The lions are running away from some sticks, woopdedoo. Why do people go mad over a video of "Sticks frightening Lions" ?

The part where the handler and Steve walking backwards was clearly filmed without the lions being there.

Fake video is obvious, yet so many suckers fall for it lol.

Ohh no those sticks are so scary..

[criptology2]

I would have yelled like hell if that was me lol

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

The thing with all mammals is that you have to show no fear and at the same time be cautious and respectful. Mammals literally sense fear, and fear to them means something is not right and they will start getting guarded.

[templedog69]

they scared the lions with a stick on purpose to create excitement .

[metalfreind]

@templedog69 lol, i didn't even notice that. You really recon they did that for show.

[etfa12]

these r actually tigers 

[Lowlightnight]

i wouldn't have walked into the other side of that fence even if the fountain of youth was in there....that was madness

[MrRonnyking007]

3:44-3:45 LION - keep moving bitch

[hunterloon]

Q: "Do I stand a chance if anything goes wrong"

A: "nope"

lol

[HectorL360]

Tigers FTW.

[MrAnon56]

When those lions say clear out , you don't ask why!

[slalit1980]

Wild passiom

[slalit1980]

beautiful video

[olimshalom]

u need tranquilzer gun @ all times just in case. such animals cannot b predicted n belongs to the wild..old saying " leopard never looses its spots.

[condorX2]

i wonder what would happen if those lion aren't feed or when they're really hungry o.o;

[indyrokr]

Doesn't even flinch! @0:24 What a badass.

[HelenHish]

Lions are my favourite. I want this job

[patrickisready]

You must be very cautious of these very unique creatures, and never cross them.

[Thetruthisone]

I love how they're trying to make it look extra dangerous by saying the lions are not themselves today lool If it was your day mate believe me you wont have anywhere to hide...

[bigaristotel]

Beautiful Squirrel at Versailles gardens Paris...pubblicità al mio video :-D

[keyblade280]

i would be bricking it those animals deserve such respect

[MrBinieam]

those lions are just beautiful

[TheHopeAndAshleyShow]

He can go from kitten to killer in a minute. He's a bit mental. LMFAO !!!! (:

[RougeGunner]

@TheHopeAndAshleyShow Yeah, when I heard that I thought: "So... Basically it's just like any cat."

[TheHopeAndAshleyShow]

@RougeGunner Yea Basicly..(:

[amusielski23]

those are some young healthy lions look at their color and size just beautiful

[behnambazmi]

pussy

[holypaladinpewpew]

@behnambazmi lol im sure even the toughest guy would shit himself standing next to a lion.

[behnambazmi]

@holypaladinpewpew no i ment pussy cat.

na just shitting you, yea i would as well

[yorkyrose]

it makes me laugh when people have lions as pets and then when they are killed by them people say omg it just went nuts and turned on its owner. no the lion didnt go nuts the human went nuts the lion just did what it was born to do and that is kill. they are THE best fighting animal in the world people should stop using them as trophies and let them live wild and free.

[111Renegade111]

Ooooh that's right... pet the lions, play with the lions. OoooOOooh, the lions are such cute kittens. Then when all of a sudden the lion rips your head off, you think 'Omg! the lion is a killer!!' Surprise! Surprise!!!

[grobo11]

@111Renegade111 Do you have any idea what you're waffling on about?

[theagent104]

This guy must feel like a badass to have 2 lions as his best friends!

[Humbert042]

Haha he shat himself..... Though I would have done the same just like every other sane person. It's a wild animal!

[helioncry]

animals are animals. dogs are animals. cats are animals. humans are animals.

having said that... the lion could probably sense the dude's fear. lol. dogs respond to that with agression aswell.

[Raidelle]

ii feel there is no such thing as a bad animal it al depends how hey have been treated by humans

[DuppyMann]

Clearly the Lion is marking his territory when the reporter gets close to him, it was a warning.

[Solja2010]

being honest this is fucking ridiculous. Let them get back in to the wild so they can live naturally kicking ass like real royal lions!

