A Whirlwind of Elephant Commotion as Heavy Rain Pours Over Lundi & Phabeni’s Meeting

[@lorrainegreen6016]

I'm so glad and happy that the team at herd rescued phabeni. No one else could of given him all the care and great life ahead that he has now

[@poppamic]

Well said 👏👏👏👏👏❤️🐘

[@mortalclown3812]

He's blossoming more every day ~ Amazing to see him already so attached to Lundi and sweet Jabulani, too. Snuggling with Khensani was adorable to behold. ❤😊🍼🐘🩵

[@lorrainegreen6016]

@mortalclown3812 yes agree when he was first rescued he was like what is going on.? Where’s my elephant family? Who are all these humans lol. Now he and Lundi seems to have a special connection it’s really hear warming

[@missclaire4820]

After the blanket was put on him he touched the new blanket with his trunk he then reached out touched the fabric of the carers clothes . Please keep him out of the rain and warm. ❤

[@jorr1334]

I love how Phabini tried to run back to Lundi and how gently his carers guide him and the rest of the herd. No sticks to prod or ropes to pull. Or even use of hands. Mutual earned trust through love and respect.

[@allisoncompeaux3981]

Yes. I notice this also. The carers allow Phabeni to make his own way. Elephants often suffer under the hands of man, but not these elephants. ❤

[@hazelmaciver4076]

Its raining hard here today in the Highlands of Bonnie Scotland too !! I didnt realize that the elephants dont like the rain just as much as us humans. Stay warm and dry inside Phabeni and all your carers.

[@JD-nd1oz]

With the amazing hearing and smell ellies have I am not surprised they got spooked by the sound of the heavy rainfall. I would imagine the sound of the rain would mask the roar of a lion or their smell, along with whatever way the wind is blowing. Poor Lundi was stressing because she had a baby to protect. It is amazing the 360 degree turns and not once was baby Phabeni harmed. I love Lundi she is an amazing mummy.🥰❤🐘♥️🥰

[@meraaicat]

Oh my, what dramatic moments when the mighty African sky just opens the floodgates... And Mama Lundi and Jabu frantically try to protect their new baby, and scared little Phabeni sticking to his elephant family as closely as he can... Lovely to see him a few minutes later with a full tummy and cozy under his blanket - hopefully he was able to reconnect with Lundi, Jabu etc very soon after!! We are on tenterhooks!!!!! Thank you so much, HERD guardians - so much respect and gratitude for all you do ❤🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️

[@kimmieh8419]

AGREED! 💯💕

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

Lundi is a dedicated mother and guardian. I think nothing can happen to Phabeni in the bush with her by his side.❤

[@ShortOrderCook]

Play dates are hard to break up, by the looks of things 😁 All that commotion and little, tiny Phabeni in the middle of it, and no-one put a foot wrong. It amazes me!

[@YenZenBamboo]

Totally agree. How amazing to see… 🤟😎☮️🇦🇺👍 J

[@loritac1170]

Phabeni likes the rain but Lundi got spooked a little twirling around and got the little bull confused! So glad Adine and Joshua got him back inside!❤

Hello Adine, little Phabeni looks so adorable. 😊 He brightens up my days just like sweet little Khanyisa & Timisa. 💜

Hi Rosemary from the UK 🖐🏼, I was a little worried also, Lundi and Jabu seemed very nervous, thankfully, little Phabeni was just fine!

And little Phabeni was cool as a cucumber. No bothers on him. He is a very brave little elephant!

[@lindawalker8312]

Loved it when Adine first gave the towel to Khensani to dry off but Adine please also make sure you look after yourself. You were soaked to the skin. You are such an integral part of the elephants' wellbeing and self care is extremely important in order that you can continue with your amazing contribution to their lives.

[@fabienneroure9995]

I noticed that also ❤ Adine is really amazing. ❤ A big shout out to Khensani for all her behind the scene hard work!❤

[@HEWholoves-w1d]

I know why the elephant’s love her❤❤❤

[@Godsgirl1958]

@lindawalker8312, Adine's concern for Khensani--in this case--and for all of the staff under her leadership, is Adine in actuality taking great care of herself. That is what a good leader does: she recognizes and cares for those under her leadership, and by doing so, she is actually taking care of herself since they are the ones who have her back, her welfare, and oftentimes her safety in their hands and hearts during much of her given time at HERD while we, as armchair watcher/warriors, sit and worry needlessly and openly from our homes about the great white warrior's welfare. Adine is a valuable, needed, and much-loved HERD asset to be sure, but then so too are the men and women who help her make it all work 24/7. I remember a time not too long ago when the elephants and the white guides/photographers/doctors were always referred to by name while the non-white men who daily cared for the ellies (and the other non-whites who added daily substance to HERD) were not even considered, in most cases, important enough to be called or considered by their names. Many viewers seemingly then only cared enough about one human being and her family. It has been very encouraging to see Adine help to affect this change and to see staff and many viewers openly now start to express concern, recognition, and obvious appreciation for the carers and the others who work diligently behind the scenes. The old African proverb truly applies here: "IT TAKES A VILLAGE". I applaud, and greatly admire Adine for the changes (including attitudes) she has helped to bring about through her caring and effective leadership in creating a truly genuine family at HERD. Now, if the carers would allow, it would be nice to learn a little bit more about the carers' family life and their families outside of HERD (just as we have a slight glimpse of Adine's family life and children outside of HERD).🐘🧑🏽‍🔬👨‍🔬👩🏽‍🔧🧝

[@evonwilliams7502]

Yes Adine😮 has a big heart she so sweet and she looks out for her team and her 🐘 good job Adine love all of you please be blessed and safe🎉😂❤

My Favorite Family ❤ I'm glad Phabeni, Lundi & everyone was safe . It rains like that in Florida where one side it will be raining & the other side of the street nothing . I never knew elephants get stressed during heavy rain . We have weird weather here in Ohio . Love Everyone at Herd . Give Phabeni a hug from our pack to yours .

