Lion Whisperer Kevin Richardson at Lion Park. Don’t Try This at Home, Boys & Girls!
By BL Ochman
Kevn Richardson, animal behaviorist and trainer, runs Lion Park in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Using only love and positive re-inforcement, he has been accepted as a member of a pride of lions, and a pack of hyenas. This trailer is the promo for a one-hour DVD called “Dangerous Companions.” I’ll say!
And to think: my one little domestic tabby, Noni, (the one who’s purring in my lap right now, and stalking my orchid in this photo) terrorizes BennyBix Ochman Labradoodle Puppy.
Lion Park runs children’s birthday parties (gasp!) and a family brunch (for humans) on Sundays.

I think Kevin is the most amazing and wonderful person. The video is absolutely wonderful as well as the treatment of the animals. Being a lover of Hyenas, they are absolutely beautiful. If only more people adopted Kevin’s approach to the care & treatment of our beautiful animals. Animals are precious and majestic. Well done Kevin !

It is as clever as it is dangerous and I fail to see what particular behaviours will be learned from such unnecessary and risky interaction. I don’t believe that there is any such thing as a ‘Lion Whisperer’ as anyone hand rearing could do the same thing. All this said I believe that the animals have not been declawed or pulled about on chains so are far better off with Kevin Richardson than with Craig Busch.
