instincts. If you raise an animal from birth around you & show it unconditional love & respect then you won't have to worry. Example, I doubt that Meg, Ami, Tau, or Napolean would "snap" on him at random. He would have to do something pretty damn bad for them to want to seriously attack him. Taking food from an animal is such a sign of disrespect

  • @Leidachinaman As i said don't listen to me ...listen to the expert ( the guy on the video) he ADMITS he could die because he acknowledges what every expert knows. These animals are very unpredictable. Yes they can be very friendly but the guy is at risk every time he's with the lions. Lions are not domestic animals and they could snap at anytime. since they are too strong and big there is little chance to survive an attack. Dogs are actually afraid of humans not lions or bears.

  • @KingDcome11 Kevin has been attacked by a lion name Tvaso who did not know Kevin all that well. Tsavo sure messed Kevin up, no doubt.. but Kevin also specifically said how he later on realized that Tsavo was restraining his attack against him. He wasn't trying to kill him he just wanted to fuck him up for disrespecting him. Basically Kevin entered Tsavo's enclosure to get a shot with him & the fully grown male for the family.. even though Tsavo gave him clear warnings. Predictable.

  • @Leidachinaman hahaha and you knowing this dare to say that lions would not harm people? you must be on drugs to think like that. The guy has been attacked before, he admits he could die,experts say lions are very unpredictable, and what you have to prove your theory? nothing. I think I have proved my point. I gave you 3 reasons why lions are dangerous and an attack could be fatal. Use some common sense. Listen to the experts and don't talk for them. They know what they are saying

  • @KingDcome11 (comment 1/2) - No, a lot of them do not. I use logic to support my arguement. First of all, I'm not really sure where you got the idea that I said that lions couldn't or wouldn't harm people. I never said anything of the like. I said that specifically the lions that KEVIN has a GOOD relationship with like Tau or Meg would not hurt him. He has about the same likelyhood of being attacked as a pilot of an airplane as of crashing.

  • @KingDcome11 (comment 2/3) - You also misunderstood the point of me telling you about Kevin being attacked by Tsavo. If you think about the unlying events such as that he restrained himself in his attack because he wasn't trying to kill Kevin. Animals not raised around humans who play roughly with them will not know the limits of a human. Since Kevin rolls around with them and play with them daily they all know he is weaker than them and as such show restraint around him. One more

  • @KingDcome11 (comment 3/3) - What I'm trying to say is that animals are no more unpredictable than humans are. Kevin himself says this in his book. A lot of the "experts" you speak of also talk about these animals like they are mindless killing machines. That's not the case, everything (including humans), is a product of his/her environment. We can all think and we all have access to emotions. Instincts, once again, is just a label for something one doesn't understand.

  • @Leidachinaman Ok should i listen to your arguments with no logic, no expertise, no common sense or should I listen to the guy in the video who's an expert and knows his stuff? I think I'd rather listen to him. If he says he could die I believe him. If he says they could attack him I believe him. If he says that if he dies he would die loving what he does? I believe him. end of the story.

  • @KingDcome11 I still think you are misunderstanding me. I'm only elaborating on Kevin's views, which I share. The possiblity of death that he acknowledges doesn't mean that he is also acknowledging a likelyhood. The airplane pilot is one such example that KEVIN RICHARDSON used to describe such a likelyness. Just as he said that these animals are no more unpredictable than humans are. My arguement, as such, is quite literally backed by an expert. Please reread all my posts. :/
