Meg & Amy meet a PORCUPINE | The Lion Whisperer

I managed to capture Meg & Amy encountering a porcupine whilst out on an enrichment walk.
It's amazing how powerful such a small creature is, even against a lion.

As part of the lions enrichment at the sanctuary they are taken for walks in the greater reserve. The area that they walk in totals 1250Ha and although it adjoins an even bigger area totalling 18500Ha there are natural boundaries that deter them from venturing into it.

Kevin’s intimate knowledge of lion behaviour and especially his knowledge of each animal enables him to walk them freely without any restraints.

Every now and again they do encounter animals such as this porcupine that Amy has happened upon.

The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary's mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.

To raise awareness, Kevin has now set up his YouTube Channel 'LionWhispererTV'. The channel is all about raising awareness about not only the declining numbers of lions, but also how this rapid decrease is happening. By watching these videos, you are directly contributing to our scheme of land acquisition.

Kevin captures the majority of his footage on GoPro cameras, allowing the viewer to get as close as possible to the lions.

By doing this, Kevin hopes to give people an insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and to let them see just what they can do to help. You can nearly touch them.
