Lioness swiming with Kevin Richardson

[imthebottomline]

Yep, because its not just one lion that loves him its the whole pack male n female. But does it defy the laws of nature? Love, trust n respect are essential for all groups, prides, packs n families

[deltarag]

the dog whisperer is shit to Kevin, but the dog whisperer does prevent our dogs from shitting on our lawns

[kayne58]

and so the lion fell in love with the man..



[philaman1972]

You know, this is simply amazing and defies the laws of nature.

[p0seyd0n]

@philaman1972 tell me the laws of nature pls.

[thetristonator]

damn nature u aint scary no more

[lucker69ify]

holy fuck

[dogfriend07]

This is amazing :)

[DESIBADBOYS]

Dam he gets a lot of pussy

[toughserb145]

My mom cant swim, but she is a lioness. how?

[eurasian27]

@toughserb145 lol

[craneywatch]

I used to read the book of Kevin Richardson. It was truly captivating.

[xaenon]

I am so jealous of this guy. To be so completely accepted and trusted by such a magnificent creature is just awesome.

[chatroomdrama]

"Through this unique relationship with these animals, he can get them to do anything"

Buttsecks imminent

[gligli026]

incrivell!!

[browntiger1995]

This guy is a mad lion beast "RWAR"

[FreakishSalmon]

how the heck do you swim with a lion and not die ?

[mainsstay]

Unbelievable footage! I love animals too, and I hope and pray for their protection from inhumane people.

[PettRamn]

at 1:37 the wilderbeast are like "wtf am I looking at"

[SobrietyandSolace]

Trust

I wish I had trust like that in one human being.

[Fabimatic]

never heard of any crocodiles idiot ????

[ThebestGta123]

SIGH...I hope lions can love me the way they love Kevin..

[Prue974]

lions dont like water....isnt this a good thing, alligators/crocs and more?

[MavHunter20XX]

The lioness is like, "This is mine...I don't know what it is, but it's mine."

[l3iiSON]

150kg lioness WHAT A BEAST

[AzDoll714]

badass

[biskyttbis]

great kevin...respect!!

[sfcender2012]

they seem more affectionate than domesticated cats dont they?

[Leidachinaman]

@sfcender2012 People that keep house pets, especially cats for some reason... aren't normally nearly as loving as Kevin is with these lions. The reason for the affection is the relationship he has with them. He treats them like friends, never forces them to do things they don't want to do, respects and loves them. In return, he receive equal treatment. He has a great quote, "There is a huge difference between being accepted by an animal and being tolerated by an animal."

[DonChilenito]

@Leidachinaman. he doesent make them to do anything caus ehe could end dead if he force one of them.. or ccan aswell turn into an enemy for them if he does something they dont like.

[Leidachinaman]

@DonChilenito Why don't you try telling that to most trainers?

[DonChilenito]

@Leidachinaman. what trainers? there are many trainers around the world that knows. it... and many of the trainers doesent do what kevin does.

[Leidachinaman]

@DonChilenito Please reread your comments before replying again. Not trying to be a dick or anything but it's hard to understand exactly what you are trying to say.. The first comment, to me, looked like you were trying to explain to me why Kevin does what he does.. I don't need an explaination trust me. I said try telling that to most trainers because a good portion of trainers do not pay attention to what their animal does and does not like. They just want them to perform so they can get paid.

[DonChilenito]

@Leidachinaman. yah sorry i wrote the first comment from my iphone 4.. it's hard as hell ;P

[sfcender2012]

@Leidachinaman I see that, but I was thinking Lions are pack animals and perhaps inherently more social.

[Leidachinaman]

@sfcender2012 They are known as the most social of all cats, true enough. :P

[MrMyHistory]

Medo semeado mais medo colhido, amor entregue, estudando muitooooo antes e com juízo, provou do que foi capaz e muito mais emocionante para quem assiste do que para quem vê caçadores atirando em quem estava em casa sossegado tomando um sol.

[eyeluv2dance]

I would love to play and swim like that with a lion. They're so affectionate with him, it's enviable.

[mrstucko]

the gazelles must be thinking "STOP TEACHING LIONS HOW TO SWIM"

[momoskiey1]

At 1:09 shes like hold me!

MY DREAM :D... swim with a lion and be bestfriends with a lion...

[StrangeFilm]

WEll the bitches don't like him but the pussy loves him :P

[TheYuuta89]

omg....this so unbelievable...its just amazing...i'm so amazed and impressed...

[SilviaEffe007]

absolutely love it :) bravo for loving n respecting them 

[patchieloves]

I am so jealous!!!! :))

[xjspear]

what movie/tv show is this from?

[MrsSmillas]

i seriously think this man has a gift. he's like a negotiater between animals and human beings!

