Why Lions Get Grumpy: Lions: Because we are in a !@#$% cage!!
Maybe Thor needed a Kit "Kat" bar. :)
Aww man i love cat families... if they are dangerous or not
The god of thunder is in a foul mood for not getting enough attention.
Damn....he was hanging out with lions who hadn't eaten in a week!!! Yikes! 😳😨😱
Thor is soo Awesome!!! & his Ladies!!!
Animals in cages
This is a sanctuary. These animals were born in captivity at a canned hunting farm and were rescued by Kevin. If it weren't for him they'd be in far worse conditions and most likely dead. Some of the lions have medical problems. Take George for example who has metabolic bone disease, he can't run or jump well and his claws don't grow correctly. Kevin tries to make their lives as authentic to the wild as possible via large areas, longs walks, opportunity to hunt, etc. He takes good care of them. He even has a foundation that is preserving wild habitat. He genuinely cares about them.
My ❤️and respekt for and youre animals!
they should've have had this guy catch the Tsavo lions
Thor was hangry!
Thor is no longer with you right ?
The Thor you're thinking of was Thor senior who passed away years ago. This is Thor Jr in the video. 2 different lions.
Leave the animals alone and stop trying to pet them.
Im assuming this is your first visit to the channel. Thor was standoffish because he was hungry. Majority of the time they like Kevin's attention and will rub against him and sit with him.

Are you getting them loaded w catnip? ❤️😊😊
Hangry! I can totally feel with Thor!
He wasn't swiping at you,or,the ladies from the truck. He wanted a piece of meat,and,was trying to catch it. When men eat,they like the food to come to them.😂
WHY IN A CAGE? PROUD CRUAL MAN. WOW

I have a 170 pound German shapered and saint Bernard mix named Thor he looks like a big block hear lab Thor is my big boy 2 years old
Thor is allowed to be a grumpy lion,cause I would be more than just that if I haven't eaten for almost a week,and plus the sickening heat on top of that, I would bite someone's head off probably if I was the mighty Thor,or any lion for that matter!!! Yeesh!?!! I better get something to eat!!!....Lol!! Much love from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!! 🇨🇦❤️🦁
7:13 Oh no, that lion has Detroit choking syndrome 😆
I completely understand Thor..still handsome to me xx
A collabration with dean 💓💓💓
Still a great vid. Mr. Thor must be a sweetie, because his version of hangry is much nicer than some ppl I know! 😆🤙🏾❤️🦁 Thank you Kev & Crew for keeping it "real". Also, I love catching glimpses of the visitor center in the background; it's so beautiful!
You can tell Kevin truly loves his lions and everything he does is genuine. Other caretakers feed their animals snickers before filming so they're always a lot calmer and easier to use for content. Keep up the good work!
Amazing what it must be like to run your hands across a lion. That would be the only thing I have on my wish list
this is so inconsistent with the other u tube vids of lions killing each other.
Please do a part 2
Thor looks very skinny?..Is he old?
This Lioness is even worse than Gabby. dehave.info/down/dqqGdrG6e4DXqmk/video
i can't really understand how Mr Kevin get along with these animals...everytime I watch these videos i cross my fingers. You're extremely brave. Lions are extremely aggressive, it's unbelievable.
كلهم أمراء عند رب العالمين جنود الله أجمعين لافرق بين أمير والأمراء إلا سمعنا واطعنا أمر الله تعالى
If they're in captivity they shouldn't be starving they should be fed regularly 😠
They're not starved. They are fed multiple times a week.
Good video, bad music
May not have been the walk you imagined it would be, but so enjoyable anyway! 🙏🏼💟☮️🌍
Walking around with hungry lions... testing their instincts!
How cute; he said, "Bless you." when the lioness sneezed.
A dime: 1942. Cool.
Thor a humble leader: that's the best kind! 'The girls love 'im.' So does this girl! ❤
Thor's so pretty!
I just love Thor so beautiful ❤️🦋
May this man live forever and make these heartwarming videos
Thor was just Hangry. So much for the folks that say Kevin doesn’t get eaten entirely because he makes sure the lions are never hungry when they hang out. 😂
All feline species are moody
After watching kev’s videos , I forget that they are actually ‘LIONS’
Because God made them that way and God made them for the vast open wilderness not so you can cage them up to get your little youtube chump change ...and don't give me the ..I love lions bull ...all this is for you ..to make money of these animals ..so there ...easy answer to the question
Wrong. This is a sanctuary. These animals were born in captivity at a canned hunting farm and were rescued by Kevin. If it weren't for him they'd be in far worse conditions and most likely dead.