[randomfreak90]

a 265 to 420 lbs killing machine isnt suppose to be treated at a kitty! they should take the poor lion into its natural habitat

[MrCaffeinebuzz]

I really don't blame the lions for not liking that guy. Rather than just petting it and giving it time to get used to him, the first thing he does is slap it hard on the stomach.

[andyrooney12]

Why? WHY?! I have always wanted to hug a huge fluffy lion or a big grizzly bear but I know the difference between a stuffed animals and the real thing so I adopted a dog from the local shelter and now he's my best friend & teddy bear. I know my limitations...more power to you if you think you can get away with it but just look at Timothy Treadwell...he guy protected wild bear & loved the creatures...he lived with them! Then he died when a bear ate his ass. Stay away from wild animals!

[BytheseaMrTodd]

NAPOLEON IS A FUCKING AWESOME NAME FOR A LIO! I have a grey housecat called Napoleon. :]

[sara41851]

lmao i thought he was gonna die :P

[Thegreatkhan247]

woohoo lions!

[davyjones21122]

funny clip . hope he shit his pants.



[oznose]

Am jealous, so jealous, but its ok

[kennyffx]

magnificence! although this is risky, i give props to those guys

[FallenArcturus]

Superb!!

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

40 haters got eaten by the lions :D

[StarsShadow]

@SakuraAvalonBleac25 40 haters knowing that that animal should be in the wild. As well, if that man gets killed it's likely that that lion will be put down for being a man-eater. If this were an accredited and good sanctuary of any sort, then they wouldn't be interacting with those male lions.

[S0XF0X]

@StarsShadow Kevin's lions are all rescues that he took in. They can't be thrown back into the wild, they would most likely die. Not only that, but that would disturb the natural boundaries of established lions, causing fights between the new comers and the established, wild males. Also, Kevin would never do this with lions he didn't know, and he raised these from cubs, so not only did he have a role in developing some of their behavior, he also has learned to read their body language quite well

[jjelrod1111]

@S0XF0X didn't he release two tigers into a wild life park in Africa?

[S0XF0X]

@jjelrod1111 No, because tigers aren't native to Africa, so that wouldn't be advised, or legal. I also think you're thinking of another handler who was trying to see if he could rehabilitate tigers back into the wilds of Asia. Dave something-or-other.

[Leidachinaman]

@S0XF0X Woot, nailed it! Looks like I'm not the only one running around fending off the idiots and/or ignorant!!! :)

[tycoonpratik]

That scare was a fake. Did you see the stick they used to roar the lions?

[jellybellies132]

@tycoonpratik maybe for protection :o

[MrJAWshot]

FUCK THAT

[ORACLE063]

These are the demons the religious think they see under their bed. When we were on the plains in africa 100,000 yrs ago lions and the like were "demons".. this is why we are "afraid" of the dark. Yet this man has turned that 180! ! awesome!!

[MrAlhashmy007]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

nice

[mrsullyrox]

dude i was scared shitless- and I was sitting here in my house.... no need to apologize..

[BenGreen923]

I belive that god is real if i dident there wouldent be a reason to live

[Zabatsion]

someone commented that the part in which the lions said to be agitated is delibrately proveked and to proff it look at the left side of the screen and you will see a stick thrown or moved in the direction of one of the lion

[SaxoRocks]

Dude they're like dogs!!!

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

They have pretty eyes :) but deadly

[ShaunCarlin]

If they were Lioness then the guy would have got shredded

[POGROMCA2]

I don't think that little lock would hold the lions

[sillybilly9400]

I truely believe that Lions are honorable creatures and can sence fear to them if you are afraid you are not worthy to be around them

[Wisprsinthedrk]

@sillybilly9400 They can tell when your tense, which only triggers their instincts.

[TheRyan0001]

@sn00piedog your a dickhead this guy will never get killed by these lions have u seen any other videos of him when he like wrestles with them

[sn00piedog]

That lions blue eues go perfect with it

[sn00piedog]

cant wait for the day you see this asshole getting ripped to peices by the same kings of the jungle he thinks are you ordinary hosue cat

[EzKrispy]

@sn00piedog

He respects them and they respect him.

