Khanyisa's morning with the Jabulani HERD
ฝัง

- Khanyisa is getting so much attention from the Jabulani herd, especially the females!
She enjoyed a morning in the land surrounding the stables with the whole herd once again, and some of the younger elephants were a bit more settled. Still, there is a massive curiosity between them about this new and exciting addition to the herd.
The males (including Mambo, Lundi's son) tend to keep to themselves and are not showing much interest, except for Jabulani, Sebakwe and Fishan (the older males).
Tokwe (the Matriarch) and Limpopo spent a lot more time with Khanyisa. Limpopo, in particular, has become extremely taken with Khanyisa, wanting to be by her side at every possible minute, it is adorable, but sometimes a bit overwhelming for little Khanyisa, who often tends to try move away, searching for Lundi.
Limpopo tried to get Khanyisa to latch on to her teat but is not experienced with doing it, as she has not had her own (much like Klaserie), and she gets frustrated when it does not happen. At one stage she unintentionally squeezed Khanyisa's trunk just a little too hard, and Khanyisa went first to the carers and then to Lundi for reassurance.
Sadly, it seems that Bubi takes a step back when Tokwe and Limpopo are with Khanyisa but always keeps a very close eye on Khanyisa. However, both her and Klaserie assume their allomother responsibilities when alone with her again.
This was evident when we went for a walk. We did not take the entire herd, just the original eight elephants that Khanyisa first met, namely, Jabulani, Lundi, Bubi, Klaserie, Setombe, Somopane, Zindoga and Sebakwe. Bubi and Klaserie were back in action, alongside Lundi, providing love and care for Khanyisa.
We hope that Limpopo and Tokwe will settle a bit in time, and allow Bubi and Klaserie to help with Khanyisa too.
It is interesting to see the dynamics of the herd unfold from day-to-day.
The younger elephants are a little rougher in their touch and show signs of jealousy on occasion, which is to be expected, just like children when there is a new addition to the family. It takes time to settle.
Little Khanyisa felt very loved.www.herd.org.za
Isn't it magical the way they all stop and surround her when she's nursing to give her time and keep her safe. So much of their gentle behaviour reminds me of the Orca I've spent time around. They all adore the babies, live within a strong matriarchal society, will Aunt and foster the babies as required, and look at you with such wisdom. This is beautiful♥️💜
Gentle giants loving the baby. I love how they sometimes stop while walking as if they felt something in the ground and wanted to protect her. Khanyisa is exactly where she needs to be.
YES she is!!! Surrounded by LOVE + FAMILY❤️💙💚🐘🙏 SO GREAT👍👏🥰❣️
They are so big bold and beautiful ❤️ you all are so loving to all the elephants. And that little girl is loved so much. 💞
Khanyisa has the entire elephant herd at her command. She is soooo loved by all. 🐘🐘🐘❤️💕
I noticed Limpopo squeeze her trunk but did not understand what it was for. I held my breath for a moment seeing that. Limpopo made me a little nervous in this video but, I would probably respond the same way around the cutest baby Ellie in the world 💕 Thank you for explaining the individual reactions to Khanyisa.
It's like Tokwe, Limpopo and Lundi are saying " Khanyisa's ours now" !
stand in the line, ladies! ;-)
And kambura
I think you're right, it's so profound and powerful. The whole idea was to make Khanyisa a part of the herd and marks a huge success for everyone involved. It feels like we can relax knowing the little sweet girl is in such protective and loving hands (trunks).
Yes. It is funny to watch, or listen to calling her. She wants to stay.
Khanyisa looks so healthy and loved. Great work everyone! 😄Please stay well
Tamisa is so sweet.....always smiling....especially when she's around Khanyisa. 😍 thumbnail on this vid should be a poster.
Yes she is truly our pink baby's big sister. She loves her ❤
Yes, Timisa is sooo sweet and loving to Khanis...not jealous at all... beautiful...😇🐘🐘😇
Little baby girl.. your doing so good 🐾🐘🌿🌱💙💚💜🧡💛❤
Limpopo loves the baby too. I don't see her as often with Khanyisa as some other ones, but she often pets Khanyisa when she is close by.
I saw Khanyisa drink by Bubi Khanyisa walk so fast good condition she is so little but the Herd must be faster and faster. I see also that every elephant give with trunk Khanyisa caress. So lovely so togetherness. Beautiful video with the carers and you Adine with the most wonderful Herd. Lundi who are now a mother for Khanyisa so lovely to see.
Five months later Khanyisa and Timisa are best friends forever.
It’s incredible that they could build such a beautiful bond with plenty of sisterly love and support.
Lundi always make sure our pretty pink baby gets home safe. What a good and loving mommy ❤
I love their emotional intelligence and respect and patience for their young. I feel calm watching the herd anytime of day. Thank you!
What an amazing compliment, thank you so much Cheryl! 💚 Sending you lots of love x
Buen día para todos.
Dios los bendiga siempre.
Buen trabajo.
