Elephants smelling Lente's arm - picking up the area she had an injection.

Join Adine and her daughter Lente, for one of their recent afternoon walks with Khanyisa and her herd.
Watch the beginning closely, as first Kumbura and then Zindoga and Setombe gently smell Lente's arm. She had just recently had her wisdom teeth taken out, and they could smell where she had an injection. They indeed are incredible animals!
The rest of the walk was very relaxed and calm as they trailed slowly through the bush. As usual Lundi, Kumbura, Timisa and Bubi are never too far away from little Khanyisa.
Look out for an amazing close up of Khanyisa as she suckles from Lundi. This is purely for comfort as the cows are not lactating as they are on contraception. Khanyisa still relis on our team for her milk formula.

How could one not be humbled being around these beautiful animals.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Scenes like this show just how much their people mean to them in their hearts. Seeing them jostle for position, Tokwe and Sebakwe - giant leaders that they are - hurrying over to get their people love. Little Timisa maneuvering her way in to make sure she gets her fair share of affection, lol. Adine’s hand caressing a wrinkled trunk so deserving of our love, care and protection. Such a wonderful sight, all of this.

[@shivipinakin5857]

Come to think of it.. Such large animals with so much strength and those tusks and still so gentle and calm around humans.. I have a new respect for the intelligence and elegance of elephants because of your videos. Thank You for enlightening me! 💗❤

I think you would really enjoy the book "Life, Love, and Elephants: An African Love Story" by Dame Daphne Sheldrick. It explores in great depth the topic of elephant's abilities and it is a good story too.

[@animalsareloveandhappiness4505]

they are gorgeous, loving, astonishing soft gentle giants.

[@Odehyah951]

Not so soft….their skin can feel like cement but beautiful, kind, loving animals. When I met Sebakwe, Somopane and Jabulani, they let me rub their faces, hold their tusks and talk baby talk to them. My heart gets full whenever I think of the experience. Just incredible.

It's so sweet to see how the herd protects her. How compassionate that the cows let her suckle for comfort! She is loved, and she knows it! It is amazing to see how you interact with these gentle giants. I do hope people realize the difference between this kind of behaviour, and how wild elephants behave. Say you're on safari or encounter one somewhere else, they would not behave this way and you wouldn't dare to get so close. Sometimes city folks don't know any better. Thank you so much for rescuing these intelligent, compassionate, beautiful elephants. ❤🐘❤

[@chris_iapetus]

There is always at least one elephant watching Khanyisa carefully, following and paying close attention. The fascinating thing is that who the designated Khanyisa watcher is, changes very frequently, in a way that seems unmistakably organized .... as one watcher moves off to do something else, someone else is coming right up to take their place immediately, yet i can't see any communication. i know they communicate subsonically and in other ways we don't detect; my point is, it's so subtle, constant, seemingly nearly failsafe. There is such a clever system they have, and they are all clued in and taking part when needed, without complaint or laziness or whatever. Who or what system determines who is next in line for calf duty ? Is this unique to this patched-together group, does it differ from group to group, or do they have a universal system ? Just ... so fascinating. They are an impressive species.

[@flxnhrd]

Great observation.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Maybe they just took the duty voluntarily to relieve another? When they were by the dam, and Tokwe was with Khanyisa who was interested in some bush, Tokwe wanted to go to the water and mud too - she even shook her head as being unsatisfied - then Klaserie just came from the water and as soon as she got close, Tokwe went to the water. Was it Klaseries's turn? I think though she just volunteered. But Kumbura is in big sis duty all the time. And she came to accomppany Klaserie too that day by the dam. Maybe she didn't trust Klaserie was experienced enough.

[@chris_iapetus]

I have to thank the universe for elephants, and the internet, because I would never have been able to see these intelligent, amazing, caring, animals. Watching a herd accepting a new baby elephant into their herd, after she was orphaned, they literally all came running to the paddock to see and smell and greet her. It always amazes me how arrogant we humans are when you slow down to watch and see that we are not the inhabitants of the planet who think and love and fear, and mourn. These animals are majestic, and anyone who would harm them are every bit as evil as someone who would murder a human being.
