Save the Elephant Day - Orphan albino elephant Khanyisa's three month rehabilitation

- "Save an Elephant" Day - What a perfect day to reflect upon Khanyisa's three months since she was saved.
We will never forget getting that call, that there was a baby elephant that was rescued, she was in a terrible condition from being trapped in a snare for days, and dehydrated. Then to be told she is an albino too. Our hearts dropped, how did this little elephant survive all on her own?
In the three months since that day, her beautiful spirit and tenacity have continued to inspire us. Not only has she overcome the physical trauma inflicted by a heartless snare, but she has shown immense strength through her emotional trauma too.
Over the past two weeks, Adine has started the slow integration process with the Jabulani Herd, working with our trusted expert elephant advisors along the way. We introduced Khanyisa to Jabulani, as he showed a lot of interest in her wellbeing. From there we introduced her to her new adoptive mom, Lundi, also known as the "great aunt of the Jabulani Herd". Lundi has one baby of her own, who is ten years old. The Matriarch, Tokwe has two of her own, and also two orphaned elephants under her wing, so we felt it would be a better idea to have Lundi step up and have some more responsibility too.
One must keep in mind that wild herds, as a rule, do not accept elephants outside of their herd, join. So it is an incredible experience to see love and acceptance that Lundi has shown little Khanyisa.
What an incredible three months it has been!
Thank you for everyone that has supported us!
We have introduced Khanyisa to another two elephants, who do you think it could be? We will share more about that tomorrow!
Please consider donating towards Khanyisa's and HERD's costs on "Save our Elephant" day. We have options to donate or to foster Khanyisa:

The man holding the umbrella to keep the sun off of her is a legend.

Fun to look back at how small Khanyisa was two years ago! How healthy & happy she's grown, thanks to Adine and all the wonderful carers at HERD! God bless you all!
little princess khaniysa was bent on surviving her ordeal, will never forget this story and i binge watch all the time everyday i wish the entire world could see this absolutely AMAZING story, this brave brave spirited little Khanyisa is a inspiration for everyone for everyone alive human and all animals, the same with her HERD who accept baby orphans as they dont do this in the wild, just tells me everything I need to know about the elephant intelligence, they are better than us, and with the people who help them, they are the BEST we have in our society, true heroes.
This is so adorable and heart warming how you take care of the injured baby.
All the people that donate their time to help these beautiful animals all have different names but they all go under one title, Angels🙏😻❤️

Porque ele está tão ferido
Awwwww!🤍🐘
Prayers and well wishes to all who do this work.
The man who is always protecting Khanyisa “Sunshine” from the sun’s UV rays is so sweet and loving! This helps because Khanyisa is an Albino. With such fair skin, Albinos have such a high risk of getting sunburns which can easily lead to skin cancer. Jabulani really took notice of Khanyisa from the first very first “herd” meeting at the fence! I went back and looked several times and saw that it definitely WAS Jabulani, who was found 23 years back being in a similar situation as Khanyisa, who was so very excited to meet her. Elephants are SO BEAUTIFUL! They are extremely intelligent and treat one another very lovingly like humans treat their own family members. The fact that Lundi took Khanyisa in kind of like an adoptive mother, all the while letting her suckle on her nipple, just goes to show how loving and compassionate elephants can be! Seeing Khanyisa “running” over to Lundi and Jabulani in the last update was just SO BEYOND HEARTWARMING TO WATCH!!! Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely message. They are incredible animals - They inspire us every single day!! And yes, that running clip will always be one of our all time favourite moments!
I have loved elephants all my life. Sunshine is the very first albino elephant that I have ever seen. I loved her on sight and was so very happy when she was rescued. Sunshine is such a precious baby and I was so thrilled when she was able to nurse.
I am so very happy that their are such having and wonderful caregivers for these precious babies.
