Kevin Richardson, a very special Lioness, & her Cubs

[ladyjezebele]

For a female lion to let him near her cubs shows the trust far more then anything else. Just like all mom's they can be down right vicious to even their own pride when it comes to their cubs. Truly an amazing video and I too am quite jealous!

[kmcdnl321]

Okay it's official, I HAVE to meet him. Who's with me?

[TenaciousMs]

such a showoff !! one thing to be cuddling with them . . but napping with them too!! (can you sense the jelously in my voice) :(

[rampking1]

@TenaciousMs That napping with them is what bonds you with them. I adopted a feral cat that was totally wild/aggressive, but napping with her completely changed her attitude towards me. Now she wants me around 24 hrs a day and constantly wants to be held in my arms. No, not the same as lions but still basic cat behavior.

[KingOfLuck1]

Wow man...fuckin A!

[ultimateWACKO9]

Nice ending :D

[TheELFlove]

i want like that too...jealous...

[yognaut619]

hes so lucky to be able to interact with them like that

[GoldenBudgie]

Beautiful, beautiful animals. If you can't see their beauty, you're obviously blind.

[Lana14081]

Храни его Бог!

[FrozentearsOrg]

Amazing! Changing the world's perception of Lions one day at a time.

Thank you for all of your work!

We're truly blessed to have someone with a heart like Kevin's to help educate us all.

[aoiyukina]

@ 2:29 The lioness was actually thinking: This guy dead yet? And then she proceeds to poke him to check and when he moved she was like, Aw he moved! Crap! :(

[lampnmarco]

I tried this and got bitten???

[whrobins431]

@1:05 so fuckinn cute!!!! rawr!!

[trebballin318]

Lion: my paw on your hand Kevin: no, my hand on your paw Lion: noo, my paw on your hand Kevin: I don't think so, my hand on your paw Lion: ehh, how about I eat your hand? Kevin: that would be mean Lion: ok I'll just lick it Kevin: aww I love you Lion: love you too! Kevin: zzzzzz Lion: zzzzzzz

[MyHeartWobblesForYou]

ha at 2:34

Lion: My paw on top of your

Kevin: No my hand

Lion: no my paw

Kevin: No my hand

lion: I eat your hand OOOOMMMMMM

[MyHeartWobblesForYou]

I love the way he says "Ma boy".... I love this... gives me hope for humans.. :')

[thegreenway1994]

Lord of the ring music playing in the background. Love it

[monawatts]

A beautiful example of how we were meant to be with all creatures and nature itself; respectful, peaceful, understanding and caring. Thank you for that glimpse of what I believe we will eventually return to.

[ImperialManiac1]

Right before she bites his face off.

[sierra043]

i need to chill with my dog as much as possible over break... haven't seen him in a couple of months. BRING ON THE STEAK AND DOGGIE TREATS

[Deb545]

So cute!! The last part of the video when the lioness is putting her paw on Kevin's head so tenderly brings tears to my eyes! So so beautiful...

[westsideCAMERAMAN]

@Deb545 WHY U CRYING FOR NO REASON?

[lakamora002]

i had that ultimate trust with my cat before she died =( , i was playing with her cubs and she didn't do anything about that

[s890274]

Awwwe

[musvlehead]

at 2:30 the lioness showing love...that is amazing to me and i must admit im a bit envious of kevin wish i had access or a relationship such as this with these majestic and wonderfull cats!

[ownogab]

thumbs up if you here that the music is the same as the music in Lord of the ring when they are in The shire

[unoiamacutie]

Awww! The ending was so beautiful.

[achu1897]

makes my heart so happy <3

[Maranwe]

She is probably happy for the help with the cubs... Lion males can be so useless ;)

[d0nth4t30nthis]

I hear Lord of the Rings music in the background!

[GHANA2000023]

At the end him asleep in the same enclosure as the lioness. Not even Craig busch does that.

[pennjersey83]

7 people worship satan

[pennjersey83]

This is amazing

[ayjay67]

It is nice to be accepted

[maniarmani]

wen do they bang?

[RosieWolf59210]

She sadly kills one..

[Leidachinaman]

@RosieWolf59210 That is not the same lioness.

[1324gugugaga1324]

omg the end was just toooo cute!

[TehLB]

His little roar at 1:56 is my favorite part <3

[charger19691]

Simply incredible. These lions love this man.

[itsme35]

And to think.....some sick fucks kill these beautiful animals for fun

[MasterMind6177]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaawww thats sooo cute

[Buzmoo]

GAHH!!! Cute cubbbbbbssss!!!!! GIVE ME ONE NOW!

[RCaIabraro]

What kind of cold-hearted bastard "dislikes" this vid??

[ialrai]

@RCaIabraro ugly ppl

[NARUTOSHIPPUDEN1FAN]

Cool a former BackStreet Boy is good with animals

[TheThekiller911]

My**

[TheThekiller911]

May dream is work with Kevin

[Leidachinaman]

@TheThekiller911 Go to his website and look at the volunteering tab. They are always looking for free help so they can save up money to open the park to the public. Kevin desparately needs his own park imo, he would be able to do so much more conservation wise. I would really like to see him succeed which is why I am volunteering there next summer.

