Elephant Swim time - Khanyisa goes in the deep end and Bubi is not in a good mood!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2020
- Adine joined the herd as they were walking towards the dam for a welcomed swim during the heat of the day.
Mambo and Setombe picked up a scent on one of the trees, possible from the wild elephants.
Bubi was not in a good mood at all and not entirely happy with Adine being there, and it expressed clearly! Bubi does not seem to trust females very much, though we do not know why, possibly from her earlier start in life. She can be being protective over Khanyisa too. It is difficult to say 100%. But she carried on for quite a while! She does have her moments. Many notice that she does not seem to spend time with the other cows of the herd either, keeping to herself a lot. She is quite a complex elephant, but with a heart of gold!
In the meantime, Khanyisa was being whisked away with Lundi, Tokwe, Limpopo, and Kumbura into the deeper part of the dam for a proper swim. They didn't stay too long before returning to shallower waters, and a little pink trunk following in tow, often holding on to Kumbura and Limpopo's trunks! It was just too sweet.
Soon they moseyed out of the dam, and returned to the bush while some of the other elephants stayed on for a longer swim, including Timisa and Bubi, still in her mood!

Sebakwe seemed to place himself on purpose between Bubi and Adine. Kumbura is an amazing adoptive mom. Watching her and Limpopo swim with Khanyisa just melted my heart.
Canadian Gemini I thought the same about Sebakwe. I’ve also seen Somopane intervene on several occasions when Bubi was upset.
@@gabe-po9yi Oh I just became a follower so I haven't seen all the video's yet, but I'm glad 👍others thought so too.
@@canadiangemini3335 I have seen that before too. Canadian Gemini Iam from vancouver island. Welcome
I am late to the party Bubi was giving attitude, then Sebakwe gave to warning to Bubi. Yes! ❤😅
Poor Bubi, she's obviously endured some major trauma in her life. Sadly, we will never fully understand what she has been through.
I realized Khanisya has more Mom's them we probably know. When she went into the deep end, I found myself getting stressed. 😁 I wonder if all of you realize how much of the world your team and these elephants have touched. Thank you for sharing. ❣️
Everytime she swims and I can only see her pink trunk/snorkel, I worry, can she paddle her little legs enough? can she float? is she ok? a mums woworry never ends, and I think while she has a lot of Ellie-mums, a lot of human mums have her back too xx
@@bealong8718 there are plenty of carers to rescue her
Yes. I was shitting myself too, she’s tiny.

@@ummukulsuummu7817 what?
Interesting to know they have emotions like mood swings and needing time out from the herd. !.
So sensitive .
And my dear Khanyisa , really having a ball with the ladies !! Girl s day in the waters!!! 💕
They absolutely do!
It appears Sebakwe was stepping in here as a safeguard (just in case the situation got out of hand). Such wisdom here. Obviously wants to protect all the family herd (including humans).
I thought the same thing.
"I don't know what's going on here, but I'm breaking it up."
I have only just started to follow your channel and meet all these elephants. I am trying to learn who's who, but it seems that elephants all have their own personalities just like us! I love them and thank you for giving me the chance to learn all about them as they naturally are. Wonderful, wonderful creatures that we as humans should learn from as well!
Love Mambo! He is such a character! I love the story about him being brought back from his 3-day adventure and Lundi pummeling him with her trunk!😂. That tiny, pale little Khanyisa trunk hanging on to the other elephants: so cute! Poor Bubi:; I wish she could tell us what’s wrong.
Me too, Bubi clearly had something to tell.
@@Aurinkohirvi Yes, Bubi has issues. I certainly hope Adine has patience for this. In 'Meet Bubi' you already sense her conflict. If her Mother was ... well, you know, by people... she may not ever accept people, but certainly, EVERY ELEPHANT is a gift.
She wants her bikini
She drew a line in the water and dared you to cross it. 😉
can you link the vid of that pummeling ;-)
Keeper: "Go Bubi, go swim."
