It has been a while since we have seen the black leopards. In this video you will see some help from our trusted friend Dr Caldwell, claws can cause issues for the older animals. It is always reassuring to be able to address problems like this. It gives a chance to see the claws up close. You will notice I am checking the animals ongoing and more to follow on this story - who will it be next week ? Thanks for the incredible support for the Last Lion film and for all the support this year. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below, I try to read as many as possible.

What a joy to see Coal and Nikita again. They look amazing, happy to see Coal get his nails trimmed. Thank you, Dr Caldwell for teaching us about their nail upkeep, I've learned more today (and his bedside manner is the best). It looked like, all Yame needed was a head rub with George, what a lovely sight! Can't wait for part 2, I look forward to Friday's video with Kevin and his furry friends! 😍🤩🐆🦁❣

So great to see the leopards. It has been a while. Dr Caldwell is always interesting as he takes time to explain. Learned some interesting facts about claws. Loved seeing you walking through the areas. Gave me a different perspective of the size of the place. Loved seeing George and Yamne. Particularly the head but. Look forward to next week.🙏🙏🙏🦁🦁🦁❤❤❤

You could see immediately a slight difference in the Docs affection for the leopards. not more or less than for the lions just different. He put his hand on Coal and gently stroked him. Then he said he's beautiful, so soft, he was not wrong about him being beautiful. You got some serious exfoliation from Nikita. Nosey me has three questions for you. 1 what does 'lakker' mean? 2- Are the leopards' tongues less rough than the lions? 3- l watched your documentary on searching for a black leopard where you cast the pug marks from 16 different leopards to identify the individuals in a huge area. I saw you with a very young Coal and Nikita in the documentary and you hoped that they would breed. Obviously, this was a long time before your no breeding policy. They were unsuccessful in the documentary and l was wondering if they never did have cubs as l cannot see you letting any cubs from her go. Thanks for a nice update and video of these gorgeous animals.

I love all the animals that call your sanctuary home, but I think the black leopards have a particularly special place in my heart because their expressions, reactions, and behaviors are so astonishingly similar to house cats - more than any other big cats, except possibly the American cougar.

6:14 "Can I stick a camera on your gun?" "Yeah" "Thanks" What a casual conversation 🤣

I love how you call them "kitties" like they are just big ole house cats!! Love seeing the leopards! Can't believe Cole is 21yrs old!!!! Wow still young at heart, goes to show how well you take care of them Kevin!! Along with the fab Dr. C!!!!

Can't believe how gentle those cats are with you and their age blows my mind! So beautiful! Thanks so much for the wonderful vid - made my Friday!

Seeing Coal and Nikita again is a welcome mood lift for me. Beautiful, adorable cats - thank you for providing such a good home for them.

As much as I LOVE Bobcat as my favourite lion, to me, NOTHING is more amazing than these beautiful black leopards. The fact that Nikita allows Kevin to inject her, knowing how strong & independent they are, has always remained in my mind as an incredible bond & level of trust that surpasses logic - Beautiful creatures !!!

So satisfying to hear the sound of the crunch when their nails are trimmed. I'm sure they feel better after their manicures. Now if I can only get my cats to Dr. Caldwell to get their manicures done too😁

Also, it feels like sand paper. I get groomed by my domestic cat sometimes. It's due to papillae. Papillae are white keratin protein spines.

Reminds me of my black cat Lomu who passed away after a short ilness last week. Yes I named him after legendary All Black rugby player Jona Lomu. Lomu loved to lick/wash my ears while I was asleep. That's how he woke me up every morning at 6-ish O'Clock, the past 15 years: "I want Breakfast..Now!!"..I still wake up every morning at 6-ish O'Clock thinking Lomu is washing my ears..I miss him very much. He was one of my best friends..ever. RIP Lomu.❤❤❤

It's great having Dr Caldwell, the work he does is fantastic Kevin.

It's always cool to see the black leopards Kevin. It's hard to believe Coal is 21 years old ... he looks so much younger!

I have no words, walking careless around stunning wild animals, and also been loved by them.

It's too adorable when lions make their "tight face" and wrinkled nose😃

your dedication to look after these animals is priceless.In return they accepted you as one of their pride.

Love seeing the black leopards! They are so beautiful 😍 Nice manicure doc! 💅🏼

Happy Easter Everyone!

Kevin, can’t believe the amount of dedication and love you have for these animals! You have worked tirelessly to ensure they are well taken care of for so long! It would be nice sometime for you to show the new subscribers how much you do on a daily basis…the filming etc. So impressive! Thank you! ❤

Kevin has the greatest job in the world

The amazing Dr Caldwell. Cole will feel so much better.

OMG, those yellow eyes against the black fur, so beautiful and so intimidating 🙂

I just cant put into words how happy I am to see the black leopards. I appreciate all the animals and what Kevin and his team but the black leopards are just such showstoppers. Love from S.Africa

Always great to see Doc Caldwell cause takes excellent care of the animals. Relief for Cole, nice. 👑🦁

I cannot believe that Cole and Nikita are what-21?? Wow! I have a black cat and I call him my micro mini black leopard.🐈‍⬛

I always love listening to Dr. Caldwell. This time my black house leopard watched and she agreed that claws should be cut infrequently. 😊❤

I am so glad you guys take such good care of your older animals. They need you all the most so they can enjoy their life instead of suffering. Your cats are so beautiful ❤❤

Love when Dr. Caldwell comes out, and we, as well as Kevin, are learning things about the animals he comes to treat.❤

21! omg, this cat looks amazing! He doesn't move like he is that old either.

