I like Dr. Caldwell's calm explanations. It's so informative. WIshing Bongani to get better soon!
He's the best! 🙏
The veterinary side of caring for the lions is so fascinating! Thank you for this video :)
Love how Kevin was like a proud father when Meg got her injection without any fuss 😅 She's a star
Meg is such an angel 😇!! What a good lion. Loved this video. She really needed that pedicure!! Lol
So nice to see how well these lions are taken care of and watched over. No wonder they live to be 18!!! Thanks Kevin. ❤️❤️❤️
I always learn new things when Dr. Caldwell visits. You can see how much cares. Kevin is , as always, right on top of what is happening with all the animals in his care; just like any good Dad. Heartwarming!💖🦁
Meg is such a amazing and beautiful cat. Such an endearing character. ❤️
Fascinating to watch, boys looking so good for their age. Indication of how well they are looked after! Meg being a star as always ✨
Thank you Dr. Caldwell and team for taking great care of the lions!!
Always nice to the lions especially Meg.
Meg is such a good girl/boy. I love her personality and how much she loves you. 💜
?...Meg is a "girl", you don't need to add the "boy".😓

Meg is just so beautiful. It is always great to see her still and be able to see her features better up close. If I was your assistant, I would have to give her a GIANT hug while she was out. 💕💕
Meggy got a pawticure 😜 Love how well you look after the animals in your care!
Thank you, Kevin and Dr Caldwell for giving your furry friends lots of TLC, and sharing the videos with us. Soo sweet that Suja joined Bongani in the truck for company. I hope the injections help Bongani ! Happy to hear, Gandalf got a clean bill of health, he's a beautiful boy. Meg is soo chill and lovely, it was great to see how easy getting her injections was. Clipping her nails was amazing. 🥰🦁❤💖
Thank you for showing us Caldwell's work at your sanctuary. I love to watch that. Very educational.
I feel for Bongani. I've had arthritis in my hind quarters too!! I've had seven hip replacements/revisions in four years!! It's no fun when it hurts just to move in bed. Dr Caldwell is just the man to help Bogani with his pain and weakness. The price we pay for living a long and full life. Yay for Gandi!!!! Pretty much a clean bill of health. Love that!! Last but certainly not least, Meggie!!! Hey, even us older gals like a pedicure to make us feel pretty. What a wonderful AND beautiful cat!! Thank you, Kev and Dr Caldwell for keeping our kitty's well and strong.

Seeing Meg made my day.
I hope the two boys get better soon! Meg is made beautiful!
Meg is always gorgeous
Of course Meg is beautiful, no question! I meant more that it is made beautiful with the manicure. Women also go to get their fingernails cut etc.
She's a lucky girl. I wouldn't mind Dr Caldwell doing my nails...as long as he doesn't use the bolt cutters.
@@danieladobner201 )))
Dr. Caldwell is the best! Love watching him work, especially when it's low-stakes checkups like this! Watching Meg get a manicure - wow! Those claws! I hope you're all right, Kevin, those were some wickedly sharp claws!
Kevin looks so happy for the lions when he is recapping the day in his car. I love it.
I really enjoyed the video! Meg was such tolerant and god patient. What a personality!💞
Other lions when sedated: roar, snarl, snap.
Meg: yummy. Kev has meat. Yum.
She's such a character and I adore watching her interactions with Kevin very much. I'd love to give her a hug like I do my domestic cats but I'll just live vicariously thru these videos instead!!😹
Thank you Kevin and Team…Absolutely Beautiful process of taking care of Our Sentient Beings 💜🙏🏻
Nice to see detailed care for those with issues, rather than just being held in their enclosures. Great work.
Geeeez ! If you thought it was hard cutting your cat's claws, it's nothing compared to using plyers for a lion !! Glad to know Gandalf and Bongani are faring relatively well for old boys! Hope you have a wonderful weekend y'all!🦁😸👍☀️
I sincerely hope things work out, they deserve to age and fade out gracefully and painlessly.
