  • once reason the Lion became so defensive was probably becoz of how hard he smacked its Stomach when it was lying on the ground.....

  • someone fire the producer now... what a piece of shit clip. Horrible sensationalist editing...

  • He wasnt attacked!!! How fake is that!

  • @LadyLillianContessa It probably did happen, but they didnt capture it on film so they made a fake reconstruction

  • i actually wish they did kill Steve...such a dumb fuck

  • This video editing is so fake. What a load of wankers.

  • thumbs up if you liked this Attacked by an African lion - Steve Leonard - My Life with Animals: BBC wildlife

  • The lion was probably moving toward Steve and somebody with a stick tried to prevent it from getting close enough to attack him (whether that was the lion's intention or not) which is why the lion was strafing. Steve had turned his back to the lion which is an instinctual invitation for a predator to take advantage of prey. I'm not saying that's what was happening. Just that it's dangerous messing around with undomesticated animals whose behavior (however natural) will appear suddenly erratic.

  • i think they wanted to create drama with steve and the lions

  • if you look closely at 1:45/6 you see the sticks way to close to the lions. the reason why they where on edge was because their was someone new and unfamiliar, but they weren't doing anything till the sticks we there. Other wise they where being causaous even when Kevin was their they knew, that he had there trust. And so they let the other guy in there too.

    "if that makes scene"

  • The smell of fear.

  • @LadyLillianContessa You are right. The title is BS but the scenes caught on film were not edited...

  • they fuck!! sikerler

  • first of all if its your first time petting a lion dont be stupid and pound his chest,pet it and make it fell loved and comfortable....

  • YO BBC. Y U BE POKIN WILD ANIMALS 4 VIEWS, BRUH? UNETHICAL BREH.

  • fake as shit

  • all these people saying its fake and all that... do u really believe they'll let him in without precautions? Rightly so there should be guys in there with sticks and all that... no one wants to be eaten by a lion.

  • @bugsyhans If you don't want to be eaten, then don't go and pat them on the stomach! You should only do such things if you dare, and/or believe it's safe. Even if they're lions, they can easily be threatened!

  • Someone hasn't had their KFC...

  • THIS SUCKS.. i am ashamed to also unfortunately be named steve leonard.

  • at 1:46 you can see sticks in the side of the screen... and if the lions were relaly atacking him why would they run away form him when they jumped up... bullshit.

  • FAKE AND GAY

  • I think that was what happened: 2nd lion comes to sniff the man, one of the crew guy poke him to get off the scene. And lion gives the reaction, that made other lion anxious and that made them feel threatened.. Thats why the sirious growlings for, not "I'm gonna hunt you and kill you and eat the shit out of you"..

    They made them uncomfortable ant they react.. They are predators after all.. Not cuttie cats.. They kill to survive if thats their nature you can't help it.. Misunderstandings happen..

  • the reason why its not faked.. is that the lion doesnt give a rat shit... they could kill any of those guys with one paw hit int he face.. and these cats are quick.. very quick

  • it's fake the lions are nice :(

  • fake hahha well it look exiting but its fake

  • its not fake you re tard

  • He knew the lions were pissy yet he still went in, too bad they didnt eat his retarded ass

  • Pause 1:46 you see that they purposely agitated the lions with the long sticks.

  • 1.17 'Yeah bitch come and get me'. It must be great to be a lion. Nothing to fear. You can be like a pimp not give a fuck because you know everyone respects you.

  • wow that dude was REALLY stupid to go in

  • i bet he shat his pants

  • OMG are they kidding us ??

    

  • You crazy motherfuckers.

  • When a lion starts to eye you up, LEAVE FOOL...

  • @hexcane Thank you for the concern, but my knickers are up and on good, babe. For the record, just because everyone else does it doesn't make it right and it definitely doesn't mean I can't still state the deception and my disapproval.

