Svaha Spirit Series ~The Lion Whisperer ~
As you all know a friend of mine Ryan Ennis is in Africa taking a course to be a Safari Guide. If you haven’t already checked out his blog ‘Ryan In Africa’ you really should, it’s as close as some of us will ever get to being in the wild. I would love to go visit Ryan to see for myself what Africa has to offer, perhaps one day I will. For now YouTube and RIA’s blog will have to suffice. I came across this video and can see how this would appeal to some, not many (lol) but some as we see here. Animal behaviourist Kevin Richardson has struck up a remarkable friendship with an entire pride of lions in South Africa. But check out Ryan’s post ‘Good morning Mr. Whiskers’ to see what most thrill seekers experience when in the company of a pride of lions!
Sky’s Africa Correspondent Emma Hurd reports.
Here is another I just had to add, it shows that although we can live among wild animals their instincts are still deep within them. Enjoy ~

Made me think of those two British guys who raised that lion cub sold by Harrods.
I’m definitely more of a cat person than a dog one. Though, if this had been about wolves it would have been just as amazing. I just like them best from afar! No desire to get that close!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Remarkable animals. I have to admire Kevin for doing what he loves. And yet. Stay safe Kevin.

I think that is what stuck with me after watching this too Bonnie, Kevin says that if something did happen and they killed him, because it could happen, God forbid, it’s just not something he thinks about, he just doesn’t worry about it and he would come back after dying and do it all over again! He is living his life as far as I am concerned !! No regret.
