00:00Stunning shot. Georgie!
00:09I'm so very proud of Georgie Nyame. Yeah, today I thought I would go on a walk with
00:19Georgie Nyame. Hello boys and girls. I promise you your turn's next. Georgie Nyame waiting
00:26to go for a walk. Okay, off you go. Hello, boy. Hello, my boy. Hello, boy. Oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:39oh. Hello, my boy.
00:46Very friendly today, Mr. Yum Yum.
00:52Okay, very windy. Very windy, very cool. And they're heading off on their separate ways.
01:03Just give them a little bit of space for the first part of the walk, just to find their feet.
01:09Yum is doing exactly what a lion should be doing. He's kind of marking the bushes. And
01:16Georgie I think has gone straight away to find something to roll in. So, oh, this wind. Sorry,
01:25guys. Forgive me about the wind. This is freezing gale force winds. There he is marking. What a beautiful picture.
01:39Hello, my boy. Oh, oh, oh. Talking, talking, talking.
01:46Is that my good boy? Oh. Yeah, young. Yeah, youngie.
01:55Oh.
01:59Hello, Georgie.
02:05Just the interesting thing is, is that they don't venture too far, the two boys. Lazy one and lazy two.
02:14Oh. Let's go, boys.
02:41Oh.
02:54Good to see them out walking again.
03:01Such a beautiful lion, both of them. Yame is a really impressive cat. Stunning shot.
03:32Hey big boy, hello boy, hello boy.
03:57It's a wonderful thing to see because that is a happy lion. That's what we want to see,
04:02happy lions. Especially the fact that these lions have to live their lives in captivity.
04:08We want them to live the best possible lives. Hello boy, hello my boy.
04:25It's actually quite nice in the sun. Yeah, Georgie, bless you.
04:36So if this wind would actually stop blowing, it's actually quite pleasant in the sun.
04:47Happy spring day, Georgie and Yame.
04:54Happy spring.
04:55Happy spring.
04:58Oh.
05:05Look at them playing there.
05:21Oh.
05:32Hello boy.
05:33Happy spring day.
05:47Here.
06:15Happy spring day.
06:19Oh. Come big boy.
06:37Georgie.
06:41Oh, whoa, whoa.
06:49Whoa.
06:49Ha, ha, ha.
07:06Oh, whoa, whoa.
07:11Oh, whoa.
07:18Oh, whoa, whoa.
07:48What we're trying to achieve. Just trying to go on a nice peaceful walk and just enjoy the moment with
07:56these two beautiful cats.
07:57So, yeah.
08:00That's what walking's about in Richmond. Let them do what they want to do and sometimes just say nothing.
08:06Okay.
08:35Come on, Georgie.
08:36Okay. Let's go, boy.
08:39Come.
08:40Oh.
08:42Yum, yum.
08:44Oh.
08:46Come, boy.
08:48Keep, keep.
08:48Keep.
08:57The weather's really grim.
09:14Oh, whoa, whoa.
09:17Oh, whoa, whoa.
09:18Oh, whoa, whoa.
09:19This wind is highly annoying.
09:31This wind is highly annoying.
09:42Oh, whoa, whoa.
09:47Right.
09:48So, they really are enjoying their walk today, despite the windy conditions.
09:53But look, the lions prefer to cruise around in the cooler conditions.
09:58so um don't blame them uh wanna head off that way though so i'm trying to convince them that
10:08this is a good idea but they're not having anything of it so if you can't beat them join them
10:24cross country lines
10:28running in the fields
10:58oh and the wind's picking up again air temperatures dropped again so
11:04just when i thought it was going to warm up
11:08and no
11:11George really is having an absolute blast today
11:17and yummy too that's really cool to see
11:40okay they are definitely making me get my steps in today so yeah thanks boys
12:00George he's a lunatic
12:03George is so crazy oh thank goodness i rode
12:09all right easier to walk on roads come boy come georgie georgie
12:39okay
12:41so they have now split up. George is heading towards the lions on that side
12:51he's heard a few of them and he wants to go and investigate and Yamae is just
12:59happy to walk roads as Yamae. Hello Yamae boy. Hello big boy. Hello big boy.
13:27Look at that walk. We could recognize that walk a mile away. Yeah and if we are tracking
13:35George in the bush we would know it's George because the hind paws face outwards and that's
13:47because of the collapsed calcaneus and the slackened Achilles tendon and you can see the
13:55way he compensates. But boy oh boy does this guy fight along. I always say to people who
14:09are complaining why can't you be more like George. George never complains he just gets
14:15on with it. If anyone has a reason to complain it's George. No siree. George just gets on
14:27with it without a complaint. He is an amazing inspiration. Inspirational cat. Yamae waiting
14:44for us for us. What a good boy.