No tiene precio. 😊😊😊😊
Love the way all the elder ones accepting baby khanyisa
Awwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is so pampered by the herd ❤️🐘❤️
And she deserves all the TLC they can give...Precious baby, has been thru so much...💗🐘💗
Fishan you are soooooo awesome oh how we love you and all the elephant herd...
Happy to see calf is taken care by bull.. ❤️
Love watching my Lil Sunshine 😘 and her family
Communication with and within the herd is so amazing, I love watching!
Love this herd
When Khanyisa stumbled how the heck did Lundi know, being that the baby was several feet behind her?
Good question. amazing how in tune they are to each other. just amazing.
ricelake30 Yeah, it makes me think of the saying that mothers have eyes in the backs of their heads, lol.
They just know, and her tail is always touching the baby when she is behind her. They also never step on the baby, because some how they always know where she is!
Carolyn Minter I think the awesome way they take care of their young is a primary reason why people like us (if I may presume) love elephants so much.
@@gabe-po9yi Yes I have loved and study elephants for a long time, and because Adine and the carriers are so thoughtful too bring us these wonderful videos of the Herd and our pretty pink baby Princess K, and her good friend Lammie. We feel like we are all part of the Herd. I think watching them especially our pretty pink baby. Helps all of us cope with this terrible virus. They bring just a bit of sunshine into our lives everyday. We have fallen in love with this Herd and it's truly amazing ❤
Whats relaxing watching elephants thank u
They love to walk , I like to walk and play with the elephant's ,🐘🐘🐘🐘🙋💓💓💓💓💕💕💋💋💋
Son madres bien Responzables, la Elefantas, qué instinto maternal wue tienen por sus crías. 😊
its lovely seeing a happy herd so tenderly loving and protecting their young. Happy families!
Adine please share more of Khanyisa opening the gate in the morning and running to her herd? I love all your clips but those are my favourite xx
Khanyisa trying to imitate learning of course how to eat grass and the leafs on the little trees is just about the cutest thing EVER, she is trying to do what her mothers are doing and its how they learn, but she is just irresistible adorable no wonder we ALL love her so much, all the mothers and the brothers in the Jabulani HERD absolutely love her so much, i see even mischievous Mambo loves her💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
What an hilarious beginning! The first 8 minutes tiny Khanyisa leading them around in circles...even little Timisa butting up to the little one , like the giant grownups! Oh this made me laugh. They’re all completely besotted by this little pink baby. As are we all. What a great very early morning chuckle, watching these enormous characters swirl around, protecting the baby but never arguing with each other.....so light on their feet! Im still laughing, watching everybody try to get organized & on their way. 🤣😂💗💕👏🏼
I love your sweet herd. They are so funny; three females looking at you-we aren’t moviing til little baby moves.. WOw, they are super protective of Khanysia-is tha normal?
There is always at least 3 adults surrounding Khanyisa at all times. Very rarely she's left alone
They clearly have fallen in love with her, as has the rest of the world. You have all done such a wonderful job with this herd. ❤
Thank you so much, Helenna 🥰. It's impossible not to fall in love with miss Sunshine xx
I agree 100%. I fell in love with her instantly, the first time i saw her.
As protective as the whole herd is it .nothing could ever get to her . That's fer sure and yes her human herd too. ☺️👌🌹 is it just me or are they becomeing very protective like wild elephants do ?
Just stopped by.Want to remember what Meisiekind looked like a year ago. So small and precious. Fast forward one year. She is getting big. She is still our precious sweet "Khanyisa". You are my daily dose of "Sunshine ".
When K stumbles ,Lundi was like what ....thats my baby
Khanyisa looks so tiny here! Baby girl has grown more now
Humans job is done....we got it from here!
Bendiciones para todos.
Gran trabajo les deseo una feliz Navidad y Prospero Año 2024.
Paratodos. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
😍
I love this herd so much. Such love and caring from the carers and the ellies. It makes my heart sing!
From being the baby integrated to the herd, now she is one of the youngsters making Baby Phabeni feel welcomed in the herd. Khanyisa has really changed so much, in the best way, not just in size, but in personality as well. I will never get tired of thanking you again and again for doing the beautiful work that you do. God Bless You, Jabulani herd and Adine and HERD.🙏🐘❤
Little Khanysa needed this so much. Surrounded by lots of love, protection and attention from her own kind. A wonderfully beautiful documentary of Khanysas integration. It can't get better than this...Or can it?
Sounds like shes saying "go Mexican " or "come Mexican "
"Come, Maisie Kind" which means "Come, Little Girl" or "Come, Little Girl Child" in their local language.
Meisie Kind
Aw Khanyisa, following her lundi without question or fear. Such a trusting little darling. Beautiful video of our darling Khanyisa!
Todos son bellos y especiales
Que gran trabajo. ❤❤❤❤❤
She was so little back then. Timi was jealous, poor baby.
Beautiful animals….and great people who look after them.
The sun bouncing off the elephants is always so beautiful
Lundi is such a sweetheart, leading Khanyisa to her orphanage.
El chillido del más pequeñitos me gusta. Son muy inteligente.
