Baby Elephant Khanyisa Loses a Tooth & A New Dynamic Develops with Kumbura & Lundi!

- Some extraordinary news is revealed from Carer Last in these scenes! The day starts with Lammie and Nungu as Khanyisa gets her morning milk bottles in the nursery from Carer Reply, and then it’s off to the bush with the elephants!
Khanyisa and Kumbura are side by side, as they often are, with Lundi close by. Tokwe and her daughter Limpopo forage in the distance with Zindoga also hanging around the females. There is some beautiful morning light that shows the silhouettes of the elephants and Khanyisa’s soft chin fuzz.
Last explains that he recently found one of Khanyisa’s first molars on the ground by her and has taken it home for safe keeping. Last loves spending time with the babies in the herd and is very perceptive when it comes to different behaviours and apparently… lost teeth!
Calves develop four tiny molars in their mouths, which they lose at around two to three years of age (Khanyisa is two currently, turning three in September). These teeth are replaced by new molars as they are worn down - as elephants go through six sets of teeth in their lifetime.
Last also reveals the new dynamic forming in the herd! While Kumbura began her early days of integration into the herd in 2009 with Tokwe as her foster mother, and Tokwe’s daughters, Limpopo and Pisa as part of a close knit group, Kumbura - now 13 years of age - appears to be choosing new life partners, as Last puts it.
Because of her relationship with Khanyisa, Kumbura has been spending more and more time with Lundi, Khanyisa’s foster mom, and choosing to move in closer to her and her son, Mambo than she ever has before. The four now spend a lot of time together when they are out grazing and walking.
Kumbura will clearly do anything to stay by Khanyisa’s side as this is a very special bond for both the orphans, and as such Kumbura appears to be choosing Lundi, born 1989, as her new foster mom.
Kumbura has stepped into the role of allomother so well and with great dedication and passion and seems to have found the family group she was always meant to have.
It takes a herd to raise a calf, not only one mother, and as much as there are groups and certain dynamics within a herd, the overall holistic connections within a herd are just as important. We know Tokwe will always be there for Kumbura and any orphan or elephant in need, but she also has her hands full as Matriarch, mother to two, and foster mom to Timisa.
As the elephants age and develop, many changes will take place. We look forward to witnessing and sharing these with you!
You guys do a tremendous job taking care of these beautiful animals
Thank you always ❤️
What a beautiful way to spend a morning out with the herd. Little Khanyisa is really living her best life, she has bonded with so many members of the jabulani family and it's lovely to see their interactions and how they all take care of our little miss Khanyisa 💙💛
It’s amazing to see her developing so well and winning hearts! Thank you for following her journey 💕💕
I am SOOOOOO moved that Kambura is becoming part of a special group within the herd. Her story has always touched me, and knowing that she now feels e special belonging makes me so happy for her. 😊❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you wholeheartedly
Anch'io 🥰
Where did Kambura come from?
Love Kumbura!❤️
Kumbura is also very special to me and I love the bond that the three orphans have together Kumbura was also protective of Timisa but Timi growing up Kumbura is dedicating most of her time to little miss Sunshine and as Auntie Lundi is the foster mother to our miss Pink
Kumbura spends more time with them and mischevious Mambo (Lundi's son) But all this little world are never far away from each other Lundi being best friend of wonderful Matriarch Tokwe
Thank you Last and Adine for sharing all these invaluable information about interactions within the Herd
Spending my morning with Khanyisa and Kumbura is the best. That chin fuzz is so endearing in the sunlight. Adine, you must be careful on that bike! I ride and a spill where you break your helmet can be serious. Thank you Last for taking care of the precious group.
Thank you for caring! So glad you enjoyed this beautiful morning 🌞
How big her eyes get when waiting on her milk😆 One day I'll get there to visit you sunshine🥰❤🐘🍼
Adine needs to be careful the herd can't afford to lose her!! The little pink princess is getting older, losing her baby teeth, it's good Last was there to collect it. I know I'll never get over there in this life but its nice to know good people are here working hard to help preserve a little piece of the old world for a few more generations at least
I’m so happy that Kumbura has found her place in the world. This is such a meaningful special moment for her. And for Lundi, Mambo and Khanyisa too.
