The Gathering | 200 Wild Elephants | World's Only Twin Baby Elephants! 🇱🇰
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ต.ค. 2020
- It was our first time seeing hundreds of Elephants in the Wild! Even more amazing is that we saw the only set of twin baby Elephants in the world! It's definitely the one of most special wildlife experiences in the world, partly because of the large number of babies. During the dry season from July to early November, several hundred elephants gather first in the Minneriya National Park and then move to Kaudulla National Park in Sri Lanka.

How many elephants did you count in this video? Who wants to visit The Gathering after seeing this?
Me me me but I’m torn between visiting them and leaving them there undisturbed. On my last visit to Srilanka we didn’t see a single elephant at yala national park but saw one just outside the park.(of course we were unlucky to see a leopard too which is a rare sighting)
@@nalaniepitakubura1666 Pinnawala keeps elephants in captivity as slaves...even when they are old enough to be released. I'd much rather see them in the wild!
How are you two? I think you're fine. I live in Sri Lanka, in a town called bakamuna in the polonnaruwa district.
There are beautiful places on this side Balanda eg: - You can climb mountains, you can go to rivers If you like, you can come and go on this side at no cost, you can even stay at my house. Plzz
Matured male elephants can be very dangerous instantly
@nuren exactly! Thanks for that explanation. So many tourists have a wrong idea about the pinnawala orphanage and it's purpose
Those little baby elephants are the cutest! So much better to see animals roaming free in a natural habitat than at the zoo or in a theme park show.
This is by far the best vlog done by a foreign traveller about the elephants in Minneriya national park. Grate G work Johnny
It touch my heart . My little paradise Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.. thank you 🙏 sooo much for this video
Amazing. You are the most humble TH-camr I have ever seen.
I am following your journey for a couple of months now, this is the best ever video
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked this one that much!
Thank you Johnny for sharing our beautiful Sri Lanka to the world. We have never seen so many elephants ever. Feels like we were there. "The twin babies" what an extraordinary moment !
Man that was fantastic, so many elephants!. You guys got so close to them. The twins are very rare and you witnessed once in a lifetime event! Thank you!
Oh you were so relaxed back then. Just 2 years ago. Hope you find your bliss again.
Thanks for the amazing video johnny! I'm from Sri Lanka and living abroad now and have never been to some of these cool places yet! Get to see them thanks to you! Looking forward to more videos from Sri Lanka.
This is the largest gathering of Asian elephants in the world.
European colonist decimated the elephant populace in the thousands in Ceylon (SL). The mighty tuskers were the trophy target. The ramifications of the brutal onslaught reflects today, where tuskers are extremely rare. The gene pool of the strongest and largest has been dramatically undermined. Big bulls
are a rare cite to behold.
Englishmen left the country more than 70 years ago , since then to this day, the local savages continues to hunt the tuskers for ivory , it is because of the local hunters that you don't see any tusker in the wild today not because of the Englishmen , such a shame for so called a Buddhist Country !!
@@ladiswashharoom1052 didn't think majority Sri Lanka elephants have tusks?
A Mr walker killed the last giant elephant. The museum in Colombo has its skull. Its skull is twice the size of these elephants
World first twin babies elephant in sri lanka 🇱🇰
Thanks for sharing the beauty of Sri lanka to the world!
Man!!! While rest of the world is fighting COVID ... you are fighting to fun 🤩..... .. love it man !!!
Thanks! I'm super glad that I decided to stay in Sri Lanka during COVID instead of panic flying back home or somewhere else: www.johnnyfd.com/2020/03/coronavirus-thoughts-and-travel-plans.html
Johnny FD yup good decision mate !!! I missed to make that decision else I would be there too
It is a matriarchal society and males are chased away once they reached puberty.
This is another beauty of the Creation to avoid inbreeding and weakening Gene pool in the herd.
Twins are a rarity and so are the dwarfed one found in the Yala National Park.
Sometimes they form a unique pack of three females consists of Grand Mother, Mother & the Granddaughter, another rarity once seen in Wasgamuwa National Park and that is where you will find the biggest & the tallest Elephants in Sri Lanka. Some are almost 6 meters tall.
By the way, do you know how they measure the height of wild ones?
You will not believe it but it is two times the circumference of their front foot will measure up to their neck.
Twin elephants 🐘 🐘 are so cute... 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Thanks for the beautiful videoclip. The background music is also very nice
My mother country how beautiful
Beautiful video. Thanks for uploading.
You all ways doing a great work Johnny.it's really nice
Great video as always Jonny.Incredible amount of elephants at one place!Same time its a great example of how poachers have removed Alfa males with tusks over the years,and now its new generations through tusksless gene pool,bit of a shame,but may be that's the way forward for the survival of these animals,otherwise they'll be hunt for extinction.Its rare in general to have big male Asian elephant with with full grown tusks compare to African elephants,but poaching have made good strong gene tuskers to extinction.😔
It's such a shame that the large tuskers never had a chance to reproduce and pass on their genes!
@@JohnnyFD True ma man,You look like a strong bull,makesure you produce your offspring,may be with Christina to be strong,smart and tall😉