Bongani is such a trooper, to be 18 and still kicking! I remember him when he and his brothers were just born, little teacup cubs! I hope he feels better soon 💓
Hi Keke, is there a video of that? Could you please give us more info about it? I'd like to watch Bongani and their brothers as a cubs..... Thanks in advance =)
@@AnneBorja There's an old documentary called 'Dangerous Companions' that Kevin did many years ago, should still be on CZcams.
Wow , getting an upclose look at the size of a lions paw!, not to mention the claws. So much bigger than my cats paw.! Thank you Kevin for sharing with us! Love to everyone who works and lives at the Sanctuary! ❤❤❤🦁🦁🐆🐆🦁🦁
Kev your lions are in the best hands ever! They look amazing and are very healthy despite their old age. May Bongani have the strenght he needs in his hind legs!
Dr. Peter Caldwell is the best, love when he comes on your videos. He cares so much for the animals.
Agreed. 🙏
That'd have to be one hell of an honour for the vet, Dr Caldwell to be making sure the lions' health and wellbeing is all good. What a great man! As the lions get on in age, it's great to see they're getting the best of care in their seniors years....
Heartwarming to see how well they’re all taken care of🙏🏻Poor Bongani with his Osteoarthritis 😔I know myself how much that hurts… Great to see that Gandalf has improved so much! And dear Meg: I love that girl so much♥️Glad to see how well she is. Dr. Caldwell is a wonderful vet. Your furry family is so fortunate to have people like him, you and your great staff around them 🙏🏻♥️
It's always interesting to see how different they all react to situations. Meg's pedicure was very satisfying. 🖤
Always interesting to see Dr Caldwell’s vet visits.
Aww poor Bongani … what a rough ride he’s had with FIP and now his leg. And Gandolph with AS… still super handsome for 17 and 18 year old lions .
And marvellous Meg of course! I’m So happy they all have you Kevin and your team along with Dr Caldwell to take extra Fantastic care of them. Your unwavering commitment, love and attention to all your animals is heartwarming to see. Your videos always help me feel better with my own health problems so much . There should be more Kevin Richardsons on this planet for sure 🦁🦁🦁♥️♥️♥️
The Marvelous Miss Meg! 🦁
Very well said 👍 Marvelous Meg ❤️
And in the wild, they only live to be 8yrs old on average.
P
Sometimes I wish lions could live longer util like 50 or 30 it’s so sad they only live less than 18 years
I always hold my breath when I see the vet arriving. So glad all is well.stay safe.
Oh my Hat ! 17 and 18 yrs young. The senior kitties are still spry!!! Thank you Dr and Kevin for your superb care of them! Hopefully Bongani will benefit from the course of drugs and supplements. ❤️🦁❤️🦁❤️🦁 Of course Meg is the purrrrrfect patient ! So happy her mani pedi went swimmingly 😆! She is such an amazing cat! Thank you again for a great video! Be well be safe !! God bless you and all the animals at the sanctuary! 🦁❤️🦁❤️🦁❤️🐈🐈🐈
Watching the care and attention received by the lions of the foundation truly has me worried about those in the wild. Dr. Caldwell is such a wonderful and caring veterinarian. Thank you for sharing. 🐾
Aw, they‘re getting old 😏Lets hope Dr. Peter can do some magic with Bongani. Happy to hear the old grumpy one is doing so well, he‘s one of my favorites I must admit. I am a bit disappointed that Meg didn’t get a nice nail polish, she could have charmed Icky with pink toe nails❤️🦁
Watch out for that future episode Sabine! 😂
When I was a dog groomer many years ago some of the dogs really did get their nails polished. 🤣
"If only they could all be like Meg" is the most accurate statement about all the lion's under your care. She is ALWAYS so chill about everything. Such a wonderful "Girlie"
That said Bobcat and his aloof, stay out of my sight attitude is still my spirit animal. He just speaks my language. 😂
Good point but then we wouldn't be able to enjoy; "Gaby!" ;)
My heart always melts when I see Meg, she has such a beautiful spirit. Nice seeing Gandolf and Bongani Hope the steroids help. Blessings❤️
Blessings back Tia!
