This week on Lion Whisperer TV we take a look at one of the most important things Kevin Richardson, the Lion Whisperer, does to enhance the lives of the lions at the Sanctuary - enrichment walks. These walks are good for physical and mental health. It gives these captive animals a chance to be lions and do whatever they want to do in the larger area!

00:00Love, love, love their walks. Look at these two.
00:08Hey everyone, welcome to today's video.
00:11So today's video is going to be all about enrichment walks.
00:15For those of you who have followed me for a long time,
00:17you know how near and dear to me these walks are,
00:21especially for the animals.
00:22And what I want you to pay particular attention to
00:25is how excited the animals get before going on this anticipated walk.
00:31And then remember guys, please do comment down below
00:35as to what your thoughts are. Love to hear your thoughts.
00:39Okay guys, let's go.
00:41One, two, three.
00:49Look how beautiful that looks.
00:51Learn patience, boys and girls.
01:00Hey, Nez, get off.
01:05Nez, you're a nightmare.
01:09Get off.
01:11These islands.
01:13Hey.
01:14Nez is looking out like a leopard.
01:19Thor is on his way.
01:21I think they're all going to get going.
01:23Let's get her.
01:29That poor car takes such abuse.
01:33Anyway, they're happy to be out as a prod.
01:35All right.
01:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:57Today, I'm going to be taking George and Yame
02:00out for an enrichment walk.
02:02And these two lions absolutely love, love, love, love, love their walks.
02:10Look at these two.
02:15I mean, you cannot tell me that these two are not having an absolute blast.
02:23It's insane.
02:24Hey, boy.
02:26Come, let's go.
02:29You're a nutter, George.
02:45Oh.
02:49Oh, now they're all starting.
02:51Now everyone's going.
02:52There's the striped tahina.
02:55Duba.
02:55Duba's going.
02:56The lions are going.
02:57Three, four, five, six lions running up and down the fence.
03:02Isn't this just a jewel?
03:04No, it's not.
03:06I mean, come on, guys.
03:11They have everywhere to run.
03:13Everywhere.
03:15So many places to run.
03:17But no, we must come cause trouble with a vulnerable striped tahina.
03:23Old Duba.
03:24Look at Duba.
03:24And he's saying, come get me, guys.
03:26Look at me.
03:27You think you've got a mane?
03:29Look at the mane on my back.
03:33Oh, they're all marking.
03:36That's the sign of, yeah, buddy.
03:42If there wasn't a fence here, you'd be a goner.
04:12I'm going to let them out and see what they want to do and where they want to go.
04:20George.
04:22Slipping and sliding in the mud.
04:24Yame is looking for something to roll in.
04:26He's fallen in the water.
04:40Oh, guys, I hope you can see that.
04:43Having so much fun.
04:44I'm trying to get around, but I'm also slipping in the mud.
04:48Not easy going.
04:54Now they're going to come and try and wipe.
05:00Oh, now they're getting cocky with each other.
05:03Yeah.
05:04George is not impressed that Yame tried to embarrass him.
05:08Look at Yame.
05:10Oh, puffing up, puffing up.
05:12Oh, puffing up.
05:14He's going to try him on his back there.
05:16No, no, no.
05:18Running commentary.
05:49No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:51These ants have gone nuts.
05:54He's digging for diamonds.
05:58Oh, Yame is having a nice swim.
06:00Let's pretty quickly go back to Yame.
06:02It's not often you see a lion in the water like that.
06:07Yame.
06:16You guys.
06:26These guys are nuts.
06:42Now I'm having an absolute blaster.
06:45This dam has been so well worth rehabilitating.
06:51It's just such a joy to come down here and yeah, let them just go nuts, spread their wings.
07:00Hello guys.
07:02Oh, oh, oh.
07:03Look at that.
07:04We're going walking.
07:06We're going walking.
07:09Yes.
07:10Oh, oh.
07:11Oh, oh.
07:14Look at that excitement.
07:16Hey, big boy.

07:21Jin, Jin.
07:23Ready?
07:24One, two, and three.
07:27Woo.
07:28Woo.
07:40He just wants to get away from her.
07:43Get me away from her.
07:46I've been cooped up with this lioness for weeks.
07:51So, guys, this is something I was explaining to somebody the other day is that why these
07:58enrichment walks are so important is that the lions do get to just do what they like
08:04to do as a lions.
08:14He's your epitome of a really gorgeous male lion.
08:21A lot of people absolutely love him because of his wonderful nature.
08:33I've got to tell you, I'm one of those people.
08:36He doesn't like hyena like most lions.
08:40He's got to the point where he's now seen the hyenas and this is all part and parcel of fun
09:03and there's not much, you know, that's about as excited as he gets.
09:10It's, it's really, it's quite entertaining.
09:14It's about the extent of his excitement, hey?
