Baby Elephant Khanyisa Tackles Timisa as Jealousy Strikes!

[@robinashley2355]

I love watching Khanyisa growing up. The stages she goes through, just like a human baby with siblings. Thank You to ALL the carers and to You Adine for all the love and attention You share the love of Your 4 footed babies💜💜

Blissful!

I’m glad Timisa is patient with her bratty little sister. ❤

I love how she crosses her hind legs. I've really enjoyed watching her grow up ❤❤❤. Thank you all for caring for the HERD❤❤❤. This is so cute

[@marjoriehopkins1630]

Two sweet DETERMINED ellies! Khanyisa loves Adine so very much!--She is determined and doesn't let her "smallness" get in the way at all! --And timisa seems to not give in much at all. Very determined ellies! When Zindoga shows up Khaynisa is like, "I'm just getting a bite of grass here! I'm not being bad!" I love how the elder elephants come to make sure everything is okay! Love them all so much! Thanks for sharing and not being jealous with your time with them!

🐘❣I thought the baby pandas holding & drinking their bottles was the cutest thing ever, but Khanyisa may just be more adorable! Then she rests the sweet potato on her trunk while wagging her tail & crossing her legs- help I am having an adorableness overload! So sweet❣🐘...whoa, Khanyisa is being a cheeky toddler today. This is the first time I've seen her behave in this way. Timisa has some great tail movement, "Don't touch my tail!"

[@shoshannahorton7461]

Poor Timisa. She can’t understand why the pink princess gets all the yummy snacks. I’m with her…

[@keyappaloosa7989]

Yes poor Timisa! K is way too spoiled and this fight shouldn't have been let go so long! Adine spoils k so much it's sad. Yes k had a bad start but so did the others! Adine should have taken this to heart for timi! This is total bull! I understand that k needs extra but timi wants treats and attention from adine too but gets like a quick hi then is ignored. It's sad that adine won't give any of the other elephant's any attention like she does k. Very upsetting to see timi get one tiny little treat I guess so k can have more while out in the reserve

[@CANM-hv4ki]

​@@keyappaloosa7989 this may be a late comment, but we share the same sentiments. It's difficult to play favorites among these ellies, but I love Timi's personality more than Khanyisa in this video and in others where she bullied her older sister. I am glad though Khanyisa is showing more maturity now being Baby Phabeni's older sister. This may have just been a part of growing up.🙏🐘❤

[@helenestrada1913]

Her name is Khanyisa not K

[@gr8fuldeb699]

Khanyisa and her crossing legs will always make me smile. And the jealousy that appeared kinda shocked me. She was definitely telling Tamisa to go away lol. Then to see all the adults to come check on the two babies was actually adorable. I feel they are all telepathic somehow.

[@mortalclown3812]

I noticed that Timisa has that fluid present on her head that's there during emotional moments, too. Aww, I hope her feelings aren't hurt as Khanyisa figures out that there is plenty of love to go around. How wonderful to see Jabulani and others move in to settle things down, as well. Wow, they really are a family. 🐘🐘🐘❤ What a fascinating video, Adine ~ Thank you for sharing this with us. Sending much love and angels of calm to these dear girls. Paz y luz to all.

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

[@debbiewalker2477]

Sweet little Timisa just wanted a snack. Khanyisa has shown aggression towards Timisa a few times. I remember when timisa was eating the bark from a tree and Khanyisa came and tried to take it right out of her mouth. That went on for awhile and Timisa remained calm and retrained. Khanyisa is a little fighter and maybe a bit spoiled, but she's learning and growing. Love all these elephants and watching the behaviors of these gentle giants is such a learning curve for all of us.

[@catherine59226]

Happy Saturday everyone! It’s always so enjoyable watching our favorite elephant family! ❤️👍🏻 Our pink princess is so darn cute! 💖

[@anneterry3660]