White man all up in africa man life🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn't recommend making this mistake again. Ever.
Free the lions to the wild, that's where they belong.

Some of the lions have medical problems that would make life very difficult in the wild.

You should take them some water on your walks.
Mom
You look nice
Thor is still very gentle towards Kevin even though he's hungry.
Sei un grande amico caro
Not feeding lions and then you going in a lion cage and knowbody telling you about it... If you ask me someone tried to set you up.
These lions are more obedient than my cat wth
because you make fart sounds just before lunch time and you kept them waiting for so long time I am surprised they just a little grumpy.
You'd be grumpy too if you were captured and quarantined by those who think they know best.
He literally explained that Thor was hot and hungry. These animals were born in captivity at a canned hunting farm and were rescued by Kevin. If it weren't for him they'd most likely be dead. They were never captured. Some of the lions have medical problems. Take George for example who has metabolic bone disease, he can't run or jump well and his claws don't grow correctly. Kevin tries to make their lives as authentic to the wild as possible via large areas, longs walks, opportunity to hunt, etc. He takes better care of them compared to most places that have lions.
It might be healthy, but isn't it dangerous (for Kevin)?
the videos are always so interesting. and you have an old coin too.
“Thor was not his usual happy-go-lucky self” That’s because it’s a Lion, stupid.
@Silus Hence why I said usually. Im not claiming that they have a one dimensional personality, no one does. Of course their moods are going to fluctuate. People's moods fluctuate as well. But more often than not an individual is going to have a behavior or part of a personality that is usually consistent. For both people and lions. If you look at any other video that Thor is in you'll see that he usually just walks around minding his own business and occasionally greets Kevin or another lion. He's not usually as grumpy as this video shows but because of the conditions(being hot and hungry) he was a little irritated compared to his usual self.
@wolfdude 123 & a proud ARMY since 2015 “Usually Thor is nice and chill” No wild animal has a one dimensional personality. None. Human beings try to put this expectation on each other which is why people end up with shallow, weak personalities. More busy categorizing each other’s behavior than living and letting others live.
He literally explained that Thor was just hot and hungry. Usually Thor is nice and chill. They all have their own personalities and often times are very happy to see him as they come up to greet him with friendly noises and rubbing. Has nothing to do with what species he happens to be. Lions can be happy.
didn't thor pass away a while ago?
@Nezzzeee you're welcome :)
@wolfdude 123 & a proud ARMY since 2015 thank you for the clarification :D
Thor Senior passed away years ago. This is Thor Jr in the video. 2 different lions.
Well. .?? Did they get fed after you finished filming ? 👍😅
Meat and greet..
Are the cats more aggressive towards Kevin or anyone of the staff when they are hungry? Seems like that would be a bad time to take a walk with them. Cant wait for part 2 !!
It's amazing how much trust you can build with wild animals, walking with hungry lions
Usual day, walk with a lion's pride and finding a '42 coin
Lions get grumpy because they are cats. You'd be a grumpy cat too if you made the internet but nobody gave you any credit
Dean Schneider is better.
It's not a competition
You can still see he is a good fella
This poor lion was just doing what a male lion instinctively does. He was listening for other lions roars and scent marking “his territory.” It’s funny how this guy kept calling Thor rude, when in reality he’s the one trying to deter Thor from what his instincts are telling him to do.
He's just joking around by calling him rude. Kinda like how you might call your dog rude if they ignore you. All in good fun.
How long is it hot season there ??
Dude gives me big cat diary vibes before school. Also he knows how to read there moods....so he’s not dead 😂
Are you in Africa
Yes, we're near Pretoria, SA 🐾
Because cats are crazy,
Dude if you dont leave those lions alone
