Elephants, Happy Elephants! Bonding Makes the Herd Stronger 🐘🩷

[@hajijahabbas188]

Thank you to Adine mother for saving these elephants and to Adine n the carers also for continuing this noble task. Happy birthday to sweet 17 girl Limpopo. Sunshine girl also looks cute today.

So relaxing to watch them 🐘🐘❤️❤️

God Bless your mother, Adine. She has given your family a wonderful, endearing gift. Happy birthday fellows. 🎉❤ from Florida

Hi khanisa ❤️. Happy birthday to the two beautiful elephants 🎈🎈🎈 having a party 🎉 this week. Baby khanisa is adorable

[@sharonj.2865]

Adine, you must be so proud of your Mother and now, you are continuing her work. Limpopo is very special, and Mambo is a wild boy! 🥰 What a blessing to walk along with such rich "elephant history" and a close knit family that you have helped create. As always, thanks to you and the wonderful Carers for being there for this precious herd! ❤

[@devianfan764]

❤. Yes, Adine's Mom should be very proud and happy to see the amazing work of love and compassion. Congratulations and blessings.🎉 I love all the herd, Adine and the carers, but there's special place in my ❤️ for Khanysia and Timida. Their playful bond is from heaven. 🤗

[@gledmonson2243]

I am so happy they are all happy, cared for and safe.❤

[@jeannejones5238]

I didn't know about your Mom saving the elephants also Adine. What a great heritage you and your family have. I know your son is going to school to become a wildlife vet. What is your daughter doing also? I can't remember. The love and joy that your family give these elephants is remarkable. I wish that I lived close enough to have their love the way they love you Adine! But alas I live in North Carolina in the US. Much Love to you Adine and all the carers and your family! I Love you all to the Moon and back!! Loves and Hugs to you all!❤❤ Jeanne Jones from NC. Could you tell us more about your Mom please!

[@shirleys2295]

It's so funny the way they cross their back legs while eating, oh so very relaxed. adorable

First let me say Happy Birthday Limpopo 🐘 and Mambo 🐘🎂🎂. I love how Adine has elephants 🐘 in a circle all around her. What a wonderful way to spend your day. I enjoyed you telling us a little bit about the original HERD 🐘 and how they came to be with you. What a great video today (not that all of the videos aren't great) but this one I really enjoyed. Have a wonderful day Jabulani HERD family ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

I love Mambo-like a human teenager.

[@denisewalberg5803]

A nice peaceful day with the Elephants. No drama, just them out in the bush snacking on their twigs & bark. Enjoying life to the fullest because they were given a second chance by a Human Angel. Now another Angel has stepped up to carry on the torch. Good hearted people in return makes for happy Elephants. ❤

[@KeyAppyMeganpr1]

You nailed it!!

[@juliesong4123]

Happy Birthday Linpopo and Mambo!!! ❤🎉🎂🐘🐘

[@wendyjack4532]

It is so uplifting to see the Herd elephants living such a good life were they are healthy and so well taken care of. They can roam about, forage for food, swim and cover their bodies with mud and dirt, and be elephants in their own right.

[@SonicImmersion_]

That's neat that some of the Carers moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe so that they could continue to help the same elephants after the herd was rescued from the former country to the latter. That shows just how much humans can bond with these incredibly intelligent and caring beings. Other than humans, primates, dolphins, and killer whales, elephants are one of the only species known to understand the abstract concept of having a "self". In experiments where animals are given mirrors to look at themselves, and a marking placed on the side of their head, such as a star shape, elephants were the only land animal other than primates who would adjust their gaze in the mirror to view the marking, and then use their arms (or in the case of elephants, their trunk) to touch the marking. This reaction indicates that elephants understand that their own reflection is of themself, and not some "other" elephant on the other side.

[@Odehyah951]

Most of the carers still have ties/families in Zimbabwe, I learned on my visit. They work 6 weeks and have 2 weeks off. On their 3 week time off they return to Zim.❤

[@gloriaduncan346]

Thank you. That was fascinating.

[@slomo1716]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Limpopo and Mambo, thank you both for giving us hours and hours of entertainment! I love to hear from Tigere, he is so knowledgeable about Elephants both anatomy and behaviour. Brilliant Man has my utmost respect! I'm now watching an older video from three years ago which mentions poachers. My question is why aren't the Carers carrying rifles or guns for protection, if they encounter poachers?

[@jknetsYT]

I always check if there's a new video. It's a great way to start my day. This is such a great video. Up close and great quality too. So much information provided which is amazing. Timisa seems to have had a growth spurt! She's so tall now. And ever so pretty ❤ Even Khanyisa has grown so much. Love to see all the dynamics in play. Thank you to Adine's mom for rescuing this HERD and thank you Adine and carers for caring for them. 🙏❤️

[@terryheatwole6153]

Jabulani’s Herd is one of the reasons I still like humans…thank you very much everyone who supports this important, compassionate work.

[@LtBRS]

It's always a pleasure seeing these wonderful creatures living their best lives in their given circumstances. Fish seems to be doing so much better after all the help he was given and the time he needed to recover.

[@alvexok5523]

These are some very happy simple beings, living in such bliss. These lucky elephants have a great life at the sanctuary, run by kind souls who make sure these phants continue their joyous existence

[@LtBRS]

@@alvexok5523 Given their qualified circumstances. Nonetheless, their souls, like all living beings, function with the inclinations as given of God, their species creator. It's why the bull, being a good normal bull, wondered-off. He has normal bull elephant inclinations to be a normal bull elephant, regardless of how kind and loving human keepers provide for most everything that he needs. Just like ALL wild animal scaled-back because of (A, B, C, D, etc, reasons) sanctuaries. The tension while being significantly reduced is never eliminated. It's why the keepers have to be very cautious. To a "granted" lesser degree, it's necessarily still a three sided (counting the circumference edge) coin.

[@Maria-ni4rc]

What a special story of a wonderful and caring soul, Ms. Lente, who rescued, and then gave a forever home to the innocent souls who faced being destroyed. And to learn their carers from Zimbabwe are still with them. How lucky are the elephants and carers to still be a part of each other's lives? Blessings to all for a safe, healthy, and wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the heads up about the farm in Zimbabwe. What a touching story, Adine. You come from a family dedicated to saving wildlife. That is awesome! I believe Lundi understood every word you spoke to her in Afrikaans about leaving that tree alone! LOL! Sweet and beautiful Timisa💞is getting bigger and much more confident! Mischievous Mambo gave our little Meisiekind n' bietjie druk!!!!! But, it didn't phase her because she has a lighthearted personality!

Mambo might not be the gentleman that Zindoga is, but I thought he was still gentle in the way he pushed her off. There didn't seem to be any malice in the action, just selfishness. He's probably got an appetite similar to my 4 boys when they were teenagers. Growing boys can throw down at the dinner table!😂