Khaynisa and Kumbura have always had a special bond. Very interesting how Kumbura is changing the dynamics and her place within the HERD. Look at all that blonde truck and chin hair on our sweet little Khaynisa. Just beautiful ❤️. Our little girl is growing up and starting to loose her baby teeth. Adine please take care of yourself. You must have hit your head pretty hard if you broke your helmet. Another great video. Thank you all for loving all the elephants 🐘 in this very special HERD.❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐑🐑❤️
Thank you for your love and support always Dorothy! Adine is obviously dreaming of elephants while she’s cycling lately. Hope you’re doing well! 💕
Kumbura has always been my favorite. She has a past which makes her cautious, but she gives her love freely to the herd and the carers. Her obsession with caring for Khanyisa sometimes makes me laugh, but it’s because she can relate. She knows she’s safe. She knows she was saved.
Kumbura’s growing confidence makes me super happy.
She’s found this special group while being a close allomother to Khanysa who’s Lundi’s foster mom & mom to Mambo. So glad for her.
Thanks Last for these good news & for finding Khanyisa’s 1st tooth in the vast greenery!
Adine. please be careful & don’t daydream about this beautiful herd!
Wow…a new family dynamic 💥💥💥
Kumbura, Khanyisa, Lundi & Mambo
💛🧡💖💜❤️. Watching the Jabulani Herd is always a joy. The individual interactions are heartwarming & a beautiful way to start our day.
So interesting! We are just a glad to see Kumbura finding her confidence and feet in her new family, taking new steps and growing as an individual with her bond with Khanyisa leading her 💕
Lundi is baby K's mom and Mambo's mother. So they I believe will always be close. Just like Timmi and her mom Tokwe and her two daughter's but I believe all of them are in love with the pretty pink baby. Just as much as we are.
I think Adine must get a TRICYCLE now.Maybe she won't fall off that !?!?! There must be very big tooth fairies down there. Please can we see the tooth ? 💋💋
I adore Kumbura and am so glad she has chosen a wonderful adoptive mom in Lundi with Mambo as her brother. Perhaps Lundi is reveling in gaining an older “daughter” and close adult friend in Kumbura. A relationship that can benefit both of them.
It is so good Kumbura is joining a group, who particularily lookout for Khanyisa . As she gets so nervous if there is any threat to the wee ones. Amazing how she notices which elephants are the most protective. Love them all 💕🏴
A small wound on the forearm... a thorn got Adine ! Wrong guess. Is that bicycle safe or is Adine safe? That is the question! 😉The new dynamic explained by Last was so very interesting. Khanyisa is becoming an "almost big" girl so fast. Thank you Adine and Last
Thank you for watching! Adine is having a bit of a clumsy period 😂😂 she is safe but is covered in grazes. Part of the fun of cycling we guess 🤷🏻♀️
@@herdelephantorphanage 😂
I am so glad that I am seeing this video about Kumbura as Khanyisa's new allomother and her new alliance with Lundi. Now, in November 2022, as we all have just witnessed Khanyisa's permanent integration into the herd, it makes perfect sense that the group into which our little girl is placed is with Kumbura. As I said in a previous comment on another video, I only wished that Lundi, Khanyisa's first adoptive mother, could be in the same group but she has her hands full with Mambo, her "rebel"son, who would be too rambunctious for Khanyisa's successful integration. It is so fascinating to me to witness the organic alliances or groupings of the ellies out in the bush and how that translates to their home life in the sanctuary.
Thank you, Last, for explaining the group’s changing partnerships. Gives a new perspective on delaying Khanyisa’s move to spending nights in the big covered area; you’ll be better able to support her joining her preferred bedtime companions 🥰
Hope they always stay a happy family, and not have to be confronted with the evils of this world.
I love how much Khanyisa has blossomed with the Jabulani Herd, and all of you Adine and all Carer's. Adine sorry to hear you had another fall off of you bike. I hope you are ok! Love to all at Herd and those amazing Elephants.
It is so interesting and lovely to see the bond shifting and developing further between Kumbura and Khanyisa. Do elephants have in their development something similar to adolescence? Kumbura is 13, is she like an adolescent? what are the markers of adulthood in elephants? I have so many questions, I never knew I had so much love for elephants in me before😊
Khanyisa looks like she is enjoying those leaves.
