I will never forget when Gabby ate the tire. I've seen it a few times and it always made me laugh.

Without a doubt Kevin, you yelling after Gabby, the sound of the Tyre deflating, and then the words.. 'You're a bloody Naughty Lion Gabby..bloody naughty'😂😂😂. I can watch this over and over...she is a mischievous ⭐.

I loved it all! George and Yame running down the path, hanging out with Geena's clan, moving Neige and her pride, watching Neige climb on the truck before their walk (I'm soo happy Charlie and Jubari are healthy again!), Gabby chewing on the tire after her walk with Bobcat, seeing Suja and Bongani go for a walk (how is Bongani?), watching Duke and Khan play together, watching Keto's clan play while on a walk, seeing Meg and Icarus behave like newlyweds, watching Vayetse drink water and Ginny go for a run. I'm so sad about Siam, he was soo beautiful and gentle, & poor Neige and her damaged tail ( I'm happy she's feeling better!). I look forward to seeing Kevin and his furry friends in 2024. 🥰😍🦁🐆🐾🐾❣💯
Seeing Megs playful behavior with Icarus was so heartwarming. She was so bonded with Amy and to see her so happy with her new roomie was tops for me.

I totally agree 👍 ❤🎉 All the painstaking efforts and patience of Kevin is now paid off 👍 After all these years, Meg is my heart lioness and seeing her as happy as she seems is truly heartwarming and I feel like finally I can breathe ❤️ Thanks Kev for sharing this all memories of 2023. And wishing you and all the members of sanctuary a happy new year filled with love and lots of happiness and good health!!❤❤❤
I always love it when Gabby attacks her main nemisis, the tire! 🤣🥰

I cried when we lost the Catnip King. It broke my heart to see your sadness at losing such a dear friend. What you do is amazing
I feel like 2023 was simultaneously the best and worst year. Best in the sense that many big achievements happened such as Meg and Icarus finally showing affection and playfulness and an increase in subscribers and viewers. But there has also been so many medical concerns such as the passing of animals, poision and loss of appendage. Let's hope there's less medical problems and more recognition in 2024!

I hope so too! Praying for a quiet year but with such an old population of lions we must expect some heartache
Love them all. I'm so sorry for the loss of Siam. Such a beautiful king❤
"Gaby, Gaby,....Gabbbyyy.....psssssssssss -flat tire- ssss.... you're a bloody naughty lion, Gaby" - I am Gaby and I just ate a tire!

I always enjoy seeing Gabby getting into mischief. She has such a distinguishable personality. Meg is a sweetheart & always love her stories. Love, love this channel.
My favorite moments are when you lovingly talk and pet them; you have a very special relationship with your animal kingdom. Gabby was excited to bite your tire even though she wouldn't have a way back; you were the hero to save her day.🦁

Your welcome 💖@@LionWhispererTV
Lions are brave, strong, tough, rugged, smart, durable, resilient and have the strongest jaw, neck and heart. The strongest shoulders. Lions are gorgeous and amazing 👏👏👏👏
My favourite moment has to be Gabby going for the car tires again. It's just not a Gabby video without Kevin shouting "GABBY"
It's too hard to pick a favorite! But, saying that, Gabby's tenacity and determination is always a joy to watch. Neige is coming into her own and developing some of her spunk. The loss of Siam is still so heartbreaking to ponder; such a majestic, sweet natured beautiful boy. His loss, was such a shock. Naiobi, Echo and he, were such a lovely grouping. Bongani, the mighty warrior, continues to inspire with his perseverance, and will to carry on. He, and George, are truly symbols of the strength and power we associate with lions. Hoping 2024 brings more joy than sadness, that they all enjoy good health, and remain the happy, sweet, characters we love. God bless you and your team for all you do to provide care and comfort to them.