I think one of the most interesting things I've learned on this channel is how the black leopards have an "alone" space and a "shared" space. So fascinating to me. Thank you for taking us along on your blessed journey. ❤

Love Dr. Caldwell's visits ... always learn something. Thanks Kevin!

Always love seeing you out spoiling and giving love to the big cats. Every video we get to see and experience the love from half way around the world. Thank you Kevin

They are the most gorgeous cats..very impressive claws!

Am I the only one who gets excited when I see a notification that there's a new video on The Lion Whisperer channel? These just make my day. Thanks Kevin!

Thank you Kevin for sharing these precious memories with us the Doctor always explaines everything he does so we can understand what he is doing and why.

SO good to have a Catch-up with the magnificent Black Leopards with their beautiful markings ❤😊❤ good job Doc and Kevin

Kevin, you must really trust those black leopards to get that close to them. Trust and respect them. They are beautiful animal ❤️

I'm like Yame, its impossible for me to hide how I'm feeling. Even if I'm silent, my facial expression will tell you everything you need to know. Great video Its was awesome to see Nikita and Coal🖤

*Spa day at the sanctuary. * Exfoliation for you Kevin and mani pedi for Cole. 😂So happy for the visit with the black leopards. So different and such robust and playful personalities they have. And beautiful Nikita with her long wispy whiskers. Love it! Thanks again Doc!! 🧡🤍🤗

Finally, the animal everyone wanted to see.

Kevin “Saltlick” Richardson 😂

Leopards are so close to house cats, it's adorable. Of course, they are very much not house cats! Love their personalities.

Cole is such a beautiful cat ❤❤it boggles my mind that he's 21. You and your team have taken such good care of him. Nikita is so sweet she'll let you look at her nails as long as she can lick the salt off of your skin❤😁 Sneak preview Thor is being naughty😁😁

We always look like we’ve been through a wood chipper after cutting our rescue kitties nails 😽🙀😻

All these animals are so lucky to have Kevin.

Such beautiful creatures. So glad they have Kevin to care for them.

2:22 compared to Meg recently, this leopard is very chill while Kevin checked the claws despite being as 'elderly' as Meg and on a hot day too. every week it is great to watch the kind of good care and love all the animals in Kevin's care get but at the same time it is kind of sad he has to call the vet and sedate a 20-something year old leopard just to cut a few claws as the cat doesn't use them properly enough anymore due to guess what, old age. this is both very expensive for Kevin and stressful for the cats. anyway, thanks for showing it to us and enjoy the holidays. 🖖

Pawsome, having been to your sanctuary, I've met the cats. And hyena, you take really good care of them.

Love always seeing the leopards. They’re so beautiful.

Our black cat was so good, he would sit very still when we trimmed his claws, and then get his treats afterward.

It seems so beautiful and peaceful there. These cats are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your animal adventures with us. God Bless you and yours. Stay safe.

Nice to see Cole & Nikita!

Always excellent videos. I can’t say that enough about Kevin. Wow at those “fake” nails on Nikita & beautiful boy 🙄😆 I still can’t get over people saying and thinking that. These 2 are my FAVE black leopards (don’t tell Duke & Khan that 🤫). I remember Kevin saying one time that Nikita was one cat he could honestly say he fully trusted. That’s saying a lot coming from the expert zoologist himself. As always Kudos to Dr Caldwell for the amazing care and depth of knowledge in the veterinary world. ❤

How truly blessed the animals are in your care

I love the way they lick your legs kevin. Enjoys the salt! 👍 😂 Dr Caldwell is a legend. 🥰 🤗

Fabulous video❤! Skin exfoliation for Kevin by the most wonderful black leopardess, manicure for Coal by a remarkable veterinarian and an incredible team of people, who out of love, dedicate their lives to the well-being of all animals ! At 21, Coal and Nikita still look stunning. An intervention carried out as always. Dr Caldwell's explanations are always so informative. Thank you all loving and caring for these fascinating creatures. Can't wait to watch part two of this fantastic video!❤🐾🐾❤️

Love the leopards, my absolute favourites...21 years old is huge. They are certainly getting the best possible care...and that they let you touch their paws while awake without any anesthetic is incredible. I hope poor Cole does not need many more treatments at his ripe age. Leopards in the while are not so lucky with such a long life

Yami and I are the same in that regard, our faces show exactly what we're thinking and feeling.

Thank you for showing the Leopard brothers, and Yami and George ❤❤

You & your team take great care of all the babies Thanks for doing what you do!!

It is always a treat to see the black leopards. They're such gorgeous cats!

I am always struck by the sleek beauty of the black leopards! Is their fur as soft and velvety as it looks, or is that a deceptive appearance? ALSO, even though they are getting old, I don't see any gray hairs... is that something that doesn't happen to them as it does to domestic animals? So love that easy laid back relationship you have with all of them! As usual, a bright spot in my evening- watching this!!! Love to you and all your creature friends from Granbury, Texas!

I find it fascinating how the black leopards eyes change colour depending on the light
