Kevin Richardson
Kevin Richardson studied zoology, marine biology and exercise physiology, but believed working with animals would remain a hobby. When he was twenty-three, he had the opportunity to work with two six-month-old lion cubs, Tau and Napoleon, at the Lion Park near the outskirts of his home in Johannesburg, he still works with the grown cubs. Kevin’s work with big cats relies on intuition rather than static rules and. He interacts with, slept next to, fed, and lived with lions for most of his adult life. Rejecting the traditional notion that lions should be mastered and dominated, he develops relationships based on love and respect. These relationships however, are not instant- as he has known all of his lions since they were cubs. During the past 15 years, the lion population in Africa has dropped from 400,000 to an estimated 25,000. Kevin his work will educate and raise public awareness for the need to protect and conserve Africa's wild lions. http://www.lionwhisperer.co.za