I LOVE ALL THE LIONS!! however Meg is my favourite. how can i send some money to assist you Mr Lion Whisperer?

Wow I’m always blown away by the sheer size up close of these lions. Those claws were no joke. I’m glad they won’t be hurting her feet anymore. They’re all very lucky to have someone watching out for them.
Well done and thank you to the Doc and Kev and the staff!! Megs, you are fiercely full of grace... and those boys are the example of how to age with dignity. Getting older is humbling - you show us all how to do it. Kev and team my prayers to you and your hearts as you watch these gorgeous souls age... bitter sweet but no regrets! Smiles and blessings...
With everything going on in the world, seeing these amazing cats always makes me smile
I was so thrilled to see this video especially about Bongoni! Pray this makes a difference for him! Thanks to Dr. Caldwell and all involved! ❤️
❤️❤️🔥 you you y
Meg's paws!! The size of them. Great video this week.
Hahaha: yes: Megs' paws are massive.
How does Kevin manage to make these angry, fearsome lions look like cute little adorable kittens? I love this channel!!!🥰
Tickles and food! 😉 Thanks for loving what we do... we appreciate every view!
Because he is the big kitty whisperer and he has the best high protein treats for them as well
Make no mistake. These lions trust this man beyond doubt.
I love how they're taken such good care of! 💙👍
This doc is the calmest Vet I've ever seen...
Love getting up close and personal during Dr Caldwell visit. Happy that Meg, Gandalf and Bengani are doing well. We all know as we age we may need a little doc potion. I love Fridays with Kevin and family ♥️✨🙏
Wow, Kevin. The level of care you give these lion's is amazing.
Another great and informative video. Happy these angels are doing well and were given a clean bill of health. Wishing them many more happy and healthy years ahead with you by their side💛
So much huffing and puffing from the boys, then there's superstar Meg. 😅 Bongani is such a fighter! Everything he's been though, so he's a superstar too 💫
😅huffing and puffing!
Yep not a peep from Meg
@@Xxluvable94xX I'll bet she'd purr at Kevin if she could.
Meg is such a sweetheart. I can already see how sad Kev will be the day she’ll be gone (hopefully the latest possible).
Great job. Ageing is inevitable however these magnificent creatures do it with such grace and style. We should learn a lot by this. I am sure they put one paw in front of the other and just keep going. Like a loving parent Kev you know when one of them or two or three need a little help from the Doc. What a gifted man he is. Thank you Kev, love and blessings to you and your team.
Yay! A lion whisperer video to help me through a boring workday ❤️
Glad to be of service Pumpkin! 😆
@@LionWhispererTV I really hope Bongani will be ok 😕
@@Pawsandtales321 Us too, he's always been a fighter. 🙏
Brilliant to see Dr Caldwell, such a caring, positive vet. Great to see the Lions well looked after and happy.
Yeah, these lions even speak English and Afrikaans! They are happy lions! Did you know Singh is another word for lion? Many people called Singh join the Lions Club, and are surprised the others are NOT called Lion.

Always appreciate a vet update with the lions. They couldn't be in better hands, thank you to the whole Lion Whisperer team!!!!!!!!
Thanks Khati! 🙌
Oh how I wish these wonderful cats never aged. Thank you for the update and positive vibes for them though. 💕
Really impressed by George and Caroline’s dedication. Kev thank
you for including us in Dr Caldwell’s
work and teaching.
With those huge nails, I see how they
can take down a large animal.💕
Spa day for Meggie😍 Reminds me of when I clip my own cats nails, except her clippers are much much smaller! Good to see Gandalf doing well, hopefully Bongani will also improve with the meds he’s been given. Really interesting video ❤️
That's what I was thinking, too! I use such tiny clippers to do my kittys' nails. Meg's nail trimmers looked like bolt cutters! It was rewarding to watch though, wasn't it?