A regular viewer of HERD, I now have a interest in elephants. I very much like the carers and appreciate the workings of the elephants mind and body. I love seeing the carers with the elephants, even Khanyisa can shade her carer now. Reading about elephants does not compare with the videos towards bringing understanding, admiration, and wanting to hear more about the society of elephants plus I loved the dung beetle lesson. I have posted some excepts that help me look at the herd with an even more admiring mind, these are a few characteristics, among many--elephants being complex: Elephants purr just like cats! Not only do they communicate through trumpet sounds, snorts, roars, cries and purring, elephants pick up sounds of rumbles with their feet and they can hear communications over long distances though the vibrations that come up through their feet and into their ears. Elephants have deep family bonds. The herd is led by the matriarch (the female head of a family.) Calves are raised by the entire herd. When males are about 12 years old, they leave the herd to live on their own while the females stay with family herd. Females will often stay with their mothers their whole lives so elephants often become great-grandmothers. Elephants are highly sensitive and caring animals, much like humans. If a baby elephant cries, the herd will touch and caress the baby with their trunks to soothe it. They are highly intelligent animals with complex emotions, feelings, compassion and self-awareness (elephants are one of very few species to recognize themselves in a mirror!). Like humans, elephants mourn the death of their love ones. They gently touch and caress the skull of deceased loved ones with their trunks, and they will pause for several minutes of silence in the place where their loved one dies, even several years after their death. An elephant never forgets. Playing in the water isn't just fun for elephants, it's good for them inside and out! When they're able to float, the buoyancy provides their leg joints a much needed break. Mud acts as a sunscreen, bug repellent and moisturizer, which is helpful because elephants have extremely sensitive skin. Elephants aren't actually scared of mice, they're scared of bees! African farmers raise bees to keep the elephants away from their crops, the all-natural elephant repellent. arapahoelibraries.org/blogs/post/15-reasons-why-elephants-are-the-best/

Spoiled Baby Syndrome😂 seems like Khanyisa has always been feisty, probably what helped her survive. I noticed they both had that secretion they get when they are agitated sometimes. Timisa is so patient with the little madam, a wonderful glimpse into their lives, thank you all❤

[@IlGattonero13]

Thank you for showing us all sides of the elephants’ behavior. How eye-opening to watch Khanyisa assert herself rather aggressively with her friend, and to see Timisa’s tolerant response. Everything is a learning experience for the little one, as she tests her strength and understands the consequences. What are those facial secretions? Are they a response to the emotion of the moment?

[@woodstream6137]

I noticed that too. In mating season its called musht(sp?). Easy sign that the bulls can be unpredictable. But it looks like it happens under certain stresses too.

[@nancyevans2586]

Secretions are caused from their emotions anything from angry to happy too stressed but that's usually one secretions from elephants occur

[@shoshannahorton7461]

Thank you! I was wondering why they looked, "wet," in the same places. Excuse my ignorance, please 😕💁

[@IlGattonero13]

Did a quick search and learned that these are temporal gland secretions. The underlying causes are not completely understood but seem to be related to heightened emotion, including stress and arousal.

Oh dear, oh dear, sibling rivalry seems to be a thing no matter who and where 😂 Little Miss Pinky has quite the feisty demeanour, and despite her sweet patience, good on Timisa for not backing down.

[@dianawebb2799]

One can never tire of these delightful and precious Elephants. They are SO INCREDIBLE and their personalities are absolutely extraordinary! It amazes me and delights me at the same time. I don't wish to condone little Miss K's behavior but, I am speechless that they have these depths of emotions. It touches me and makes me that much angrier of people whom mean them harm. They are exhibiting human emotions and how horrifying to know they suffer evil treatment by poachers, etc. It is heartbreaking for me to know not only Elephants but, so many helpless animals suffer at the hands of mankind. Animals are a gift from God Our Creator. I thank you Adine and all the wonderful and compassionate Carers that not only LOVE the Elephants but, the ELEPHANTS LOVE the Carers. The jealousy Khanyisa shows is no different than children fighting for attention in a human family. To know the Adult Elephants are keen in watching the youngsters and will come and break up any hostilities is again breathtaking. I so wish I had Bigger Aspirations when I was a young woman and the maturity and education to be a part of something like this. Being an American in the 60's women were taught strongly to follow in their Mothers footsteps and get married and have children. So sad that was our main direction and even sadder that I didn't have the unction to pursue other more worldly goals! My deepest appreciation to those that dedicate their lives to this ambition and lifestyle. I Truly believe working with animals on this level humbles you and makes you a better human being. Love to All!! To Adine and the Organization, the Carers and The Herd! God Bless you all.❤🙏❤🙏❤

[@nbk9372]

@@herdelephantorphanage As we all have come to know, Ellis are very smart, not only smart, but have a memory that is just beyond belief. If I recall correctly, Khanyisa, being ensnared in a trap, nearly starved her to death. I'm sensing that she treats every meal as if it could be her last. Losing her mother, being caught in a snare, and feeling the pain of hunger to the brink of starvation, is not something she wants to ever experience again. Hopefully, she will eventually grow out of it, but the traumatic experience has left its mark that hasn't moved to the back end of her memory bank. She's still healing.