Bubi: "YOU go swim."
Poor Bubi, she still is my favorite elle, I have bad moods too Bubi, you're not alone!!! You're still loved
I feel the same way about Bubi. We all have bad moods and we know Bubi had major trauma growing up . All the elephant's have a story just like us humans.
Absolutely!
I wonder if Sebakwe was being protective of you by stepping between you and Bubi. Just a thought. They know better than us.
it is definitely a possibility of his intention to walk past!
I wondered that also.
You know it looks that way! He gives that little trunk swing too like "hey what's up" and not only walks by, but backs up couple of steps. I really don't think Bubi was angry (just moody) or the situation dangerous, I don't read it serious. But it's like he is telling "chill out, Bubi." An interesting case!
@@herdelephantorphanage You could see his intent as he makes his way up towards you and definitely stood still there responding to you tones of anxiousness to try and assert authority over Bubi, . I wonder if you could have sung a song just for Bubi if it could have soothed her?. What could we sing to her: " Bu-bi, ma bell', these are words that go together well, Bubbilein bell'. " Or " If you knew Bubi like I know Bubi. Oh. Oh. Oh what a gal." Or something modern but with an old fashioned tune.
@@herdelephantorphanage I am amazed that some of the people on this thread think the elephants need a hug , or its cute , and shes upset and wharever. Good grief people these are African elephants showing the people they need to back off.
I was like an anxious mother watching Khanyisa swim in the deep end! She must have felt like "I am a big girl now!"
I thought Bibi was going to be mean to everyone.
That subtitle claims Sebakwe was "just passing by". Didn't look like it to me. It looked like he was taking care of his entire herd, elephants and humans. He stopped for a moment to make a point
I thought so too. Especially the way he even took a step back and stood still fir a moment. He was watching from the left before he walked over. Seemed to help Bubi calm down for just a bit.
I agree. That definitely looked to me like a "Everything okay here? Bubi, stop scaring the humans" moment. He put himself between them, paused, and then backed up to block Bubi's view. The message I got from that was he was warning Bubi to behave.
@@annehaight9963 Such a delight to able to watch them like this. I appreciate that HERD gives us the opportunity to watch and comment. I bet we make them laugh sometimes.
I had the exact same feeling! Sebakwe really looked like he was checking things out as he could sense how annoyed Bubi was.they are precious and amazing animals!😘🐘❤
100% agree. Seb taking care of Bubi and Andine and keeping watch over Khanyisa and the ladies in the deep water.
Bubi is like: "Ok humans. I know you like us and take care of us and all. We appreciate it. But give us some privacy sometimes will ya?" 😜😁
Yes
Bubi was having a 2020 day.
I’m sure she tries to keep everyone in check but she is still such a beautiful girl.
Watching Khanyisa swim - I’m a bit nervous always looking for her small pink trunk!
Pink trunk someone called it khanyisa snorkel lolll
Hello ellies...
Sebakwe almost seemed to come along to help diffuse any hostilities...
Perhaps I am wrong...
Our little pink lady growing in confidence daily...wonderful to see...
🇿🇦
that was my thought as well ...he walked between them and paused . curious how the others seemed calm and non responsive ...though a bit intense for Timisa 🐘
I thought exactly the same thing.
I thought so too. He moved into position between Bubi and Adine and stayed there for a few moments until he felt it was okay to move on. He saw what Bubi was doing. Lol! I adore Bubi though, she feels things deeply. If I am not mistaken she was the main instigator of that wonderful greeting to Khanyisa a while back.
smart elephants. One gets their trunk in a twist and the others are like ok back off, calm down. Not at all worth it.
You have to trust that the elephants know what they are doing, but I was constantly watching for that little pink trunk. Also, very relieved when they brought her out to shallower water. Silly, aren't I?