[Rocksquad37]

wow.



[PrancingCornmuffins]

[09fulgraymatter]

please teach me for loving lion and give me one i love lions

[daylightsunsets92]

what up tarzan.

[SuzukiAkiraReita]

My right ear enjoyed this video very much.

[xxdarkheartsxx]

@SuzukiAkiraReita lol dude, thx for your comment, I thought my headphones broke until I saw this comment.

[Nacturl]

People who think that those lions will kill Kevin someday, are assholes. Lions, and especially lionesses swim ONLY when they are going to save their cubs etc.

[Leidachinaman]

@Nacturl Well... there has been documentation of a pride that lived in marsh lands and had no choice but to learn to swim. The cubs grew up around water constantly so it never bothered them. But if the cat didn't grow up around exessive water where swimming was a MUST then normally, no, they don't like swimming. In any event, I agree with you about the Kevin haters. People just remain blissfully... willingly ignorant to his plight.

[vikkkkaayyyy]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen.

[aznmafia77]

wow, this was on tvo? DA FUQ.

[nagwa70]

i like this man :D

[iedanus]

just 1 word. WOW.

[jaquinblanc]

If you had a husband who is swimming with lions and kissing and hugging them, there is no need to ever feel insecure. and most of all, no one will come near.

[musicianniaz]

Wow...she just jumped in after him simply because she thought that he was in trouble! Simply stunning! A+++

[prinilen]

in the end she's looking to the cameras like "are we done now?"

[MoxixDubstep]

omfg thats amazing

[KOOL2011]

lol imagine having a gang of lions. Who would have the balls to mess with you?

[BloodyMilkshake]

@KOOL2011 Chuck Norris.

[Cupit29]

@KOOL2011 Someone with a gun? xP

[MadeInOregon27]

@KOOL2011 Another gang of lions? XD

[Nievesggness]

i hope his back will be good, it would be bad to break that relation ship

[016632]

21 ppl are pissed of that a pussy cat can swim and they cant

[alphie10]

one day megans gona get hungry and he will be mince meat

[SherylAnny]

shut up about some animals being wild. every animal could be considered wild had it not been for the man trying to domesticate some of them! in that sense, even lions as you've seen here can be domesticated but it might take more time and effort than for other animals. -.- "wild" is but a label us people use for all those animals that we are afraid to domesticate. animals just like us are born innocent and then are shaped into what they become later on. insticts exist but they CAN be controlled.

[Leidachinaman]

@SherylAnny I agree with you up to the instincts part. Instincts are a result of your environment as you grow. Common experiences that are reacted to in the same way by a large percentage of a group doesn't make it an instinct, it makes it an obvious responce to said situation. I do not really believe in "instinct" at all to be honest... No animal is programmed to respond to something in a specific way...

[SherylAnny]

@Leidachinaman I agree with what you said up to a point but I do think some glimpse of instict exists in all of us, just like the instict of survival. All Im saying is it just aint that strong as people make it out to be and the grade in which said insticts will be expressed by someone has greatly to do with the enviroment and situations they have grown up in.

[nigsplzz]

THEY'RE LIKE KITTIES BUT 10 TIMES BIGGAAHHH!!

[cubsfan01991]

haha Gazelles at 1:35, "What the fuck is going on over there?"

[curlyfry44]

I luv the end with her leg around his shoulder.....that is so sweet......I think this is the first time I've seen a lion full on swim.....damn

[jigglyfidda125]

This guy has testicles the size of apples

i cant describe how Im feeling right now....im so jealous

i wuld be scared still if a lion play with me, real talk.

[ScrewFearMe]

@Akabuena i would love it if a lion would like to play with me.....id welcome it

[FrazzleAndTheWolf]

Lol at the end she's just like "s'up homie"

[TheKonrad1984]

This man is the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lions are the big cats that hate water.

[imprettyist11]

maybe he is a lion lover?

[TheDavidedmond]

I Think lioness are honey and wanna have sex with Him.

Lioness: Oh kevin come on Just a Short Time.

Kevin: Oh No I cant, cause am human.

Lioness: what about I suck Your cock.

Kevin: wtf Omg

[kuska7cp]

@TheDavidedmond stop trying to be funny

[lamaya43]

What the fuck is it with white people and dangerous animals? I mean, this brother is from S. Africa, you figured he 'd know better. When a lion rips him apart people are going to be saying "the lion went crazy". No, the lion got bored with playing with its food.

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 Ignorance is bliss they say. If you would like to post exactly why you think they'll kill him one day I would be glad to logically prove you wrong.

[lamaya43]

@Leidachinaman They are lions...I figure that's enough.

