Beautiful! 🩷🩷

[@hannaczarnecka4389]

Adine 💖💕💗💞💓❤

[@Claire11elliott]

Those ellie kisses from Khanyisa looked so uncomfortable for Adine, but were obviously very comforting for traumatised little Khanyisa. It takes a special person to make the sacrifices Adine makes. May this human matriach be blessed!

[@marpro765]

Khanyisa was such a cute and adorable little baby. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rennierad]

Your motherly love is beautiful. ❤💕

[@maddiem1030]

Khanyisa was so adorable then as she is now. Happy Birthday Adine 🎉

[@brijeet8553]

SWEET BABY KHANYISA ALWAYS❤

[@wendyjack4532]

Happy Birthday to Adine. The love and devotion that Adine has given to Khanyisa over the years has greatly contributed towards Khanyisa's sense of well being and her strong determination to survive and thrive.

Happy Birthday Adine💗🎉🎂🍰🎂🍰

[@mortalclown3812]

So much bravery in that little body and soul. We all hold this precious baby elephant in our hearts - and those of you at HERD who fought so hard for her especially in these early days. Sending much love to her carers and an extra big hug for you, Adine, for your legacy at Hoedspruit, S.A. Paz y luz, everyone.

[@speakforyourself8207]

Happy Birthday Adine...wonderful intimate moments!

[@beverlykeys4330]

Happy Birthday Adine! You, Khanyisa all the Carers, Lammie, all the Ellies in Herd have given all of us the most wonderful gifts of all.

[@sharonj.2865]

God bless Adine and all the devoted Carers who saw this precious soul through some very difficult times. I wish every animal had such guardian angels. She was such a funny little girl and now, turning into a big, beautiful elephant thanks to the wonderful humans who loved her. Hard to believe now, how small she really was! ❤ Those blankets!

[@cattailer1077]

OK I’m not crying. Nope not crying. OK I’m crying but they're tears of joy. She was so tiny. The love that is exchanged between Adine and our Sunshine girl is almost unbearable in a good way. Thanks so much, all you amazing carers of this beautiful Herd!💖

[@mchapman1928]

I feel the same way. They are beautiful animals.

[@cemarie5471]

Ohhh this twirls and melts my heart all at once I looove you baby Kanyisha and Adine. Adine you are (all the carers) are an earth angel❤❤

[@ronascott4449]

I still cringe when seeing her fresh wounds. I'm so grateful to see her healed, loved, and living her best life with her 🐘 and human herd. Thanks for sharing and for all the wonderful work you all do for these magnificent creatures.

[@felicitysummers9140]

Happy birthday Adine thanks for taking us down memory lane, to see Khanyisa so tiny slowly but surely she knew you Adine and the carers loved this lil pink ellie, for her to be what she is today after the trauma she went thru is a real testament to true genuine love and care. Enjoy your day today Adine with your HERD! 🎉🥂🍾🎂🥳😊💖

[@laurelbozman6997]

Such sweet memories

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

Rinnovo gli Auguri di Buon Compleanno alla Adorata Adine che svolge la sua vita in funzione dei suoi amati elefanti con figli e staff al seguito,i ricordi di Khanyisa mi sono impressi nella mente da quando è arrivata a Herd e non li cancellerò mai mai,la piccola pink ha avuto grande coraggio e forza di volontà per vivere, supportata molto dall'affetto di mamma Adine che è stata in parte una forte e prodigiosa cura per la sua completa guarigione, grazie del video,grazie dei bei ricordi.

[@RC-vb1hz]

Some difficult moments to watch in video but ultimately the outcome is a beautiful Khanyisa.

[@tammyarmstrong7230]

Happy Birthday Adine. Wishing you many blessings throughout your year!

[@Lovelyday137]

Goosebumps and happy tears 💓.

