Elefanten am Pool

Ein kleiner Überfall der Dickhäuter zur Mittagszeit im Camp Somalisa. Im Laufe von nur zwei Tagen hatten sie ca. 15 cm Wasser aus dem Pool gesaugt.

Wow! They peacefully had their sip and then went on their way. GOD BLESS THE ELEPHANTS!!!

[@alethabrown1427]

They're so quiet and organized, such beautiful creatures.

[@GTAdkdk]

Wow! high quality, no disturbance, no murmuring, I just saw a bunch of intelligent people quietly observing this very unique and rare oppurtunity! thanks for the amazing experience!

[@hansj0610]

Hello Daniel Hsu, you are right. That noise often comming from people commenting everything disturbs the atmosphere. The people here were so quiet probably because there is something majestic comming and the protection is more psychologic. So no noise and no move. Thanks for the comment. Greetings from Germany.

[@AmieDeLalla]

This brought such joy to my heart. Elephants are a passion of mine and I'm always hunting for vids on KZbin and this one is at the top of my list. I really love this. Great video. Thank you.

[@hansj0610]

Hello, not many people found this little video. If you ever have the opportunity to visit that camp in simbabwe it is worth every day. It has only six tents. No fences. That makes it quite exciting. If you go out you need to watch first what´s arround. The elephants are also walking amoung the tents. It is a question of respecting each other. When I arrived late in the dark I was walking on soft ground. At daylight I saw it was the dry dung of the elephants which was distributed and made to ways. Regards Hans-J.

[@AmieDeLalla]

hansj0610 I'm so happy I did find it and that you captured it because it sure made my day. I very much would love to go. I know there is one like this In Botswana too that has thatched roof suites for families and such. It is my dream to visit these great places and have these experiences. Thanks again.

[@dominiqueschaffner308]

Wow...this is how we always should see these beautiful creatures...

[@badgyrl310]

I love how these resorts build these swimming pools for customers, but the elephants basically just use it for drinking water.

[@kitkatinthehat]

They are soo precious ❤

[@hansj0610]

There is a second version. A bit longer (5 min) and more from the environment if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrHeWV9e5WNn8U

[@elainelblais3201]

How wonderful. What a privilege to witness such a marvelous sight , even secondhand. Thank you for sharing.

[@helenhoward4082]

Wow, these majestic creatures are just amazing!!!❤ What an AWESOME experience this must have been for you all.

Awesome, beautiful, heartwarming sight, thank you for sharing.

[@hansj0610]

I published a new cutted video of 5 minutes of this scene on another channel showing a bit more of the environment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrHeWV9e5WNn8U Greets

[@riberadelplata3159]

oh my god! who invited this whole family to my pool?

[@magsa8769]

Wonderful to see a breeding herd like this. I hope they are all still safe from Mugabe and his Chinese business partners!

[@sandrayoung1849]

Mags A lovely video . Seems like the eyes have also developed trust in humans to drink so freely

[@mica923]

that was amazing! so beautiful!😁😄

[@AsimKhan-iy2nk]

Hats off to you guys

[@valentinapetrova2432]

Какие умненькие и культурненькие. Ведут себя прилично: понимают , что в гостях, хотя могли разнести все в пух и прах.

[@hansj0610]

You are right. It is a respecting each other. They know it's theirs. But one should never forget, they are still wild animals.

[@andrewromero5008]

That would be the highlight of my trip.

[@hansj0610]

In deed. There is also another version of 5 minutes if you are interested. Same search (elefanten am pool) but with a green text "unreal animals" in the thumbnail picture. Greets

[@liseouellet9705]

Fantastic ...😊

[@brianmoore1820]

Splendid! That has to be the best place to get such pictures and movies.

[@hansj0610]

Hi, You are right. I great location. There is also a 5 minute version at : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrHeWV9e5WNn8U I have saved a link of a reportage about that camp to get some background information. The elephants are very respectful. They know it's theirs. If they walk amoung the tents they destroy nothing. But they are still wild anymals. One should never forget that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKK4qZSppdGLh80 It starts at 02:40. The explanation about the pool is at 05:50 Greets

[@josephastier7421]

Water level is a couple centimeters lower after they are done

[@annaemilia2505]

Habt ihr auch gesehen das der ganz linke Elefant ein Loch im rechten Ohr hat? Sieht so sauber aus......war das eine Kugel oder was kann das sonst sein?