[MZdeAndreSODMG]

this was B-E-A-uuuuuuuuuutiful!!! i MUST admit...it was very touching <3

[lerchli]

bravo bravo

[UchihaE93]

O.O *jawdrop* this is amazing! and the ending was so CUTE! <3

[sabrina13112]

CUTE<3

[RapFRAP]

This guy is amazing. To understand animals you must be fearless and have a trust with them like no other. In my opinion he us making this world realize if we all slow down and live each other no harm will be done. There won't be a reason.

[GoodLifeGodLike]

How the hell can a man get along with lions and we can't get along with each other?

[Leidachinaman]

@GoodLifeGodLike Sad isn't it?

[MikagamiMenou]

@Leidachinaman Very.

[Leidachinaman]

@GoodLifeGodLike Because people are stupid and corrupt... not to mention arrogant and ignorant.

[Snagprophet]

@GoodLifeGodLike Because all Lions get on with each other. Never been any conflict within the species.

[megaknightz]

@Snagprophet except when two male lions fight for leadership

[gpackwood1]

@megaknightz :: I think you mean territory. Animals has no cerebral cortex of the brain as we do and have no way to understand complex concepts such a leadership.

They are the territorial SWAT Team.

[megaknightz]

@gpackwood1 yeah that

[polifemus244]

@GoodLifeGodLike he raises them from birth i think

[TorontoBoi]

@GoodLifeGodLike because lions don't obsess over handbags, shoes and other meaningless trinkets, so he can relate to them.

[MsBuckleyfan]

Kevin, there is a special place in Heaven for you. God Bless.

[carlos3o5]

aaaa

[jigglyfidda125]

This guy has testicles the size of apples

[bandotaku]

Is this the SAME Kevin Richardson from BSB? It looks like him.

[Leidachinaman]

@bandotaku No, completely different guy.

[bandotaku]

@Leidachinaman Oh, ok. I was gonna ay, that's pretty far from the music biz.

[BailliveDeCaen]

7 people need therapy

[FrazzleAndTheWolf]

mmm, this hand is delicious

[universoeterno1]

Beautiful. Thank you for posting it.

[Prettydamncat123]

Who said only dogs were mans bestfriend

[siobhan104]

I'm crying my eyes out here. What an ending.

[GladRags]

@siobhan104 thats what i thought too! this video makes u wanna raise a lion by yoruself :)

[PansarHjalmar]

DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY

[cadbury1799]

The tune on this video (like the song) is from Lord of the Rings :-)

[Neeqd]

wow... that was really touching. But thats how it was supposed to be with all of Gods creatures. Some have the ability to do it still.

[Leidachinaman]

@Neeqd Everyone has the ability. Some just don't have the knowledge, either because they haven't been educated or because they are willingly ignorant of it.

[Neeqd]

@Leidachinaman Agreed.

[Skabeeri]

absolutely beautiful

[xhurseloverx]

people who say lions are horrible because of the way they hunt poor gazelle and zebras. even baby ones, well they can shut up. We kill ppigs, chickens and cows, im sure they have families too.

[NoGoodWithUserNames]

The ending made me cry, it should me a hope for humanity. The world needs more people like Kevin

[Zarroth0125]

aww how cute

[waniLUVjesse]

so beautiful..

[XNewsiesX]

What love and compassion. I don't know what I'd give to have a chance to love these creatures as he does. They're just so beautiful... It's amazing how much trust she can put in him to show him her cubs, and let him touch them...

[rikorichard1]

Gyönyörűűűűűűűűűű

[FiringOnAllCylinders]

Imagine just casually walking down a street with a lion without a leash

[EvanQuinn07]

@FiringOnAllCylinders I wonder if the cat would protect him like a dog might if he was threatened? ...say he's strolling along and here comes a big ass pitbull or german shepard getting ready to attack.....

[xaenon]

@FiringOnAllCylinders

A leash wouldn't do you a bit of good if a lion decided to go after someone or something. Cats are all muscle and it would drag you along without even noticing you're there.

[FiringOnAllCylinders]

@xaenon whats that gotta do with what i said

[xaenon]

@FiringOnAllCylinders

Shit, sorry man. Musta hit the wrong link.

[italyboy2009]

most adorable think at the end i never seen this before in my entire life

[Buzmoo]

such beatiful relationship between man and lions :)

[erazerGG]

what is the song at the end?

[jebemdinamozagreb]

you sir have a balls of steel

[jabb619hardypowerkez]

2:39 best part This proves that humans and lions can get along..... i wnat acub a little one so i van rase and when hes all grown up set him free eventhough i might not see im again.......... but ill try to c him again and lets hope he remembers me and live the memories just like that christina the lion movie... x]

[bobbiegirl10001]

So cute!