I have such a soft spot for Bubi. It’s amazing how upset I feel (knot in the pit of my stomach) seeing her discomfort. She is so loving and gentle with Khanyisa it just seems out of character to me. HERD any insight into what may be bothering her?
Maybe Bubi was upset because she wasn't involved with Khanyisa and her swim for some reason.
Poor sweet Bubi 💕. Who knows what past memories haunt her. Stories she'll never be able to tell.
I have been wondering about Bubi lately.
She seemed to be distant from the herd in many of the videos since she attacked ( maybe not best word) Timisa. I wondered about how she's been and it is quite sad for me too see her not mingling with the girls and she really seemed to love you Adine. ! Poor Bubi really must have been devastated from early development to have these moods. Do we know anything about her upbringing. ! I hope she one day can overcome her worries and distrust. I found her really taken by Khanyisa. And with Lundi at the beginning ; now she stays away. Like I said prayers for big Bubi. She has a lot to offer the herd!!😞🙏💞💖💖
I honestly feel like Bubi gets mad that she wasn’t “chosen” to be khanisa’s nanny. I remember she use to try to coax her from Lundi in the beginning. Even Tokwe did too. The 3 dominant older females ALL WANTED TO BE THE MAIN NANNY. I’m telling you Bubi is mad that Khanisa is not her baby. She is starting to resent the other females as well and this is not good. I feel like she takes her frustrations out on Adine because she thinks Adine takes her baby away at night to the nursery.
@@tiffturg good observation Tiff .That could be why she's changed and yes I remember all that too. Hugs👍😊💞
@@tiffturg ok well clearly we need to get her a baby.
I have been feeling this same way since Khanyisa first joined the herd!! She seemed to really want Khanyisa to herself, which to me was why she pushed Timisa away, too. Bubi is certainly very affectionate with the baby, and always puts her front leg out when she is near. Although Lundi is always there when Khanyisa needs her to be. They appear to be well suited for each other---both having independent natures.
@@maryharris2330 ❤👍😊❤
The head shake and the trunk on the tusk of Bubi showing her displeasure.
Sebakwe was not just "passing by" she was intervening Bubi's hostilities.
Well, we all can’t be in a good mood every day😡💜
Certainly not! 😂
I think sebabwe picked it up and stood in front of adine
Yep, Sebabwe looked like he did that on purpose putting himself (I think that is a male?) in front of Bubi and Adine to protect her and to tell Bubi "Chill out you are not going to hurt Adline" Those elephants truly love their humans even if Bubi was acting up for some reason we may never know.
Exactly! That's what I thought. Any time u take in an rescued animal, they seem 2 always have that little "issue" that w/💘 time & patience they will get over!
I loved the "floating 🐘 island" they all made 2 keep Khyanisa afloat✌💗
Wow i saw it too 5:22
Total agreement here; that's how I saw it also. Can anyone provide a little back story narrative on individuals such as Bubi? I found this site a few months ago. I try to watch as much as possible with my 3 & 4-yr old grandsons but we wonder about the former lives of the rescued elephants. At any rate, the boys look forward to elephant time every day & thanks to ALL at HERD!
@@judystuard2002 Awww her Mom was Poached. She's momma to Zindogo. Here, this is her intro video. Read the description as it's sad but makes you appreciate HERD & Aldine & All so much more for what they've accomplished💖🐘💞
th-cam.com/video/hgI_gHcfwEY/w-d-xo.html
Looks like another beautiful day for everyone. Can hear the breeze.
As many who wrote before me I am wondering if Sebakwe was doing the elephant version of "Cut it out Bubi". At one point I couldn't see Khanyisa anymore and was getting worried. Beautiful video as always. Thank you
This is one of my favorite videos. I love how Bubi displays her displeasure and concern that the baby is going into the deep end. She won’t quit!
Whew! Amazing seems like an overused word but not here- These magnificent creatures supervising, guiding, and protecting their 'adoptive baby is so AMAZING and touching!