  • @LadyLillianContessa if thats true its sad that Kevin would stoop to that, or hopefully they did it without his consent

  • Why the hell would that lion handler guy bring the other guy in to pet the lions? I didn't even let my friends pet my old pitbull before we had to put him down!!!

  • them loins know him trust me you can rise any wild animal and feed it and it would love you as long as you keep showing the animals love so this isnt new at all nor is its amazing

  • HE SMELLED HIS FEAR , ANIMALS CAN DO THAT !

  • @BIGSABMUSIC I think that's very true. That must have been the case. Animals don't feel comfortable around people who are afraid of them. That's one reason why they love Kevin so much, I suppose.

  • @tigonridge Love?? anthropomorphism at it's best 

  • @sharkysharks01 To assume that only homo sapiens has the ability to love is an error you should really contemplate. Perhaps someday you'll change your mind.

  • @tigonridge anthropomorphism fits. your comment is nulled by the label "homo sapiens" as their is more than one human genus. The lion wont destroy his food source, hence his patience with the keeper. The lion has been taught to act specifically to obtain his meal, but you cannot tame this beast. The lion has a different brain to humans, and since we are unable to understand how our own brain works, we are unable to understand how the lion's brain works. anthropomorphism fits

  • @DontFeedTheTrolls777 All you've argued is the fact that an animals can be trained, and that they're smart enough to not kill harm keeper. You haven't explained why the animals are rolling around and playing with Kevin. Only one thing can - love.

  • That guy's reaction was not faked. Faked or not, it would have scared the shit out of me.

  • abartig

  • i know it is faked but i have to say that look is very gangster!!!

  • why do people feel the need to tame such wild and powerful beasts. Even in captivity there is no need to go into the enclosure and get that close. It's just called a power trip and showing off.

  • @sharkysharks01 It's not about taming or showing off. It's about being in harmony with them. Notice how ecstatic those lions are when Kevin joins their company. That's what life for animals, and human alike, should be all about. You label them as "wild," but men were just as wild before they learned how to make fire.

  • @tigonridge Being in harmony with nature is about existing within the natural wolrd without exploiting it, not cuddling lions. I'm not against keeping animals in zoo's and parks just the fact that people feel the need to tame them, I work with 40+ big cats and dogs and not one is 'tame'. We try to provide them with an environment where they can act as naturally as possible in a captive situation, this ^^ is not natural behaviour, just egotistical on the behalf of man.

  • @sharkysharks01 Of course the existence of wild animal instincts will always mean they were not meant to be tame. However, you are confusing showing affection with taming. Yes, they can actually feel love. Whether you agree or disagree with that doesn't concern me; but the fact that you would label the giving of affection to wild beasts as egotistical is something you should really reconsider.

  • @LadyLillianContessa

    Exactly my friend; you are one of the few who can see this.

    Also, since HDTV has become big, my eyes have been telling me that what I am seeing seems very suspect. Of course, Hollywood has been known for years to manipulate what we see for visual impact. . . .

  • Nooooooooo!!!! Los leones estan a punto de comerse a un galanazooo...que envidia XD

  • Comment removed

  • have been there !

    lion park between krugersdorp and johannesburg.

    

  • lol everybodys mad(except me) so sad

  • why did Tau get so mad?

  • That pair of pants had to go in the laundry right away after this experience...

  • This makes me so mad. They completely faked that.

  • @ResonateSilence Fuckin Retard

  • @ResonateSilence

    no that was not fake, simply the camera men couldt film the sceen that well

    ho yea, in this case would you film the sceen or run away for your life?

  • @ResonateSilence  no they didn't.

  • @ResonateSilence fake or real, the only way to know is to be there, i will just say i believe neither

  • @ResonateSilence how??

  • @ResonateSilence Not only faked, but very badly faked!

  • where is attack ?

  • there's definitely some sly editing in there, but equally from their reactions you can see something happened

  • Big deal the video of guy eating fresh dolphin meat is more your style

  • the poor animal got scared of the stick

  • Animal abuse...