Its taken years and years for him to build up the trust he has with them and you are just jelly that he chills with lions erry day and doesn't give a fuck.

[LeikRawr]

@EzKrispy LOL yea he's just jelly xD

[bubblepopelictric]

i would be so afriad 

[blackstersherron]

hate to say but some white people are dumb as hell trusting wild animals even if they brought them up since cubs, so many have died from trusting animals like this this dumb fuck will be next.

[Dawn0564]

look @ the 2 course dinner meal. I hope u fuzzy lions enjoy!!

[kazaaman47]

DAMN NATURE YOUZ SCARY.

[ace50105010]

and you wonder why people end up dead. these are killing machines

[xxkittyxoxo]

people stop talking about the sticks god damn the sticks or whatever it was wasnt even in the damn cam view for a minute it was two seconds an if you see closely it was like he BLOCKED him not poked him xDD damn xD an if he did he wasnt going to let a guy get eaten in front of him god xDD dont exaggerate xD its just protection dudes =P

[swizzbeats1212]

Lmao well no shit your scared its a fucking lion for goodness sake

[23marcusdownes]

youre a nutter! =-/

[TheRyan0001]

I would fuckn shit myself

[bigblindguy]

Im cieron88, the sticks are for protection, not for teasing, i doubt Kevin would let anyone poke his lions with a stick, Napoleon is like his best friend, and they get on really well, they "turned" I believe because the BBC guys was shtting bricks, and the scent of fear makes most hunters "riled", they wanna chase and kill, they dont kill Kevin because he is not seen as food, is not afraid of them, and gives them tickles and food, and ALL kitties like tickles, housecat or pride leader, no matter

[kurisleimani]

i wish to live like kevin with lions woowwwwww that it amazing

[dxk2007]

I would never go in a cage with a lion unless they are sedated. 

[lavee1996]

lkbaflakj

[donotlosefaith]

not really. there are two types one done by human manipulation some form of trickery and there's a supernatural kind. Some might even believe magic to be false of imaginative and there are some who believe if you open certain portal to the spirit world some unexplainable thing can happen. In this world if you believe the only two spiritual forces that exist and they're godly ones or demonic ones depending on who you conjure.

[moOmar100]

Lions are the coolest animal in the world i had the chance to meet a male lion and it was very very scary but also great feeling . Lions are truly amazing.

[danyyboye]

He`s lucky these Lions aren`t wild. They are all from captivity , most born in captivity. NO HUMAN can mingles with lions in the African wild, no matter how much time he spend studying them...... Just cuz they are Lions 100%...and over there competition is a way of life. Your testosterone scent they pick only gets you killed faster.

[chaddereric]

i would do anythign to have kevins job, to be able to react with lions like thiat, jsut, lol it be amazing and such a thrill to begind with, you would enver got bored of themtho would you

[Beastlylion]

assholes!! i hate people like this.....poking them with sticks.......

[CatherineJB7]

@BBCWorldwide

Where they trying to make them angry with the sticks or where they trying to distract them while they got out of the pen??

[jrrydha]

u dont realize how big lions r till they r next to grown men

[donotlosefaith]

amazing creatures. Thank God for all the creatures on the earth :) they're so BEAUTIFUL

[Arnebananlolo]

@donotlosefaith you believe in magic lol

[donotlosefaith]

@Arnebananlolo

no . just in Jesus :)

[javivilleda]

@donotlosefaith ur not beautiful LOL Jk

[donotlosefaith]

@javivilleda

haha very funy. we're all beautiful in God's eyes :)

[Arnebananlolo]

@donotlosefaith same thing

[32wallace]

@donotlosefaith

Well, not God

[donotlosefaith]

@32wallace explain please

[32wallace]

@donotlosefaith

well God doesn't exist

[donotlosefaith]

@32wallace well to me He does. However i'll ask you are you so certain of His non existence? what evidence do you have to proof it? does air exist? i've never physically touched it nor seen it but somehow i sense it's existence because oviously i'm breathing it :)

[32wallace]

Well of course air exists like you said you're breathing it! It's making trees move when it's windy It's destroying houses & killing innocent people in a hurricane!

