Big Bull Jabulani Visits New Elephant Orphan Phabeni
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2023
- Every day, while Phabeni has been in quarantine, Jabulani has come down to the bottom of the orphanage garden, to feed at the fence for a while. Phabeni has sensed this and puts his trunk out in the air, picking up the scent of Jabulani. Adine has brought fresh dung from Jabulani to Phabeni to smell and eat, to get the calf familiar to the elephants around him.
Old hay (known as teff) from Phabeni’s nursery has also been put into the homestead in each section for the elephants to smell and get used to the new calf’s scent too. The herd know that a baby is close by and have been smelling Phabeni from the homestead but this teff helps provide a stronger scent and ease those curious trunks next door.
This is a great small step in Phabeni’s development and gradual journey toward integrating into a new herd. It is wonderful to see that Jabulani is still the curious big brother bull we know him to be, and we can’t wait to watch him greet Phabeni closer up soon! Jabulani was also the first elephant in the herd to visit Khanyisa when she was new to the orphanage.
Phabeni has slowly been getting used to life outside his quarantine area and exploring the greater grounds of the orphanage. We are so proud of him as he continues to adapt to this big change in his life, and we are here for him every step of the way.
He is so small, 12 bottles a day proof to be a good medicine, i see he is getting fuller. And not that bloated .
I think he likes his little haven in the shade next to his water. Everyday a little step further, we know whats await him, a warm pool of trunks, mothers, sisters and big brothers. Nice to see kind hearted Jabulani there for support. Thank you for the update. ❤
He is gorgeous, and at times I see sadness over his immense loss show up in his eyes. He is soo fortunate to all of you, and is filling out and seems to be more curious about his new home and those in it. Thank you for all you do.
Jabulani has not forgotten his beginning. What a wise fellow he is. 💙 He will keep coming until Phabeni feels comfortable and safe enough to approach him. And then they will converse, even if only a few words. Jabu will comfort and reassure Phabeni as to his new life with the HERD.
Phabeni's temples are filling in. He looks so much better today, thanks to all caretakers.
Our cool uncle❤
I was going to say the same thing about his temples filing in.
I noticed th see that as well and was worried since he looked somewhat similarly to Fenya.
He looks remarkably better thank goodness as my heart couldn't handle a sad ending.
This place uses love as it's strongest tool to mend these wounded and beautiful Ellies
@@higgsb9128me too! those temple areas I never wanted to say that but yes I was worried. I wish we could get a update on his health, weight and how far behind he is, or if he's just trying to get over the shock and trauma he's been through. 😢😅❤

Thank you to Everyone at HERD who care for and love these magnificent animals. ❤
Jabu is the herd's official welcoming committee. He was so lovely like this with Khanyisa too. He knows what the babies have been through and he lets them know everything is going to be alright now.
😊❤❤❤❤
I have learned how fragile baby elephants are in the wild, let alone, when orphaned. Thank you for all you are doing for this little chap. He so deserves kindness, care and love.
You people are just so good. I think we probably don't realize exactly how hard you work.. but I imagine how you must feel after these beautiful animals are safe in your lovely herd... the pleasure you give us with these videos is tremendous. My thanks to you all.❤❤
It is really so lovely to hear your feedback, thank you. We are grateful to be able to share this journey with you, and to show the elephants’ lives in this way, especially with such a caring audience. 🐘💚
Aww I am sooo glad Jabulani comes to see Phabeni just like he did with Khanyisa. For me it means the little one will be accepted :D
Jabulani must go back to the herd and announce….’Yup, another baby!’🎉🎉🥳
😂🌍🌿🐘🍼💙🫒🇸🇸
😂❤😂
Phabeni’s weight and condition seem very much improved! I know he is still quite fragile and little, thank you for giving him these happy days! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how Aidine speaks to the elephants. I love to hear the sound of the baby elephants rumbling. Everytime I watch I learn something new.