❤😮😊 purrr factly expressed! LOVE being a Member of this Beyond Words Wonderful Pride . Thanks Sir Kevin and each member of your privileged team for All you do. Continued Blessings for 2024 and beyond .... 🙏 ❤
Oh Siam...what a king you are and you must be on a throne up at the Rainbow Bridge section of heaven.....R.I.P. King 🤴 👑 🦁
it's still emotional seeing Siam and knowing he's not with us anymore. It's great seeing Meg and Icarus getting along.
It's too hard to pick an absolute favorite moment but it is so enjoyable to watch them play and enjoy life! You are truly blessed to interact with them as part of the pride. Thank you for sharing them with the world.❤
All moments are precious ❤ 🦁🐆. Just hope next time the meat they eat is from animals that die of natural causes, to prevent what happened in the past. 🩷🍗
Kevin, I finally became a member this month. I just wanted to thank you so much for preserving a place on this planet for these magnificent lions forever. I am so grateful to finally be apart of the preservation of your sanctuary for these animals. Every day I watch your video's for hours and I'm so sorry for all of your loses. I have come to know and love all of these animals as if they were my own. You are the only man on earth that really knows how to behave and help these animals. I'm so proud of you for your kindness towards them and all of your knowledge, Thank you again for loving them all.. Joseph

Welcome to the pride! I’m so glad you’ve grown to love these animals. They are a special bunch. Your comment is really appreciated 🙏🏼
I love seeing George and yammy running together so good. Siam. Such a. Great lion rip. Old boy. ❤️
Having lived in South Africa for 15 yrs from 75 to 90 watching these Videos brings back fond memories of the great Outdoors and it's Wildlife. Fantastic work you and your crew do Kevin and may it continue.
I love all the lions but as far as favourites I’d have to say Meg & Icarus playing together & Gabby biting tires. They get me smiling every time!❤
So happy to see Meg playing with her new partner
favourite moment has to Gabby biting more tires, I am sure I won't be alone with that one. Meg and Icarus playing on a walk of course was amazing. I know you have allowed Bongani to retire but I and imagine many other members of the pride are interested how he is

I would say that I have loved all of the videos from this including the membership videos. But, my all time favourite has to. Be the Gabby and tire video! So much so that I asked for the Gabby tire slayer shirt for Christmas. So comfortable! Thanks for the memories, Kevin! 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
What a perfect recap of everyone! LOL Gabby & the tires. So funny how some of these things we never know exactly why they do them or their desire to get a negative reaction out of us. The 'don't talk to me' was amazing Kev cause I say exactly that when my dog is naughty. Meg is my other favorite just cause of how much she loves you:)
I’m so proud to be part of the pride by contributing monthly! 🫶🏼🫶🏼The tenderness and amazing respect the lions, hyenas and the black leopards have for Kevin is ALWAYS heartwarming!!!❤
Pumas purr. Cheetahs purr. Kitty Cats purr. Lions talk talk talk. ❤❤❤❤
RIP to Siam my favorite of all the Lions. I will miss you dearly
Gabby killed it! 🤣 Gets me laughing every time I see or hear about it.
Seeing how Icarus and Megan get along so well now. I bought their Jumper, because I have watch their relationship grow for over 2-years. ❤️🐾🐾❤️👏🌈you can see the “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”. Thank you Kevin for all you do for the animals in your care!😊

Meg and Icarus was a slow burn but it is great to see it now and makes me happy. Thank you for the support Donna
My favorite positive was seeing Meg be so playful with Icarus. The loss of Siam was the sad part of 2023. I wish for 2024 to be a good year for all the animals in Kevin's care. I would like an update, if possible, on the cheetahs that were released back in the wild. All the best!

To my knowledge, the miracle eight cheetah group was split up and relocated. 3 of them went to The Amakhala Reserve. You can watch them on youtube. I don’t know where the other 5 ended up at.
I’ve been a member of the Pride for three years and I hope to be a member for many more.
I love Gabby so so much…she obviously loves the feeling of the air escaping when she punctures the tire…it’s probably addicting for her…😂
Gabby makes me laugh in every episode of her 😂. I'm so happy Meg and Icarius are happy. But I love all the lions ❤. Im sad about the ones that passed 😢
It's too hard to pick a favorite, love them all.
I think it's so cool how friendships and playmates among the lions, hyenas and leopards are just as awesome as it is with us humans. I sure love the whole furry community at your place there😃💞 Wishing an abundance of support for your goals at the Sanctuary in 2024!
I ❤ed all of it!!! It is sooo hard to pic a favorite!! But I got to say I ❤ed seeing Icarus and Meg playing and having fun jumping around like kittens playing!!
Hi Kevin from Australia 🇦🇺. I loved this. Being an animal lover and seeing these beautiful cats and how they are around you. They get excited seeing you always makes me smile. George and Yame look how they become and Gabby she is such a mischief maker with the tyres. You guys do such amazing work. Luv to you all.
I’m still amazed after all these years how you carry on with these cats😊.
Loved Meg and Icarus playing 🥰
Love love love… these majestic creatures. Siam ♥️♥️ was as Kevin put it Regal!! I never tire of any video shared, as well as the information Kevin provides about them. I couldn’t just pick one episode…. ♥️♥️🤗🤗♥️♥️
I was happy when Meg and Icarus finally connected. I'm praying there's no medical emergencies this year, but I'm happy they all are doing well, you can't ask for more than that. 🙂❤️🦁
My favourite has to be Gabby and her love of bursting tyres 😂
Eating of the tire.. she looked so pleased with herself 😂
Loved Meg and Icarus finally bonding!❤

