Bobcat's greeting/reaction to Kevin makes me emotional every time. That cat loves him so much, there's no doubt.

@shanieyoung4300 2 года назад

The love and adoration you get from Bobcat, you can’t help but fall absolutely and completely in love with him

@markwhatever.209 2 года назад

I am a big fan of Bobcat, as Kevin says: "You always know where you stand with him", a very self confident lion.

@aurorasstorm5877 2 года назад

Bobcat always has stories to tell. Such an incredibly beautiful lion.

@bexaboo1956 2 года назад

The fact that Kevin gets a full sized male lion to willingly lounge in his lap will always be fascinating to me. Keep up the good work, you bring smiles all around the world and spread much needed knowledge about misunderstood creatures

@embreis2257 2 года назад

this clip seems to confirm the lions are by far the easiest animals to read and to be around. hyena society is a bit tricky and leopards usually are solitary creatures but lions live in prides with pretty obvious rules and none too cryptic communication patterns. wouldn't be surprised to learn Kevin himself feels most relaxed when in the company of lions.

@@embreis2257 ......In my book that would be Cheetahs, domesticated in ancient times, when they, along with Servals, Savannah Cats and the ancestors to our house cats, the African Wild Cat, would protect the grain[and vegetable] stocks from all kinds of rodents. Including the southern migration of the big Norwegian Brown Rat, some of whom can be aggressive, requiring something with a little more bite to catch.

@embreis2257 2 года назад

@@LoneBrowncoat don't know about Savannah cats but African Wildcats are ferocious beasts I wouldn't want to deal with. anyway, was commenting on the three species Kevin featured in this clip. on a wider note, cheetahs probably are my personal favourites. of all cat species mentioned so far you could set me up with more than one cheetah right now and I would be completely fine while even one small African wildcat would be way too much for me to handle.

@@embreis2257 .......Their temperament would be closer to a domestic feral, having no trust in humans, especially if mistreated or abandoned. Like I always got along with the feral mothers, but the wild born kittens are another story.

Bobcat is my favorite male lion. The way he acts when he sees you and his way of talking to you and the look of happiness when he's head rubbing you reminds me of the way a favorite pet would act when they haven't seen you all day. As far as the female lion's it's either Meg or Gabs (if Amy were still around it would be her and Meg) they must think of you as the #1male, you can see it in their eyes. You are a very lucky man Kev, thanks for doing what you do for those poor felines, they look much happier after meeting you and your staff of great people who look out for the unfortunate ones.

The best video in awhile, something for everybody! Love seeing the hyenas being so affectionate. Duke peeking around the corner at you was too precious. You saved to best for last, though Gabby seemed to be more inclined to sleep rather than fight Bobcat for your attention that day. His vocalizations are so endearing. You are a very blessed man to have earned their love.

I think the greetings with animals is much like with people: letting others know that you're a friend and that you mean no harm. No one likes to be snuck up upon: it could be dangerous! Kevin's animal friends know his scent and his vocals. They've all known him since they were cubs and recognize those sounds as something that means love, affection, and safety. It's wonderful to see & hear his relationships with these creatures. Thanks, Kevin, for sharing all of this with us!💗🦁💗

@waynekaminski5438 2 года назад

This is one of your best informative videos on how you communicate to and listen from the animals in your care. Each animal group has a very distinct and different set of vocalizations and that is why an inexperienced person would soon be in mortal danger. Kevin's experience and keen eye serve him well. One thing to notice is that Kevin is always aware of everything around him when he steps inside the enclosures. Kevin always has his senses tuned to the situation and knows how to "read" the animals. It is never about "Kevin" and always about what an animal is presenting. Kevin reads the state the animal is at in the presemt and goes from there.
