LION GETS BATH part 1

[rookya]

This is probably the most bizarre thing I've seen in the last weeks, a lion getting a bath with his shampoo and everything, why is he so calm?

[ockap00]

you forgot to wash his balls !

[99bleeder]

scar is living the life make sure he doesnt push you off a cliff

[Johannakarlsson90]

Why do you give the lions a bath? they do not take baths in the wild, they clean themselfe?!

[lionphotostudios]

@Johannakarlsson90 because we live in the desert and it hardly ever rains here.

Plus we like to keep our lions healthy and clean.

[cothfi]

@lionphotostudios he said: "this guy has a death wish!" in turkish.

[mohager101]

balls of steel !

[steelersfan826]

I have a direct question for the uploader. What are some of the requirements one would need in order to have a job taking care of lions or other exotic animals? As far as college education goes.

[lionphotostudios]

@steelersfan826 there is a college in Mookpark Ca that gives one the basics over a 2 yr course,

But you can also go to a training program, such as we will be starting this spring, or volunteer at a sanctuary or Zoo.

[steelersfan826]

@lionphotostudios Too bad I live all the way in NC. Thanks anyway, I really appreciate it.

[ahmedshabib]

Dont they attack??



[PrivateWarrior1]

is it cold or warm water?

[lionphotostudios]

@PrivateWarrior1 warm water premixed and set to correct temp always

[The218Native]

lol poor lion got his head down like "oh nooo yer messing up my MANE!"

[aclau7]

[lionphotostudios]

[sabisro86]

[sidneyquinery]

Wow your lions tame when hes having a bath...I thought lions hated water...My dogs HATES having a bath

[cryingsakura]

I wanna give bath to the lion too!!!

[theakuma0341]

6 people need Chuck Norris's balls

[RobbytheLion]

Wow that's bravery. Most people wouldn't even try to bathe a housecat.

[psycin]

Great, so its a clean shiny lion, oatmeal conditioner no less. But I thought lions were smelly. Oh wait ,I'm actually seeing a cow that cant catch and eat a mouse. And I am talking about the lion btw.

[CHIRIQUIS1991]

Sir you should make a video where you show all the space the lions have so people know how they live... by the way great video

[cageybee777]

gorgeous kitty

[TheSpect0r]

Umm, locking yourself in a cage with a lion, pouring water over the enormous cat, and then scrubbing it with baby shampoo?

This guy has balls.

[lionphotostudios]

@theGroveMan this is a shower cage only.

[corcovadoquelindo]

johnson's baby shampoo: good for babies, adults and now lions!

[Neflyte300zx]

if dog shampoo exist, i am almost sure you can find lion shampoo in any waltmart stores :)

[kpEVOlution]

you have some huge cajones to be grabbing a lions tail lol

[cageybee777]

he likes that :)

[DemonAngelvs]

so cute johnson&baby shampoo :))) for a lion, i want a lion :p

[EpikHater]

Look at his mane! So beautiful.

[getsugatenshou1993]

i heard that lions hate water doesnt he get angry?

[tribune007]

Lion:oh dont mind me, i just having a cheeky bath

[MrBroadcastMusic]

this lion fucking loves wather :D

[AotearoaSoldier17]

lol that lion really has a big fat lion-ass

[esmeraldaxxxx]

A babay shampoo on a lion.Wow just wow.Don't they have another shampoo?

[lionphotostudios]

@esmeraldaxxxx dont want to hurt the eyes

[KatiushaVN4]

Johnson's Baby Shampoo: "Don't test on animal"

[firewolf101]

is it sad that this lion is better behaved in the bath than my dog is? -_-' lol

[FranklynsChocolate]

We take your cat in the shower sometimes.. But ofc it's not a lion, but a... Big house cat.

[haha1yeeyee1sobate]

are you still alive ? hope you reply so i know you are lol

[Nephthys4Isis]

Wow, this lion is behaving quite well while you're bathing him.

[ChingChongCification]

THIS GUY IS FREAKIN NUTS. ONE DAY HE'S GONNA GET IT!!!

[Sc0tch37]

Baby Shampoo? Haha you need something harder xD

[DarkRebelCafe]

see i dont agree with small cages. he wouldnt be pacing like that if he didnt spend too much time in there he's going insane. if they're gonna be domesticated go all the way.

[lionphotostudios]

@DarkRebelCafe

this is only a shower cage where we bathe them. they live in 2500 sq ft areas

[queensdiplomat02]

@lionphotostudios 2500 sq ft to an animal that roams thousands of miles in its lifetime is NOTHING...this is sad and not natural

[lionphotostudios]

@queensdiplomat02 I agree, but all my blood lines have been in the United States for over a 100 yrs. We would love to reintroduce ours back into the wild thru preserves, but poaching and the fact that feline aids is common in the wild stock. Living here with AC and heated houses, being hand fed a balance diet they dont need to travel the thousand of miles they need to to follow the food supply. I wish the world was a better place for all wild animals, but humans destory the wild.