Thank you Riley! Special moments with a special herd!
I know everyone has a theory here re Bubi, but I wanted to share that since her mother was taken by a poacher, and she was a wild elephant, she may mistrust humans at important times.
Perhaps the group had rifles that day and she smelled them, or perhaps she smelled lions - humans can be smelly and noisy snacks that attract predators. She may have been saying it's time to get the people out of here, Adine. Maybe one day, when Khanyisa does't need as much milk, Bubi will start chasing people off. I don't think that would be ornery or hormonal or whatever people are opining: I think that would show intelligence and survival skills by a young female who may one day lead the herd.
This is amazing. They clearly want to be left alone when they take Khanyisa for a deep swim. They are teaching her very well
It’s so nice to hear all the organic sounds of elephants walking on the soil. The way they protect Khanyisa in the heard instinctively putting her in the middle, is nature at its best.
Awe, I feel so sad that Bubi was so upset. Something was definitely wrong. She was not liking anything. I hope she feels better soon. Little K is getting so brave, she looks so adorable swimming, The way they took care of her was so touching. Love from the USA.
I don't think Sebakwe was just passing by. I think he sized up the situation with Bubi and got in between the situation. I might be wrong. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I agree with you.
Yes
Hehe. Naughty Bubi has learned a new way to “play” with her humans. Little pink K deep in the water having a great time. Amazing they are such great natural swimmers.
I think elephants love to swim for many reasons. It cools them off and it probably feels good in the deep water where they're buoyant, taking stress of their joints. They're big, heavy animals that walk many miles everyday. Getting all that weight off of tired feet, back, and joints must feel good! Swimming is one activity in which they can relax and just have fun! I love sightings like this!
I think Bubi needs a hug, she's upset about something. It's hard to come out of a bad mood when someone, Ellie or human, seem upset with you...just saying 🥴🥰
yes she was not happy with Adine being there - she is the only elephant that sometimes shows her displeasure - but she does that with all females it is strange... we don't know why!
@@herdelephantorphanage Perhaps, Bubi needs to have a new calf.
@@herdelephantorphanage could be she needs her own Baby. But for now, maybe a few apples or special treats might help ingratiate her to Adine. Who am I to suggest what to do for your Ellie kids, it's just a thought. Thanks.🥰
I wonder if Bubi was upset that Khanyisa was in deep water?
@@palmaleestephens1906 good point. I know I was a little concerned because she's so little. But her protectors kept her safe 🥰
Seems like she was left out of the swim by the others. She even seems to get cut off by another elephant on the walk to the dam and is frustrated.
I saw the video pop up on my screen and was so exicited to view it. I am becoming so virtually attached to baby elephant Khanyisa but also all the other elephants in the herd. Thank you Adine for you and your team's dedication to these wonderful creatures. I have been to Africa many times and have been on numerous safaris as well. Elephants remain my favourites.
Bubi hang in there honey
I know exactly how you feel
Some days...
Sebakwe protected his human. 👏
Arent they just the most beautiful regal animals to see. You all are blessed to have them in your lives
(Debra) Oh Bubi, you were just worried about little Khanyisa and mad they took her to the deep end huh...she's okay now. We all love your kindness and being a mum to little Khanyisa.
Wow, Bubi was not having a good day. 🙁 I love how Sunshine is so brave in going into deep waters but of course she’s well protected. Her hanging on to Kumbura and Limpopo was too cute! I just love her! Best part of my day is watching your videos. Appreciate what you guys do on a daily basis. Thank you. ☺️
So true!
All these elephants mean so much to all of us who have been captivated and have been watching!
I held my breath too when baby K goes in, just like when I watched my own when they were little near water!
