00:00Don't lick his butt. He doesn't like that.
00:04I have been away for a couple of weeks now and today is the first day I am back at
00:10the sanctuary
00:10so I wanted to just record how the animals react to my homecoming.
00:17I've arrived here with Thor's drip. It is sweltering and let's see the kind of reaction that I get from
00:26these guys.
00:26Hello guys. Oh yes, hello. Hello, hello, hello.
00:34Hey, Joop Joop.
00:43Oh, hello big boy. Hello big boy.
00:49Sorry. Hello, sorry.
00:53Okay, sorry. It's hard to
00:59hold this camera and say hello to these wonderful animals but
01:03such a good greeting always from big boy. Yes, hello my boy. Hello big boy.
01:15This is my boy. It is so hot. They're all lying in the shade in the night pen.
01:21This is my boy. This is my boy.
01:25Oh, hello guys. Look at you. Look at you.
01:30Hey. No one's getting up. You're all flat. Flat like pancakes. At least you three got up.
01:39And you.
01:42Of course, we're always thankful for this boy.
01:52Here comes Charles. Hello big boy.
01:59Charlie seems like he's in a good mood.
02:02Hey.
02:04So the boys are in good moods.
02:06The boys come to say hello. Hello big boy. Hello my boy.
02:14There's a good boy.
02:17Sure, you guys are getting big, hey?
02:20You guys are getting really big.
02:23Long, long, long, long lines. Look at that.
02:26My goodness.
02:27My goodness gracious me.
02:29Okay, should we all go in there?
02:31Hey. Hey Mr. Charles.
02:33Hey you big boy.
02:35Yes.
02:37Who's that my boy?
02:39Who's that my boy?
02:41There's a big boy.
02:43Charlie Brown.
02:46There's a good Charlie Brown.
02:48He's in a good mood today.
02:51Hey.
02:54Nice.
02:58Trying to figure out where the best place to relax is.
03:01Is it there my boy?
03:03It's a bit hot out there.
03:05Just go inside.
03:06Hey.
03:07Just go inside.
03:08Yeah.
03:10Just go inside.
03:12The fact that they even come to say hello is something.
03:17This really, really does take the energy out of them.
03:22Oh my gosh.
03:23Look at you Neji.
03:25Who's been messing with your face?
03:29I don't think it's you.
03:32Maybe it's Charlie.
03:36You want some.
03:37You want some.
03:40Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:43Wait guys.
03:45Wait.
03:46Just wait.
03:53So Thor is smelling the catnip.
03:59I can't tell you how hot it is in here.
04:02How are you guys lying in here?
04:03Why are you lying in here?
04:04Not outside.
04:05It's so hard.
04:05Honestly.
04:11Slowly boy.
04:23Charlie.
04:24Charlie.
04:45Love a boy Thor.
04:58So Charlie hasn't really changed his grumpiness.
05:15Hello Neji.
05:24Okay.
05:24I'm just going to try and put some fly cream on Neji's wounds.
05:58I hope there's been a fair amount of scrapping going on here.
06:04You can see some grumpy lines.
06:10And I just want to do
06:15Jabari.
06:23Yeah.
06:28And that's not your favorite.
06:34It's not your favorite.
06:36But you know what?
06:39It's not your favorite, but it protects you from
06:43those pesky flies.
06:55One more.
06:57One more.
06:57It's not your favorite.
06:59No more.
07:21Thank you, thank you.
07:31Okay, so as you can see all six lions are flat like a mat and it is sweltering, one, two,
07:47three, four, five, six.
07:53Greetings from all, but not the kind of greeting you're going to get if I visit it at five
08:06o'clock in the morning.
08:07But unfortunately, we are on curfew, so I can't come visit that early.
08:12I can only leave my house at six, which means I'll get you up at six, probably quarter to
08:18seven, seven o'clock-ish.
08:19By the time I get to one or another group of lions, it's already 8, 8.30 and it's swelteringly
08:30hot at that time.
08:32So, it is what it is and it's just good to see them all and they all still remember
08:39Kev and they obviously didn't expect them not to.
08:45But don't lick his butt.
08:48He doesn't like that.
08:52Next thing he thinks it's me.
08:55Old Jabari is licking Charlie's butt and Charlie's not enjoying that.
09:04He's a very sensitive cat, very sentry.
09:08Yeah, you can see I am absolutely dripping.
09:12So, I'm going to love and leave these guys.
09:14These guys must be super, super hot.
09:16I mean, I have no hair all over my body and I'm boiling.
09:22So, I could just imagine how these guys must feel.
09:26This night pen is pretty cool because it's got a bit of a draft that comes under the door.
09:33So, that's why they do like lying in here.
09:36But I must be honest, I still think lying under a tree might be a better bet.
09:43Although, having said that, the concrete is a bit cooler and it's a little bit more comfortable.
09:51So, yeah.
09:53No, I forgot something guys.
09:55Here.
09:56Look here.
09:58Look here.
10:00Look here.
10:02Look here.
10:02I'll just put that away.
10:08Let's give you the guys.
10:14There we go.
10:15That's going to cool you down.
10:18My famous citronella spray.
10:20Oh, Charlie.
10:21Just stop being such a grump.
10:23There we go, Thorey.
10:25You are the king.
10:42There we go, Thorey.
10:46You are the king.