  • man they bushed that sweet lion with those sticks

    tv bs

  • I might be wrong and he/she may be right, the lolwhat2 person, but I guess going off the growling before the sticks were even shown in shot I would have to say that I think that cat actually was going after Steve...the sticks came in when the trainer or somebody was trying to prevent the attack. That's just my take and I understand what he/she was saying about "how tv works"; it's all tied to hollywood most of the time. ; )

  • WTF? The animal trainer is more afraid than the guest, and he lions didnt atempt to attack they runned away from the sticks

  • Yalan atıyorsun.Burada kamera hilesi yapıyorsunuz.Not attac.

  • rofl they poking the lions with long wooden sticks obviously it will get agitated. fuck that other bitch boy that thought he could be like the original lion man. theres only one lion man and thats kevin richardson. all other nature boys/ tree hugging faggots stay in your lanes bitch

  • He avoided being truly attacked.

    He kept staring it in the eye.

    I noticed the guy in the MGM attack vid started the lion in the eye before he was attacked.

    I wonder if the human can sense it is about to be attacked or if the lion doesn't like being stared or can sense fear??

    Seems very unwise to get into a lions enclosure regardless.

  • haha what a bullshit, but amazing animals! beautiful!

  • !!!!!!!!! i would never get in a cage with a lion...crazy mofos!!

  • is that a knife kevin walks around with?he thinks he is tarzan.

  • what i let down

  • Absolutely NO ONE would blame you for admitting it! Just watching is enough to scare people shitless!!

  • I bet he smelled like dog

    

  • i was suprised that Kevin Richardson knows nothing about lions...he invites reporter to play with big male lion fully ridicilous...kevin if you think lion is a big dog you are wrong i have two big dogs and i never ever invite people to touch them...if they respect me it does not mean they will respect you...learn something maaan :D

  • @alijadzigibau are lions and dogs the same? think again.

  • @drealgeorge

    well of course not...i have sharplaninac and german sheperd they used to be playfull when young now they are big and i m very carefull when somebody comes to my property how they will react...but i didnt understand your point...

  • The lion should have ripped him apart...than he will really know what its is like to be prey if he ever manages to survive lol...

  • this is soooooooo dramatized lol

  • I don't know how they could survive !!

  • That boy that looked at him dirty, is the leader of the pride, and doesn't trust that dude.

  • that is attack????

  • not attacked

  • the other lion was just jealous and wanted to be cuddled with aswell

  • that south african should have warned steve from turning his back to the lion dah!!

  • Comment removed

  • Laude Ka Attack

  • DAMNN!! did you see how that lion was like rolling around on its back? SHIT!!!!! they are lucky as fuck to still be alive

  • Don't mess with wild animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There's a reason they have them sharp teeth. I'd never get in a closed place with a mule, let alone with a flesh eating 300kgs carnivorous beast!

  • Haha I wantched dis on tv haha de lions felt insecure bc dey didnt know him but that's it dey did not attack him. who know however wut wuld have happened if he wuld have stayed longer.....

  • DUDE DON'T THINK LIKE THAT I HATE LION AFTER SAW THIS VIDEO please i dont want to comment any bad word but fuck this because my mental condition not good after i saw this video just copy this language """" أسد يهاجم أنسان """"

    what a horrific video it is then tell me this bloody predator, from this day i hate lion

  • The lions sensed Steve's fear. Kevin has no fear, so they trust him.

  • this is the most dangerus animal on the planet, lets stick a finger in his but!!!! STUPID IDIOTS.... LEAVE THEM BE!

  • bongi

  • Another stupid, " Golly the lions love us and aren't they almost human ", video !

    When will we see the end of these dumb kind of clips ?

    Maybe when all of the zeros who make them end up as dinner.

    These are WILD animals !

    Go play on the railroad tracks, it's safer !

  • @12hc13hb14ha

    i agree

  • steve is a prick, a stuck up public schoolboy , Tosser

  • Perhaps it was the fact Steve's smiling was mistaken for a snarl or the other lion got jealous of the attention the other one was receiving.