[@daniellel.4774]

OMG OMG OMG, lucky people, this is grande!!!

[@2dasimmons]

Poor ELEPHANTS! It's sad to know this pool water is BETTER THAN THE WATER THEY'RE GETTING IN THE WILD:/

[@hansj0610]

Keep in mind what we see is the dry season. In the wet season everything is green and the natural waterholes like the one in the background are well filled.

[@ChrisSing]

Ich dachte immer, Elefanten trinken durch den Rüssel, stimmt ja garnicht.

[@hansj0610]

Das stimmt. Würde wohl mit dem Schlucken nicht klappen. Deshalb saugen sie erstmal und befördern es dann in den Mund. Sind aber sicherlich einige Liter. Grüße

[@deesandman3992]

Again was there chlorine in that pool.. There so thirsty. Sad if there was.....

[@hansj0610]

Of course not. It's not in the interests of the camp operators to harm the environment or the animals.

Hopefully there are no chemicals in the water.

[@hansj0610]

For sure not. No chlorine. It's not in the interest of the camp operators to harm the animals or the environment. Greets.

[@StrawberryCream78]

wasnt afraid to be attacked

[@roybish]

Who knows about the origin of the holes in the ears of some of them?

[@uwn7013]

Your clip deserves more views and likes, if only you add English in the title.

[@hansj0610]

Hello, Thanks for your positive opinion. This is my private channel where I uploaded just for friends. A bit experimental. I did'nt expect it would be found. I uploaded a 5 minute version on "rumble" last february. They host their own channel and placed it also there. You can find it if you search at KZbin for "elephants at pool". But here is the direct link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrHeWV9e5WNn8U Greets

[@jateenjain]

Which hotel was you staying

[@hansj0610]

Hi, It is the Somalisa Camp in the Hwange National Park. Today it doesn't look like in the video anymore. They have renewed the entire camp. It is more luxurious now. Elephants and even lions may move freely through the camp. There are no fences.

[@remiremsar5946]

Wait, the chlorine won't make them any harm, right?

[@hansj0610]

You assume something that isn't there. Of course there is no chlorine in the water. It's not in the interests of the camp operators to harm the animals or the environment. The camp is as ecological as possible. No diesel generators somewhere running for example. Electricity is solar powered. The water they use is cleaned in several stages up to drinking water quality and pumped back into the pool as well as the natural water hole you see in the background. Greets

[@user-lt4bj2oi5e]

Why no fruits?

[@christoperfleming6832]

I wonder why the elephant go near people?

[@hansj0610]

I answered many serious questions on another channel which is more easy to find. The video is also new cutted to 5 minutes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrHeWV9e5WNn8U But nevertheless. I uploaded this video because it shows nicely mutual trust and respecting each other. The elephants also walk carefully among the tents. They seem to know it's theirs. Greets

[@soerenhennig5222]

Heißt du etwa Hans Jürgen?

[@hansj0610]

Das stimmt. Hier auf meinem privaten Channel ist nicht so viel los wie auf dem Rumble. Daher kann ich das ruhig beantworten. Aber poste es lieber nicht auf Rumble als Kommentar. Man weiß nie was sich für schlechte Menschen im Indernet rumtreiben und nur nach Angriffspunkten suchen. Hatte mich auch gewundert dass du offenbar deinen vollen Namen angegeben hast. Würde ich nicht machen.

[@justint8851]

I wound if when they suck water into there trunks dose it sting.

Das ist nicht so einfach. Jedenfalls nicht ohne seine Identität wie E-Mail oder Telefonnummern preiszugegeben. Ich merke schon dass dich der Verlust eines Familienmitglieds noch beschäftigt. Das ist leider unvermeidbar und hat mich auch schon ähnlich getroffen. Bitte antworte nicht durch Öffnen eines neuen Threads auf der Hauptebene sondern lieber als Antwort zur Antwort. Dann ist es wenigstens etwas versteckt.

[@fredcool7081]

i feel sorry for the elephants, they have to come there to drink in stress and fear of human, but on the other hand its better than dying of thirst

[@hansj0610]

I don´t see any stress symptoms. There is also a natural waterwhole in the background (not visible in this part of the movie) and they prefere to come to the human made pool. They can choose what they like. I was at the same lodge a second time half a year ago. The natural waterwhole was completely filled up and looked more like a little lake. But they were still drinking from the pool. A stress situation would be if they are hunted and killed by poachers. This is fortunately not the case.