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 Yes they are lions, animals capable of a wide range of emotion just like humans are and with the capability thought. Just because you view them as mindless killers doesn't mean that they are. All animals are products of their environment. A wild lion, for example, has to kill to eat otherwise it starves to death.

[lamaya43]

@Leidachinaman I don't think they are mindless creatures, I believe they are EXTREMELY intelligent, I respect animals and don't eat them for this reason, but guess what...THEY ARE LIONS!!!! Once you start applying human thought process and emotions to them, or any other INTELLIGENT, large, predatory animal as such, you may find yourself "reborn" from several of their rectums.

And by the way, equating the human concept of compassion with intelligence is not a logical proof.

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 All of these videos should be plenty of evidence to back me up in saying that these animals are capable of emotion & thought. As I said, all animals (humans included) are products of their environment. If raised in a truely loving environment where one isn't forced to do things that they don't like but is instead treated with respect then that animal will return that respect and love. Take George Adamson for example, he did his work with reintroduced wild lions and was never attacked.

[lamaya43]

@Leidachinaman Dude,there is no such thing as proof by example. Ask any philosopher or mathematician and they'll tell you that. Also, THEY"RE LIONS!!!!...are you daft or something? Their environment is millions of years of evolution and instinct, instinct is why there are so many unplanned HUMAN pregnancies, we have the instinct to have sex even when we are not prepared for the consequences. Their instinct is to KILL their PREY!!! For fucks sake, why do I keep responding to you.

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 .... You are looking at the situation from one side as if humans never had the same instict of killing for food. You do know that they don't just kill everytime they see prey right? They kill ONLY when they are hungry which is only 3-4 times a week depending on the pride size. It is also a fact that lions will be scavengers whenever they have the chance. You ARE acting like they are mindless killers, re-examine your posts.

[lamaya43]

@Leidachinaman What is it with you and lions? Were you raised by lions? Are you part lion? Is your mama part lion? Was your best firend growing up a lion? ARE YOU A LION?! That would explain alot.

AND WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP RESPONDING TO YOUR POSTS!!!!!!

I"M DONE, YOU WIN.  LIONS ARE THE SWEETEST CREATURES ON EARTH. THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN THE SCOUTS, PTA, AND HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS.

THERE, YOU WIN...ALL HAIL SIMBA!!!!

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 Congratulations you just proved that your either a troll or an idiot.

[mousavsm]

@lamaya43 Lions are amazing and so is every animal on this planet..... It's not a bad thing for a human to appreciate wildlife and not think that we're any better than any other animal on this planet. Leidachinaman is not the only one who thinks this way....

[lamaya43]

@mousavsm So you're a vegan. Seriously, honestly, not a vegetarian, but full on vegan. Even animals that "organically" produce eggs and milk are exploited and treated like shit...so, for you to be dropping this knowledge on me(you know, 'cause I like to start every morning stabbing a kitten, clubbing a baby seal, and ass raping a manatee) , you MUST be a full fledge, no mik, no cheese, no omelet, no honey eating mutha-fuckin' vegan. Seriously, honestly, be real, you're a vegan, RIGHT?

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 I'm not a vegan. You are just whining and complaining because everyone doesn't agree with you instead of posting an arguement with factual support or even with logical support... All you do is go straight to insulting people, which is the go-to for people with no real arguement.

[lamaya43]

@Leidachinaman THEY ARE LIONS!!!....what fucking factual support are you looking for. And factual support for what? And how did I insult you? Did I say, "You're a fucking retard 'cause you think it's ok to swim with lions"

or

"You're a goddamned idiot for thinking wild animals won't hurt you if you're nice to them"

Now, if I had said those things, that would be insulting you, but I didn't.

Here is something factual for you, that cow you ate last week, he'd rather be alive right now.

[Leidachinaman]

@lamaya43 (1/2) True enough, but humans are omnivories that means we eat meat. Instead of denying my natural and potentially having to resort to taking pills to keep up on my vitamin intakes and things like that I just accept that fact.

"What is it with you and lions? Were you raised by lions? Are you part lion? Is your mama part lion? Was your best firend growing up a lion? ARE YOU A LION?! That would explain alot." This is definately not a friendly post... Out of space, look at next post...

[Leidachinaman]

@Iamaya43 (2/2) If you were to walk up to a random lion in the wild and expect that just because you are nice to it it will accept you and grow attached to you.. your a fool. But if you grow up around these animals and show them love and respect from day 1... things are very different. The bonds formed here are much stronger than what an average human's would be with their dog. And that FACT, to me, is enough to claim he won't be killed by them. Argh I need one more....