[Sylentera]

I loved the ending & also how the Father wanted to see his cubs, too cute:)..I wish I could pet & hug them, they are my favorite animals:)

[xXShadowKiteixX]

HEY!! That music is from Lord of the Rings!!

this man-lion relationship is amazing ^__^

[psichoparano]

@xXShadowKiteixX :)

[TheWUZZAMAN]

Awwwwwww......

[lilsister2]

I love their little calm, intimate, game of footsies.

[darulshafa]

Amazing ... Impressed ... So beautiful

[olVlIlSTx]

thumbs up if u were watching this everytime it end u replay it over and over again :D

[psichoparano]

@olVlIlSTx :D

[minnesotagrab]

i ran to go pet my can when i saw this lol

[crimsoneyes36]

awwwwwww shoooo cute...>.<

[MsTanzmaus]

adorable!!

[ChadR124]

Man I lost some guy points on this video. So damn touching. This mans a pro at what he does, that's for sure. Lioness bopping him on the head then falling asleep with him, so cute haha.

[WeAreChuckNorris]

I think kevin should start his own Youtube Channel. It would make everyone happy and he would get the money he needs for the settlement.

[crimsoneyes36]

@WeAreChuckNorris he sold all the lions..is it true?

[WeAreChuckNorris]

@crimsoneyes36 I seriously doubt that. Either someone lied or their trying to take him down. Either way its proabably an asshole reporter trying to get some atention.

[Rafarish1]

@WeAreChuckNorris Ya...but i really like him hope he is doing his job rite^^

[Leidachinaman]

@Rafarish1 There is no way in hell he would sell all his animals. Especially not Meg, Ami, Tau, Napolean. Don't you worry... the guy you heard this from is a troll or an idiot.

[Leidachinaman]

@Rafarish1 There are few that treat their animals as well as this man does. That I can assure you of.

[Leidachinaman]

@WeAreChuckNorris His wife has one for him. Mandy... I think her name is Mandie4321

[the26thhour]

Who da King Magazine says 9 out of 10 big cats prefer eating their "tamers" only after they've lulled them into a false sense of security.

[kevinguzzer]

the Shire song really fits this video :D

[xeugl697]

Love kevin lion man

[Boneau4711]

This is real love!

[anastrophe]

@WestSideRunners6 nah, probably PETA people. who believe there should be no interaction between people and animals.

[yucky1336]

I love the lord of the rings THEMEEEE

[kmburgess88]

is this music from lord of the rings? :) lol love the video

[xeugl697]

Kevin Richardson <3 <3

[RoseLilies]

LOL guys calm down. Don't bash on westsiderunners, as I don't think he meant to group every hunter together (ofc I can be wrong). Perhaps the correct term would have been poachers???

[s004237]

I think that Lioness has a crush on Kevin ;)

[musicalminor]

I would do the exact same thing as him.... you know... if they couldn't tear me apart easily...

[artisticgirlk330]

This is beautiful.

[logijes]

I agree with you Shamato, it is amazing!

[pecintapiano]

2:30 OMG SHE LOVES KEVIN !!!

[Shamato]

Every time I watch this I can't help but scrunch my hands up against the bottom of my chin and just smile uncontrollably. :D

[bxaxdx30]

WOW REALLY I LIKE THIS AND IM A HUNTER .....WestSideRunners6 2 U REALLY NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT U SAY BECAUSE NOT ALL HUNTERS WANT TO KILL EVERY ANIMAL IN SIGHT SOOO JUST DEAL WITH THE DISLIKES AND GROW UP

[bxaxdx30]

i sure dont dislike this im a hunter LEARN HOW TO JUDGE PEOPLE BEFORE U TALK NOT EVERY HUNTER WANTS TO KILL EVERY ANIMAL IN THE WORLD

[Leidachinaman]

@bxaxdx30 If you hunt for food that's fine. If you hunt for sport and trophies that's just as bad as poaching.

[TheBolkan]

No words. No explanations. Only simple clear feelings!

[miatageekscott]

I LOVE the ending to this video!!

[beauhunnter]

Unbelievable. Lucky guy!

Love the theme music in this video. very appropriate.

[01MLin]

Beast: "Night babe"

Lioness: "Roar"

Beast: "Morning babe. Had a good night's sleep?"

[mastersg80]

its nice......suits the video...........guess its better than Metallica playing in the video......nice video

[kryolite]

whats with the lord of the rings music in the background

[beauhunnter]

@kryolite He actually called one of his Lions Gandalf.

[ZounaForPeace]

Whaa so cute! And Kevin is a really amazing person to be able to sleep with a lion which gave birth. Truly beautiful

[khenneth02222]

i like when the liones kissed Kevin head while he was sleeping... :))...

[GrinchaFilms]

Lol at the lord of the rings music

[ThePhoenix370]

[helentheswimstar]

[lilorlybear1146]

That last scene where they are sleeping beside each other, coupled with the wonderful LOTR song in the background, is so damn precious it legit makes me tear up everytime I watch this. What a lucky & truly special man he is.

[karinnica]

[Leidachinaman]
