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.

wow..that’s an amazing video — especially the scene where he’s sleeping with them!

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 !

Oh my God, this is amazing. I wish I could meet this man ! But South Africa is a bit too far from France ^_^

I am amazed. This has always been my dream. I love animals and cats are my passion. You are a beautiful soul to live your life showing people how beautiful these creations are. I would love to hug a lion, but in the meantime, i work rescuing and adopting cats to loving homes.
