Happy Khanyisa Moments, a Jabulani & Mambo Challenge, and the Amazing Elephant Allomothers!

All kinds of adventure unfolds in this new video from our wilderness! Watch Khanyisa in the orphanage as she escapes out the front door! She is ushered back by carer Godknows and waits in the orphanage garden for her milk bottles! Once again she helps herself to them with great skill as the team weigh her. She is rising up and up in weight, at over 710 kilograms.
Adine is at the orphanage and planning the first stages of Khanyisa’s move to the homestead which we hope to share shortly.
Jabulani and Mambo have a match on the mound in the homestead with Lundi trying to avoid the bull’s drama, while Pisa and Timisa fearlessly approach buffalo by themselves. Enjoy some moments with Herman and Khanyisa (and the soccer ball) before Sunshine heads out to meet up with the herd.
Khanyisa spends time with her allomothers in the bush - Kumbura, Bubi and Tokwe, and Adine finds a new, weird and wonderful sight… a very busy ant hill!

Oh my goodness, how she loves those bottles🥰 And now almost to big for the nursery, bittersweet moment for all i'm sure! What a fantastic job you have all done in raising her. And still, her playful and mischievous personality shines through. What a treasure💖💖

I think it is going to be really hard for her to leave her carers and the safer of her little home. I hope when it comes time for her leave that she will be able to cope with it.

[@carolynminter7839]

I hope her mother Lundi lets her get enough sleep because mothers don't like the babies to lie down too long they will think it's something wrong if they do. I know Adina and the carers will watch for that. I'm sure she will be happy being with her mother and brother Mambo because they spend a lot of time together anyway. The pretty pink Princess will always be our baby no matter how big and grown up she gets. 💕 ❤️ 😘 🐘

[@catherine59226]

I think she’s going to have a hard time leaving her loving carers and her nursery. It’s like watching my own two sons who’re grown men now with families of their own. I hate to see our babies grow up. ❤️

I so appreciate the chance to watch this time in your lives. Such a wonderful way to wake up. The way all of the elephants watch over each other with such love. Also, the love for Khanyisa is so far beyond a lot of us humans. Meaning the herd does not see a "pink" little one. They see a baby that was in need of help, and love! That says a lot for them, and their carriers!! 🐘💖💖

[@carolinamoreno7372]

I think it's great that you alternate between longer and shorter videos. My family and I like to see the longer videos because it gives us a chance to all comment about how beautiful the HERD is and to see many things happening in the bush and the waterhole. For most of us the HERD is like a second family and who doesn't want to see their adopted children up close and living the life they were meant to live. Thanks HERD! We love you!

[@felicitysummers9140]

Ahh the lil escape artist, cheeky Khanyisa. She sure handles her bottles so well and gulps them down in no time! So clever! 😆 interesting to see the challenge of dominance of Jabulani to Mambo, as a person involved with dogs it’s kinda a similar way of keeping in check those younger ones. Can there be any damage with the way Jabulani had his tusks near Mambos eyes? I live in Melb and well the East coast is getting a lot of rain, I’ve noticed how dry it is are you going to get some Spring rain? Once again thank you for sharing these precious moments not just of Khanyisa but the rest of the HERD and the carers.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Kumbura coming up for some love…from one of her humans! I’m astounded. Has taking up with Lundi resulted in her gaining more confidence, maybe more of a sense of belonging in the herd? I noticed she was swinging her trunk with Khanyisa like mothers do with their babies. Is she learning mothering from Lundi or does that behavior usually start at her age?

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Yes probably 🤣 Kumbura has always been a mother figure for Khanyisa and has always been her support systems 💝

Saludos desde Nicaragua. Muchísimas gracias por la oportunidad de conocer a tan maravillosa especie y su excelente trabajo. Con mucha humanidad me gustaría sugerir si es posible que nos mostrará vídeos más cortos o subdividirlos para poder compartir con los amigos y familiares porque al ser muy largos la gente no tiene el tiempo suficiente en su vida cotidiana y declina . te generaria más likes para la causa.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

We have tried and tested it and our analytics say that our videos benefit when they are over 8:00 minutes long. We do however have aTikTok page where we post shorter versions of the videos we post here. Our Tiktok handle is @herdelephantorphange www.tiktok.com/@herdelephantorphanage We hope this helps 🥰

[@donalynschumann1275]

Nadia Cruz 😊 I pause the videos and go do things and then come back and start again. If videos are short we can't make rhem longer. I also sometimes fast forwards and backwards. creators who make long videos break them down into "chapters" and names each one so we can view them in segments. Maybe Adine can do that because some of us do prefer long videos 😄 I also watch at least 30 seconds of ads because another creator said that's what it takes for them to get credit and help their income as does leaving comments and giving Likes 👍

She is quite intelligent! She understands 4 languages: Elephant, Afrikaans, Shona and English. She can do math! She can clearly count to 3 at least. Because once she finishes with her 3rd bottle she doesn’t look for anymore!

Once you move Khanyisa over to be with the rest of the herd, how will you continue to give her her morning/evening milk as I assume she'll continue to need it until she 5 years old? Would you have to bring her back to the nursery area?

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Good question! We have been weaning her off of nighttime bottles and increasing her daytime feeds so she won’t need night bottles 😴

It seems that Hernan is thinner? Herman, Adine and Stavros have the closest bond to khanysia. They may rotate the carers, but that bond was formed within a couple of weeks of khanysia being at the orphanage. When a animal, especially a wild one, loves you it's a gift. I believe that as it will be hard for Lammie (therefore Nangu) to not see khanysia hardly at all soon, it will be as hard or harder for Herman. Hernan's heart is I believe very tender, and always loving. I used to talk to my animal companions if like I had to leave for a trip. They seemed to know what I was saying, and it wasn't as traumatic for them. It's hurting my heart in a good way to know khanysia will be out with the Herd shortly. I hurt for Lammie the Most cause she doesn't know why her baby is gone. I know it's all for the best, yet the heart speaks its own language.