Can elephants _get_ skin cancer? I know they _aren't_ able to get internal cancers due their 'zombie gene' that turns cancer cells inside out to stop it. Thus. haulting the development of cancers to start to metastasize. _However,_ don't think that the scientists that did that research factored in 'albinism', as it wasn't mentioned. 😆😆
If you're interested in a little bit of elephant biology, may I recommend a 'rabbit hole' full of interesting facts & knowledge for you? (I fell down this hole once _myself._ It's honestly why I posted my comment 😊) Google search 'elephant zombie gene'. 'Why elephants can't get cancer gene'. Apparently, evolution helped out these big guys in a _huge_ way. People are looking at how it all works, trying to see if we humans have a gene like that we can turn on. _Fascinating_ stuff really. If you wanna chat about it as you learn stuff or find out something amazing, please let me know! 😉☕
Anyway this is getting long (sorry bout that), hope your beautiful Texas isn't too hot for you. August in Atlantic Canada this year _sucked._ Super cold?!? Had to _remove_ the AC out of our windows... in AUGUST! That's unheard of. Have yourself a great day. If you want let me know how your searching goes? 🤗🇨🇦
They are absolutely wonderful BUT like humans they can have moods and jealousies and can bully each other on occasion. I saw a video of a large adult bull pushing around a very small young elephant a while back and the narrator made note of his doing that and of the mother moving her baby away from that bull to keep it safe so it not all roses and lollipops. Still for the most part they are very inclusive and loving in general and the females of all ages act as nannies and overseers of the younger elephants too and help to raise them. It is a pretty amazing society overall.
the evolution of this thread is fascinating
Bless these beautiful innocent orphaned elephants Thank you beautiful people for your love and gentle care of these precious creatures. Big hugs and love to you all. New Zealand. 🙏🏼 💕🐘💕🐘💕🐘💕🙏🏼
They say elephants never forget and I don’t think Khanyisa will ever forget what her human careers have done for her, just like all in the herd. What a great family.
A Huge thank you to all of you that are making this world better for them… abd a big massive X and love to the beautiful brave girl 💜
Every human should be as kind, caring, and loving as these men and women are here. Fills my heart with great joy and hope to watch this little Elephant thrive with the help of good hearted ppl. I would give my life up and leave everything behind to be in Africa.
Just found your channel and I'm spellbound. Laughing and crying..better than anything on tv. God bless all of you and your work with the wonderful creature.
ill never understand how people can be so cruel this hurts my heart i hope she gets to live a long happy life
@Just Moi uhhhh ok?
Just Moi When it comes to using snares and ivory poaching and trophy hunting, I believe it's more complicated than you suggest. There are many malign cultural influences at work, especially for boys and men.
U can say that again
It has been said everyone needs a good cry. It has been a while for me..........
One word: China
This is what humans are meant to do on the earth, preserve and protect those who’re vulnerable.
All these people who are taking care of such magnificent animals are no less than God's ❤
Well you don't just cry when you see this... you sob... both tears of sadness and tears of happiness. Thanks for all you do at HERD.
Now I know where all of the angels are: they are all at the Herd Elephant Orphanage. God bless you all.
That is very kind, thank you!
So very well said! I think all the angels are also there.
Thankyou for everybody there which done a great job for elephants
My goodness she’s a trooper, I love her running for Lundi being so excited to see her again and lundi being so very protective of her once she got to her. What a beautiful story of caring and support and love for this very special little girl. All of you at the rehab are so incredibly well suited to do such sensitive work so from my heart to all of yours...thank you so much for your time and support of sunshine.
Thank you very much, Christie
That was the moment I lost it. So sweet
An elephant can actually lose the will to live.
This little elephant and all the doctors and care givers are very special people.
God bless them all. God bless the big baby.
Life is so precious. You are all wonderful taking such good care of this and all the orphan elephants.
Life can be just beautiful...... but gosh do we have to sometimes go through the hard times to see them! :-)
May God bless ya, everyone that took part in helping this beautiful elephant.
Thank you
As this world's supposedly superior species....We must take our stewardship seriously and protect the animals that can't be free do to our dominion over everything. Every creature deserves to live and to be happy in its own way.
2:30 she is positively beautiful! I thank you...the world and she thanks you! She can't speak with words but you can still see it there....Kindness is the only true currency of this world and in this you are truly wealthy!!!! THANKS! FOR elevating us all in our task.