He's still got a way to go but it's good to see Phabeni's temples are starting to fill out. For a little baby, he uses his trunk remarkably well & has already mastered ripping leaves off branches! He's a dear wee chap 🥰🙏❤️🐘
It is so easy to kill thousands with a bomb...so very difficult to rear a child...human n animal alike...hats off to the dedicated team...it shows us how important life is ...we must respect life utmost in all forms
Beautiful thank you so much for everything you do for the elephants 😊❤
Jabu is such a thoughtful Ellie he probably remembers his "débuts" at Herd and wants the little orphans feel welcomed and confortable first with Little Miss Sunshine and now with Phabeni who soon will wait for his big brother's visits Phabeni is gradually filling up even if he still has hollow cheeks He is very agile with his little trunk In the background we hear his dedicated carers working behind the scenes to create a pleasant and cozy environnement for him and his Human Matriarch showing him the ropes and giving him the tender moments he still needs Thanks for sharing with us
Hi Phabeni ❤ hi jabulani ❤ hi Adine 🌹 and all caring for these formidable animals. Hi khanisa ❤️. You will be jealous. But you stole my heart ❤️
Phabeni stole the rest of my heart too
LittlePhabeni is putting on weight so nicely wow!! He's till thin, but So much better than before!! It will be so good for him when he can join the herd properly.
Always fun to watch my baby boy growing stronger. That corner of the garden with the tarp and the little pool looks so nice in the warm sun. I would love to spend all day there sitting beside little Phabeni. One can dream! 😊
Can’t wait for him to meet the herd. Jabu is leading the welcome wagon just like he did for Khanyisa. What a beautiful and wise fellow. I love how they’re giving both sides time to acclimate to each others’ presence.
When☀Khanyisa first arrived I was more concerned with her injuries . She showed great strength in spirit and determination to survive . Phabeni worried me for a bit, physically he was in better shape, emotionally not so well . He seems to be settling in nicely, accepting help with feeding, and seeking both comfort and affection . 💕🐘
Thanks to all the carers. They are my heros!❤
Jabu, you are a true hero in the animal kingdom. You support and love the babies who need help. A guard at the kingdom. You are a beautiful soul. ❤❤
I think he knew exactly what Adine was saying to him at the fence. What an amazing heart Jabulani has.
He is truly majestic. ❤️
Thank you so much for this wonderful update! I think about Phabeni everyday and I'm so grateful for HERD ❤
Thanks so much HERD for helping Phabeni get used to his new beautiful family. Jabulani and the rest of the ellies will be so happy when he will be reintegrated into their herd. He still does not know that he found the most wonderful human and ellie family in the world, hopefully soon, Phabeni will be joining them like Khanyisa did a while ago, he will be the little prince within the herd!!!🥰🍀🙏🏻🐘🌟💝
I love the brrrrrrrrrrrr sound the eles make. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
So warm and there sounds like a great rumbling to have 😊
À great rumbling and a wonderful joy thanks 😅
Love how you call jabu little son. He is massive but he is still your little son.
I see Phabeni's Carer busy working away in the background. It takes so much work to keep Phabeni healthy, keep his quarters clean & safe, give him the love & affection & time he needs.
Thank you to everyone, especially his carers, for you caring & diligence. 💖💖💖
Look at the magnificence of Jabu, such wisdom and grace, those Rumbles are a beautiful sound, Phabeni has such a cute stance with his right leg outstretched, i cnt wait for this baby to meet his Family, thank you Adine for this lesson in intergrating this much loved Beautiful Baby. We love Jabu and Phabeni, not forgetting Lammie
(Got hankies at the ready) 💙🩵💙
Elephant rumbles are angelic choirs to my ears.
💙🐘🫒🐘🇸🇸🌍🌿✨️
@@mortalclown3812absolutely love those rumblings. Precious everyone, give such joy.😂
Hello from the United States i love all these elephants!
Y'all do such great work with these little creatures of God. Can't wait till Phabeni meets the other ellie.