God however, isn't doing anything to suggest his existence. He is supposed to be all powerful, all loving & all knowing. Yet he allows evil to happen. If God exist why do i live a privileged life but there is a child in the world staving to death or who's been born with H.I.V.

Also science is constantly proving religion as nonsense

[donotlosefaith]

@32wallace who's to say that it's the wind doing do, it could be some supernatural force doing that. my point was that we humans FEEL and SENSE the air but we don't see it but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. why does everything have to be physical? we think that tyhings just happen on its own and forget the invisible forces behind it. There's lifeforms that exist on this earth and even on ourselves that we haven't discovered but it doesn't mean that they don't exist

[32wallace]

@donotlosefaith

So just because we can't see, feel, touch, taste in anyway experience, have any experience of or are aware that it exist. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist? However, surely for something i has to do one of these things, else it isn't anything is it.

If i said you had a disease that didn't physically or mentally effect you nor were you aware it and i couldn't prove to you, you had it, or that it even existed. You would believe you had it? Can't you see how stupid that is

[donotlosefaith]

@32wallace there are diseases that exist in the human body that are dormant but just because it's inactive doesn't mean it doesn't exist but their is a possibility it will erupt when ready.you meantion the senses but their are some things that need non of these to exist. Hence the invisible/SPIRITUAL world. why does everything have to be physical? is our conscience/thoughts/soul physical?

[32wallace]

@donotlosefaith

There is no evidence that God exists and to compare him to thing like wind is ridiculous. You can prove with empirical knowledge that it does exist.

There is no invisible world? Are you fucking mental? There's no such thing as ghost and fairies. PROVE that there is an i will believe you. Just how scientist prove, Dinosaurs and things that world is over 6 billion years old

& how can something all loving, all powering, all seeing & all knowing Allow evil to happen!

[donotlosefaith]

@32wallace who cares what you think get a life and quit bugging me about this issue. If you don't believe fine i'm not imposing my belief on you. The only person mental here is you cause you can't have a civilized conversation that will open your mind. you think what you say is just that and that's okay but don't you dare tell me not to believe in what i believe or what i believe is imaginary cause it hasn't been proven as if your some kind of expert.

[32wallace]

I never said don't believe in God.

I used to be a Christian, I went to sunday school etc but I opened my mind and accepted reality and acknowledged the criticisms were overwhelming.

You have been indoctrinated and I pity you, if only you had been brought by people who didn't believe in God you wouldn't in turn indoctrinate your children and there wouldn't be a cycle of delusion. I hope one day you see reality. Bye

[donotlosefaith]

@32wallace do you or don't you believe? make up you mind. are you sure your not a temporary backslider instead of an atheist? If so maybe there's hope for you afterall. you speak of your former christianity as if you're still thinking about it. as a former christian you should know that God says to us that we must choose a side it seems you've choose yours but i hope you wake up. there is no delusion when it comes to God there is only reality and spiritual knowledge :)

[32wallace]

Well i am an Atheist.

And i am aware the because of this God will use his omnipotence to reincarnate me so i can experience the heat of hell for eternity and yet not die but instead exist ineternal pain. Simply for not believing regardless of the good i've done.

What a loving being he is

[PlaguedMan]

@donotlosefaith You aren't touched by air? You mean you live in void, or what? Ever felt the wind on your skin? Wind = air that is moving.

Besides that, its existence can also be proven. It is you who claim the existence of something. The burden of proof lies on your shoulders. Prove that god exists. Or to use your shitty logic: prove that Odin doesn't exist.

[donotlosefaith]

@PlaguedMan haha your very funny in your nonsensical thoughts. well i'll ask you this since you and the air are friends, where does it come from? have you ever physically touched it i'm not talking about it brushing your shoulders now and then. have you seen it if so what does it look like? i can assume you'll tell me no which will proof my point just becuase you can't see it doesn't mean it does not exist.