Amen to that
Matthew Chandler Amen 🙏
You people who helped her can proudly call yourselves as humans,for me you all are best creation of nature
This video makes me cry each time I watch it !! Baby Khanyisa was so heavy injured !!! and so under his weight !! She has been courageous and she is a beautiful baby being !! she is always asking for cuddles to the herd !! and it' s difficult for her ! but she is happy and run rung to the herd !! it's a miracle ! and Vets ! keepers carers and you Adine always there ready to help her bringing your love to her !!! it's very very moving !!! thank you for this beautiful rescue !!! Khanyisa is gonna be a fantastic elephant !!! because of you !!!💓🌹🥰
As someone said, " I don't know you but I love each and everyone of you.". Thank you for what you are doing.
💔💔💔💔Gracias señores rescatistas que Diosito los bendiga y los proteja por ese amor incondicional por los animalitos necesitados 😇😇😇❤❤❤
She’s so pink...adorable...thank goodness she was rescued...this organization is wonderful...as are the people who care for the elephants.
These men , caretakers, are wonderful...giving their own time ,away from their families ...thank you from. My heart
God bless every man and woman who rescued, cared for, and help rehabilitate this beautiful baby elephant. 🙏🏾🌻💛
Слёзы сами накатываються ,когда смотришь на это. Малышку жалко до слёз, как замечательно, что появился друг для этой крохи . Бог Вам в помощь!!! ❤❤❤
I love that a collection of videos was made and posted of Khanyisa’s journey. She and her new family (human and pachyderm) have a lot to teach us, especially the younger generations: compassion, education about elephants, wildlife conservation and rescue, the painful realities of poaching, resilience and overcoming adversity, acceptance and the fact that being “different” is actually a beautiful thing... I hope her story encourages people to help wildlife however they are able.
До слёз!!! Вот куда надо направлять фин.потоки а также любовь, сострадание и конечно же помощь ЧЕЛОВЕКОВ!!! Низкий поклон сотрудникам и волонтёрам!
И ещё- Советская Зелёнка это лучше средство для защиты и зажевления ран! 😉👍
Snares need to be OUTLAWED!
criminals don't care about laws. That's why they call them criminals. Did you think snaring elephants was legal?
No! I sell Lot of snares
@@bendover2684 why? For what good use are they?
More to the point, poachers need to be shot on site. No arrests, no trials, just make them dead and leave them out in the wilds.
@@fozzibabSnsres should be outlawed. (My earlier question is RHETORICAL. In other words: There is NO good reason for snares.)
Wow, this was beautiful! I cried when she met Lundi for the first time, and Lundi allowed her to suckle. So beautiful to see Khanyisa recognize a mother figure and so beautiful to see Lundi let her. Amazing. Thank you for the work you do. ❤️
Thank you so much :-)
Absolutely melted my heart, that scene!🥹
Elephants are my favorite animal. Thanks for sharing this. Breaks my heart when they are killed or hurt by poachers.
The will to live is stronger for some. People & Animals.
To save a baby...with no momma and no papa...to gain her trust when man killed her momma...and snares the baby...such a strong willed baby...our baby💔💞
Ay mi vida doy gracias a DÍOS PADRE por qué te ayudaron los HERMANOS con corazón ❤️ hermoso llenó de amor por ustedes mis amados elefantitos
Los amo a TODOS por ayudarlos
Porque ello están indefensos
Dios me los bendiga siempre 😘
I still get goosebumps & teary eyed remembering these moments they share with us! It's such a beautiful story. I do hope you , Adine, put a children's book out about this sweet story & all the people & elephants who helped Khanyisa become part of this awesome herd.
Yes!
What pure joy this baby is, and the way the rest of the herd love her. My heart is bursting❤️
She is so tiny and pink! My heart is just melting!! 😍😍😍
Good girl, Lundi! My heart just broke over and over again seeing you excited to see her! In my mind I kept thinking, "That's your baby now" 😭😭😭 And you know Lundi is all up in her feels, too, judging by her temporal glands secreting like that! I'm so happy they have each other and your wonderful team! 💖💖💖
Душа замирает от такой красоты
I am overwhelmed. With sadness, hope, love and gratitude, for the wonderful people involved in this extraordinary endeavour for these precious animals. Thank you.
I love how the first night the elephants on the other side called out and were watching Sunshine! The caretakers are so blessed! They have wonderful hearts to help protect those beautiful animals and to have the elephants trust. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video of Sunshine and her progress, the caring people taking care of the elephants, and most of all the elephants!