Thank you for sharing your hard efforts with us.
world of difference between him & Khanyisa !! 🐘🐘😊
Yes! So excited.... I remember when he was Khanyisa's first meeting of the herd, too.
Jabulani absolutely knew what you were saying to him! 😊
What an amazing legacy he brings to Hoedspruit lore.
Heart full. ❤️
Lastly, I've already got a book's worth of screen shots of Phabeni.
OmG. A movie should be made of Baby K's life & the original video of she & the herd's 1st gathering together. What a tear- jerking block buster that would be!
Beautiful just beautiful my husband and I just love these incredible elephants thank you so much for what you do for them ❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤ much love from Indiana USA 🇺🇸
When you said “new baby “ Jabu knew what you were talking about! Can’t wait for the meeting after watching Khanyisa go through this I am looking forward to it know a little more . Thank you for all your hard work
Wow Phabeni is looking so healthy with a strong little trunk and Jabulani has not forgotten where he came from. What an amazing elephant!!!!
I love to watch you guys work your magic with these wonderful elephants ❤ I love your family ❤ thank you for all you do for the herd 🐘🐘🐘
He loves his swimming pool 😀❤
It’s amazing how well he has adjusted. The healing knowledge the Herd team has is truly a blessing to these beautiful animals. Thank you for the video. Watching from Ft. Myers, Florida 🇺🇸💕💗❤️🌺💋
Jabalani is a wise old Ellie, all the orphans in the Herd are very very lucky, they have Adina and the carer's then a Ellie family ♥️🐘🐘🐘🐘
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you wonderful people at HERD. You make this trouble world a better place due to your love and kindness. Thank you!
Yes they do!! ❤ Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! @susancrawford2343
@@K-D76 Thank you! Have a wonderful holiday season 😀
Little Phabeni grows so well. One day he will be a handsome bull.
Phabeni is looking so well! The hollows in his cheeks and forehead have filled in somewhat making him cuter than ever! Thank you!❤❤❤❤❤
I am looking forward to seeing the herds reaction when they first meet him. That will be something special to see.
This was exciting to see the elephants so close. I excited to see when they are so close within a few feet of each other. That's always epic. Jabulani is the most thoughtful elephant in his caring for the orphans to introduce himself as soon as he can. My favorite video is of Khanyisa and Jabulani at the tall grasses and fence.Khanyisa is now really getting so big and looks so healthy. Always in my heart Little Miss 🌞!!!

He is so precious. Little Fab is what I call him.
The dung and straw policy sounds very skilful 👍 can't wait to see Phabeni and the herd meet… all in g♥♥d time…
A whole lotta love, care & attention sure makes a difference in a little Elephants life. He’s looking better, not quite 100 percent, but definitely on his way. He’ll get there. When he is strong enough, 16 Elephants are waiting to welcome him into his new forever family. ❤
I want you to know that I'm going through some scary stuff in my life, and being able to visit your wonderful elephant family is helping me preserve my sanity. For a few minutes every day I get to feel hope for this world, and escape the reality of my life. As soon as I can swing it I'll be buying more bottles for this latest family member❤ Thank you so much for sharing what you do and please thank the elephants for me too❤🐘
So sad to hear you're going through a difficult period in your life. Sincerely hope things improve soon. !n the meantime, your comment re-enforces the majesty of animals; the ability to comfort us in the most difficult of times. Soulful.

@@midnite325 Thank you. And yes, I completely agree 💕
Commons sense works every time_ Its fun seeing it in action especially when it can often make a complex thing end up being the best/easiest & fastest way 2 solve it 4 example - sharing some of Baby Beni's hay w/the herd is such a brilliant idea that makes perfect sense .... Surely it'll cut down on time & so many things so by the time Phabeni meet's them individually they'll already know him collectively. HERD carers are so full of luv & compassion we can see the effect of Baby Beni being happier & healthier by the day - he's adjusted so well & so quickly it looks like HERD was always Phabeni's home : )
Our little boy, Phabeni, looks gorgeous. I am so happy to see the wounds on his back seem to be healing nicely. It always made me cry at the beginnig to see those wounds. He seems to be getting a little feisty and certainly has a mind of his own when it comes to what he wants and doesn't want. Thanks to everyone at the Herd for taking such good care of him. I get to sit here and watch him grow while all of you do the hard work. It is much appreciated. Love to all of you.
