Meet Kevin Richardson – The lion whisperer

The life of a house cat is one of the most coveted lifestyles. Belly rubs (when permitted), food on demand at the hint of a meow, and always a string dangling from somewhere to play with. Not to mention a willing human to provide all of it.

But this is not a post about a relationship with a domestic house cat. Nor can we call them pets: they're wild African lions!

Yet for Kevin Richardson, the lions he interacts with seem more like domestic cats than ferocious kings of the jungle. They're not tame or habituated, but Richardson has an extremely special bond with the lions nonetheless.

This incredible animal behaviorist has such extraordinary complicity with them and has been working with lions for over 11 years. Today he is a proud owner of a private game reserve outside of Johannesburg and a "pride member" of 39 lions!

He is affectionately referred to as the 'Lion Whisperer' because of his unique connection with these wild animals. A relationship that includes kisses, cuddles, and play-wrestling.

Read on to find out all about Kevin Richardson and his roaring relationship with one of Africa's big cats.

This guy and his lions, hyenas and leopards got me through winter.

I will try and post something every other day.

This one from the early days (14 years ago) where a lioness let's Kevin meet her cubs. This didn't have a happy ending. One cub died and the others were getting weaker so Kevin had to remove them and raise them. The lioness didn't like it one bit... it took her awhile to forgive him. But she did forgive him.

That is kind of a cool job.

That is kind of a cool job.

He is amazing.

I didn't join his private channel but I follow public one and as I said, his channel entertained me through winter. He is losing his animals to old age these days,  he has 20 something lions left.

He also has 4 black leopards and hyenas.

When Meg and Amy (Amy died during covid lockdowns) when they were tiny cubs he vowed to them he would look after them until they died.

Amy's death was so sad to us viewers and especially to Kev.

He LOVES his hyenas to... he says they really stink and they are aggressive to each other like crazy..

They have the most powerful jaws and cut through wire like bolt cutters which I might talk about later.

I cannot tell you how much learning about this man, his lions, his hyenas, his black leopards meant to me. I hope you guys do yourself a favour and learn about other things besides politics.

The black leopards are amazing...

Google The Lion Whisperer and the Black Leopards.

This one cracks me up. One of the black leopards is hiding from its enhancement  walk.... it's too funny...

I saw a black jaguar at a private zoo. It was breath taking.

Cats are awesome IF you are part of their clan.

He feeds his black leopards Pilchards in tomato sauce for a treat.... they go nuts for the pilchards.