I love elephants I'm wearing one around my neck and have them all over my house they are so smart. God needs to watch over them 💝💝💝
Thank you for sharing. She is adorable and can teach us a thing or two about resilience & courage!
Absolutely agree! Thank you, Parker Family!
Awww, she's looking for a mommy's milk with that little trunk. FInding the nipple on the old auntie was pure instinct. Alas, the nipple was dry. Too cute! Baby has such loving human caretakers- :D May you all be well, live long, and prosper!
Spock agrees with you
She's very beautiful. Her eyes make her look hyper-real, like an animatronic, she's amazing.
Oh my gosh. The cruelty we humans can do to such sweet innocent animals and children. Thank you for saving this precious baby. To see her healed up and her running to see her Lundi brought tears to my eyes.
Bless all of you at HERD for what you do.
❤️🐘❤️🐘
It's amazing how precious beautiful baby Khanyisa had a strong will to live. I'm so glad to see Khanyisa nursing and a gentle mom allowing her to do it. Hoping Khanyisa makes a full recovery, and gets stronger each day. Bless her ❤️
This was so unbelievable. Your all beautiful people. How Lou k the Elephants are to have you heal them. God Bless you all.
Ребята, как же вы здорово живете, какие вы молодцы, здоровья всем.
What a precious gift she has been for us. Thank you for your unwavering love
That cannot be an easy job trying to keep an umbrella over her. She had soooo much fun in the water of the dam. You have to sacrifice so much trying to take the place of her mother. You were lucky to have such a large support team so you could take turns. It’s very unusual for a male to befriend a baby. Ludi understood babysitting and getting treats. You can see her caring
How strong she is all she’s gone through thank y’all to the people that found her and to HERD people who’s
Thank y’all to the HERD people who are caring for these beautiful creatures y’all are special God bless you’d 🙏🏾🙏🙏🏾🙏🙏🏾
Felt like to hug her and cry for hours 😑.
She happy she has some one to bond with so glad for this little girl,so adorable a gift from GOD .
Khanyisa has been through a very traumatic start in life & she is a determined little fighter & this video shows us exactly how strong she is. The work & dedication that your whole team do on a daily basis is greatly appreciated. I 🙏🏽 that her integration with the herd is successful & she grows to love her new family ❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘
We really appreciate that - thank you
Zatknis!
İSA KRİSTALNİY ⚪! VAM NE OTNYAT UMENYA KCVY⚪.
Yes thank you for sharing. It sure brought a tear or two to my eye. I am so greatful Khanyisa is in great hands. I am praying for a full recovery and that the diarrhea goes away so she can be a mommy herself. Thank you for all you have done. It sure would break my heart if something happens to her. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the lovely message. Sorry We only replied to it now.
This was amazing and so happy this adorable little baby is having such a happy , healthy and loving life....
God bless all of you for saving this amazing little baby
Thank you very much, Kristie
Seeing the little calf with her eyes closed while she was smelling the female was so very touching! I imagined that she was remembering her mother's smell or the female smelled similarly to her mother! It was one of the most moving things
She’s precious.♥️
I love what you all do for orphans. You see nothing but love from the care givers and how elephants no the true meaning of being a family. God Bless c to all and take care.
Thank you, Sheila
Poignant Merci beaucoup pour les nombreuses leçons générées par votre merveilleux investissement
Et nous avons la preuve que les animaux sont doués d amour et intelligents
C'est merveilleux de vous découvrir avant de dormir. 💖
I can see God smiling down upon you as you care for these animals. When you get to Heaven you will see how much.
This is so sad how can a human this horrible snare hanging in a tree or lay on the ground at this moment 2 years later there are anti poachers teams and much more security in the bush. Little Khanyisa so much pain. There was a Angel and give Khanyisa a new good life with the loving carers and doctors and human mum Adine there come bottle of milk Khanyisa is growing and have a adopt mom Lundi and she is happy in the situation in her lodge and by the elephants and become stronger and healthy and happy. Thank you all for what you do for the Herd and for Sunshine Khanyisa. You are the best.
God love her and all the elephants. I have loved them since I was a little girl and I am getting old now.
So cute elephant.......
Молодцы спасайте побольше. Честь и хвала таким людям. Животных надо беречь.. Человек сам превратился в животное. Ради своей приходи го ов уничтожить все живое.
God Bless all of you for your work and dedication in caring for these majestic elephants. It is truely touching.
