The 'Lion Whisperer'
Kevin Richardson, zoologist and animal behaviouralist, raises and trains some of the most dangerous animals known to man.
To do this he does not use the common methods of breaking the animal's spirit with sticks and chains, instead he uses love, understanding and trust.
With this unusual method of training he has developed some exceptionally personal bonds with his students.
He sleeps with lions, cuddles newborn hyenas, swims with lionesses.
Kevin can confidently look into their eyes, crouch to the their level and even lie down with them - all taboos in the normal world of wild animal handling - yet he has never been mauled or attacked.
Some call him crazy; others shake their heads at his unique method of interacting with the animals.
And Kevin's secret - get to know the particular personality of each animal, what makes them angry, happy, upset, irritated - just like a mother with a child.
Surprising because in the wild lions don't like water
But this lioness is playing with him in the water
