Jambo rafiki! :)

I have two cats at home: Plummy, an 11 year old female nicknamed “fat cat” by a lot of people lol; and Tchoupi, a happy-go-lucky youngster that plays around day and night! Rightfully so, I consider them as my pets!

What you’re about to see however, are no ordinary cats. Nor can they be considered as pets: they’re African lions!

Yet for Kevin Richardson, the lions that he interacts with can almost be considered as “his” pets. This incredible animal behaviorist has such an extraordinary complicity with them, and has been working with lions for over 11 years. Today, he is a proud owner of a private game reserve not far from Johannesburg, and a “pride member” of 38 lions! :)

The images speak for themselves: absolutely fascinating! Enjoy! ;)

Spectacular Lion Kill in Madikwe!

The entire pride proceeded to fight over a male Impala which they had caught in thick bush. As the footage clearly shows, there was a lot of competition for the meal!

For most environmentalists and animal rights activists it is an almost blasphemous idea to compare the value of one species with that of another, especially when that value is measured in terms of marketing potential for climate change awareness. In recent years, ...