I’m no Big Cat expert whatsoever but isn’t grouchy just a part of their DNA I mean I would think that’s assumed! I’m not sure because I’ve never met an out going friendly Lion!! LOL!
@The Lion Whisperer thank you and I love your videos I was just kidding but you are the bravest Man I know! Cheers!
Not at all, they all have individual characters and in this case Thor was not acting his normal self. Heat and hunger proved not to be a good combination! 🦁
Lion telling his wife you wait till I sit down and relax to ask me to do something and you had all day
Thor is magnificent...stately even. Males need their space during high temperatures..."lions and tigers and bears, ha-ha!"... they love grumpiness because it gives them energy when they most need to have it...like... when..."I didn't get fed!!!"
What an incredible being. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful life with us all Kevin. God bless you.
Will there ever be a crossover between the OG lion whisperer and the swiss guy with lions? Or is it made already??
It's alright, we loved the time with Thor and ladies anyway !
"My pet lion hasn't eaten for a week. Would you like to come on a nature walk with us?" Uh, thanks but I'll take a rain check on that.
Kevin You are just great. I enjoy every video from you Greetings from Germany Sincerely, Rony
Many thanks Rony!
Why anyone gets grumpy
Looking forward to the part two ✌️ Part one was good too... thanks Kevin 👍
You need a design artist for merchandise. You could have some really cool stuff.
He does have merch, check the description it's linked there :)
Wow
those tails....and coat..yes ,such a glorious sight.... and ther personality showing how much we humans have lost in respects of interacting with creatures that have the strengt to voice ther moods awwwwwww!!!!...big kittys taken for a walk on empty tummies!! ^^ I hoppe the tube tells me when the next meet thor video comes....so many people that thinks animals is all brute strengt and only responds to force with no personality etc... love to see a video of a lion male thats a bit of ''gentle giant'' thanks to ther own personality.
Friday is a Blessed Day MashALLAH
Dear Friend You are Doing Amazing Work...Nice Channel....I will Highly recommend your Channel...🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
07:17❤️❤️❤️👍
I just saw your video for the first time. Did you have the lions since they were cubs ?
Awwww poor Thor! I get grumpy too when I don’t eat for like an hour lol. Also, Kevin, I have been wondering why you wouldn’t consider neutering the male lions for birth control as opposed to giving the females hormonal birth control? Hormonal birth control is so dangerous for human females, so I imagine it’s not safe for lions either.
Are you South African my friend?
He is, was born in Johannesburg.
*Y'all gotta stop inbreeding these lions. Blue eyes and Blonde hair are an abomination in the kingdom*
There is no breeding at the sanctuary. All the females are on contraceptives or spayed.
Didn’t know lions can be so cute :3
We should all care and love our innocent animals''
They will eat Kevin one day. It’s very sad.
@Tamara Spink animals don't just suddenly "turn" like a switch. They give off signs and signals to show what they're feeling. Often times when people get attacked its because the animal was irradiated and the people ignored it or didn't pick up on it. You use the example of someone in Germany getting attacked, what was the scenario? A lion in a circus? Was this lion being well cared for? What was its condition?
@wolfdude 123 & a proud ARMY since 2015 There’s no rhyme or reason because you’re dealing with wild animals. They can turn on you for no reason, at the drop of a hat, so your years of experience mean nothing. Many examples, world-wide. I think people just come to terms with the risk and it’s worth it to them. Their choice. There was a lion keeper attacked in Germany two days ago!
He's been working with lions for over 20 years. He has a good relationship with them and knows their behavior, he's fine. Not everyone who works with animals gets eaten you know. George Adamson was a prime example of that.
An animal is supposed to be grumpy💥
Beautiful animals!
Kevin just casually walking with three lions who haven't been fed in a week goes to show how good his relation with these animals is.
You would think with a name like "Thor" he's the prideful one. Why wasn't it filmed on Thursday/THOR'S day though?
They haven't eaten for a week. Even I would start to think about eating that guy 🤣