Of course we love Bubi. Everybody gets in a bad mood sometimes. Just shows you that she's sensitive.
cute bubi even she was tantrum attacked.. khanyisa my little sunshine 😍😘 herd ❤️
:-)
I don't believe for a second that Bubi would intentionally hurt Adine. Adine happened to be the one standing there. No one knows these ellies better than Adine and the team. Bubi was having a bad moment and Sebakwe stepped in to calm the situation, that's what he does. He probably knows Bubi better than anyone and why she was in a mood. Bubi is a great ellie and has my utmost respect.. And...that's all I have to say about that.
Love to all the beautiful herd and a great team.
I love all of this. She definitely was “baring” her teeth/tusks, flapping ears, slapping trunk. Simbakwe definitely put himself between you and her, backed up and stayed until she turned. She was giving you side eye.
She was really in a bad mood, but I think we can all have those days, yet I do believe sebakwe was blocking her from doing anything she would regret! It’s hard to see Khanyisa in the deep end!
Am I the only one who feels the overwhelming desire to put lotion on the elephant skin?
Bubi: Grrr!
Sebakwe: Hey, be cool (walks past)
Bubi: No :( I don’t want to be cool, I’m upset!
Sebakwe: (stops, steps back, stands) I said, be cool.
Bubi: ...hmph! Fine..
Made me a little nervous seeing Bubi staring at Adine and Princess K in the deep water. Seems all turned out well. 🇺🇸
Bubi says I’m watching you😊
Pink baby Sunshine coming out of the dam. 💓💕💞 🐘 she’s so sweet. I get a bit anxious every time she goes swimming. That little body floating adrift and the pink trunk up in the air. Omg, I keep saying to myself “it’s going to be fine, they know what they’re doing” ...
I like to think that Sebakwe is the father of the Herd’s new generation: Limpopo, Klasserie, Pisa, Mambo and Zindoga. Is it possible that they’re all Sebakwe’s offsprings?
Bubi needs cuddles to be in a better mood. Maybe? 😂🐘❤️ A little love won’t hurt ...
But seriously, you’ll never know what made her so upset. It’s clear she had a rough start in her life. Ellies are very sensitive.
i love your videos i couldn’t imagine working with these beautiful giants everyday it would be a dream of mine ❤️ i love watching the herd thank you for posting ☺️☺️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
❤ thanks for sharing
just released my stress
Herd love ❤️ I got a little scared in the end when i didn't se Khanyisa ❤️ 🐘 🙏
I can't stress enough how much I love those cute elephant bums.
Bubi was trying to speak to Adine. She had something important to say. Seemed like she tried telepathic connection - it's not so weird, who hasn't tried to explain something with a stare. Frustrated she can't get her message through. You need the animal whisperer. - Edit: it was very interesting though! Very nice you got that recorded.
The buoyancy of being in water must be such a relief to such heavy animals.
Just beautiful to watch x
Bubi just wanted to be left alone? We all have our moods,huh? 🤪
Oh Bubi you tinker! Love that Sebakwe stepped in to protect Adine & warn Bubi off!!!!! Great vid❤️🇬🇧🏴
Oh Bubi. We all have days like that. Love you anyway grumpy girl. 💜💜💜
I love them all but baby elephants get me every time. ❤
I love elephants so much ❤️❤️❤️
It appeared as if Sebakwe was protecting Adine. When Bubi is out of sorts she really is out of sorts.
i wish i knew what Bubi was thinking here, i love you my HERD these folks are angels who try to make you all happy♥♥♥thank you for everything, im so proud of khanyisa what a great little swimmer she was as a baby
Quick question: Hope does Khanyisa know how to swim in the deep end? Just curious as she’s still a baby. Would Lundi help her if she needed it?
Love watching your videos of these precious majestic giants!
🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘
All the elephants seem to take responsibility for looking after the young ones. I am sure any of the elephants would help Khanyisa & let her grab on if there was an issue in the water but she can use her trunk as a snorkel even when the rest of her goes under.