[queensdiplomat02]

@lionphotostudios i understand, unfortunately lions are big business in africa and are running out of places to naturally live their lives so i cant say i blame you. Take care.

[lionphotostudios]

@queensdiplomat02 saw one discovery show where a guy was breeding lions just to hunt

our world values are not what they should be

[TheChembalin]

cute :3

[shyboyp]

Why Does The Video Say Its 7 Minutes Long When Its Not It Cuts Off Around 5:20 !!! You Really Should Edit This Seriously !!!

[lionphotostudios]

@shyboyp ask youtube on lenght. I posted it 2 yrs ago, they control the settings

[JOHNNYwxw]

why are you puting shampoo????omg...let the animal live...pff

[lionphotostudios]

@JOHNNYwxw we use baby shampoo to keep him clean here in the desert. He likes to be clean I assume as you do.

[JOHNNYwxw]

@lionphotostudios so if the lion was living alone in the nature he would shampoo too?????...man these animals are cleaning themselfs

[lionphotostudios]

@JOHNNYwxw but this lion doesnt live in the wild where there is lots of rain so we clean him here

being clean is a crime against nature, i m guilty

[PUNKem733]

@lionphotostudios Some people are idiots. You shouldn't respond to them.

[SteinRobert]

Animaltrainers always say they would never expect their cat to attack them, but then you see old footage of the cat and them together and there is always a hint of agitation from the big cat.

The interesting part about this Lion is that he seems to be very mild tempered and docile.

He would not be dominate male lion in nature, but the curious and playfull lion...playing with anything...silly by nature.

He seems to enjoy company.

[lionphotostudios]

@SteinRobert any trainer that claims their animal would never attack is an idoit. It is a calculated risk every time a human interacts with any animal capable of doing harm. Lion, horse, snake or dog. This is a very calm lion but still deadly. All my lions enjoy company making them the better choice to work with because of their inate social bonding. You can become one of their pride, but not any safer than if you were another lion in that pride, except you cant defend yourself as well.

[TheSaeed7894]

baby shampoo lol

[moekakke]

The day he takes over the controle you will realize that

he is the muscle and you are just the meat !!

[dissonantmoose]

4:04 That is /not/ the face of a happy kitteh. XD

[bleusaffires]

I love lions & admire you and the lion together but please pray and always be careful! ☺

[darkoelaswad]

just let me say man, u've got balls !!! am not a pussy but i would never do that !lions cant be trusted

[trent8002003]

Does the lion know what you're doing with him? I mean do you think he understands that you're washing him clean and that what you're doing to him may not feel terribly comfortable at the moment but is actually good for him. Is there any chance that such a perception exists in the animal and that's the reason why he *puts up* with it so wonderfully, that is apart from the apparent amazing bond between you and the lion.

[colin4393]

You've got balls, mate.

[colsubsidio]

btw. Male lions have the fastest kill among felines. less than 30 sec.always targeting the back of the neck . their killing instinct is triggered by whatever the reason they wanna have. This is pretty much the king & his little slave __ and u know that !!!! ; ) right ?

[76mrlonely]

WOW thats amazing!!

[Omsy101]

are you in an anxiety state all the time that he might attack you?

[lionphotostudios]

@Omsy101

No, I m not worried, but I always assume that might happen.

Just as if I was working with explosives, I never want to make a mistake that causes a problem.

[scorpionsgottasting]

Finally, someone with a lion in this country that can actually handle him. I am all for exotic pets as long as they can be cared for in this manner, otherwise you do them a disservice and they belong back in the wild.

[MARTINIANO009]

E o bixinho agradece!!

[SteveDutchy]

I don't wanna know what'll happen if some of that soap comes in the lion's eye :P

[jumbi100]

poor lion. could you guys please invest in a large yard for them. i mean come on he is in a jail cell. he obliviously wants more space

[lionphotostudios]

@jumbi100 pay attention this is a shower cage for baths

he doesnt live here. do you live in your shower? Sratch that maybe you do.

[jumbi100]

@lionphotostudios Im sorry it looked at first as if it were his house, my bad though.. one question. where do you guys keep him?

[lionphotostudios]

@jumbi100 He lives right outside my bedroom in a 2000 sq ft enclosure with two den boxes, one 8 x 8 x 8 which is heated in the winter and one 4 x 4 x 8 which is air conditioned in the summer

His enclosure is attached on the far side to his two girlfriend's enclosure which is a litte bigger so they can play together when he wants lion company instead of mine.

