Darwin was a mere 26 year old with little scientific knowledge, when he came out with some erratic ideas, based only on theory. He was also a complete atheist into the bargin and turned many away from a spiritual understanding.
Bobcat should do a shampoo commercial. His hair is bouncy, full and flowing.

I have to admit. I would like for just once to not watch Kevin’s videos while on the edge of my chair. I still worry about his safety. However, I am so glad he’s been blessed with this task to care for abused/abandoned animals.
He's such a magnificent specimen. His mane is so gorgeous and full. It looks like he has a jacket on. Gabby is a beautiful lioness, they both inherited good genes.

How precious is that giant paw resting on Kevin's knee? That last moment of Bobcat resting in the shade was more effective than any meditation exercise I could attempt. Such a feeling of contentment, awe, and peace. Thank you for the ultra-closeup shots. Almost like burying my nose in Bobcat's mane. What a treat. And Gabby....she's my idol...full of mischief like all old girls should be.
Love to see Bobcat and learn about this lion. He is exceptionally beautiful for sure. Kevin never lets us down with his educational video
I love Gabby, playful and mischievous, just waiting for any chance to pounce Kevin. But Bobcat is so handsome. Beautiful main, lovely swagger and dark legs, lovely shaped eyes and face. Thank you as always for these great videos so full of info.

@@HkFinn83 I have seen a lot of people said that but rarely try to find out why they are here with Kevin. Some of them are in difficult physical condition, most are born in captive and rescued from hunters and can hunting and etc. so it's hard to release them back into the wild where others packs are already there. Kevin tries as much as he can to help these lions, walking them into wild areas, providing food and medicine for over two decades with love and care. If you are thinking what Kevin's doing is wrong, I would suggest watching his other videos and researching on the topic with open mind and heart.

The lions are all beautiful and special. Truly a special calling to understand them and interact with them. Kevin Richardson makes it look effortless but it's taken a lot of time and patience to know the cats, leopards and hyenas. My praise is very high!
I noticed Kevin’s head is on a swivel all the time while out for a walk. Good survival skills. Love to watch Bobcat walk, he’s so powerful.
Bobcat rolling on his side and showing his belly is amazing! His huge, powerful paws bent like a playful kitten. It’s incredible to watch. Thanks Kevin for your love and commitment to all the animals under your care. 😍

Mane signifies the health and mood of a Lion. Appreciate Kevin for taking care of these animals 👍
Bobcat’s mane is stunning. Seeing him never fails to take my breath away. Miss Gabby never fails to make me laugh every time. Just so funny with Bobcat looking so regal and Gabby her crazy self. Lol.
He has the quintessential male lion look. Such a handsome boy! Would love to have some shouted "Gabby!" merch.
Bobcat…the handsome dude. Will wait patiently for this one.
Kevin, what an honor and privilege it is to be in close proximity to these magnificent beings. Thank you for sharing them with us! 💙💚🦁🦁🦁💚💙
15:19 I really like that moment. Bobcat has a weed poke his jowl or cheek and you noticed and swatted that weed out of the way and you probably didn't even notice that you did it really. Then you put your hand back on his paw. True friendship right there. For some reason that stood out to me. Just the little things.
Yesssss! The Real Lion King in All His Royal Glory!

Is it weird for a human to have a crush on a lion? Asking for a friend, hahaha! What an impressive dude. Though Gabby is so deserving of him. They truly are the power couple of the group. Can totally imagine them being king and queen of the wild but so happy they have Kevin and we get the privilege of following their journey. "Both of the men in your life are gonna give you a smack" really made me chuckle.
I really like your affections and relations with lions. It's really heart warming and stress relieving. Keep it up man!

The girls loves you as a play partner and their Man. Bobcat, it's more like a brother or a father. The emotions in their eyes is very different from each other when they come for a rub or a cuddle.
11:32 Kevin: " The Mane Man " , PUNS , i see what you did there 😂😂😂❤❤❤

He only has to be on guard with Gabby, because she will pounce on him, like he is another lion. Gabby doesn't have any female companions to wrestle, play and get all of her cat energy out on. Bobcat won't let her do it to him. So she takes it out on Kevin. She doesn't bite or use her claws. She just pounces him, like she would another female companion. These lions are his family, and would never hurt him.
Been watching Kevin's videos for years. Never ceases to amaze me that it's even possible to be so close to lions, even ones you raised.. and live to tell about it.
Bobcat is my favorite because he’s gorgeous and he comes to greet you when you’re near. He loves his dad. 🥰
"Gabbylicious..." Love Kevin's affectionate names for all his pride members...I wonder what name Kevin is given by his lion pals? I vote for "most wonderful human who cares for us", [how ever that is said in Lion-ease😊❤] Bobcat is always just such a regal beauty. All the critters under Kevin and his group's care are blessed to have a life that they would not otherwise have, and we would not have the pleasure of getting to know them all. Thank you for the opportunity to view them in a very personal way.

@@LionWhispererTV Hi guys, great channel, big fan! Kevin said in this video that modern lion experts disagree with Darwin's assertion that the male's mane was there to protect the vulnerable neck area from jaws or claws in a fight. But rather, that the actual purpose of the mane is to show maturity, health, and good genes to anyone looking at him--particularly lionesses. But, regardless of purpose, are Kevin and the modern lion experts he cites and agrees with saying that the mane does NOT offer any significant protection to the vulnerable neck are from jaws and claws in a fight? Have they determined, either from watching fights occur, or even just from handling/petting the mane, that it is not much of a protection as one might think? Or, are Kevin and the modern experts of the belief that, no, the purpose of the mane is not protection of the neck, but as a side benefit, the mane does provide significant protection to that vulnerable area?

I'm watching this again for the umpteenth time. This is one of my fave videos. It is after the fire and I think the day of the fire showed us who Kevin's favorite lion is. He said he'd let Bobcat out if he had to. That's why the other lions don't roar when Bobcat roars. They intuitively know that Bobcat is alpha with Kev. What a beautiful lion he is...and I just love Gabby too