Ohhhh Bubi! Now seeing this video for the first time I see how disturbed she was over the baby being in the deep end of the water. She couldn’t enjoy herself until Khanyisa was safely on terra firma.
I would not be happy either if one of my mates pissed and took a dump in my drinking/bathwater.
😂😂
He narrowly missed the water. 😁
No need to get crude!!!
Nobody knows why Bubi is in bad mood, me neither. Think about this, maybe her trauma stems from an incident for Bubi when she was near water?
lol she's like can't you take a hint? 😂 your a brave soul Ms. Adine. I do appreciate how much you are loved by your human herd they are constantly keeping you safe, as well as the other elephant
I love all of them 😘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘....♥🍀🙏😍
I got a little worried with Bubi’s displays. I hope she is going to mellow out. I have come to care for all the Ellie herd.
Very interesting seeing Bubi like that. I too have noticed that she seems to be a loner sometimes, except when it comes to being around Khanyisa! Wish I knew what Bubi is thinking of all the time. I love that Kumbura and Limpopo are so protective of Khanyisa too and that Khanyisa trusts them so very much. It is such a joy watching this little pink baby every day.
I wonder if Bubi is somehow jealous of the others going off with Khanyisa and she has been somehow excluded. Maybe she is having an hormonal surge? Maybe she is frustrated.
Every time the elephants leave the water they think: Oh shit, this darned gravity.
Thank you Adine for the apportunity to see everyday the Jabulani Heard's life. Especially thanks for your comments which allows us to understand better behavior and feelings of those amazing, smart and beautiful creatures. Thanks a lot!
Their back view is funny
I do love how they all stick together especially around Khanyisa, making sure she is safe!
Wow!!! Best part of my day! Love how you compassionately share their stories and don’t expect them to be anything except what they are! ❤️❤️❤️
Sebakwe looked to be protecting U today adine
It seems as if Sebakwe is positioning himself between and being protective of his humsn family.
❤️
This just made my day!
Interesting! I was wondering how you could tell that she was unhappy. The head shake tells it all? There seemed to be a little foot stomping too didn't there? At that point do you just stay calm and stand your ground? I'm thinking of Adine in that situation. I'm ALWAYS going to be fascinated by how you can read the elephants and their different personalities.
I love that little pink elephant!! ❤❤
Ah Bubi, we older gals have our moments, brave Kahnisa hitting the deep end. Good work care team some days your charges don't make it easy.
Nossa eles sãos muitos lindos demais eu acho lindo 😍 quando eles balanças as orelhas grandes 😁😁😍😍🐘🐘🇧🇷🇧🇷🌱🌿🌴🌳🌲❤️❤️
Beautiful place.....beautiful animals!
Scary! Must have been hard watching her take her swim, big girl style!
Sebakwe deliberately came over walked between Bubi and Adine backed up and positioned himself between the two until Bubi backed off.
This is the first time in my life that I saw a female pitch a tantrum like that. I've always viewed the boys acting like that. I found it to be very expressive while keeping safe distance for her and humans. It was so interesting to see all of the different things that she was doing to express herself. No offense to some, but, because I see her as always being such a sweetheart, seeing her getting all fired up like that was kind of adorable! It gave me a little giggle. I cant help it! She was kicking the hind leg, rocking forward and back, shaking it up. No matter what Bubi is doing, she still able to pull of adorable in my opinion. I loved watching the baby swim out deep. It had my heart racing for a few seconds though.
The buffalo seem very co-operative about moving along when the elephants want to use the pool.
Mambo was so expressive!
African Elephant Herds
Walking & Water Enjoying
Bubi is a perfect example of an elephant. 🐘🐘🐘
I think Bubi is telling you to back off. Give bubi some space.
I love the way Khanyisa rests her trunk on Limpopo or Kumbura, she is confident, she trusts her sisters ! Wonderful to see ! And I think Sebakwe came to protect you from Bubi !!
Magnificent creatures ❤
