SPEAKING ABOUT OUR LIFES:

TRANSCRIPTION

This is not a circus act. Unlike the vast majority of people who work
with captive lions, Levin Richardson doesn't carry a stick or a stun
gun and he doesn't control his animals through fear. In this
relationship the lions are his equals and they rarely take orders.
"You're a naughty lion", "a naughty lion", "a naughty cat"
That means he can break every one of the established rules for
interacting with these big cats. He looks them in the eye, gets down
to their level, lies down on the ground with them. And people who
know lions say you should never ever turn your back on one. But
seen from the drone that same incident reveals Kevin's secret, the
lioness goes on to do exactly the same thing to the male lion.
Richardson is just one of the pride.
"They do seem to be attached in a way because when you go away
they do miss you and they do lovingly greet you when you come
back. They are the only social cats as we know, truly social cats. So
that's quite important to their life."

"What do you think is the biggest misconception about lions is?"

"Biggest misconception is mindless man eating killer. In fact they are
really just big, scared animals that are designed to kill because that
how they evolved. But the truth be known they rather run away then
confront."
