Just like cats or dogs, lions need some playtime too! In fact, it’s pretty important for them, as Kevin said, “Play is an essential part of staying bonded and close-knit as a lion pride. Stalking and pouncing games are frequently performed especially amongst the younger generations. It helps keep their skills honed for hunting but also sometimes it’s really just about having fun! Yes, lions can and do have fun. The lions in my care are far more likely to play and have fun when introduced to new or different areas. Really important for physical and mental well being.”

A lot of times, people ask Kevin what his favorite thing about lions is, and his answer tends to be the same time and time again: “I’m often asked what attributes I like about lions. There are obviously many but one that always rises to the top is that they’re not two-faced. You know where you stand! I suppose this is probably true of all animals with the exception of Homo sapiens, whose two-facedness, even though I’m astutely aware of it still blows me away. I suppose I always hope for the good in people. Won’t apologize for that.”
