Part of the Pride: My Life Among the Big Cats of Africa Gebundene Ausgabe – 1. September 2009

4,6 4,6 von 5 Sternen 469 Sternebewertungen

About a year ago, film started to circulate on YouTube® of a remarkable man named Kevin Richardson, an animal custodian in a South African animal park. The film showed Richardson in his day-to-day work, looking some of the world's most dangerous animals directly in the eye, crouching down at their level, playing with them and, sometimes, even kissing them on the nose--all without ever being attacked or injured. The films' popularity skyrocketed and Richardson became an international sensation. In "Part of the Pride", Kevin Richardson tells the story of his life and work, how he grew from a young boy who cared for so many animals that he was called "The Bird Man of Orange Grove" to an adolescent who ran wild and, finally, to a man who is able to cross the divide between humans and predators. As a self-taught animal behaviorist, Richardson has broken every safety rule known to humans when working with these wild animals. Flouting common misconceptions that breaking an animal's spirit with sticks and chains is the best way to subdue them, he uses love, understanding and trust to develop personal bonds with them. His unique method of getting to know their individual personalities, what makes each of them angry, happy, upset, or irritated—just like a mother understands a child—has caused them to accept him like one of their own into their fold. Like anyone else who truly loves animals, Richardson allows their own stories to share center stage as he tells readers about Napoleon and Tau, the two male lions he calls his "brothers"; the amazing Meg, a lioness Richardson taught to swim; the fierce Tsavo who savagely attacked him; and the heartbreaking little hyena called Homer who didn't live to see his first birthday. Richardson also chronicles his work on the feature film "The White Lion" and has a lot to say about the state of lion farming and hunting in South Africa today. In "Part of the Pride", Richardson, with novelist Tony Park, delves into the mind of the big cats and their world to show readers a different way of understanding the dangerous big cats of Africa.

Pressestimmen

“Animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson has such an intimate bond with big cats that he can spend the night curled up with them without the slightest fear of attack…So instinctively in tune is he with these beasts whose teeth are sharp enough to bite through thick steel, that mother hyenas even allow him to hold their newborn cubs without pouncing to the rescue.” ―Glenys Roberts, The Daily Mail (UK)

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 28. Juni 2016
A remarkable, truly moving biography of a man who lives with lions and hyenas. It's a story about a man who does not want to tame the animals, he does not want to dominate them, but to be one of them. The book with the very accurate title, describes how he becomes a respected part of the pride, by acknowledging their rules and living by their social behaviour.

One of my favourite part of the book is, when he describes his visit to a lion farmer. These farms in South Africa breed lions for rich tourist to hunt easily for prestige and "joy". He describes his feelings of anger and sadness seeing this beautiful animals in cages, bred to die. But then he asks himself, what's the difference of a lion to a cow, bred to feed us, bred to die for us? An eye-opening question on how we perceive animals and how we accept animal cruelty on some animals and cry out loud for others.

There are many beautiful documentaries on Youtube that enriches the book.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 11. November 2016
I'm a fan of Kevin and his work. Love every video of his and his animals. So when I found out he had also written a book I had to have it!!
As I had expected it was not a disappointment, it gave us some backstory of who Kevin Richardson is and how he came to work with lions and other predators. How he came to love and respect animals.
He doesn't claim to be perfect or extraordinary but understanding and empathetic.
Besides his stumbles and mistakes.
It made me understand the animals better and also Kevin.
Great read from start to finish. Sad that it's Over.
Thankfully, there are me videos and explanations to come! :)

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 9. Dezember 2018
Bevor ich mir das Buch gekauft habe, habe ich einen Artikel über Richardson und sein Leben gelesen. Der Artikel ließ auf einen modernen Tarzan schließen. Das Buch von Richardson zeigt, wie sich ein normales Leben nach und nach zu einem sehr außergewöhnliche Dasein entwickeln kann. Sehr beeindruckend.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 1. März 2011
'Part of the Pride' is a easy readable book, after you reached the last page it may linger still few more days on your desk until you put it back into the book shelf with some movement. It is the autobiography of Kevin Richardson in form of a collection of life episodes from his not easy childhood, his early start caring for all kinds of animals, his different professions and hobbies to finally his work and pleasure with the big cats. I recommend it highly for people who want to understand and improve their communication and friendship with wild animals not by dry theories but by real and moving stories beautifully supported by photographs.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Left me firmly believing that all animals are sentient.
Rezension aus Kanada am 6. September 2020
Interesting perspective from the "keeper"'s point of view. He knew how to respect the animals and could read their feelings, their warnings to back off as well as their invitations to be.closer. I loved some images, such as the Hyena who loved to rid in a car with his head out the window, grinning at passers by! The book was realistic describing the consequences of not heeding warning messages which resulted in maulings and injuries.

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 24. Juni 2021
What a fantastic read. I took this on holiday with me and could not put it down. It is about how Kevin first discovered his passion for the animals when he ws young and how he became who he is today.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Amazing Narrative - A story of trust, passion and respect
Rezension aus Indien vom 3. März 2020
I love animals, I have hand raised kittens when they were abandoned by their mothers. But, reading this book made me realize I was perhaps not understanding what and how to behave with them.
This book should be introduced in the school as this way young minds can be taught passion, responsibility, and more importantly be empathetic to other creatures.
This raises an important question on why and how to stop or reduce canned hunting.
Kevin deserves to be recognized and respected for his way of showing us the life of an otherwise massive creature. More importantly, he will force the readers to think, if their behavior with animals is correct.

5,0 von 5 Sternen L'homme qui murmure à l'oreille des lions
Rezension aus Frankreich vom 1. Oktober 2019
Magnifique récit par Kevin Richardson, l'homme qui murmure à l'oreille des lions. Il nous raconte comment, gamin, il avait déjà une passion pour les animaux de toutes sortes, et comment il en est venu à cotoyer les grands fauves d'Afrique. Un grand homme qui oeuvre pour une belle cause.