  • Steve Leonard: This thing looked as me as if I was dirt. That look just says to you you are nothing. lmao

    It went wrong when he pat the lion hard...wrong move. No match for the lion's pride.

  • Men, Lions eat you !!! as long as you were not close to an animal that wants to eat you, you cannot understand !!! He will look at you like a predator watches at its prey ... eyes have no feeling or whatever.

    With these animals ... it must be pretty intense !!

    How do you feel when a small 6kg alley cat attacks you ?? well think about the same with a cat that is 30 to 50 times bigger !

  • mafioso gangster look.. lol lions are gangsters ... dont fuck with themloll

  • 1.45 ish. why where they poking the lions with sticks? or whatever? those lions where scared and therefore got angreh. stupid camera crue.

  • IF HE WAS IN DANGER ..THIS GUY PROBABLY USED THE BATHROOM ON HIMSELF...LOL (IWANTED TO KEEP MY COMMENTS CLEAN)..ITS A GOOD THING HE DIDNT GET HURT BECAUSE IT MAY CHANGED STEVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIONS

  • that guy is so annoying, i wish he really was attacked.

  • hm...at 1:45, I see poles on the left side of the screen...maybe they have something to do with this over dramatic scene?

  • Those cats had the same stare as my cat but then again he was the dominate cat all around in the neighbourhood and he didnt tolerate abuse like petting him just awsum he was and really the smartest cat ive seen or meet

  • There wasn't any lion close to them, maybe they recorded a lion getting in action because a stone was thrown near him or whatever

  • pfff attack? what a big baby.

  • We captivated poor lions(supposed to be in Jungle), and you saying it have no right to show its irritation living in a cage..

  • African Lion? What do you mean? Lions come only from Africa bro.

  • He almost got Tredwelled.

  • attacked?? oh you big baby.

  • if you take the shot in slow motion you can see that the lion just off camera was very close all the time something scared the two lions coming from our left,,,it wasnt the new guy inside,,,I dont know what spooked them but it sure scared the shit out of the new guy lol

  • It's like the old saying goes, you'll break your leg trying to run from a lion because his roar and sneer is what scares you the most, even when the lion has no intention of biting you, but you don't know that when you hear the roar!!

  • steve leonard you`re the "man" lol

  • Missleading show lol. If you were atacked you would die .. fucking rich pussy. He thinks he was attacked and now he is the man LOL:

  • Bulllllll SHHHHHHHHHHHit

  • I wish he would have eaten all of them like they do in nature...

  • I was expecting a bloodbath with the cameraman screaming and cowering in the corner, filming the lion gnawing away at the guys leg while hes begging for someone to help him.

    Instead i got what appeared to be heavily sedated lions who just wanted to sleep and looked incapable of attacting anyone.

    bbc you should be ashamed of yourselves, i pay my licence fee for death and carnage on a daily basis.... please provide what im paying for

  • If you think your big dog on a leash has a good pull on him, try the strength of one of these animals. One swipe and you'd be decapitated. All those in here posting how fake this is, are just showing off. Kevin has spent his life with these animals, and he was concerned, so that would be good enough for anyone with an ounce of sense!!

  • yea that was definitely fake...they cant help making every lion video an action scene.

  • I can feel him shitin himself from here

  • Hes exaggerating .. thats how lions look all the time ...

  • Fake you recon hey - they weigh 300 kg thats 3 Mike Tysons rolled into one with claws and teeth - go grab a house cat and put it into a bucket of water and see what happens next - you people are so far removed from reality its frightening - they didnt have to be ripped to pieces just going in there is bad enough go to a rugby match and see how big a man that weighs 130 kg is, shake his hand and you will piss your pants you guys are clueless you will get dead quickly in there.

  • bullshit.................

  • That was so fake.

  • Attacked? Where? When?

    It surprises me that BBC uploaded this fake video with that title.

    Kinda disappointing.