I hope the tooth fairy leaves her a giant bowl of sweet potatoes in exchange for her baby tooth 😁
Adine, I heard you say your helmet is broken and you hit your head on your bike. The eles need you too much for anything to happen to you. Be safe, please ! 🙏 hope you’re ok! And always a joy to see the peanut in a sunrise 😊
Another milestone for little Khanyisa. 🤩🦷
Thank you Last for sharing your insight on the dynamics of the Herd. 🤗
Kumbura really has such a beautiful heart and it's wonderful how dedicated she is to Khanyisa and forming stronger bonds in the Herd. 💞💕💖💞
Adine, please do take special care of yourself or Dr Klaserie will feel the need to give you an even closer examination. 🤗💐
Boy, those thorns look sharp and unfriendly yet they all seem to munch away at them constantly! The sun silhouetted them so beautifully, thank you as always for the superb filming of these beauties! Congrats Khanyisa on losing the first molar!! Growing, growing, growing😘🐘🧡
To me, it was so cool when I had first started watching Khanysia and she had needed a lot of rehabilitation and feedings to help her get stronger and she did because she is a touch girl.❤️ But, what I loved was when Jabulani was the first one to meet her and they connected instantly and then sh was brought to everyone else and they all welcomed her with open trunks and such love as if she was apart of their family always.❤️🥰🙏🏻🐘 That is why I totally love Jabulani so much because he is such a loving and gentle giant and the same with Fishon too. He loves Khanysia as much as Jabulani and for me, that warms my heart. Thanks and God bless you all and the elephants too. Sue (Florida, USA)❤️😘🙏🏻🌴👼🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌸👍🏻❌⭕️❌⭕️
I never thought about Khanise losing baby teeth...Considering their diet, I can see why they need 6 sets in a lifetime.
Love Kumbura and her relationship, deep bondedness esp'ly to the youngest two, Timisa and Khanyisa. Amazing how they organically fulfill the caregiving duties and other roles. TY for the great videos! 🐘💞
Kumbura waited oh so patient;y to have her loved Khanyisa by her side and now she is what shes wanted more to have khanyisa for herself as much as possible and she is absolutely amazing, her bond with her is very strong now as strong as the other females
iam so very proud of Kumbura. she also wants to be a mother i hope someday her dream comes true and she will be the proud mom of a beautiful baby for us to adorealso i think khanyisa wants to see everyone happy so she gives love to all little khanyisa is a VERY special girl she will be a matriarch someday just watch ill be here to see i hope
Wow, she's a big girl now! Growing so fast!
I'm grateful for Kumbura. Last, thanks for sharing your keen observations.
Thank you for the captions so I can enjoy this update with everyone. It’s so beautiful to spend time with our beautiful herd. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Hi khanyisa ❤️ hi all of you 🍀 🍀 🍀 so happy to see them so well with your help and care. Thank you. 🍀 🍀 🍀
How special to be able to be in such close proximity with these gorgeous giants, I must say that I'm Soo envious
Such a peaceful and beautiful morning~
Khanyisa eats and grows sooo well~💞
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

Did you give kyhansia' wee tooth to the tooth fairy 🧚♀️ 😊
I LOVE THE WAY LAMMIE AND NUNGO WAITS FOR THEIR HUGE, LOVEABLE BABY GIANT, SO THEY COULD ALL HEAD OUT INTO THE BUSH TOGETHER!!!💜😍🐘🐑🐑AND LAMMIE AND NUNGO WOULD HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY!!! LOL!!!😃💜😍 A VERY HAPPY FAMILY!!!🙋🙏🙏👍
Oh my gosh the picture is beautiful today. New camera? Nice. Thank you for the narrative, too!
Sorry to hear , you fell off your bike again. Be careful with yourself👍❤️Sunshine really puts the milk away now pretty quick😁growing growing❤️
Beautiful video 💖 thank you Last for the explanation about how Kumbura is choosing her new life partners❣️
Wow... that's a very educating and interesting observation omg...Adine I hope and pray you are well and all good... no damage aye? 🙏🙈Take a slow down..
Not by the hairs on Khanyisias Chinny chin chin... awww they look sooooo soft.. sending love 💌 & good vibes to you
Also, is Kumbura looking for a significant responsibility with the herd? From what I've gathered watching The Herd and observing their behavior, it seems each of the adults has a kind of specific job and responsibility. Kumbhura was one of the rescue calves who must have had a very bad experience because she is skittish, or she was. She's better now that she's spending more time with Kenisha. Lovely 😘🤗
Thank-you Mr. Last for explaining about how the bonding occurs. Thank-you Adine and All the people who do this most important work.
