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.

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! 👍