These are beautiful interactions with the herd. I don’t understand why you are always calling to them like they are dogs though. It would be more beautiful and amazing to watch them interact without them always being directed around. Just a thought. I just turn the audio off when I’m watching, but doing that makes you miss all their little language noises they make. They really are exceptional creatures.
Agree.. they look like they are only moving bc ppl are following behind and beside them with sticks in their hand not bc they are being called
Totally agree; I wish the people in the vids would just leave them alone and let them behave naturally. But thanks for helping them in general…
It’s so clear to see that the elephants have it in hand; and tho we appreciate what you do to help these magnificent creatures… REALLY wish that the people we hear at (nearly) every moment of the video would just let them do their thing, and let them take care of the babies - as they VERY OBVIOUSLY know how to do. 😕
She's awefully cute but one question these videos say 2 months ago or 4 months ago yet she still looks so little..hasn't she grown a little more??
She still looks like she's 4 weeks old??
How old is she now in July?
When they rec'd her in early Jan 2020 they said she was prob'ly 4 mos old...
So she was prob'ly born early Sept 2019...
So she will turn 1 yr old sometime BOM-to-Mid-Sept 2020.🎂🍼🐘🍼🎂
Adine has commented they have so many videos but it takes time to edit and post.
Do Elephant babies fussed over by adults exhibit the same spoiled behavior as do human toddlers?
Nice video 🥰😍😀❤️👍
Oh gosh, Baby is so tiny when filmed with the other ellies. I can't believe it. She seems to have grown so much when we see her in her sleeping area but, up against the adults, she's still a tiny little bitty.
LOL! Just noticed this video is almost 2 yrs old.
Do the elephants know their names?
Do dogs know their names? I bet, after all elephants use audible communication too.
Khanyisa has the whole herd under her spell, I know she has me :-* 🐘
❤️
Humans are so noisy.
TRUNKS + TRUNKS of BURNIN' LOVE😊😂🐘💚🥰💞
Its videos like tjis that make me laugh😅 the elephants didnt listen not ONCE to anyone...the way they were kiding kahnysa and adine kr the useless trainers couldnt get her back or to get the females to stop 🤣 theae guys are "experts and think they have auch a bond and connection yet these majestic giants can do whatever they want,whenever they want. The herd only there bcuz it orovides safety and a lot is provided by the humans,life is easier for them at rhe moment...if they wajted to they couled take over,get mean and run everyone iutta there, smart how they "pretend" to listen,and give the humans what they wanna see and hear..they do their own thing thing tho. Besides the food and medical assistance they would be better off without the humans and trainers and orphanage too,it traumatized then more than they showed up😅
Hi baby K
♥️🙏🏽
Too much repeating meisekind over and over. I know it is training, but, too much. Have to turn off the volume.
What's that drippy on the side of their heads?
A secretion called temporin from the temporal ducts.. In the link are some causes>>
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musth#Secretions
Sunshine wants to stay with her people ! lol
She is hiding.
Why are the cows on contraception? Are they too old to have calves?
It is not our objectives to breed with the herd at all. When the original smaller herd were rescued from Zimbabwe it was important for them to reproduce for their family structure, but from thereafter, after the females had a baby, they were put on contraception.
Oh. Thank you
I hope Khanysia will be able too have a calve of her own one day!
HERD Elephant Orphanage South Africa So glad to hear there won’t be any breeding. You’ve got to have a herd you can manage. Plus, it makes room for more orphans (?) Do the bulls go into musth?
The elephants are not hit with the sticks the men carry are they?
Never, they are purely guiding aids! :-)
Is tamisa jealous vth khanyisa smtm i feel it she is a kid also i love her too
Don't think so. She is so often right side by side with Khanyisa. Seems to me the closest sisters Khanyisa has, are Timisa and Kumbura.
I've never known how loving, gentle protective of their babies these gentle giants are.
I've learned so much from these videos...just amazing!!
And yes we're all so grateful to all the caretakers, you guys are indeed very special people. It feels like a thank you isn't enough.. But thank you all so much!!
Bless you all!!
How tinny is K., too litle baby ellie. Lovely. It likes to be with others elephants, and they always stop watching around ALL directions about enemies coming
That herd *loves* their baby girl ♥️
Que animais majestosos, como pode existir pessoas que matam tais criaturas fantásticas?
My goodness, Pisa’s got some flirty eyes! 😊
😍😍😍😍😍
Independent khanyisa
very much!
😍🤩
She’s so cute! She’s such an elephant even though she’s so tiny!
Are these elephants always around humans or do they ever have “elephant time”?
They have a lot of elephant time :-) They settle down in certain areas for the day and the elephants do their thing. At night in their land and around the stables they are on their own too. We show some of the highlights when Adine is present with her phone to capture some key moments :-)
@@herdelephantorphanage Thank you for answering my question. 🐘❤️
So much loving affection. Khanyisa is the Little Pink Princess of her HERD. Nice juicy grapefruit as appreciation for Lundi mothering Khanyisa home to her nursery.
🌿🌿🌿
Watching this 2 1/2 years later. Khanyisa is SOOOOOO smol ❤️
I had no idea that elephants eat big branches of trees I thought mostly they ate brush and grasses