美麗的天使，不論小象或工作人員都是。
One thing that called my attention is that Last & Adine herd a lion away but the ellies didn’t.
Were they munching so hard they didn’t hear him? I sure was expecting trumpeting from the
‘Magnificent 16’.
This reminded me of Khanyisa when emitted a lower trumpeting when she spotted the ‘lone rhino’ not long ago?
Thank you so much for sharing all these news among the Herd it's so fascinating ! every day I wait for watching this dream life !! and a big surprise for Khanyisa !! how long teeth takes for the right size !! !! please !!!💓🇫🇷 thank you !!!
Oh look at her, she is growing so fast now. Wow where is the time she could not see over the fence only touch with her trunk. Thanx to youre great loving care she is able to reach adulthood and hopefully rase her own one day. The combination human and elephant is the right one to let this little Princess grow. Thank you for the wonderfull video this morning. 🥰 be carefull Adine, keep on your wheels when biking. I hope you are allright .
Sure, makes perfect sense that allomothering Khanyisa also bonds Kumbura with Lundi and Mambo. Good for Kumbura.
Well now...i hope you saved her tooth for the tooth fairy...she might have gotten a BIG OLE SWEET POTATO under her little hay bed...lol...
Good morning to you all , what an amazing morning to have a lil of the fun with the herd. She is so precious and glad to be around with the herd. I love the way the care takers are doing with the herd 🐘🐘😄keeps ypur heart warmed up as always. Thanks a lot for sharing another fantastic video. Hugs and Prayers to you all.😄🐘🐘🐘🐘 a beautiful sunrise 😄🐘🐘 they grow so fast. Kambura is a big 13yrs old.
She s such a lil character🥰🥰🥰so lovely half a ton full of love😘
I have to say it...i live in the NW of the USA and it rain's most of the year...but i get to watch a bit of sunshine grow...i love this stuff...just sayin...
In my next life’s. I want to be an elephant, because I know I will be cared for. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💞🌾🐘There's no time for play, when her milk is imminent. Khanyisa, happily gulps down every last drop. The sunlight casts such perfect views, wherever it touches.
Kumbura is attentive and caring as ever. Bonds which are forged and continually strengthening.
Thanks Last, for the keen observations and updates.
Adine, I hope your're not too worse for wear, after your bike fall.
All the best. Thanks for sharing another fab video. 🌿✨
Does Lundi make a decision about allowing Kumbura into her group or is it automatic because Kumbura is part of the herd?
Good question 🤔. It would be interesting to know, however it appears that the individual elephant makes the choice, but I really don't know. Would be interesting to know.
Be careful Adine, we need you to stay well!
Hey Adine, I always love sweet little Khanyisa so much, she always brightens up my days so much. 😊💜🌸🐘
adorable Kumbura she always an eye on Khanysisa ! always she arrive first in case of stress or problem ! I love her very much !! sweet Kumbura ❤
Amoung these giants with giant hearts, Kumbura and Bubi are the most sensitive, and love so deeply I will never e forget Kumbura fetching tiny khanysia over a year ago. I can see Lundi leading a group of the Herd into the wild. She is very capable, but she and her BFF Tokwe would probably arrange several meeting places every month or so, as those two are also closely bonded. In the end, this Herd will decide, and due to the bonds they share amoung each other I believe to the wild some will go, but they will meet up and visit each other forever.
Khanyisa is so BEAUTIFUL. 🤩 Adine, please take care ❤️🩹 of yourself. We all need you. 💜🐘
I always love elephants since my childhood years. 😊
These animals are so beautiful and special. Thank you for all your hard work and time. Thank you for sharing it with us as well. Whenever I need a smile I come and watch this incredible family
Gonna have to start calling you Adine Knievel if you keep on wrecking your bicycle! lol
Kumbura has been so great with Khanyisa since the beginning 😍
Everything is good.
No problems.
Khanyisa is progressing with no issues.
Adine, maybe its time to get a nordic track or a treadmill?
Be carefull!
You're not a spring chicken anymore.🤷♂️
Haha, the springs are still very much in this chicken! 😂
@@herdelephantorphanage
Okay.
