    It’s unbelievable that Jabu just...felled like 1/3 of a tree with two firm tugs. He is one of the most majestic, powerful, incredible specimens of his kind, with such a bright future thanks to the amazing work you’ve done and continue to do. I love seeing Jabu living his best life with you.

    I lived in Kenya for a year. One weekend we went to Mount Elgon where there are elephant caves (the size of huge airplane hangers with openings covered in dinosaur-sized moss and stunning waterfalls). On the winding mountain roads, we heard what sounded like bulldozers crashing through the forest below us. Turned off our car, got out and listened: It was elephants, just walking through the trees and knocking them over like toothpicks. (Imagine the sound of that one branch in this video cracking...then multiple that by 10 branches per second, as an entire herd moved past trees standing in their way!)

      @@christopherbellore3511 Yes--it was a volunteer medical missions trip after college, back when I thought I wanted to be a doctor! I have so many amazing stories (drew an 8-foot-long worm out of a man's swollen hip, amputated a toe with dental floss, etc.) and need to write a book one day, just to take people into that experience.
      We all took the now-controversial hydroxychloroquine to prevent malaria...prophylactically...with no side effects.
      I was the clinic's pharmacist and we Rx'd chloroquine all day long (as easy to get as aspirin) to cure malaria. Amazing miracle drug.
      I have to wonder about big pharma, which doesn't want such a cheap, time-tested, easy med to cancel plans for a billion-dollar Coronavirus vaccine/patent on expensive cure.

    Jabu is so smart and loving... I think he actually wanted to put the branch BACK ON THE TREE after he had his snack! 3:42 is his second try to bring the branch back to the tree! You can see a look of "Well, I really tried" at 4:19 on...esp at 4:32 where he looks straight at the camera like, "I really did try my best. *I think it's broken."*
    Maybe he didn't want to end up hurting the tree. He just wanted a little snack.

      I live and work in the Lower Zambezi National Park, we have elephants in and out of our safari camps daily. It's been amazing to observe them and realize how much calculation and planning they do in all their actions and movements. I actually watched Jabu here seemingly measure the length of the tree branch and find the balance point and work out his application of leverage from there. Amazing !

    If Jabu had more soft things (delicious soft things) to eat wouldn't his teeth last longer...what seeds might you plant that could provide such softer diet? How much would commercial sized bags of them cost...are they locally available (after the quarantine lifts of course), and how much $ would you need to secure a few bags of such? "Wild" sugar cane? Watermelons randomly planted around your local grassland? (to be hunted for kind'a like Easter Eggs)...just a few examples.
    Also I'm concerned about his tusks and their health.

      Frank, like horses it is actually important for them to eat roughage to to wear their teeth down. They are also adapted to eat a high roughage low nutrient diet. Jabu gets lots of extra veg and elephant pellets and supplements. We are not allowed to plant alien plants species in the wilderness area that is Jabu's home for fear of them becoming invasive. Jabu's tusks are in great shape. He would LOVE to hunt for watermelons in the bush. There is a wild melon that he also loves and he is pretty good at planting those himself as the seeds come out in his dung. I love your concern for the big guy. He is doing just great though.

    Powerful animals, really makes you appreciate how dangerous they can be.

      They are powerful and can be dangerous and should always be respected. Of course just like us they can be completely the opposite of dangerous too. Here Jabu has no thoughts except of how to break the branch into smaller pieces for consumption.

      @@livingwithelephantsfoundat5444 Of course, from what I've seen they all have very individual and often kind personalities. Glad preservation efforts are in place - elephants should be respected and protected.

    If he isn't careful, that big boy will break one of his tusks. His are so beautiful. It looks like his left tusk has been broken in the past.
