Baby Elephant, Khanyisa Chases Off The Warthogs! Plus Quality Time with the Herd!

In this new video, we meet up with the elephants in the morning, as Dr Rogers is arriving to check on Pisa, who recently had an abscess treated. Khanyisa is extra bolshy as she charges after the warthog in the area to chase them away from her herd. Spend time with Zindoga, Mambo, Tokwe and Timisa and get unique views of the underside of Khanyisa as Adine bonds with the little calf in the bush. We've had some rainfall, which has created patches of greenery, and we can't wait for even more rain to fall, to turn our wilderness into a verdant Eden for the wildlife again.

The elephants are all beautiful but watching Khanyisa coming in to her own is so cute…🐘…she did her part, protecting the herd from those warthogs !

[@sueanderson-croft6268]

Lovely seeing Khanyisa running after the smaller animals 😂. Flapping her ears, bless her. After seeing the video of Khanyisa's under belly. I think she needs some anti-wrinkle cream 😂. Lovely seeing Fishan, Timisa, Mambo, Limpopo, Zindongo, Towke, Pisa and Kumbura too. I did notice blood on Limpopos tasks. Hope he's ok. I've never noticed how little hair Timisa has on her tail, bless her. Thk u as always Adine, all the Carers and all the Ele's too 🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘 xx

[@sharonj.2865]

I love seeing Khanyisa run. She is quite graceful! Ears and trunk flapping. Looks like a very hot day in the bush. Our autumn is arriving and very chilly at night! ❤

[@loraineriddell7157]

[@relax2dream164]

So nice to spend time with these beautiful creatures. Timisa is just so pretty. And of course Khanyisa, the miracle child, is always fun to hang around with (as Kumbura can attest to)!Im glad Dr Rogers is keeping an eye on Pisa and that painful abscess. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

I love how quiet and diligent these gentle" babies" are. They know what is going on sometimes infrasonically because they anticipate what they experience around them together as tho they are talking to each other. They know their carers so well, too. Its just a thought but how I see them.. They are truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this heart warming family. All of you are so inspiring.❤🐘 God bless you all.

[@rocioaguilera3555]

You're right. Elephants make infrasounds

[@Kymcook73]

Zindoga precise with his food. Kumbura: always ready to attack and protect Khanisa. Timisa peaceful and the most gorgeous lashes. Every woman would love to have your lashes.

[@DianaBamaRN]

Way to go Khanyisa! You are quickly becoming an asset to your herd! For some time babies are essentially a burden to a herd. Dependent on their mom’s 24/7 and requiring the herds attention and protection in tons of situations. But at a point in their young lives that begins to slowly change as they start stepping into the roles they will play as adults. One role for females is protecting their herd from other wild animals. Khanyisa just did that, instead of needing the herd to gather round a scared little baby she went on the attack! Wow! She’s growing up so fast!

[@snowbird7614]

Khanyisa is so cute when she runs. Her ears out and her tail sometimes wagging. She is growing into quite the little lady! Go Khanyisa!!!!❤❤😊😊

[@janparish7895]

Doc Rogers is so right - Khanyisa is indeed a "miracle child" and he played a huge part in her survival in those worrying early months and times. Thank You again Doctor Rogers and your wonderful Team. 🙏. So I was enjoying this lovely video until Adine revealed the "communal spider home" 😵 🕷🕷🕸. I'm afraid I have a real spider phobia. I could never harm them and, of course, this is their home too but ........ 'bye spiders! 👋. Lovely to see Meisiekind running, Mambo on his best behaviour (wonder what he's planning!) Timisa, who gets prettier all the time, protective Darling Kumbura with Khanyisa and so much going on. Amazing how a little rain can be so helpful. Hope Pisa is doing OK? Thank you for another lovely video Adine 😊💚🐘💚🙏

[@Jkatz9y]

LOVE to see Khanyisa from underneath - strange angles.. she's very careful not to tread on Adine!

[@mortalclown3812]

I was just thinking about the gentle ways of these animals ~ how deliberately they move and all they seem to sense around them. Added to that, the extreme emotional intelligence they portray. What wonder to see them up close. 🐘🦓🦒🦏🦁🐘💙

[@edwigcarol4888]

​@@mortalclown3812 a friend of mine reported a travel in India... He wondered why an elephant took a man in his trunk and: threw him in the river! His caregiver assured him that he needed not to fear the elephant. That man had treated the elephant badly years ago. In fact the elephant was very gentle and careful with other humans, most tourists here...

[@JamieM470]

@@edwigcarol4888 I've read about their facial recognition. There's a village in Africa (can't remember the country even lol) that hurts and even kills elephants because they eat their crops. The elephants in that area are very tolerant and peaceful with tourists, but if they see a villager they will charge them. I'm on team elephant 😉

[@Claire11elliott]

But if Khanyisa tried to sit on Adine, she'd crush her.