I knew it would be Jabu because he was the first to visit the pretty pink Princess and he visited with her every day.❤🐘🐘
I've been going back to see those videos all over again, too.
✨️🐘🫒🍼💙🌿🌍🇸🇸
Phabeni is a quiet little soul. He seems adjusted to his little garden world and his stall. I wonder what he is feeling because he shows no sign of trauma. Perhaps forming relationships with the other elephants will open his heart more. ❤
Bravo to HERD! You have designed such a perfect and safe nursery for a dislocated baby. I hope the baby rhinos are doing as well. ❤
HE SEEMS MUCH MORE RELAXED.
Awww Phabeni looks like he has put on a few pounds since last week.
Slow and steady wins the race baby boy.❤💕
¡Qué bien se alimenta solito, Phabeni!
Me gusta observar el paso a paso de la progresiva presentación de Phabeni al resto de la manada y lo bien que ustedes hacen las cosas. ❤
Your correct, such a adorable lil Baba, hankies at the ready
A que si !
Just as he did with Khanyisa, Jabu checks on Phabeni. This Gentle Giant remembers his difficult early days. Who better than Jabu to visit Phabeni who, incidentally, is looking better day by day. Early days still but this little Bull has the Best care from his human family and as I'm sure Jabu is telling him, he has a loving Elephant family awaiting him. Thank you all!! 💙🐘🐘💙🙏🙏
Jabulani and Phabeni teach us so much. Thank you for showing us the most important things in life for both us and wildlife are love, curiosity, acceptance and kindness. Watching you all fills us with overwhelming love❤️
That was well said... Beautiful ❤️
Jabulani is the orphan welcoming wagon! I was thrilled to see this.
Jabulanie is soooo Beautiful sweet to come see phabini ❤❤
Adine i love you talking to the Elephants soothing for them Sound energy vibration very special
Thank you so much Adine This was lovely to see .
Very interesting about phabini tasting the dung of Jabulanie and letting all the Elephants smell taste Phabinie dung
Love you all at Jabulanie Herd Elephant ❤❤❤🌎🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

The little one is looking much better now.
It's such a relief, too. I know he's not out of the woods, but he's responding so much better now.
🐘✨️🍼💙🫒🌿🇸🇸🌍
Wonderful updates, his progress is smashing to see. Jabulani too already starting the process, of intergration, step by step. Wise boy, terrific job Nadine & wonderful Team thank you! 👏🫶⭐️💙🎉🌲
Sweet baby boy! Even Jabu is still a sweet big baby boy!
I love the Birds singing lovely ❤
Looking forward to seeing Phabeni enter his role of youngest…so interested to see Khanisa’s relationship with him, as he pesters her to play🤣🤣. Timisa will have more opportunities to be a big sister! Jabulani herd is like any other family, evolving! Thanks to HERD!❤️👏👏👏
I have been eagerly waiting for this! Everyday checking whether Jabulani has started visiting, my heart is full 🥰🐘❤️
Phabeni needs to drink more milk and I cannot wait for him to meet the other elephants. 😢😢Hope he survives ❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
I'm surprised the ladies haven't shown up to take the baby!!🐘🐘
He is so much better than when he first came.xx
G’day Herd,
Even the birds are out.
Can I ask, does it make a difference feeding dung from a male adult to a male calf rather than a female adult to a male calf?
It must be fantastic when you see that the orphans know and recognise that they are safe with you all. Thankyou all so much for sharing.