Just sayin.
About 10 years ago, I wiped out for the last time on my dirtbike, cracking three ribs.
These three same ribs had been cracked two times before.
VERY PAINFULL.
So I sold the bike, and I bought a quad.
No more wipeouts!
@@herdelephantorphanage well let's hope the shock absorbers are also functioning well. 😉
So so lovely this lill girl is. :)
Awsome elly bonds and awsome keepers!
Love to hear about all the elephant friendships! Thank you for sharing!!! God bless Adine, Last and all the Carers, as well as this beautiful Elephant Herd!!!
🙏💜🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘💜🙏🎊🎈🎉
The sun beyond them at 5:26 and them in the foreground is so... Africa!
She is so adorable 🐘🥰🥰
Adine, once is an accident, twice maybe coincidental; please don’t let it be three making a regular pattern! Maybe you could get a pair of those “trainer wheels” for your bike?!? 😂.
We call them fairy wheels 🛞 and we have definitely advised Adine to try them 😍🙈 her mind is on the elephants when she’s riding
Smart, caring animals-amazing!
Would you just look at the cute little nubby tusks on Khanyisa! And the hairs on her chinny chin chin. What a lovely video, thank you.
This is the best descriptive comment you have ever written. Thank you!! I'm looking for a flying elephant emoji named Last for Ms. K's Tooth Fairy. Did he leave her a whole sweet potato?🐘
Lovely videos of these magical creatures. Adine, quit having bicycle accidents!
Adine take care of yourself 💕🙏please the Elephants need you healthy 🙏 ❤
i found the writing today especially touching. it takes a village to make a home.
Adine be careful on that 🚲❤️🐘❤️💛🇺🇦💙
God bless you all, I love the way you all take care of the elephants, and other animals. 🇨🇦
So happy to see the calf fitting right in and I love the way one of the adults is always keeping an eye on her what a sweet family they are I really enjoy watching all of your videos thank you
Elephant 🐘 get 6 sets!!!!
While we have to take care of only one adult set obsessively!
Talk about Lucky! 😂
I send my love to my African elephant friend khanysia and my sweet goat friends lamie and nungu.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌏
How beautifully the dynamics have been explained by you Adine and Last. The roles of the allo mothers, and each of the developing relationships. The babies and the growing up children. Very touched.
Thanks also for sharing the information about elephant teeth. So cute
Love my baby girl , Khanyisa ❤️Love the herd too❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Khanyisa Sunshine glad she is in good shape and walk with the herd in bush Kumbura always look out for Khanyisa
Last, Thank you so much for explaining to us the dynamics that are changing within the herd❣️🐘🐘🐘❤️💞
Just out of curiosity do the Allomothers of the Herd who have not given birth yet to their own calves, do they still do the trunk sniff or body trunk check on Kanyisa? Or is it something that just the more experienced mothers do? Those who've given birth to their own calves?
Do they allow Kanyisa to suckle? I know that we've seen Lundi, Bubi and Tokwe all allow Kanyisa to suckle...even though there isn't any actual milk but it helps the baby bond and relieves anxiety....do the Allomothers who've not yet biologically reproduced allow Kanyisa to suckle?
I've seen her suck on Timisa's 👂 ears but I assumed that was just play since Timisa is a Sister and play mate more than Allmother....was that just play? Or was it suckling to relieve anxiety and bond? Or is the play and fun the type of bonding the two youngsters do most?
I love this. She is coming into her own so to speak love this so much.
So beautiful
Good morning dear ones.
I wonder if they ever get jealous of one another like human Aunties over who is the most popular with the calf?
Definitely, depending on the elephant’s personality. It’s only really Bubi, Limpopo and Pisa who show jealous streaks for now
Pisa non ama Khanyisa è tantissimo tempo che me ne sono accorta....,
I could hear the lion too. Did you know the roar of a lion can be heard up to 5 miles away.
Compliments to the caretakers that keep that baby in a pristine stall
Thank you. The videos are so mesmerizing to watch and I love all the information.💗🐘
wonderful seeing then happy in their natural habitat
Look at that tiny tooth from that precious girl! Thanks
8:33 into video and she is sayin more please you know how to pick that good stuff...
😍😍😍
💞💗🌹Love Khanysia beautiful eyes when drinking her milk💖🍉🌽🍐🐘