СПАСИБО Вам огромное за спасение🐘💕💓💕
Sweet Khanyisa and the herd that loves her. I love them all! I'm proud of Khanyisa's healing, growth and development! She has the will of a very great elephant! She has some wonderful teachers in the herd. Bless everyone there for helping little Khanyisa find her place in this loving herd!💕
When I see this, I remember there IS a God. Bless all who helped this baby find her way on this planet.
Khanyisa is such a pretty pink baby! Oh my God, why would anyone want to hurt her? Thank you to her carers , Vet and everyone involved in her rescue and rehabilitation. She is getting all the love she deserves.
I just found you and have been watching all the videos of Khanyisa, getting acquainted with everyone from the caregivers and to the elephants. The first part of this video where Khanyisa was drinking from the water trough was emotional for me. Her eyes and body language she appeared to realize she was still alive, I don't mean to put human emotion on her, but that moment was so profound. I forward the video when her injury is shown, can't look knowing the pain that she went through. Thank you, for sharing Khanyisa's story and may she continue to thrive under her caretakers expert work and her herd members, also.
Thank you so much. Sorry to only see your comment now. It was such an emotional day and morning after she arrived. Lots of emotion!
You know when you do good to others, you will get rewarded!
I love animals soooooo much! Seeing this makes me cry tears of joy at how happy she is. I hope she lives a long and healthy life. She's so darn cute I just want to hug and kiss her and play with her.
Sunshine 🌞 is such a fitting name for this brave and cheerful little guy! May the Lord bless you and your team as you care for God's gentle giants and defenseless little ones.. What a privilege and blessing it truly is.
... Blessings to you in Jesus name ❤
Ведь так не бывает на свете, чтоб были потеряны дети.
Coming back on little meisjekind's birthday to remember how far she has come! Thank you to all of her carers, Lammie the legend, Adine, and the entire Jubalani herd! Her recovery took a lot of love to help her pull through. Khanyisa is a little miracle. 💚
Happy 2nd birthday!
First, she saved her own life, and then her new family carried on to surround her with so much love and care.
All of us animals know how important LOVE is, it would not be worth living without it.
She’s all of our baby, our Sunshine!
We are all so lucky to have her!🥰
THANK YOU FOR SAVING THE ELEPHANTS,
My heart aches seeing the little ones journey. You all are God sent!
Love this video! You can't help but be emotional looking back at how far this precious one has come & how bad her injuries were. Thank you for all you do for her & love that little face! Brave Khanyisa! 🐘🤍🐘🤍🐘
Thank you!! we should have allowed for reading time on the slides - sorry about that :-) So glad you enjoyed the story all the same. What a journey it has been!
No worries. We just paused it to finish reading then continue playing...lol 😁😉
Awww ❤️ Lundi started to look forward to Sunshine coming! ❤️ Amazing work you all do!! The elephants have such amazing men looking after them. You can see that they’re very maternal with their care.
Thank you so much
She as a strong will to live. Thanks for sharing and caring for her. She's adorable. Love watching her 😍💕😍💕
Sorry I misspelled a word . She has a strong will
She loves life ❤️
🇨🇦😥😭 God bless you all for helping this little baby. 🙏❤️😇
What a. Wonderful work you do with this appealing little creature. To see her frolicking is a joy. Thankyou for your caring . You are My Hero’s!
Thank you, Astri!
I have been following her story but I somehow missed this one. It breaks my heart that she lost her mom; because of Herd she now heals 100’s of our hearts. Who can feel pain while watching her special light!
Thank you to all who cared for this beautiful young lady. You care all HEROES in my book and I love you all. God has a very special place for all of you in heaven!!!
Sincerely, Cindy Davis
14:16 I never realized how ENORMOUS elephants are!! Whoa!! And look how cute the baby's tiny trunk is compared 😂 so cute!!
They are even bigger than you imagine, when in real life!
There are smaller elephants in Asia, especially in Borneo island, so small they are called pygmy elephants.
It's so beautiful to see people treat wildlife with so much love and respect! Thank you, for making the difference :)

What a beautiful little baby she is! It was so sweet when they would bottle-feed her, how she always had her trunk reached up to their faces. Just like some human babies reach up to mom when they’re being fed. 🥰