[Leidachinaman]

@Leidachinaman (LAST) As long as he doesn't do anything ridiculously foolish he'll be fine. Hell, even when he completely ignored clear warning signs from a fully grown adult male, Tsavo, who he didn't have a very strong bond with... He was attacked but Tsavo showed restraint enough to only really ruff him up. He didn't even seriously injure him he was just putting Kevin in his place. You need to know more about these animals before you make ignorant posts like "The lion will get bored one day"

[Mizzcheergirl]

@lamaya43 someones a little jealous that they cant run with the wild..! lol (JP)

[504Anon]

TELL ME WHY?!

[lonogugeadult]

this is such a bad Idea! wild animals are "wild" because they are inherently unpredictable it is easy to think that the lion and Kevin are connecting for now but any tiny problem could cause them to attack him remember what happened to that bear guy who ended up getting eaten after like 30 years of being with them?

[juanmb87]

@lonogugeadult And your point is?

[lonogugeadult]

@juanmb87 Good ole Kevin might be killed if he keeps swimming with lions

[Leidachinaman]

@lonogugeadult I very seriously doubt Meg or Ami would kill him. Even accidentally in play. With those two girls I can garantee that isn't going to happen. Also, you are talking about Timothy Treadwell. No Tim did NOT spend 30 years with "his" bears. He only spent summers with them and knew ZERO of them from birth. He didn't even come into contact with them all that much. The differences in the two are massive. I rank Tim as an idiot, Kevin however is not.

[lonogugeadult]

@Leidachinaman my mistake i just think its risky

[juanmb87]

@lonogugeadult I see your point. Going to the other story the Bear guy was not with them though, he was among them but not with them!..Well let's see what happens to this guy.

[DerbyLioness]

My two aunts are named Meg and Amy and Meg's husbands name is Kevin. She loved this.

[bobbiegirl10001]

I want to stop crying...but I can't...

[JCStanton117]

I met a sea-lioness last night. Now I just wish I could go back. The time we had was not enough. We never even exchanged names because it really didn't even seem to matter.

[NefariousNarcissist7]

What's up with the chuck norris jokes?!

[OlaNaTungee6]

jeez, these lions are huge!

[yutzy1]

I like the one horned gemsbok hahaha

[skydark]

I have a dog. He's a ferocious beast...as long as I don't step on him.

[DangerVanGorilla]

Those things are monstrous!

[musicbabylove1]

i feel incredibly nervous just watching this.

[tatisasukekun]

Nossa,queria ser o Kevin,meu sonho é poder brincar assim com leões e outros animais selvagens. +) são lindas demais essas cenas!!^^

[reddevilkev]

This shows that even Predators can be as pets. People shoot them, drive them away destroy their world of living and just LOOK what happens if a man with true hart comes. They just like teddy bears thats why we finaly must start thinking seriously about wildlife

[Nacturl]

@reddevilkev

Earning their trust would take years. It's like sending a grown dog to another family. Earning it's trust takes a long time. Kevin handraised that lioness and played with her everyday since she was born. Kevin is like her best friend.

People drive them away because they are dangerous and most people are scare of them. Hunting big cats is not right, because I don't the hunters shoot them for their meat, but self-defence is always right.

[spurnthemuse]

Don't use "feline" "porcine" "bovine" "canine" as nouns. They are adjective words. Also a dam is not the water behind a dam, a dam is the wall that holds the water.

[elvenmagick]

@spurnthemuse Hate to say this, but feline, bovine, and canine are all nouns as well as adjectives, plus the word dam is not just the barrier it is also a reference to a body of water contained by a dam . . . check the dictionary, I even double checked before replying here

[vivelhistoire]

Cuuute kitty kitty! <3

[portinaribe]

There used to be a time (and it used to be a fact) when science asserted that felines and water did not mix, just like oil and water. How great it is to be wrong when it comes to earthlings becoming united (or reunited, for that matter)..!

[muniiam]

cooooooool

[moochie123ism]

awwww i like the ending. how the cat just posted up.. like whats up now ??!!

[kkorova]

Nobody is the pet on no one here... this is such a horizontal beautiful connection between animal and men

[DietStroke]

@kkorova so you're another one of those idiots who think humans aren't animals? why not just say species to species

[Leidachinaman]

@DietStroke Not very productive if you are trying to convince someone of something to instantly insult them. Although I agree with you, it is foolish to think that humans aren't animals... and sadly enough.. most people do think that way.

[MrPouria2sadjadi]

The lion is stroking him !!! i bet it even takes him for a walk !! lol

He is a man of god, taming lions one of the great job and responsibility. too good  kevin.

[Leidachinaman]

@mrajnadar10 He isn't taming lions. Watch more of his videos.

[Anvilshock]

@mrajnadar10 No, not a man of god. A man with a brain and a heart. Big difference.