[@MirlitronOne]

Interesting that the heavy rain makes your elephants so uneasy when the Asian elephants on another channel seem to revel in it. Risk of thunder and lightning, perhaps? Each to their own, and you know your charges so well.

[@charlestonscnative9083]

We have the same in Charleston SC where one side of street has a downpour and the other is dry with sunshine. 🙂

[@chuccchuck6977]

Northern Ohio weather this week is forecast mid 50°f.

[@cliffontheroad]

@@MirlitronOne Never understood why elephants pee in their drinking water and now how they can't associate a roof with not getting rained on.

I live in Florida, from Northern Ohio though. It will rain in my backyard here, and not drop in the front! LOL

[@amykins9870]

Wow his natural instinct to stay with his heard. He wanted to nurse for comfort and try to get back to Linda. So precious to see that he finds comfort with them.

This little bull has to be the cutest new 'superhero' on the planet. He looks even more adorable wearing his new blankies/capes 🥰 so lovely to see him happy with his new ellie family. The amount of patience, care and love from everyone at HERD is wonderful to watch.

[@arcticgoddess]

Phabeni is such a cool customer. He was ready to take off with Lundi and Jabu and hope her milk came in!😅 What a brave boy. Love you all, please stay warm

[@vblackwell3347]

He's definitely bonded now. It's so wonderful & healthful that he has a momma influence again. I can only hope that his poor birth mom is well & somehow thriving. I'm afraid that if alive, she's still grieving. It's hopelessly hard to lose your babe. Especially not knowing that he's alive & rescued, in the best of ways. Bittersweet! 😢

[@kitc1031]

Gosh! Phabeni looked so tiny under Lundi & Jabulani! I was nervous for him when Lundi & Jabulani got upset, but the Herd team did a great job getting everyone home. Your the best! ❤🐘👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@quadbox]

These videos are just such a joy to watch. Phabeni's joy at meeting his future family is everything. I can't wait to see him with Timi and Khanyisa playing together.

[@arellerodejale7458]

Seemed like Phabeni wanted to follow Jabu and Lundi to the Homestead. It was heart warming and heartbreaking simultaneously. 😍😯🐘🍼

[@susycavaleiro1265]

Wow! That was an exciting start of the day. Lundi went into protection mode in a minute. I was scared for Phabeni in case he got knocked by Lundis' twirling around. Lovely to see Khensani doing her " mixology" stuff. Thanks for the video. You all look like big drips now.😂😂😂😂

[@mary-anneswanson1428]

I would also like to add how nice it is to get to see Khensani in her role at the orphanage . Adine and Khensani are strong positive role models for other young ladies who may make caring for wildlife their career and mission in life :)

I was stressed just watching but you guys were so calm. Once I realized how calm you all were I was able to relax. Just another reason why Herd is so successful with orphan elephants.

[@michellesartori6695]

I have come to realise that you can't make an elephant do ANYTHING it doesn't want to! I'm glad that you managed to get Phabeni back inside the nursey because it would be awful if he got a chill and got sick or worse! I'm so glad that Lundi seems to care for him and Jabu was so kind and hopefully one day in a few years time, little Phabeni will grow to be a majestic bull elephant just like Jabu and Sebawe! Thanks for all you do!

What an adventure for all and little Phabeni seemed to take it in stride. Very eventful day for all with the meeting and the rain. And the rain a blessing besides!

[@farmwife7944]

Heavy rain means the big elephants are unable to hear or smell when danger is close by so it makes sense that they would work hard to protect the baby from all angles. Wonderful to see the lovely Khensani and the work she does. The young ladies of the world look to each other for inspiration.

[@donnievance1942]

Heavy rain also often comes with lightening. Big animals out on an open plain would be somewhat at risk for that. Also, with lightening comes thunder. Elephants are very sensitive to low frequency noise. Their own low frequency rumbles propagate through the ground and allow them to communicate at great distances. To an elephant a heavy storm probably presents a furious racket beyond our perception, in particular low frequency bursts coming through the ground that they feel through their feet.

[@vblackwell3347]

Thx for the explanation. ❤

I never knew there would be this difference. Asian elephants at Elephant Natural Park, ENP absolutely love and rejoy the heavy rain. The basically have a party day when it rains. Probably because it rains a lot there, right?

[@joncheek7063]

Correct. Your assumption would be spot on.

[@sandinielsen4401]

These rains are sharp and loud against the building roofs. A new experience for Phabeni. He feels safe amongst the older elephant group.. Do all of the elephants become chilled or only the babies? The response is quite erratic. Thank goodness for the blanket. Did you experience a wave of heat as we did in Western Australia? The temperature has no care for man or beast! Does the water soak in or form small ponds? Take care and stay safe. ❤❤❤

Little Phabini endured an enormous amount of stress when orphaned and on his own before being rescued. He was deprived of milk and food and was very vulnerable and weak. It will take time before he is strong enough to endure nature's elements. The team did an excellent job to ensure his well-being. Can't express how wonderful Lundi is with that baby boy. Jabu too. What a gift they are.
