Kevin Richardson is a South African zookeeper renowned for being so intimate with lions that he has been accepted into several prides. Kevin understands these lions at a fundamental level: their behavior, instinct, emotion.

Kevin has slept, fed, and lived next to lions, having worked with many of them since they were cubs. 

 

He trusts lions enough to stick his arm in their mouth!

Kevin leverages his ability to help prevent these lions from being poached. As you can see from video below, these cats have a much gentler side as well.

Kevin truly sees the lions as equals. Watch the incredible video.