15:10Come. Go.
15:15Okay so we're making our way back. Bundu bashing. Taking a bit of a shortcut. Come boy.
15:22And you know hopefully they don't get
15:27that tired that they decide they're going to plonk their butts down and take a rest.
15:31So far so good. The weather's still playing ball. It's nice and cool. Maybe you want to take us another
15:38way. Georgie. Which way do you want to go? Come. I think we go that way. Eh? No. You want
15:47to go that way? Okay.
15:50I'll follow you. As long as you don't make me bundu bash. Which is what you're going to make me
15:55do.
15:56Hey. Come yam. Hello big boy. Did you have some fun? Eh? Did you have some fun?
16:12All right. All right. I think we just head through here boys. Straight through there.
16:27And up. Oh my boy. You fell in the hole.
16:37You fell in the hole. Eh? You fell in the hole. Okay. Up there. Up the hill. Let's go.
16:48Oh, oh, oh, oh. That way. That's a good boy. Okay, go. Follow thy leader. There we go.
17:03Just don't fall in any more holes. It's not that hard.
17:08Oh, oh. 4x4ing. 4x4ing. Up the hill. Around the corner. Almost there boys.
17:19Been a nice long walk. Eh? We need to do this a lot more often.
17:29Oh, those of black jacks. Yummy. Are you taking us in a real
17:36horrible, horrible direction?
17:45I think this way is the better way.
17:52Or not. Maybe we can get through there. Or here. Here we go.
18:01I think here's the better way.
18:04Taking us through a real ticket.
18:13Come, boys.
18:30Surprise, surprise.
18:35I've decided to follow Kev.
18:41Look at you. You're full of black jacks.
18:50Oh, Georgie.
18:55You're full of black jacks and I'm full of black jacks.
19:01It is fun walking through the bush.
19:06All right, we're almost there.
19:13Yeah.
19:20Okay. A little bit of reprieve.
19:26We're going to come here. Aha! Home sweet home, boys.
19:36Come, boys.
19:37Come, boys.
19:40Try and get onto the
19:44flat stuff.
19:46And here is their enclosure.
19:49But we're going to have to walk all the way around.
19:54And this is a big enclosure.
19:58So, bear with us.
20:03Okay.
20:04I think they know that it's home time.
20:11That's good boys.
20:14What good boys.
20:15I'm so very proud of Georgie and Yame.
20:19I cannot tell you.
20:21This has been an incredible walk on so many levels.
20:26These walks are not only important for my well-being.
20:31They're important for their well-being.
20:35They thoroughly enjoy them.
20:37As do I.
20:40But, what's more important is that,
20:43just from a...
20:44Oh, this wind's blowing again.
20:46Just from a mental health perspective,
20:49as well as a physical health perspective.
20:51Just getting fitter.
20:53Healthy body, healthy mind.
20:54And it applies to lions as well.
20:58You know, to have lions being lazy and sedentary.
21:03At a sanctuary or a zoo.
21:06Where they don't get the ability to run around and get much exercise.
21:11It really does play a toll on their health.
21:15So, yeah.
21:16Very blessed to have this area that we can go and walk.
21:22And just let them spread their wings.
21:25Very blessed to have this.
21:26And also very blessed.
21:28And I will re-emphasize the fact that
21:32I'm blessed to have this relationship with these lions.
21:34But it's not something that I recommend to the public out there.
21:39Yes, this is cool.
21:40Go and get a lion.
21:41The complications in keeping captive lions is so severe.
21:48It really, it even sometimes boggles my mind.
21:58And the realization thus is that
22:02these animals really shouldn't be kept in captivity.
22:05That's the honest truth.
22:08Yami is not fooled by my fake,
22:21my fake meat.
22:22Come on, boys.
22:23Come.
22:23Let's go.
22:24Come.
22:25Come.
22:26Don't want to go back home.
22:30This is your home, boys.
22:31Come.
22:32Okay, Yami's been a good boy.
22:34George has been a naughty boy.
22:35Come, boy.
22:36There we go.
22:39Come, boys.
22:40Georgie.
22:50I can give you some of this.
22:52You want some?
22:55Here.
23:00Give him some catnip.
23:11Here, boy.
23:12There we go.
23:13Lick it.
23:14Here.
23:15Lick.
23:16There we go.
23:19Don't bite.
23:20Lick.
23:27Okay.
23:29Now, the trick is to get him from that side to this side.
23:34Come, boy.
23:37Yeah.
23:38Yeah.
23:39Yeah.
23:40Yeah.
23:41Yeah.
23:41Yeah.
23:43Yeah.

23:44Yeah.
23:46Yeah.
23:47Yeah.
23:47Yeah.
23:51Come, boys.
23:53This is the hard part.
23:55Getting lions in that don't have...
23:59I don't have any meat.
24:01You know?
24:01Yeah.
24:01Yeah.
24:02Yeah.
24:02Yeah.
24:03Yeah.

24:28There we go.

24:32Now you look at...
24:41Yeah.