Liked your video even before watch it. This is the place - Minneriya if you desperate to watch wild elephants. You were so fortunate as you were able to spot those twin baby elephants which we couldn't make in our visit exactly a month ago. Another nice video...Keep it up...
Wow amazing ,i saw 49 elephants 💞
Johnny your videos are absolutely amazing. We are very grateful for you; showing these amazing visits. Really appreciate your work for revealing the beauty of Sri Lanka to the world! Hope to see more vlogs like these 😀 Keep up the good work !!! 🙏👍💗
Great work for Sri lanka
Jeep arrival disturbed the elephant families
Good job Sri Lanka very
Johnny too many Elephants more than 200 wow unbelievable
Wow how totally amazing!! You were so fortunate to see them and the twins!! It was so interesting to see how they eat the grass!!..great video guys thank you so much and thank you Sri Lanka Tourisum for showing this beautiful place!!..viv
ohh wow You got great experience. Specially you both are so lucky to seen twin babies here in Minneriya national park with big gathering wild elephants. I enjoy well your nice video. thanks Johnny.
quality video . amazing . great as bbc quality
Amazing!!! Look like elephant 🐘 Farm
Great Vlog. Johnny, some time ago you showed Siam View in Arugam Bay. I know the owner, Manfred (German Origin), he is currently having legal problems as some is trying to grab his land which he bought and paid for some time during 1990s. It may be a good idea if you could vlog this to highlight the legal system in Sri Lanka where court cases get dragged on and on costing a fortune in legal fees.
I suggest that the Sri Lankan president consider giving you both Permanent Residence sothat you two can visit Sri Lanka often & even do more to give more publicity to Sri Lankan tourism. I have never seen any one doing so much to promote tourism of any country. In fact the Sri Lankan government tourism authorities must be guilty for not doing any thing any where close to what you 2 are doing tirelessly. I have never seen so much, any where, about Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is really a wonderful place full of nature & wonderful people. May God bless both of you & wonderful Sri Lanka. I'm just waiting for the right time to visit Sri Lanka again & spend a long time just doing nothing & enjoying the country. One would say that you must try it to taste it but I have seen so much from your beautiful videos.
Hi Tony, if you know the President, tell him we'd love to have permanent residency here. =) But actually as for Sri Lankan Tourism Bureau, they actually took us to Jaffna and are sponsoring the next 6 videos to take us to places we weren't originally going to visit! So they're doing a great job!
Beautiful video my friends you guys travel lot places in SRI Lanka and thank you promoting SRI Lanka beauty to world highly appreciated my friends best wishes from SRI Lanka
Amazing Johnny....👏🏽❤️
It's really awesome to see two elephant calf... Previously we hear lots of about this twins... But you showing us, really amazing... Thanks .... God bless both of You...

