A Day with Orphan Elephant Calf Khanyisa and the Jabulani HERD - shared by Adine

[@sharihorting4560]

My favorite part of each post is watching Khanyisa run to meet the herd. Bounce, bounce, bounce....such a happy girl❤

I was just thinking how amazing and rare it is that we get to see Adine walk amongst these huge, majestic elephants, and that they were being so gentle and careful not to harm her when our little Khanyisa just comes barging through, headbutting poor Adine from behind. Admittedly, I went back to watch the expression on poor Adine's face at 09:19 more than once. 😅 Thanks for shooting this on your phone, Adine, and giving us such a privileged insight into the herd. We are truly very lucky to be experiencing these moments with you. 💕🐘

[@chuccchuck6977]

@JRRnotTolkien I don't know how they sleep. having to battle the conscious between good and that evil, between life and death. Their mind can't possibly be at piece knowing what they do., These magnificent elephants, as in all living biengs deserve to walk step by step, side by our side through this journey called life. The void the elephant would leave if they vanished off the earth would be devastating. Look at the elephant and you will see you and I. Thanks to the women and the men who care for them.

May we hear more about each one, their stories...how they came to be with you, their personalities, what they like to eat, who they're closest too...and can we hear about you Adine? What brought you to a place where you wanted to open an orphanage? How did you do it? Did you have any obstacles, blessings and miracles along the way? You saved each of their lives...how did you know how and what to do? What personality must a carer have? How do you pick a carer for each eLephant? Much love from Canada

Thank you for sharing the elephants lives and personalities with us. Does or did Timisa have a foster mother as well and did she nurse like Kanisa does now? I think pairing the babies with a mother is so good for them in many ways.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Yes - Tokwe, the matriarch is Timisa's mother. She is also adoptive mother to orphan Kumbura and her own two, limpopo and Pisa. So it is with that that Adine decided that Lundi who is Tokwe's greatest support, should take on adoptive mother role of Khanyisa. She accepted the opportunity! But she has great help from Bubi, and Kumbura mostly.