@@anyascelticcreations Very rewarding!
Old age is inevitable but these lions are so lucky to have a doctor that makes house calls! No better place for a lion to grow old! ❤️
"Out in the wild" they'd have no chance, so yes they're lucky to be in such good care!
Still out in the wild is where they belong and they are built for it. But of course these rescued lions are in a good place
I think so too!
😊Yes, very lucky to be in the capable hands of Dr Caldwell!
These lion have kneepads!
I just love how these kitties are well taken care of. Thank you so much Kevin and Dr. Caldwell for your love and compassion for these magnificent animals. My girl Meg is such an amazing lioness, I just love her.❤🦁
Interesting to see the process, wishing them all the best
Oh YAY. My first special video since I became a member...I am SO happy. Wish I had tons of money to donate, but I'm sure ever bit helps. It sure makes me feel good to be able to help with these majestic creatures and learning about Kevin and his knowledge. Thanks a million times for what you do. Diane in North Carolina USA
I love how you know each of the animals in your care and notice when intervention is needed for them. We often wonder if the vitamin supplements made a difference. So happy that it looks like the vitamin A did help in this case. 😊 It was such a surprise to find out that lion's claws can get ingrown like that into their pads. That had to be uncomfortable for Meg. I'm sure after her trim she was a much happier lion thanks to you and Dr. Caldwell, and let's not forget about vet assistance Georgie! 🤗🧡🙏
the love and care you give them is so wonderful!! prayers for all of them.. and the staff!!! great work team!!!
my prayer for Bongani. I hope he feels better after the treatment. Suja not wanting to get off was cute too. He went in to hear the diagnosis with Bongani. =)
I'm happy to see all of the lions, and also love the Gandy's LION ATTITUDE!! (he's super cool always)
He sure is a character! 🐾
Meg is an amazing patient. ❤ Hoping and praying Bongani will start feeling a better. Praying for all of them! Especially for the wonderful and amazing doctors and Kevin, God Bless you all. Thank you for the great video!! ❤🦁🦁
I love how you talk to the animals. Telling the one you got a clean bill of health, now we need to work on your behavior.
It’s so beautiful to see the love you have for all the animals, their like your children and to see how happy you are walking with them, grooming them and talking to them as humans. I love it. It has ALWAYS BEEN MY 2 kids and myself to go there and we will.
18 years old is simply incredible.
A legend amongst lions! 🦁👑
I love how good you both get along - you and the vet! That is so precious and harmonious to witness.
Despite their age the lions are still enjoying their lives, thanks to the care given by your dedicated team.
The lions are in exceptional condition, especially considering their age. It's testimony to the love and care they've received their entire lives. Kevin has treated them like they are his children. One of the biggest factors is their mental stimulation and emotional health, which Kevin tends to beautifully. The lions hyenas, and leopards at the sanctuary receive the best care, and it shows!💕🦁💕 I'm glad they're all doing well.👍🏻😊
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Caldwell. I have a soft spot for grumpy Gandalf, good to know he's doing well. Kudos to everyone in the Sanctuary 💙
So glad you have an incredible vet team ❤
I love and respect animal and human caretakers. You guys are awesome ❤
It’s so difficult to watch our furry babies age. God Bless you Kev, Doc, and the whole Lion Whisperer Family. Good to see some of the lions we haven’t seen in a while.
loved them all 🧡
Thanks Maymay! We do too ❤
I love lions 🦁 I have the little cats 🐈 but it’s good to see there similarities. You can tell what a beautiful relationship you have with them. 😻
Big ones, little ones doesn't matter - We ❤ cats!
You are such a wonderful steward to the lions! 🦁 Good to see Sweet Meg will have happy feet 🐾 when she awakens!
