Lion Whisperer
1 of 10
Kevin Richardson, South Africa's "Lion Whisperer," serves as human companion to a pride of 38 lions at a reserve near Johannesburg. Working with lions that were born in captivity, Richardson possesses a relationship with the lions that would intimidate most observers. He roars, pets and plays with the lions, making him an honorary part of the pride.
