Grumpy Hot LIONS _ The Lion Whisperer

I have been away for a couple of weeks now and today is the first day I am back at the sanctuary. So I wanted to just record how the animals react to my homecoming. So I've arrived here with Thor's drip. It is sweltering and let's see the kind of reaction that I get from these guys. Hello guys. Oh, yes, hello. Hello, hello, hello. Hey, drip, drip. Hello, big boy. Hello, big boy. Hello, Thory. Okay, sorry. It's hard to hold this camera and say hello to these wonderful animals, but such a good greeting always from big boy. Yes. Hello, my boy. Hello, big boy. It is so hot. They're all lying in the shade in the night pen. He's my boy. He's my boy. Oh, hello, guys. Look at you. Look at you. No one's getting up. You're all flat, flat like pancakes. At least you three got up and you. Of course, always thankful for this boy. There comes Charles. Hello, big boy. Charlie seems like he's in a good mood. So the boys are in good moods. The boys come to say hello. Hello, big boy. Hello, my boy. Yeah, that's a good boy. Sure, you guys are getting big. You guys are getting really big. Long, long, long, long lines. Look at that. My goodness. My goodness gracious me. Okay, we all go in there. Yeah. Hey, Mr. Charles. Hey, big boy. Yes. Who is that, my boy? Who is that, my boy? Yes, my big boy. Charlie Brown. There's a good Charlie Brown. He's in a good mood today. Yeah. Sure. Nice. Trying to figure out where the best place to relax is. Is it there, my boy? It's a bit hot out there. You should go inside. Yeah, you should go inside. Yeah, you should go inside. The fact that they even come to say hello is something. This really, really does take the energy out of them. Oh my gosh, look at you, Neji. Who's been messing with your face? I don't think it's you. Maybe it's Charlie. You want some? You want some? Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, guys. Wait. Just wait. So Thor is smelling the catnip. I can't tell you how hot it is in here. How are you guys lying in here? Why are you lying in here, not outside? Honestly. Slowly, boy. Charlie. I love a boy Thor. So Charlie hasn't really changed his grumpiness. Hello, Neji. Okay, I'm just going to try and put some fly cream on Neji's wounds. Neji. Yeah. Neji. Yeah, there's been a fair amount of scrapping going on here. You can see some grumpy lines. I just want to do Jabari. Yeah, and that's not your favorite. It's not your favorite, but you know what? It's not your favorite, but it protects you from those pesky flies. One more. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, so as you can see, all six lines are flat like a mat, and it is sweltering. One, two, three, four, five, six. Greetings from all, but not the kind of greeting you're going to get if I visited at five o'clock in the morning. But unfortunately, we are on curfew, so I can't come visit that early. I can only leave my house at six, which means I get here probably quarter to seven, seven o'clock-ish. By the time I get to one or another group of lines, it's already eight, eight-thirty, and it's swelteringly hot at that time. So it is what it is, and it's just good to see them all, and they all still remember Kev, and they obviously didn't expect them not to. But don't lick his butt. He doesn't like that. Next thing he thinks it's me. Old Jabari is licking Charlie's butt, and Charlie's not happy. He's not enjoying that. He's a very sensitive cat, very sentry. Yeah, you can see I am absolutely dripping, so I'm going to love and leave these guys. These guys must be super, super hot. I mean, I have no hair all over my body, and I'm boiling, so I can just imagine how these guys must feel. This night pen is pretty cool, because it's got a bit of a draft that comes under the door, so that's why they do like lying in here. But I must be honest, I still think lying under a tree might be a better bet. Although, having said that, the concrete is a bit cooler, and it's a little bit more comfortable. So yeah. No, I forgot something, guys. Yeah. Look here. Look here. Look here. I'll just put that away. Let's give you the guys. There we go. That's going to cool you down. My famous citronella spray. Oh, Charlie, just stop being such a grump. There we go, Thory. You are the king.