Thank you for showing Gandalf. I absolutely adore him! I’m so happy he’s doing well. I wish he was in more videos. Meggie is beautiful as always. I hope Bongani isn’t in any pain. I look forward to hearing that he’s comfortable. Thank you for taking care of them Kevin. Your videos are my favorite in all of CZcams.
Thank you!! And Gandalf will be pleased! 😊
The lions that were 17 and 18 yrs old looked much younger than their ages. I can tell all of these lions are happy and well cared for. They are also so beautiful and know they are loved and special. God bless all the people who give these lions so much love and care.
Time gets us all in the end, but in the meantime, I'm so happy and grateful for you Kevin, and your incredible team who love and care for all the amazing animals, giving them the best possible chance at a happy life. You're all heroes.
Vielen Dank Kevin das Du und Dein Team Euch so toll um die Tiere kümmerst.Selbst im Alter wo sie besondere Anwendungen benötigen.Ich umarme Euch alle durchs Netz.Danke für alles!❤❤❤❤
Thank you Kevin that you and your team take such good care of the animals. Even at the age when they need special treatments. I hug you all through the net. Thanks for everything!❤❤❤❤
Merci Kevin que vous et votre équipe prenez si bien soin des animaux. Même à l'âge où ils ont besoin de traitements spéciaux. Je vous embrasse tous à travers le filet. Merci pour tout !❤❤❤❤
I can relate to Meg, the way to my heart is through my stomach.

Always looking forward to Friday's video love you kev and lion whisperer team
Thank you!
Always a pleasure to see you Dr Caldwell 🙌 thank you for your good quality care and the follow-up of Kevin's animals, they are doing very well for their ages ❤ Hello from France to Georgy and Caroline 🙂
I work in animal rescue and there are folks who don't take their companions to the vet at all. These animals are so fortunate to be in your care. You take such great care of them all. Thank you for all you do. I said it before and I'll say it again, you and your team are amazing 👏 ❤️
Geogrie does a really good job.! Meg is my favorite! She has a beautiful face of all the Lionesses.
Bless you Kevin for taking such good care of the beautiful animals, if only Al animals could be taken care of like this.
A fantastic update, thank you. I love waking up to these new videos every Saturday morning 😁
I do hope Bongani is OK. Great to see that there were no major issues with good old Gandalf (apart from the attitude!haha!)
What a fantastic video! The lions are so blessed to be under your care Kev, and of course the amazing Dr. Caldwell! Please stay safe & blessed!!
Thanks Kev, really enjoy the videos with Dr. Caldwell! Love seeing all the care that goes on behind the scenes to keep these lions as healthy and happy as possible. So great to see these seniors still thriving and enjoying life! ❤️ Thank you for all you do!
This video offers different perspective on care for lions, conditions, treatments, effort. Excellent and thank you.
I hope the treatments work well to make them feel better!
Once asleep, I would take the opportunity to cuddle this big cat!!!🥰 Irresistible!
So glad to hear Gandy is doing better than expected. I hope the meds help Bongarni (not sure of spelling, sorry) feel better. Please keep us updated on him, he's such an awesome cat. Meg is going to feel like a million bucks after getting her paws and claws done. ❤ Dr. Caldwell is so amazing and caring.
Awww. God Bless Your Sweet Heart! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜💜
🙏 thanks!
Yes Meg is the Best wow she is a beauty. She didn’t even flinch when the doctor gave her that shot.
Yeah I really like this video too. It’s so wild how they are sleeping and the dr is just pulling on his back leg like it’s no biggie. They are so beautiful
After watching this channel for awhile we find ourselves getting used to this man interacting with wild lions like people interact with their dogs. Amazing!
The lions are so lucky to be taken care of their health issues. They’re so beautiful. I use to have reoccurring dreams about lions trying to break into my house and eat me until I started watching your videos. I haven’t had any dreams like that and I admire the beautiful creatures that God gave us. Kevin you are an angel and all your helpers. 💕💕