[sodboii4life]

@donotlosefaith i just want to hug one but i cant or they will kill me :(

[donotlosefaith]

@sodboii4life it all depends I guess. what i find is most animals if you stand up to it with out showing fear will respect you. some people got that natural gift with animals. i'm always amazed with those lion tamers wow they have amazing skills and a whole lot of courage haha. with dangerous animals like that you got to be on your guard all the time. i want to hug one myself they look so cudly :)

[marcel2018]

@donotlosefaith

ok , you are welcome !

[utar88utar]

@donotlosefaith there is no god, mate. only us, now and here... for a while.

[donotlosefaith]

@utar88utar dude, He's real to me and i love Him. I'm standing by my faith

[loverboyluv1]

@utar88utar dude God is real

[utar88utar]

@loverboyluv1 is he? any proof to support your claim?

[JoshMufc101]

@loverboyluv1

god isn't real, religion is man made. there is no evidence that the bible is true or that jesus was even real. besides this isn't the place to discuss this.

[emperorshead]

@JoshMufc101 Then why are you didiscussing it?

[JoshMufc101]

@emperorshead

ask the person who brought it up

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

@donotlosefaith

Indeed they are !

[newgateway1]

@donotlosefaith i bet you eat meat. hypocrite

[donotlosefaith]

@newgateway1 who cares. stop being judgmental. life's too short to worry about frivolous things

[AQUAMARINETMI]

THAT TRAINER IS THE NICEST GUY AND SO BRAVE!

FUNNY HOW THEY DONT ATTACK HIM

[oside92054]

[Serg223]

There's no way in hell I would go in there....

[SeriousIlya]

[Firefock1]

i would have pissed in my trousers.... for sure!!

[MrFinaldestination86]

@HustlarTaff....you are right....you can see the lions looking backward while they were running together

[Redhouseab]

@MrFinaldestination86 @HustlarTaff Also notice right after the stick scene, they didn't pan it on the lions at ALL, not allowing us to see the full scene. Convenient, ey? Way to fail BBC lolz

[nedsmob81]

no matter what u r a one brave man 2 go in thr reporter..............

[crazyboi0074]

walang kwenta

[eleguaaugele]

I love the way this guy moves -- he IS a lion himself. Totally stable, a born martial artist. I wonder if he has practiced any martial arts.

[ardotschgoetschgi]

completely stupid -.- why did they have to angry the lions? did they think that whould make it more dramaticly

[antmeans]

balls of steel.

[gamesbok]

@vinzfoolingaround Good point.

[Strogenforcer]

I was scared shitless watching it at my computer.

[lordsardonicvids]

uMM... I LOVE KITTIES.... BUT i am not so sure about those Puss's! They sure purr loud! lol!

[Funan10]

if it wanted to that lion at the end could easily charge thru that gate.

[LitlleLauren112]

i <3 lions

[GodzzzSon]

Ha I thought I was the only one to notice they poked the lions

[mustangersalie]

scary, but facinating !

[AsimHill]

THE LIONS HAS GOOD BASS

[HustlarTaff]

complete drama...these lions are not mental! they teased them with sticks to make them angry..and were like "something went wrong"..look at 3:37!

[lonerlass3123]

@HustlarTaff Yeah!!Those assholes!!!

[antmeans]

@HustlarTaff dont know if this was staged or not but what you offer is no proof.

[superchrisc]

@HustlarTaff totally agree with you, blatantly see the stick!!!

[Ymgarl]

@HustlarTaff LOL

[WaldronicTomotron]

@HustlarTaff The staff were trying to tempt the lions away by using bamboo sticks, if you knew anything about Lion handling you'd know this :p

[mira0055]

@HustlarTaff nice buddy..you are really spot-on......

[sian0151]

@HustlarTaff the keepers are distracting them with the bamboo sticks so he doesn't get eaten

[dkbhn]

@HustlarTaff

I think those are security people. They are not teasing the lions.

[semo2010]

@HustlarTaff it got us on our toes tho ...

[cieron88]

@HustlarTaff I think the sticks were more like to keep the lions at a distance from the camera crew... as security matter kinda