Perdón no entiendo tu idioma pero lo que veo es lo más grande del porqué tu y yo y muchas personas amamos a los animales domesticos o salvajes te admiró mucho
The black leopards are my faves. 😊 Majestic. Beautiful. Unfailingly mischievous. Lol!
“Im gonna eat a tyre 😁😁” “and that she did 🙁” 😂😂😂😂 9:09
Gabby all the way she is a character 😂
Gabby gabby no your bloody naughty lion 😂😂 never fails make me love her personality even more
Sorry Kev’ … one of my favorite moments was Gabby chowing down on your truck tire….So naughty..! Hehehe.😂 All love and strength to you and your wonderful family this year..🤗❤️
Favorite moment?! It's always a pleasure watching the videos! 🤠 As I've said many times you're living my childhood dream of walking with the lions! 💞🐾🐾💞. God please bless Kevin and all involved with his animal and please bless all these animals with long healthy and happy lives! 🙏 💞🐾🐾💞🙏
I always love seeing Gabby puncture the truck tires 😂 She reminds me of a cat I had who loved popping tomatoes......😂. You couldn't leave them on the counter because she'd jump up and proceed to sink her teeth into each ripe tomato. Here's something special, when she passed away , at her gravesite in the back yard, this amazingly huge tomato bush grew!! No kidding!! It was so filled with all these beautiful cherry tomatoes, I'd never seen anything like it. She'd never popped that kind, just the big sized tomatoes. It was like she was communicating her joy with her tomato obsession. That tomato bush grew at least 5 ft. tall. It truly was incredible.❤🍅🐾
Siam tugged at my heartstrings in every way. He is the reason that next month and naughty naughty Gabby, May 2024 I am becoming a member of the pride. I cannot spend even one day without Kevin and his beautiful animals. 😊 Can't forget naughty Nancy either 😂 and our beloved Meg and Icarus
I'm sorry, Kevin, but Gabby's clip with the tires always sends me laughing. I suppose that's funny for me because I don't have to buy the tires. She's just so full of spunķ and sass!
Seeing Meg and Icarus blossom together was mine. But Gabby and her antics are a very close second 😂
My favorite moment? Every Friday with you guys, Kevin, and your whole entourage!
Such a great year, apart from Neige's tail amputation! I loved seeing Meg be so playful with Icarus!!! 🤣
Wonderful video. This is why I am a member and highly recommend everyone becoming a member too.❤😊 Love ALL the animals with their distinctive personalities!!! Keep up the great work, Kevin and team!! I am looking forward to future videos. ❤❤❤ The LORD continue to bless you and team.
I love ❤️ hearing them talk. So adorable.😊
Meg and Icarus bonding. Amy is still missed but Meg and Icarus look great together.
"Blady naughty lion Gabby"...😅😮😂😂😂
Its wrong but I cant stop laughing when Gabby ate a tire, its too funny.
This is one of the most fantastic channels on KZread. Sitting here safe at my desk and still coming as close as ever possible to these awesome and extremely powerful animals. Wow😊