[jumbi100]

@lionphotostudios nice,2000 sq feet is plenty so im sure they are happy. Has the male lion ever become aggressive or dangerous when you are with him? I hear different stories from other lion keepers saying they can turn on you anytime while others say they have never had any problems.

[lionphotostudios]

@jumbi100 they can turn on you at any time, just like a house cat, except lions are much bigger. I never had a problem with him, so I trust him with my wife as you can see on other videos I post.

[Carolinesalf]

Foutez la paix aux animaux et dire que 41 connards on marqués qu ils aimais ca !!! Je suis la seule à ne pas aimer !!! pfff Qu on foutent les humains dans ces cages à vie et qu on aillent leurs faires des champoings !!! A MORT les esclavagistes !!!

[EmpressElizabeth1920]

What a beautiful lion. He actually enjoys it. How many times a month are the lions giving a bath? How long have you been working with them? You are so patience and gentle with him.

[lionphotostudios]

@EmpressElizabeth1920 They all gets baths before they go on display at the MGM Hotel Lion Habitat. 40 yrs playing with exotic cats.

[IloveCupcakesandTea]

next time a lion tries to mess with me im jumping in the pool but this is a cute video even though that thing could kill you lol i love lions XD

[lionphotostudios]

@IloveCupcakesandTea look at my other video with cubs swimming

pool not a place to escape a lion

[IloveCupcakesandTea]

@lionphotostudios aww man i thought cats diddnt like water?

[persebra]

@IloveCupcakesandTea

me too, but its probably all the nile crocs in the water that bothers them, i wouldnt like the water either.

[IloveCupcakesandTea]

@persebra hah! lol who would besides the crocidiles i guess were safe no where lol

[RomanSedlak]

thats what i call 1st class service..lucky cats. they look happy.

[rajjikuar]

1;59 the lion is like dad i dont need a bath 

[feartoilet]

i like this guy, crazy, good hearted, brave, thoughtful, observant. everything needed to be a great person.

[reaceuk86]

this guy if off his head, who bathe's a lion, secoundly locks himself in the cage with it at the same time when lions notoriously hate water, u walking a dangerous line

[lionphotostudios]

@reaceuk86 I guy who has bathe the lion from 8 months old when he was taken in as a rescue. Lions dont hate water, they normally are not around a lot of it, but they swim very well. look for other video of cubs swimming

[sakal88]

this lion is pretty

[lionphotostudios]

@sakal88 yes he is. thank you

[lionphotostudios]

@sakal88 thank you

[ivangarcia875]

have u ever got attacked

[lionphotostudios]

@ivangarcia875 no

[djflipso]

dude u got some fucking balls you locked your self in a fucking cage with a lion

[lionphotostudios]

@djflipso not really lion is nice

[n0imaginati0n]

holy shit!

[spriteofbones]

Steppin inside the cage like there's a mere kitten and not a full grown lion takes at least balls the size of a watermelon.

[ALoveForOrcas]

how often do u have to give him a bath?

[dobbins2550]

OK, this video is even scarier(sp?) than the other ones. Just watching this makes me nervous for you. I cannot believe you are so hands-on like this.

[lionphotostudios]

@dobbins2550 been doing this for 40 years, same way

it is like working in dynamite factory just dont make a mistake

[enkultube]

A good example of how fools potentially get killed.

It's all done absolutely wrong.

[lionphotostudios]

@enkultube I understand the fool part, but how would you do it?

[Aphera1]

this dude has balls lol

[payvandkkk]

From this video I have come to the conclusion that its easier to wash a lion than my husky.. or maybe I need a cage

[dgk9448]

whats the point of locking up a lion in a zoo or a place like this? Like seriously? Just wondering.

[lionphotostudios]

@dgk9448 a place like this is better than a zoo because the same people see the same animals every day so it is easy to notice any problems

they were all born in USA since 1924

and they wont be killed to boast someones ego

[dgk9448]

@lionphotostudios awesome

[kwamea20]

0:18 he even locks himself in the cage. white people smh

[FrozenorbX]

A Lion smelling like a baby. :O lol

[savairaahmed]

brave man

[shagrath37]

from what i've learnt from documentaries - lions hate water but it's amazing how this lion is so much enjoying his bath!

[KoKaTa]

this is the nicest lion...i cant get my CAT to shower...and you are the bravest man ever...lock yourself in a cage with a huge monster...wow...he is SOOO CUTE!!!.... the lion i mean...

[droga187]

johnson's baby shampoo? lol XD that's a baby shampoo that grown ass lion should get a old man's shampoo..

[lionphotostudios]

@droga187 baby shampoo is used to protect the eyes. adult shampoo does not protect eyes, too harsh.