"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"

WOW Jonny no words to explain
superb work my dear brother. a great video.
Great video Johnny... for outdoor shots I recommend a Windsock
Another amazing place and cute elephant watch soooo awesome happy happy👍👍
Christina funny when she is happy and say animals 😃
And Johnny so cute when he sad i forgot to count the baby elephant 😃
Best TH-campers👍👍💜
Jhonny n Kristina. you both are doing a wonderful job . only suggestipn is to select the right back ground music with low volume.
This is magnificent, indeed large gatherings of wild elephants, Minneriya is famous for that. Thanks for the lovely video, glad you both enjoyed it.Good luck in your next adventure in Sri Lanka.
Amazing video. As Sri Lanka does not have natural lakes,this gathering of elephants is unique in the whole world. In Africa the elephants gather around natural lakes
Beautiful super amazing video congratulations from Nederland
We will see the most amazing and beautiful videos on your channel. Thanks for showing these things to the world. Another thing in particular is that the background music used for your videos is very beautiful and fits well. The feeling of looking at the background music is indescribable ....❤🐘🐃🐘🌴🌾🍌🍍🌊🛶🏝🏖

@2:5 you say "woww...." i was simply scared . They are WILD elephants.😥
However thankfully for the tourists sri lankan wild elephants (still) have lot of restraint though humans seem to take it for granted and keep pushing their limits..
Highest elephant population density on earth
Awesome video
Yala is famous for Leopards. Not for Elephants. :)
Amazing captures..🤗😍
My mother land we are proud
You and you're wife enjoying in srilanka beautiful country
Hey Johnny & Christine, will you two having the wedding here in SL :-P. Hey mate why don't you do a video on how you two guys met

Twin baby Elephants Bathiya and Bagya 🐘🐘🤳🙏🏻
Cute names! What do they mean?
@@JohnnyFD Bhagya (භාග්යය_is fotune or luck. භාතිය Bhathiya is one of the kings in Sri lankan history. I do not know the meaning. Those twins are boy and a girl.
Amassing
Awesome
One Nation
One Sri Lanka
Beautiful nature
And wildlife
Nice
Go to Wilpattu National park, you might be lucky enough to see Leopards, we saw 3 a couple of years ago.
Super duper 🥺♥️
Hey johny try to buy good camara so you can upload good quality videos😜 keep posting bro 👍
Have a nice journey
ලොකු ලොකු කැමරා නම් නෑ.නංගියි මායී ජොර්ක් ටිකක් කරනවා.හොදයි නම් අපිටත් ඉදිරියට යන්න සහයෝගයක් දෙන්න.අපිත් එක්ක දිගටම ඉන්න කියලා ආරාදනා කරනවා.
For our simple pleasure, we disturb these innocent pachyderms! We have already invaded most of their habitats. From British time on, how many wild elephants have been murdered! Thousands! Now we should respect them and leave them to live their on. Anyway, this is better than imprisoning them in cages in so called Zoos! Not only human rights, but animal rights too should be respected!
If it wasn't for the tourism money going to the entrance of these areas, they would no longer exist. Eco-tourism like this keeps these areas protected and the Elephants safe. It's 1,0000,000x better than having them in zoos or gone completely like in other countries.
@Md Pannawansa World belongs to every animal bro, including humans. Without the humans there won't be a reservoir here and thus the world's biggest elephant gathering as well. Every animal feels threatened when they see some other kind of animal. However if we don't harm them they will start to feel relaxed just like the way they live with other type of animals.
@@JohnnyFD Yes, the authorities have to invest a lot and much effort to keep the count of elephants growing. Every year, 100s (361 in 2019) of elephants are killed by human in Sri Lanka. Eco-tourism is a good compromise.
Yes jonny , theres survey had done and have found there are nearly 4000 elephant s in srilanka if im correct ..but in some parts of the country they are in away kept like prisoners , i have seen it in wasgamuwa,some reckless drivers are the biggest threat, who are running after money..
amazing❤️
Fantastic
Beautiful ❤
Nice safari 🌿❤️
Hi iam from minneriya
If smiling is the best medicine then your videos should be classified as wonder drugs!
ele'fun' facts..
Whoowww....
This is their area. Should we take over that too.
If it wasn't from the income from park entrance and tourists, these protected areas would not exist.
Wondering
Hey, can anybody tell me how to visit there ? Loved that island nation. Wishes from UK.
They were supposed to open up this month, but still no word. =(