[@kp8381]

The love from Adine, the vet team and all the carers saved our precious baby K. Thank you to all and also to those who donate to this wonderful organization. 🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️

[@Caprica-od6oc]

Happy Birthday Adine!. It's not too difficult to see why there is that special bond between Adine and Khanyisa. K was a very traumatize baby and of course Adine is a Mother. Just the perfect convention. The mother instinct came instantly and created the perfect bond between them. We have witnessed the amazing evolution from a hounded and scare baby to a beautiful young elephant with tons of energy growing and protected by her herd

[@Dune137]

Precious baby Khanyisa! I will love her forever but boy do I miss those days when she was just a little thing, and Lammie would keep her company. Sweet gitls. You guys are wonderful people. ❤

[@janparish7895]

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

Khanyisa has defied all odds but she had a first class maternal love from Adine, supported by a Team of super motivated Carers and above all entirely devoted to this little pink Ellie and not forgetting maternal love from Lammie and mama Lundi Love is still in the air🎵🎶

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

[@claritadeluna6609]

How very beautiful, Adine. It seems like old times, but really it isn't any time at all. You were such a good mummy to baby Khanysia; it is no wonder she adores and trustes you! Thank you for sharing such beautiful moments with the baby sunshine!

[@Clodi19]

I have no word strong enough to tell to everyone how much this love is awesome !! and sharing this video for your birthday Adine ! what a gift ! that makes me cry 🥲 this is so loving !

Adine you did a miracle, you are an elephant mother ! wish you the best with your baby love !! forever 💕🐘💕🐘🥰🤗❤️🇫🇷

[@dorothywestcott2408]

Right from the beginning Khaynisa 🐘 has been Adine's baby and to Khaynisa 🐘 Adine as been her mommy. I had happy tears of joy watching this. We forget just how tiny Khaynisa 🐘 was. What a beautiful treat today celebrating Adine's Birthday. Happy Birthday Adine. Love from Florida ❤️🐘❤️🎉🎁🥳🎂❤️

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

🥰👍

[@jknetsYT]

That bond is going to last a lifetime and beyond. Khanyisa will always see Adine as her human mom. The one who showed kindness and love when she was young. We've seen how Jabulani was also cared for when he was so young. He is like family to Adine and vice versa. Elephants have this great memory. They never ever forget. What I love about this video is that although we see it it day to day videos, this video is so special as Adine beautiful kind heart was highlighted in this video. Thank you Adine and carers for all that you do for this amazing girl and for the amazing HERD. 🙏❤️

[@mortalclown3812]

I love the videos of Jabulani meeting baby Khanyisa. It's like he knew exactly how she felt. His gentle ways as she navigated becoming one of the herd was awesome to behold. Love this community, too - and to see how it's grown!

[@jknetsYT]

@@mortalclown3812 Same! Jabulani knew and felt how she felt. It was so beautiful to see how he cared for her and understood her. Jabulani has a special place in my heart. He's a kind bull. 🙏❤️

[@renecg796]

Happy Birthday Adine, you are a very special person. Just look how far khanyisa has come ❤❤❤

oh this baby was so hurt, sometimes i forget dear Lord she must had been in so much pain, and she NEVER lost her spunk, never lost her happiness nor will to live, khanyisa is a shining light to us all and if we got off our high and mighty horses we could ALL learn from elephants they are so much better than us

[@helene48]

Adorable bébé Khanyisa. J'espère qu'il y aura d'autres bébés au sein de HERD à l'avenir.❤🦣

[@terryheatwole6153]

I also wish for more little ones, but I never ever want them to lose their mothers, so I am happy to enjoy Jabulani’s Herd!

[@janeingram7331]

Just lovely to watch.

[@gr8fuldeb699]

She was so little (especially that precious trunk)and the love y’all gave her made who she is today. You genuinely saved her life and she knows it. Thank you all!!!

[@cathyhenley8953]

No doubt Adine saved this little girls life and it was a long hard fight. Many videos I watched as Adine spent countless nights singing her to sleep . They have a bond much like human babies and their primary caregiver. No matter how many interact with the baby it’s going to run to the one they feel safe with and that’s Adine .

[@ChasingRainbows67]

If this isn't love, then I don't know what is!! ❤ This baby is the sweetest, just like Adine. ❤🐘❤🐘❤

[@vea-vea]

Очень доброе видео, спасибо ❤️🐘❤️

Adine needs a reward for what she does. So much sacrifice, I look up to you adine.

[@Go-tee71]

A wee baby with horrific injuries, lost her Mum, her family & everything she knew & trusted, yet she had such a strong will & zest for life! What an honour, privilege & a joy it must be to have shared her journey & been integral to her survival & recovery 🥰🙏❤️🐘

[@donaldscheer5206]

Adine! Your An Angel Sent To These Elephants!

[@terryheatwole6153]

It seemed Khanyisa wanted very much to be held in Adine’s lap. 🥰