🤟☮️🇦🇺😎👍 Joel
The gender doesn’t make a difference, any dung will provide the bacteria needed 💚💚
I have a question. Will it be different integrating him with the other elephants since he's a boy?
As he grows to maturity will he leave to find his own group of females, or however that works with elephants.
Beautiful. Just beautiful how Jubuoani is! Knowing there is a baby standing at the fence like a proud father/ grandfather
He's so intelligent!
I've been excitedly waiting for the new introduction
He has settled in really well and is growing up quickly. ❤❤❤😅😅
Guys, you all are amazing and the Elephant are beautiful ❤
I love Jabulani!! I think he was he first elephant to visit Khanyisa.
I bet, Jabu already knows, that Phabeni is a little boy... His trunk will have told him. What else did his trunk tell him... 🥰
I'm so excited for Phabeni to meet the herd! He looks great thanks to all the amazing care he's getting from HERD!
Beautiful! I can't wait until he meets the herd. 😁♥
January tells the herd “soon we will have another baby with us to raise!”
Precious Phabeni ❤
Khanyisa e Phabeni vão se dar muito bem e serão grandes amigos, quero ver los juntos. ❤🐘🐘❤
Phabeni has the cutest little face. I can't wait to see him meeting them at the fence❤
He is much calmer, not butting everyone and chasing people away. Time heals all
I send my love to my beautiful African elephants friends,God bless them everyday.❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌏
❤ Phabeni and Jabu ❤ So precious to see and hear about their introductions and interactions at this stage ❤ As always love learning about the herd!!!! ❤ Phabeni has definitely captured my heart 🎉
Phabeni seems to a getting bigger
Phabeni is a proud little bull. So cute, and such personality!
I love watching him explore his environment. May he continue to improve and advance. Good work, HERD staff. ❤️
Good morning Herd family. Greetings from the Caribbean. Best wishes 🌞 🫶🏼 ✌🏼
💙💙phabeni looking good
Good job Phabeni. Eating from the tree greens and drinking the water.
Adine you’re a “all true girl”. Picking up the dung with painted finger nails.
Praying the love from all herd will ensure success❤
What a beautiful sight he his!
Phabeni is so cute his getting stronger thank you for helping him until next time love you little guy 😊😅🎉😂❤
A wonderful way to start the morning! Phabeni looks so much better! And so sweet to see Jabu coming close to make Phabeni feel safe and welcome. What darlings they both are!❤ Thank you Adine for sharing some translations. Now I know what you've been saying to the HERD at times.😊
It is so relaxing to see him enjoying of his own shelter-waterplace in the first minutes..his own water bubble😇...our dear shelter ellie🤎
Phabene is growing so fast. Can't wait to him join the Herd.❤
If I remember, It was Jabu to meet Khanyisa 1st..Looking forward to Jabu and Phaby meeting!
There is a great video of their meeting 😊🐘🐘💙
Phabeni's condition continues to improve. Jabulani spotted him, can't wait for them to meet. 😊
Buon pomeriggio dal Italia a tutti ❤ Ciao Phabeni mi sembra che tu sei diventato più alto 🐘🤗 hai visto hai visite Jabu è venuto x te a vedere come stai 😊 vi mando un abbraccio affettuoso a tutti e due e anche alla vostra mamma umana Adine e a tutti i curatori che vi vogliono bene ❤❤❤❤❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Baby steps 🐘 ❤.
The Carers are so amazing. It's horrible to even contemplate that the rescue herd may not even exist without such courage and care from HERD. G.d Bless you and Dr Adine and her mother, of blessed memory.
🙏🙏🙏 beautiful boy!
Baby boy - good morning ❤
Your love and support has been amazing for this little baby, Phabeni!!! He is a love and will get stronger and more confident each day bc of everything everyone does there!
What a beautiful and sweet boy! Thank you for taking such good care of him and the herd, Adine! Much love from the US! 💝
Won’t it be a wonderful day when he is surrounded by the love, support and compassion of his new herd.
