Kevin Richardson - The Chosen Friend

I think we have shared his pictures before also but every time I see Kevin Richardson with the big wild cats and how he loves them and what beautiful love he gets from them in return - it is just absolutely fabulous. He does not use sticks or chains to deal with the animals in the wild life conservation reserve in Johannesburg, instead he treats the lions and hyenas with love and understanding. 

The mother hyenas even let Kevin hold their new born cubs without getting angry. Kevin says lions are his favorite of all though. Take a look at these amazing pictures and the best examples of man and animal friendships.
