Which lion has the best roar? Kevin Richardson puts several of his lions to the test, and the results are as powerful as you’d expect. From Bobcat’s unmistakable roar to the calls of Gandalf, Meg, Amy, George, Yame, Thor’s Pride, and others, this is an up-close lion encounter filled with raw sound, personality, and unforgettable moments.

Alongside the roar challenge, Kevin shares a special Good Good Giving opportunity for viewers to support conservation and enter for a chance to win a trip to South Africa. The prize includes flights from anywhere in the world, time in Kruger National Park, exploring Cape Town, glamping at the Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary, and a private conservation experience with lunch at the sanctuary. The video also captures touching moments between Kevin and the lions, showing the trust and bond that make his wildlife work so unique.

The roar recordings are measured at around 115 to 120 decibels, and Kevin explains just how powerful a lion’s roar can be, shaking the ground and carrying for miles. It’s part wildlife documentary, part lion behavior video, and part conservation story, making it a great watch for animal lovers, big cat fans, and anyone interested in South Africa wildlife and lion communication.

Perfect for viewers searching for lion roars, big cat documentaries, wildlife sanctuary content, animal behavior videos, and Kevin Richardson lion footage. If you enjoy conservation storytelling, African wildlife, and close-up lion encounters, this is a strong pick for nature documentary fans and searchers looking for the best lion roar compilation.

01:34a private conservation experience so if that sounds like something that you would
01:39like to do and you would like to support my foundation and the work that we're
01:44doing conserving and protecting lions then I suggest you watch this video right till the end
01:49of the world.
02:19No, no, no, no.
02:52I love that end piece there.
02:54That lion in the background there is Gandalf, who's also a fiery-tempered lion.
03:00He's got a short fuse, especially when it comes to other male lions, and his girls are
03:07also roaring.
03:08But what's interesting is that none of these six are roaring, but bobcats roaring.
03:14Oh, no, no, no, no.
03:48Okay, now watch, watch, watch, watch what's going to happen.
03:51There we go.
03:52Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
04:30Yeah, always Thor's group sets everyone off.
04:34So, yeah, let's just give guys some context as to what happened here.
04:42So, Georgie and Yame have been on a long walk, and they've come up to a particular point.
04:47It's a corner.
04:49We call it the southern corner.
04:52And the end camp is generally a camp that Thor's group tends to like, because it's away from
04:59everyone else.
05:00It's next door to the striped Tyena.
05:02So, there's no lions to irritate him.
05:05But when a lion like Yame, who is a lion in his prime, look at the face.
05:14Hello, my boy.
05:16You see what he did there?
05:18Hello, my boy.
05:19He's reaffirming his bond with me.
05:24That is awesome.
05:26So, what he's saying is I'm his tribe.
05:31He didn't really talk.
05:33He just gave a little bit of a, oh.
05:35But he showed me, he showed me visually through his face and through touch that I'm his tribe.
05:46He's from a farm.
05:54He's from above.
05:59So, what he saw on the ground?
06:02He's from above.
06:09For the rest of the world, he's from above above.
06:15He was also from above to above.
06:15Oh
06:30Hey
06:37Lali
06:55They don't think about the past or the future like we do and I suppose that's
07:00good for their survival, you know, because Amy will

15:07How much fun have you had?
15:09Lots of fun today!
15:13Lots and lots of fun!
15:16Sure!
15:19Good luck!
15:20He's off again!
15:54Bobcat's found his way to the hyenas over there.
16:01And what he will do, he's on this side of the fence and basically he's going to run up and
16:08down trying to terrorize them.
16:28And believe it or not, this is also enrichment for both the lion, bobcat, and the hyenas.
16:41Who thoroughly enjoy terrorizing bobcat.
16:46Okay, he's going to go and have another go.
16:49Yeah, look at him go!
16:54Bobcat's such a good boy!
16:55Whee!
17:01Ready boys?
17:02Whee!
17:07Oh my hat!
17:11A few things have happened here.
17:13One is we've had paw prints.
17:19Going up to these naughty lions on the vehicle.
17:24While it rains.
17:27Raining down.
17:28They are so agile!
17:34Crazy, crazy, crazy.
17:35Crazy, crazy, crazy.
18:02Alright, so let's just talk.
18:03About that all important lion roar.
18:08When they've recorded the sound.
18:11It's measured 115 to 120 decibels.
18:16Which, if you know sound, that's quite loud.
18:21In fact, so much so that often when a lion is roaring, when I'm sitting or standing next to the
18:28lions and they're roaring, you actually feel the ground vibrate.
18:32That sound value in decibels is equivalent to an ambulance siren.
18:39It's equivalent to a rock concert.
18:42It's very loud.
18:43It can be heard up to eight kilometers away.
18:46Now that's by a human.
18:48I'm pretty sure that a lion can hear it further than that.
18:54Their hearing is better than ours.
18:56And for sure, they can hear it further away than we can.
19:01What have they got you?
19:03What are they after?
19:06Some smell.
19:08Alright guys, so I hope you enjoyed the video.
19:11And to support the campaign with Good Good Giving.
