Never get tired of seeing your interactions with the Lions. They are all so beautiful! You are aging gracefully Kevin. Nice to see George in your video too. Thanks for sharing your time, and attention to these awesome animals and with us KZread viewers.
Definitely never bored of moving the lions or anything to do with them EVER Kev 🦁❤️🦁❤️
Kevin, don't worry you are ageing beautifully😅May God bless you and your animals with a long, happy and healthy life❣️
Charlie’s all blonde mane is magnificent!
Yaaasss…never stop “moving day” videos! They are my favorite as anything goes and the enthusiasm of all involved! 🚚🦁🦁🦁🦁
Meg and Icarus in the same enclosure! That is a beautiful sight! I'm so happy my Meg shares an enclosure with a wonderful lion like Icarus. That made my month
I absolutely love moving day they get so excited. Makes me smile and excited for them. Bobcat remind me of my house cat always talking. So happy that Meg and Icarus are in the same enclosure🥰

Been so long since a moving day, they're never a bore! Especially when I get to see my fav Leo DiCaprio of lions, Vayetse! Forever a sweet boy ❤
All the lions are in such good condition, especially some that are much older. It's amazing! That is the result of a lifetime of love & care. Bless Kevin and all The Lion Whisperer Team!💕🦁💕
for Kevin Richardson and all people like him , I truly wish them a very long and happy life . God bless them for being so kind to all those magical and beautiful animals ( Lions )
Charlie is so much calmer and happier since the vet fixed him up with vit A! So much potential for more personality development!!!
Kev: HE'LL BE SEVEN IN DECEMBER! George: Yeah, that's how years work
Getting to see Meg and Icarus in the same open paddock is a massive step in the right direction! What a treat to see, hopefully the headbutt comes soon 🦁❤ Also i think its safe to say the majority of us that watch your vids love every single 1 of them! Getting to see all the animals and how they interact with you and each other over small or big things.
Man!!..🤯 I am addicted to these 🦁❤️❤️

I have never seen any captive animals so content, and well cared for. The Love, commitment and knowledge Kevin has for all his amazing animals, should be an example for others to follow..
When did Meg and Icarus become roommates? We want to see the video.

When he treats Lions as house cats, absolutely amazing
Moving=Watching...please don't stop.
Love that Charlie has a much more pleasant demeanor now can definitely tell that Kevin is finally comfortable around him again

Do you normally have an empty enclosure, perhaps for cleaning or for the land to recover? Otherwise how would you have an empty enclosure ready for the first lions to be moved?
They look so clean and healthy every time I watch these videos. Job well done team. 💕
In awe every time I watch. Special relationship with lots of love and respect. God bless everyday.
Knowing that we are the reason behind putting this majestic specie in danger, there is no way we can get bored of watching your lions... they are lovely...
In this video more than any others I've seen, all the lions basically remind me of my own tiny little pet cat! The rolling over on the floor etc! Obviously if a human being that wasn't KNOW to them would (potentially, I'm guessing) be in considerable danger, if that close!😲😊 But they are always so gentle and sweet, particularly in this video! Nice one, cheers mate! 👍
Vayetze is the MVP! Happy Weekend Kevin and Team! Love you guys! 😍😊🤗🦁🦁🥰🥰😆😄