Fantastic to hear this ! Thank you
I loved the recap and it is a favourite in itself, from paying respect to those no longer with us to the love you show to what you do. We sit and watch in awe, in envy, in wonder and in gratitude for all you do at the sanctuary. Thank you for being there that is my favourite thing.
Well done Kevin well done
Gabby cracks me up with those Tires !!
The Lions are so beautiful!! I love ❤️ them so much. ❤😊❤😊
Gabby and her love for tires and Meg with Icarus 😊
Kevin, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. All of your videos touch my soul and give me such peace and contentment. I laughed at Gabby and I also cried thinking about Siam and how close you came to losing Charlie. It’s also sad to think about Bongani not being able to go on walks any longer. I pray God blesses you in 2024 and keeps all the beautiful animals safe and healthy. Much love and respect from Tennessee USA.
Thank you for all you do, Kevin & all of your furries!❤❤❤❤
They are cats being little and big cats!! Thanks for taking care of our nature animals and their habitat
I have two favorite moments in this video. The calm, relaxing moments of Jenny and Vietssee walking with a beautiful breeze flowing through his main and just watching them gays out into the field. Happy and relaxed. And of course my other favorite was Miss GABA licious doing her fun with the Tire. It’s just so great to have videos like this to watch and dream with. Watching happy loving lions, what more could one wish for. Thank you Kevin and the staff that put this together. What a good tribute to those we love that have passed peace.💕🌸
Gosh Siam was so HANDSOME!!!!!
Wonderful video Kevin - loved every moment, thank you.
How he interacts with these majestic cats , is just mesmerizing, they totally embrace him, and it seems, love him, Kevin, I believe has a gift from God.
I just love all your animal friends 💜 George and Yame are thriving! Meg getting along with Icarus! Losing any friend is so tough, but glad we could share in their journeys.
Lion walker African ranger is my favorite show. Kevin is so in touch with animals a bee overheard him say his tea wasn't sweet enough so it went back to the hive and got them to make some honey for him. True story.
I miss Siam. He was a cool cat with a great attitude he’s going to be missed.
Love love love seeing these majestic creatures! ❤️❤️❤️
Meg of course is my favourite 😊 so seeing her an Icarus getting on so well after a shaky start is a delight. Gaby of course always steals the spotlight. Actually as I followvthis channel more and more. Each one of them steals a place in my heart. The hyeans, black leopards and lions. Thank you for inviting me into their world. I look forward to.many more memories in the future. This was a lovely compilation. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤. Happy New Year.
So sorry that happened to your 2 lions. ❤❤I’m so happy they both survived and is better.
I love them all, but I'm afraid I have to say, Gabby biting the tires is my absolute favorite!
Favorite part, not possible. I have learned so much from you, the beautiful cats and hyenas. Sharing the issues involved in lion conservation bit by bit has been eye opening. Each video that explains another issue leaves me thinking I have a handle on the big picture. Then with the next video I realizing you could fill a thimble with what I understand. Pick a favorite part 😂 but please know that we appreciate you giving us food for thought. It's like an enrichment walk for humans. Happy 2024 to you and the gang both 2 and 4 legged.
HI Kev, are you still following the miracle 8 cheetahs ?
We "adopt" (feed, fix, take care of) feral cats & kittens in our neighborhood & I named one of our ginger boys Siam this summer after your Siam. ❤❤❤
He was such a beautiful cat. Another heart break.
Your videos never get old Kevin, love seeing all the lions and of course Duke and Kahn, love those black leopards. 👍👍👍see you next week. 🙋♂️
@LionWhispererTV Lion Lives Matter!
I love all of the memories and the animals! Gabby makes me laugh out loud!!
It must be so unbelievably sad when one of these beautiful animals pass on. 😢 another great video Kevin. Gabs (gabalicious) and tyres 🤣 Meg and Icarus, Neiges tail and so much more. I just LOVE them all and I just LOVE the journey you bring us on Kevin! Thank you. ❤🙏🥰

No way I can pick a favorite moment. They are all my favorite!
Que você tenha um ano de 2024 abençoado 😊
It is impossible to choose a favorite moment, but two unforgettable moments 1: Gabby kills a tyre, Kevin screaming to deaf ears and give up "Gabby you're a bloody naughty lion" Yep, I agree😁2: Mana Pools on the river and Cameron is petrified, Kevins' "comforting" -Why, Hippos don't eat people... It is priceless. Such a genuine friendship!😅🥰