[lionphotostudios]

@droga187 use baby shampoo because it doesnt burn the eyes

[lionphotostudios]

@lionphotostudios excuse me boost should have been the word not boast

[omw2012]

man, i have hell giving my shar-pei dog a bath, i cannot imagine giving a lion a bath. YIKES

[UnKyIsBack]

I think you dont put lions traped con jails all time

[lionphotostudios]

@UnKyIsBack this is only a shower cage, not his home.

I assume you have a shower area that is not larger than your home.

[spartan300911]

good job my brother i hope nothing goes wrong, and you have my respects for doin good for the animals, good bless.

[dragonsissiy]

Aww he's liking it a little but is also like "is this necessary? -_-" I am very glad that you treat them well and are one of the people who don't treat them as pets, but as beings. Also nice to know that these lions are the ones being saved, I wish you could save all the ones being mistreated. Also I thought lions didn't like water much. like leopards or tigers enjoy water.

[Cla900]

Cla900 0:17

he looks like a spoilt child about to throw a tantrum lol

[droga187]

how much they pay you to do that?

[saywow2002]

You are an incredibly brave and confident man

[raghaa]

Johnson's BABY shampoo? man.. i wud pis my pants.

[turkanimator1]

dangerous job man!

[moekakke]

Does a lion need a bath ??

[findrajive]

Humans are funny!!

[frozenmouse76]

do you have someone standing buy with a 9mm ready to cap the big boy if he decides shower time is over and lunch time has started.

[lionphotostudios]

no never would

[frozenmouse76]

So what happens if he turns on you , he get destroyed? Do you see any problem with giving such a beautiful creature the mechanism to harm human life ,

The animal always looses right?

[lionphotostudios]

pay attention

I do not allow sticks,prods,whips, etc around my lions let alone guns. Everyone that works with my lions knows the risks and the rewards. No animal would be harmed no matter what happened. Yes they could kill a human, but that is not how they were raised, they trust that we will treat them with love and respect and I have rolls of film of them returning the love. We have had over 88,000 man hours with handlers in direct contact with up to 38 different lions and neither was harmed.

[frozenmouse76]

ok thats pretty good statistics. ill shut up now.

[trent8002003]

@lionphotostudios Pls share the rest of your *roll of films*. I love to see more lion/man interaction of affection and joy!

[x01ax]

Its paradise for those lions

[flamexxic]

I have the same shampoo woot im a lion :o

[laswap1]

nature hasn't needed johnson's baby shampoo in billions of years, what makes you think it does now?

[kevenharbour]

euh because its the smootest shampoo for animals... you dont want irritate their eyes

[trent8002003]

Unbelievable. How did he get this huge cat with sharp teeth and claws to behave like a house trained dog? How did he do it the very first time? Amazing bond and trust.

[Wolffheartt]

they prob raised it as a cub, would you bite your family?

[trent8002003]

I won't. But lions will. Pride members frequently engage in rough housing and skirmishes.

[Wolffheartt]

thats why you bite their ears and show that you are the leader and that they dont mess with you.

[antbrg66]

can you tell me if him is a barbary lion? how weight it? how is long?

[AamirSiddiq]

What do you feed him?

[lionphotostudios]

food is prepared balance diet called Nebraska Brand plus steaks as treats

[AamirSiddiq]

Nice neat and clean LION..

Did he ever attacked you?

[rikulover66]

Wow, and this is your pet? I've always wanted an exotic pet for once. I once had a deer and a coyote, but I'd kill to have a lion. :DDD

[LesCrapio]

I always say: "if you wanna do it well, do it yourself.".

[VaxKuAra]

Wow this is amazing.. I love lions, they are my favorite animals.. and it's awesome to see you taking such a good care of them, great job man.

[somaalboy]

wooow!!  good work.

[NoShadowOfDoubt]

How long have you known this lion? how old was he when you started handling him? thanks,

[lionphotostudios]

he is now 13 yrs and we rescued him at 8 months.

[Mohagrus]

its amazing how he knows your the boss

[lionphotostudios]

he knows I m not the boss, but he can trust me

[snoopval]

i love the mgm lions, how cool you work with them, they re hollywood legends

[adanali63]

does he ever attack you

[lionphotostudios]

never in his 13 yrs

[4chukwuebuka]

raw.

[thefireguy22]

what do you do as a profession? i would love a job like this

[lionphotostudios]

i work with lions

[thefireguy22]

that is exactly what i have had in my mind. i have always said i want to work with lions. i am willing to devote my life to them and i just need to know how to get there. how DO i get there?

[jerumd]

Can i work with your lions??

[lionphotostudios]

if you have lots of training.

[XxBrootalPandaXx]

Where do you work with them at.? I'm only thirteen, but when I am of age I'd like to work with you and your lions at your institution. What would be the requirements.? Comment or message me with the information please. Thank you.