[@dorothywestcott2408]

Dr. Rogers calling Khaynisa 🐘 a miracle child. I totally agree with him.I love watching Khaynisa 🐘 puffing herself up ears out making herself look bigger and chasing the warthogs away 🤣. Adine I always love it when you look at Khaynisa 🐘from underneath her. Timisa 🐘 had a chance to bond a little with Adine without Khaynisa 🐘 around but she was more interested in eating. I saw that Dr. Rogers was there checking on Pisa. How is she doing? It's so peaceful there in the bush. Thank you Adine for another great video. Have a great day Jabulani family ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

Dr Rogers is right Khanyisa is a miracle baby and to see her be the one to chase the wharthogs shows how much she has grown. And I knew when you would find Kombura who would be right next to her. The love is so precious. How is Pisa doing? Is she healing ok?

[@kp8381]

Dr. Rodgers is correct. She is a miracle baby thanks to his great care, HERD(adine, caregivers,supporters), and the love from around the world. Baby K chasing the warthog was priceless. Did Limpopo have blood on her tusk? Lovely grazing video. Thank you. 🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️

[@claritadeluna6609]

How is pisa coming along. Is the abscess fully treated and almost gone? By the way, how do these abscesses come about?How does an elephant express pain? I remember watching Fisham when he damaged his leg. It was hard to tell he was in pain. One of my favourite elephants! I admire him so much giving up his position as a patriarch because he knew his injury was an impediment for him to perform his duties. I so admire him!

[@thefloridamimi9278]

I remember when they posted the video of them draining the abscess, they said they were pretty sure it had been caused by a type of sharp-tipped grass, and they thought that one had poked her in that sensitive area, which then caused the abscess to form. It looked so painful. I’m glad she’s doing better now, and she’s almost healed.

[@davidnierzwick2775]

I always try to and usually do watch all the ads for the Herd channel! Best easy way to support this awesome group!

[@lindaclark1406]

I pray you get rain soon. Everything looks so dry. It amazes me how Adine just trudges thru the high grass without a worry. I, personally would have on hip boots. All the elephants seem to know their names. Is this possible?. Thank you for another great visit with our elephant family. 🇺🇸💕💗❤️🌺🌴💋

[@DianaBamaRN]

Adine has said yes they all know their own names and you can see for yourself that when they hear their name they respond! I’ve recently seen studies that have discovered that they have specific names for each other just as we do. When communicating in any one of the ways they do, they identify specific elephants by using a consistent “name” for that specific herd member. Just as we do! Their intelligence knows no bounds and we were so very wrong to have believed that they were merely acting out of instinct or some other animal emotion like hunger. Actually I’m my opinion we thought elephants and tons of other animals we not intelligent because we weren’t intelligent enough to develop ways of measuring and testing and proving this. As our intelligence and skills at developing monitoring/measuring tools increase we can now actually learn how smart these creatures actually have been all along!

Oh look at little Khanyisa go, running after those warthogs! Too cute! She’s brave & mighty showing no fear, because she has learned from the best. & no doubt she knows the other Elephants will have her back. ❤

[@mortalclown3812]

She truly is a 🌟 and, yes, you're right about her amazing teachers. Fwiw, your comment reminded me of a story I'm following on another channel. First, I know it's not optimal to see any animal in captivity, but since these gorillas are critically endangered, I'm glad to see good zoos with great vet staff, enrichment, etc, but this is about another very unlikely tale of survival. (It's on Larry's Safari) There's a baby gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo whose name is Kayembe. His first time mum rejected him in the beginning and it was scary for everyone since he was sickly, too. But then a very elderly gorilla named Freddie took over as his allomother. She was 47 years old and began to spontaneously lactate to feed him! Of course, the zoo supplemented that with bottles a few times a day, but it was still a miracle to behold. ❤🦍😍 Then another surprise occurred. Kayembe's birth mother began to accept him, too, after seeing him with Freddie - perhaps learning? - and, after her original milk had dried up, also began to spontaneously lactate to feed him. The keepers were all astounded. The two females took turns taking care of him, altho Freddie was his preferred mum. Anyway, Kayembe's going to be two years-old next week and is the healthiest, brightest, most playful little great ape you could imagine - all because of this strange cooperation between troop members. Lastly, he's even got a new baby half-sister born in July who's healthy. (They share a father, the great silverback Mokolo.) Here's to our beautiful garden planet's survival as well as its fantastic, courageous denizens. May they be protected.

[@terryheatwole6153]

⁠@@mortalclown3812I also have been thrilled/worried/astonished by Kayembe’s story and there have been times, too, when I have thought of Meisiekind. (I abhor zoos and wildlife parks, but accept that they exist and some are doing important work…..but, animal captivity for human enjoyment makes my stomach turn.)

I always wonder about their "Silent Communication"? Do the older females tell the younger ones, "Go babysit"? or do the younger ones innately want to be like their moms and aunts? Then there is Fishun. Did he say, "OK, I'm a little handicapped so I'm going to help the girls out and keep Mambo, in line?"

Timisa has such a beautiful face and mischievous eyes. I’m getting to recognize them individually now by their faces and demeanour.

I hope Pisa is healing after that nasty abscess. Sending much love from 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@judycook4314]

Khanyisa certainly has a lot of confidence! It appears that she had to take matters into her own hands (so to speak) because no one else acted quickly enough to chase off the warthogs. Of course there is backup to support her, but she is very confident in her own ability. I can definitely see her as a herd leader if circumstances require it.

[@mortalclown3812]