  • @r9m3 You know when people say under attack you can be chased.You don't have to directly attacked.He's lucky he made it out.I would not want to be chased by some lions.

  • @smilezc1 The point is, he was not chased. This video is a fake piece of shit, expected more from the BBC.

  • @smilezc1 well then that mike guy was "attacked" by lions too. and he stood his ground (with mostly submissive posture), and he even threatened to throw a roll of toilet paper at it.

  • @r9m3 all this guys title on his videos are dissapointing and misleading,, BIG THUM:BS: DOWN!!

  • Fail.

    Nice sticks....

  • Lion: *sizes him up/gives him the up-and-down treatment* "...Who the hell iz YOU?!"

  • Keep replaying 1:46. The lions are frightened of the sticks. At no time did they attempt to attack Steve or the handler.

    I would say it's clever camera tricks, but I spotted it quite easily. I guess some people are just really naive and don't understand how TV works. This video would have 0 views if they didn't try to fake a lion attack.

    Reminds me of the time the BBC threw boxes of lemmings off a cliff, just to get views.

    Pathetic.

  • @lolwhat2

    TV Fakery has been going on for decades, even on the news, especially on the news.

    You can see the two guys moving forward with the sticks, the lions were moving away

    I wish they wouldn't intmidate those lions like that, Kevin should of known better to let those assholes in there with cameras.

  • @Fight0Tyranny What you don't see is people around the enclosure who are their to offer protection. When the lion charged the host, the men arm their sticks, and guide the lions around him. It was for saftey reasons, not to provoke these lions.

  • I wish I could dislike this video a million times.

  • @lolwhat2 - Dnt fool yourself!. They may of blown it out of proportion but dnt one minute think that they were completely safe there. "Sticks" well who isn't scared of hard sticks crashing down on your head?. This is nature & that guys life was at risk no doubt about, if it was not for the swift reaction of the crew and the Lion tamer.

    You dnt fuck with nature. The most powerful of all nature's wonder has to be bacteria & micro-organisms (the tiniest) but the most lethal, & can not be stopped.

  • @lolwhat2 lol smartAss but ive heard even if u raized those lions there will be time when they fight and strike even tho u raized em from the day they born its not like dogs do u understand what im saying

  • On closer inspection, the lions on the left was actually moving away from the 2 guys holding the sticks. Same with the lion on the right. Obviously he scared the lions on purpose.

    Rename this fake piece of shit please.

    "Man tries to attack african lion"

  • Comment removed

  • The only thing the lions do, is at 1:46.

    The rest was edited to make it look more dangerous that it really was, as you notice the camera has no lions in shot at anytime after 1:46. The sounds were added to make it seem dangerous.

    Again I repeat, fake shit.

    Anyone with a clue will agree.

  • cuidado meu amigo...leões são extremamente territorias...rsrss

  • fake

  • Are you blind?

  • hmm needs an almost in the title

  • fake shit

  • You must be blind.

  • nah that look was more like: "The only reason you are still alive is beacuse your friend is a friend of ours"

  • OMG HE WAS NOT ATTACKED :L Waste of time LOL i love lions ..

  • How not to get mauled by a lion.. keep your bottom away from them!

  • Steve and the camera men where "new in the pride" and the second dominant male made just a mock attack to show who is ruling. They are used to men, but they are no pets.

  • dumb man wants to visit into lions but they dont know that kill who's man. blue man loves lion because they know him. huh>>>

  • O sht a lion! Get in the ca -mauled-

  • i love lions !

    i wonder why they call him the king of jungle!

  • FUCK doing that

  • @roman0208 ..

    lions are like "you do not look tasty but drop by again and we will find out" lol

  • I'm so glad he wasn't injured!! I think it's amazing that lions just gave him fair warning. If they wanted to do him harm, it would have been done.

    The look "as though he were dirt" would have been enough for me to leave, but hey, I would have never gone in there to begin with.

  • i almost peed my pants from watching this

  • Why not staying 5 min longer?

    haha
