Baby Elephant Khanyisa’s Last Morning at the Orphanage & a Saunter over the Homestead Sand Mound

[@acathysmom2616]

Good morning everybody. Well what a great and happy day for our precious baby girl. I am 76 years old and I have watched her from the time you all found her alone and have caught up in snare and wounds were open and nights you all were trying to comfort our little elle after her mommy was taken away from her. She looked so afraid of everything I can only imagine what she thinking(I was praying for her but God is so able.) But look at her now!!!!!!!! Thank you for all of you for showing us this beautiful journey as we watched you all take care of one of God's creatures. I think she so happy and comfortable with her young life. I have enjoyed all of it and I continue to pray for all of us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Amen. Thank you again. What a journey family!!!!!! You really make a 76 years old mother and grandmother and a child of God happy. From MO in the USA . Have a blessed and safe day everyone.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you for your lovely message full of wisdom. I (Adine) always knew my granny prayed for me and miss her and her prayers. Please keep us all in your prayers as we can’t do it on our own 🙏🏼

Gracias ADINE , gracias Señor Herman , Gracias Señor Tigere por comprender a la pequeña Elefantita KHANYISA 🐘 que está pasando momentos interesantes con la Manada de elefantes de JABULANI Ustedes siempre serán las personas más importantes para Khanyisa 🐘 Ella llegará a Su 🏡Orfanato porque es donde ella pasó sus tres años al cuidado del personal trabajador y cuidadores

[@marjoriehopkins1630]

She is just hysterically funny! She certainly has a mind of her own! I love to watch her and all her antics!

[@zamzamahmed8139]

It isn't so symbolic that on her last day at the orphanage it is tigere who will care for her led her out of the orphanage area and also her playing with sand mound feels as if she is sensing she will not be back at the orphanage but will be part of the big school now.😅👏👏

[@carolynminter7839]

Oh I love seeing our pretty pink Princess. Thank you so much Adina and ALL of the carriers who took such good care of our baby girl. She is making a big girl step and we are so very proud of her. 😘 😘 😘 💕 🥰 🐘

[@gabe-po9yi]

Bubi looking out for Fishan since his injury - what a kind-hearted soul she is. It just kind of blows my mind that an adult female would do that with a mature bull, but then again there’s no other Jabulani-like herd in the world, and because of the elements that make it unique, behaviors and characteristics are exposed that’ve never been seen. And it’s so awesome to witness.

[@aililunta581]

you have put into words what i have thought for several years. the time, the care, the mindset of everyone, the love.

[@laylam3042]

Khanyisa is so much bigger, she is smart and most likely knows a change is in the air. ❤

[@shannondominguez9725]

Oh baby girl I’d definitely say she senses something different is coming elephants are so intelligent and in tune with emotion. It’s always beautiful seeing Khanyisa meeting up with the herd in the morning heading out for another day of adventure but it’ll be wonderful to see her waking up with them every day sharing the same space with the family who’s accepted her loved her and helped her heal right where she belongs and as it’s always meant to be. These past few years have been quite the ride with beautiful Braveheart full of touch and go moments joy laughter and a ton of love thank you for giving her a fighting chance and helping her become the little girl we love so much;I’m proud to have followed her from the start now onto the next chapter of Sunshines amazing journey.🐘💖☀️

Ben detto cara Shannon.

[@claraedouwesdekker6389]

I know I am being a silly old granny, but I am feeling quite sad that our little pink baby has grown up, and will now join her herd - overjoyed of course that she has survived, thrived, because of the wonderful care of everybody. But her sheep sleeping partners, her gate and door opening attempts ….. it makes me quite nostalgic that that is now no more. I am just a sentimental old lady, I know. But having watched her every day from the start, I am scared that she will now dissolve into the herd. Thank you Adine and all the carers for what you have done. Not just for little Sunshine, but for all these magnificent animals in your care. May you be abundantly blessed. 🙏🏻❤️

I noticed that too, very wary , smelling, hesitant I think there must had been a predator around earlier or one in the distance

[@zamzamahmed8139]

Oh lovely baby khanysa. Just because she is big bodied it doesnt mean she is not a baby. Our princess is always cheerful and beautiful MashAllah. Saw you as a pink injured baby who used to get excited just seeing the mob or run around the homestead whilst it was cleaned to get to mischief not knowing all the poo you were playing with as baby were the poo of your future herd. So yes you belong with them and Adine and the carers truly love you because real love also means letting go when it is time. New chapter begins from 1st of november. Lots of love to all of you at HERD ❤🏆🏆🏆

[@elainepeterson475]

[@carolinamoreno7372]

Our little Meisiekind certainly has a will of her own. She's a feisty, independent over-achiever who's gonna do just great given the time and patience it'll take. After watching all these videos, it seems to me that elephants like to have some type of daily routine, just like it is with many of us humans. We're betting here in ChiTown that Meisiekind is going to do just fine.

