THE LION WHISPERER Behind the Scenes
This is the 'behind the scenes' video from an advertising job I did a few years ago with 'The Lion Whisperer', Kevin Richardson. I was the photographer and was lucky enough to have this experience working in such close proximity to the lions.

The General Audience: Holy shit those are scary-ass lions!!! Me, an intellectual: ‘Oh look it’s Bobcat and Gabby!!!...and surfer-dude Vayetse with naughty jumpy Livy...and oh hello Meg and Amy!!’

Right!
Vayetse is just the sweetest 🦁🐾❣
What an awesome life you have, Kev, I'm so jealous. That has got to be the best fluffy family ever, you lucky soul ... And, yes, you're right, they can be very naughty, but in such a fabulous way ... Hats off to you ...
Thank you for showing it, I understand it was an exciting experience. You show us a different angle of the day in the sanctuary and the close relationship between Kevin and the lions they fit like a hand in the glove! It's a very good quality of the video🥰👌🌹
So tickled with Behind the Scenes and Volunteering. Have wanted to see the drone. Had no idea what it could mean to get the cameras out. The lions keep looking bigger and more beautiful. Thank you!
The lion trying to catch the drone, so glad that that made the final edit. Lol

I think it's just nice to see Kevin with his Lion's any time..the music..who cares..it really about the work that goes into the making of his videos that Bring us all so much Happiness. .face it most of us won't get to see Lions up close let alone in the wild.Many thanks to Kevin and his Team..and the Lions for being such good Kitty's Thanks Kevin..may you have a Blessed one🌋
Shows, his job is not as easy and sweet as it appears in the videos. Salute his skills, patience!!
Wow! Loved the different perspective. Thanks for your contribution to lion conservation Kevin.
I think that's why the lions were so agitated , they heard the background music as well

Kevin videos so addicted to watch...incredible man on earth💞
Oh wow I need more behind the scenes videos like this one! The lions look even bigger in this video than in Kevin's. Also, c'mon guys the music was not that bad. It fit the video pretty well.
Kevin having a lion ride is the best thing I saw today...it really made my day....you are doing a great job and I would love to be a part of it♥️
This was one of my favorite lion videos. The scene of the lion with his paws on the top of the cage, he was absolutely huge! I'll bet every man inside was grateful for the cage. Good job Justin. :)
It's funny when you seen a lot of lion whisperer tv that you think you recognize the lions yourself even without an introduction. I could be wrong but I believe the first two lionesses were Meg & Amy -- with Meg ofcourse being the one jumping into the river. The next two are Bobcat and Gaby -- Bob's fearsome dark mane and piercing eyes is hard to mistaken. And the last two -- I think are Vayetse and Livy (Ginny's missing) cause that innocent and youthful, pink-nosed Vayeste's face, and Livy is bigger and lighter toned than Ginny.

This is great...you guys are awesome and the lions are adorable.
I enjoyed it more than the edited ones.
Apart from the music, it is awesome video. :) Regards,
It's so awesome that you were involved in this and got all this footage
Just love, jumping after the drone, just like my friends cat.
Some of my favorite lions: Vayetse, Livy and Ginny.🦁🦁🦁
So cool ! Although this music is quite stressing to hear .... But video is great & Lions are amazing ! Thanks :))
Lots of animal trainers and others say " oh hes gonna get killed because of how he rolls with them, and this and that". I disagree... I think out of all the lion trainers and people similar to Kevin, kevin has the least chance of being killed. They dont associate anything bad with him. Of course it could still happen. But if you love skydiving, even though it could kill you, doesnt mean you should not do it.

CJ actually i disagree with the sky diving analogy. Kevin is doing dangerous stuff with the lions but he is providing a lot of education and awareness. Whereas sky diving is just, well for fun and the adrenaline rush. It's just being dangerous just because.

I think ya mis took what i meant. I basically meant if you love to do something, even if it can be dangrous, you should still do it. Even more so in Kevin's case because its for a incredibly good cause.
They are so inquisitive ... but real showman!
Here we can really see how big they are. Vyetsi and Bobcat are huge!
I love this chanel, Kevin and those incredible animals.
The best scene was the lioness jumping at the drone.
2:28 he want to join in, he feels lonely outside
Your lions are lovely !!!!
What a great video thanks for sharing
Kevin is just fabulous because he loves wild animals,they’re in love With him.
My God these cats are beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Truly enjoyed the video! The music? meh, not so much. But 4 minutes of Kev and his kitties is doable with whatever soundtrack.
Kevin,you até The best!😍♥️
Thanks! This is what I always wonder about :D

The music wasn't good at all. That's why the lions were pissed off. Lions say 'we are the kings/queens of the jungle, can't you play some good music to go with our persona?'

Back in the day,they would have probably put the Lions 🦁 inside the cage and the people would be freely walking around,so happy to see it's the other way around.. #lovelions... 🦁.. #kevinrocks!!!
I don't understand why everyone hates the music? This video compels me to befriend a lion and solve crimes with the lion as my partner. Like a K9 detective, but with a lion!!!
OK, uh, Prodigy 'FireStarter' is NOT the soundtrack for this footage.
The man with the biggest balls is the person daring to RIDE A FUCKING LION
Blimey, these photographers don't ask for much, do they? I wonder why Kevin and the lions don't occasionally simply biff them and walk off. Especially the big cats. Meg looked nonplussed at having a cageful of them at her elbow and Bobcat certainly intended to fix 'em good if he could dig his way in.

Never really cared about the music. My attention was not focus there. It's the big cats and Kevin that matters. The sight of them can bring you to another place and time. Really amazing bond they have.
They just ruined kevins career with the background music
What do you think of the Barbary lions that are just about extinct?
اشهد ان لا اله الا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله
I almost got a heart attack when vayetse was all over that human cage.
Let's remember, this video is about preserving/saving endangered animals! So quit bitching about the awesome music! And think about ALL the crazy weird and awesome animals that are going extinct because of us, humans! (So, off topic speak. What was that song in the video? That would make an awesome ringtone!) Still don't know why people find it inappropriate. It's a blooper video too!

Like alot of cats, including house puddycat ,they don't like strangers invading their territory, all cats are territorial by nature to different degrees depending on the cat themselves.

You could see that whenever the lions got a little too rough with the cage, Kev told them off and distracted them. The cage isn't meant to be for long protection.
