Adine Joins Baby Elephant Khanyisa, Timisa & the Herd in the Water for Mud Bathes & Fun 💦

Adine joins the elephants in the water today! Khanyisa gets a little mud bath assistance from her human mother/friend while Timisa also gets in on the fun. Tokwe and Fishan stand close by, always watching over the youngest in the herd as they enjoy the waterhole on a hot day.
Watch the interactions between the different elephants, Khanyisa greeting Timisa, Lundi with her little adopted daughter, and the big bodies in the background enjoying the dam.
Jabulani makes use of the tree to reach the places he can’t scratch and Lundi is soon to follow his lead. Khanyisa gives her pal, Carer Stavros extra attention as they forage and rest out in the bush between walks.
One big happy family!

[@denisewalberg5803]

That big ol’ Giraffe looked like he was hanging around waiting for an invite from the Elephants to go walking in the bush with them. What a sight to see if that happened. Sixteen bodyguards would make me feel pretty safe. Khanyisa looked like she needed some love from Adine today. You two have a special bond that will last a lifetime. ❤

[@mortalclown3812]

Just watched a documentary about giraffes that's on KZbin ~ (Sorry can't recall name of it but you could probably find it in search if you're interested.🦒🦒💖) They are discovering so many new things about them - how they protect each other and communicate. Breaks my heart how many species are endangered in the world, but especially in Africa. ✨🌍🦒🐘💙🙏

Khaynisa 🐘 and Timisa 🐘 was enjoying a little mud bath from Adine. It was so sweet. Adine Khaynisa 🐘 loves you so much. Her bond is undeniable with you. Then Khaynisa 🐘 went to Starvos for a little elephant 🐘 love. The whole Jabulani HERD were enjoying the dam. This is how I love getting up in the morning, seeing my favorite HERD of elephants ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

It is always so gorgeous to see the bonds and relationships between the carers and ellies.

[@ftc22]

We talk about how lucky we are to be able to see these elephants, and we are thanks to HERD. Do we think about how lucky the Jabulani Herd is to have these wonderful folks like Adine, Herman, Owen, Replay, Stavos, and all of the caretakers that come to work daily to care for these most beautiful animals? I thank you for caring for these elephants. You all are amazing people ❤️ and I respect you all.

Timisa, I think still has the most beautiful big black eyes and the perfect shape. I was waiting for Timisa to splash Adine back, lol I 🙏 for one day God will grant me my wish to come see The Herd in person. I'm still in treatment for breast cancer. It's 3am where I live, I'm up in pain it's becoming the normal thing now. It will pass. Thank you for sharing the beautiful 🐘 🐘🐘🐘with us again.

[@shoshannahorton7461]

The LORD healed me of breast cancer. But some good things to take are: Quercetin and Bromelain from Vitacost. And just saw a video from a guy who was cured by taking "dog dewormer" called "fenbendezol." Kills parasites in our bodies. But do your own research. God bless you and heal you in Jesus Christ's name, AMEN!🙏💕

I notice that Khanysa comes running when she sees Adine talking to another elephant. A bit of jealousy there. She wants all of Adine's attention, and gets it too. What a treat to watch the lone giraffe looking in on the Herd. Did he want to play, maybe thirsty for water as he hangs near the dam full of ellies. Thanks for posting these unique moments.

Such a beautiful day it was for you and the elephants too.😎🥰🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️. Thank you for showing such an awesome video of the elephants enjoying their time with you and the carers too Adine.❤️🥰. I loved watching the to youngsters having fun and when Khanysia (Pinky) got to see Adine, she was so excited and literally ran to you which made me smile so much.🥰❤️🐘. She definitely still, truly and always will love her human mom Adine cause she remembers who saved her and took care of her when she was sick. Also with Jabulani too, he is so gentle with his Carers and you Adine because you saved his life too and Fishon too qnd all the elephants. You humans are definitely a close knit family with the elephants that is just makes me happy that they have you and the Carers too. I feel that the reason why Jabulani is very close to sweet Pinky is because he was the first elephant of the Herd to meet her wasn’t he? So, it’s only natural for him to be watchful and protective of her too.❤️🐘🐘🥰 Such an awesome elephant he is. That is truly why I just absolutely love him and Fishon too. They both literally have a heart of gold for the youngsters and for the humans too. Good bless and have an awesome and blessed night. Hugs, Sue M.(Florida, USA)🐘❤️😘🥰😊🙏❌⭕️❌⭕️