[@ccasey1904]

I find it amazing that elephants get so excited about rain and water and mud and dirt! It reminds me ALOT like little kids almost!

What a milestone! She’s overcome SO much over the years with her indomitable spirit & the care, love & dedication of everyone at HERD!❤ Much RESPECT to Tigere!!! It’s an honor to witness your skills! The respect, love & trust the elephants show for you is beautiful. You’ve clearly earned it. 😍🐘💕

[@susandoerr3896]

it's been a pleasure watching her grow up. thank you.

[@r.g.o3879]

This breaks my heart, it has really been important to me to watch this poor little baby not much bigger than common house dog when she arrived and now she's grown so big and strong and full of life. God bless Adine and all the carers for their dedication and hard work. The herd is so amazing and beautiful and so intelligent. God bless all who are involved and helped in any way they could, and I hope people will still contribute and help out that way. I am 63 and disabled and haven't had anything yet to give by I will do so as soon as I can as there is still so much that needs doing and so many that need aid sadly there will always be some poor elephants injured or made orphan by the cruelty of man. I was a soldier once and wish I could have helped to defend them when I was younger and able. Not to sound violent because there has been so much violence in that whole region which is why some of the original herd had to flee the former Rhodesia south into South Africa to find a safer place. It's sad to realize that if strife or war comes again they are at the end of the road, there is no where else farther south for them to flee to. One day I hope there will be peace and safety for the Rhinos and Elephants and other at risk animals and for the humans who look after and protect them. Hopefully if something bad happens there will be men and women willing and able to protect our animal brothers and sisters as we truly are all related. God bless all

[@patricialease18]

I feel Khanyisa feels something is changing. Even the other females feel it. They may or not know the specifics however they are sensitive to their environment. Happy for baby Khanyisa and sad, she's growing up.

[@ToddDouglasFox]

She’s about twice as big as she was when I started watching! She still views herself as a kid and that is exactly right. We are not losing a child, we are gaining a full fledged herd member.

Everyone in the Herd is a beautiful being inside and out... such a majestic creature ✨️ and what makes this group of elephants so beautiful the most is the calm and kind soul each one has. The size is enormous as the largest of all land mammals, but their sensitivity is very precise and gentle, their deep caring for each other and especially for little ones are incredibly heartwarming. ❤️ I'm super happy for kahnyisa, our beautiful beloved baby, 💗 that she is now an official member of the Herd. Deep gratitude to Adine and all the dedication and tireless hard work of each member of The Herd🙏💖👍😭💜🙌🤩 now our beloved baby Kahnyisa is graduating from the orphanage and join the Herd to continue her journey to grow into a healthy 💙 and wise 💚, loving 💗Magnificent 💖 adult elephant 🐘 among all the majestic Jabulani Herd.

Will Khanysia Cry Herself-to-Sleep each night as she "sniffs the air" for Adine's Loving-Gentle-Touch & the Soothing Lullabies that were so instrumental in healing Khanyisa's Broken-Heart and Deep Physical Wounds, and that gave her "a reason to go on living" after the traumatic, and unbearable-loss of her Birth-Mother....??? 💋💋😇..

What a cool video of our sweet Pinky girl Khanyisa 🥰❤️🐘 Just as curious as ever in the beginning of the video and it had to take two of her Carers to get her moving and she was holding trunk to hand with one and I thought that was just so sweet that she loves being with those two Carers.😊❤️🐘 Then it was cool to see all the elephants just taking a leisurely walk and not in any hurry to get wherever they were going too.😂🥰🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 The two moms with Khanyisa and I believe that Fishon was with them too was a nice sight too.🥰 But, what I loves seeing and it’s all the time is when the whole herd family were all together and it was the coolest sight to see too. Watching them all walk together or behind each other.😊🥰❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 I know it’s night time there in South Africa and I do hope that our sweet Khanyisa is doing good with her Elephant roomies and they the sounds of the outside don’t make her nervous too. If I may ask, when she was inside at night, were the windows open and could she hear the sounds of the outside? Like the wild animals that pass by? I have worried about her lol day and am hoping she will be fine sleeping out in the open with Fishon and a few other elephant family members. Thanks for an awesome video and the dirt mound for her to sleep up against, Khanyisa sure looked like it was more of a play box then anything.😂 Is she aware since she is still young of what it’s used for? Is that a natural instinct of an elephant? Thanks and God bless you all humans and all the elephants too!! I s Nd them love, hugs, and many of God’s protection and blessings too.

The slowness of the herd might be from their sense that something is afoot. Their pick up human emotions like love and aggression, so perhaps they sense more nuanced emotions from the coming change. I know I felt a little choked up seeing Khanyisa leave the orphanage for the last time. 🤞🐘💖🙏🥰
