Learn About the Elephant's Trunk with Jabulani & Carer Owen

[@sharonott7513]

You started with two trunks and before you knew it, you had a bunch. That trunk is quite the tool for the elephant. Very interesting. Thank you Owen.

[@mortalclown3812]

Not sure I've smiled so big while learning anything. 🐘❤️🌍 Jabulani and Lundi seemed to be trying to help Owen! How amazing. Thank you, Owen and love to everyone at HERD. PS That last shot looks like what heaven would be like.

[@TheErik249]

1. This has been one of the most informative tutorials I have seen on THE HERD youtube channel. 2. Jabulani is HUGE! 3. I am surprised that Mambo behaved himself. He is such a cheeky monkey. 4. Losing an elephant trunk? That would be tragic. NEVER show us pictures of this tragic occurrence, thank you very much. 5. The elephant mouth is a highly evolved vegetation processing machine. 6. Thank you Owen!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

This is so lovely to hear!!

[@DarwinsWaitingRoomIsFull]

That was an awesome presentation . I had a giggle thinking if humans greeted each other instead of a handshake. We come up to a friend rumble/purring, and then sticking our noses in each others mouths. Lol Love to all at the homestead

[@natalielewis4407]

Thank you Owen for sharing this information, very fascinating and what a beautiful trusting relationship you have with these elephants. So important to educate people though such delightful interaction at a time where elephants are widely threatened through our ignorance, disrespect and through many other atrocities they face. Thank you to all at HERD for your continued love and dedication x

[@laurataylornyc9]

Wonderful, thank you Owen! Who knew that elephant trunks have a dominant side? No doubt they let each other know that Marulas were being served❣🐘

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Interesting right?!

[@susan332]

Awesome explanation about trunks Owen! Thanks so much! It was so heartwarming seeing you so comfortable with the elephants and they so comfortable with you 😁 I appreciate Herd and all you are doing . 🥰🐘

[@camelotcat6794]

“I smell marulas !” Nothing gets by these guys. Excellent presentation by Owen. Enjoyed it. 😍🇺🇸

[@kathyking5552]

Owen, you are as handsome as Jabu!!!! He and Fish are my favorites, so you just got my compliment too!!! Thank you so much for the tour of Jabu's trunk. You carers are the best! Thanks for all the beautiful info.

[@Carycares1817]

Great Filming and talk Owen about their trunks what beauties they are 🐘

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

Thanks a million Owen for sharing those info on what is the trunk of Elephants Congratulations also especially to Jabu and Lundi who participated actively to the explanation So heartwarming to see the close bond you have with our beloved gentle giants I do envy you !🐘❤

[@sharonj.2865]

Good morning Owen...you look so nice in your uniform...I think Jabu was enjoying playing with you. He didn't realize it was a class on his big trunk 😀 You are so lucky to be standing that close. Thank you for the very informative talk. As always, they are amazing creatures.

[@deborjhablackwell6162]

Thank you so much, Owen. I love when you become our teacher. That was amazing. About 2,000 pounds is what the kilos convert to. So conceivably that trunk alone could easily lift my Nissan Versa. So strong yet so controlled. Thank you again.

[@vanessagreenlee5618]

I send my love and my hugs to my beautiful African elephants friends,God bless them everyday.❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌍

[@Go-tee71]

Their trunks are like Swiss army knives, so diverse! Their strength & dexterity is incredible, a truly unique, amazing & beautiful animal! 🥰🙏❤️🐘

[@mortalclown3812]

Lol Swiss army knives 💯🐘

​@@mortalclown3812 😊😊

[@laylam3042]

They all are really participating in the Owen demonstration and love how Mama Tokwe breezed right on by Somopane to see what's going on here. Always good to see Mama Lundi, she seems to be off on her own a lot and doing her own thing. ❤ They are so big and beautiful.

[@melodiefrances3898]

I have been fascinated by their trunks for a while now. Especially in regards to communication. But everything about it is amazing.

[@Lovelyday137]

Jabulani is statuesque ❤

[@olderetiredtreemahn3234]

Gentle giants. Thank you for your great 👍 work 👏. Caring ❤ for elephants

[@francesfarmer736]

Very Interesting …..Jabulani is a patient soul 🐘❤️

[@marylouruss1087]

This was very interesting. Never thought about left and right handed trunk.Loved how everyone joined in the lesson.Thank you so much. LOVE

[@kevinheath7588]

It's amazing really, it does literally appear as if an elephants trunk is longer than a person. What incredibly beautiful animals elephants are ❤

[@MrSimonw58]

Africa elephant ... massive!!

[@dewdan11dnd46]

🫶✨🐘🍈Thank you so much Owen. Wonderful exploration of the intricate workings of their trunk. Jabu and Mambo were on mission Marula, 🍈so you had a short window to educate us about their trunks. Much appreciated 🌿💞🍈🐘

[@suzymatwetwe]

Very interesting. Those tulips at the end of Jabulani's trunk look like hand puppets 🤭. What a great piece of engineering. Just a question. If they loose the bottom of their trunks, how do they grab grass and leaves etc?

[@debraevans6795]

Thank you for sharing Owen! Love learning about the elephants! Keep up the awesome work! Always makes me smile! God Bless All of You!♥️🐘☮️🐘

[@imnotanalien7839]

Thank you Owen and friends… that was a very interesting talk on elephant trunks! All the elephants were good sports demonstrating their talented trunks!

[@newearthhope]

Fascinating to learn more about how the trunk is made and used! Thank you, Owen, for sharing this information. It was also interesting to watch as more and more elephants wanted to be part of what was happening. You can see the need to be part of the group just as with humans! ❤🥰🌺

[@edolix59]

I love seeing Lundi trying to gate-crash this educational video 😂She has marulas on the brain!

[@lynne0410]

Also I think she is keeping her wayward son Mischievous Mambo close by🤩

[@suehancey8355]

Thank you Owen, fascinating explanation. It's easy to forget how huge they are until we see one of the carers standing next to them. Thanks for all the information🥰

[@isawa6649]

Thank you so much for this very interesting and entertaining course on the multitasking elephant trunk.

[@SkeensFamilyUSA]

Wonderful job Owen❤. This is fascinating information ❤ Look how large these elephants really are! Until someone stands next to them - its difficult to really know the size.

[@sharona1112]

Thank you Owen, I like being educated by a handsome man.

[@vanessagreenlee5618]

Thank you,for a very nice KZbin video,showing my beautiful African elephants friends,the elephants trump is the arm of the elephant.❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌍

[@MrStevehunter33]

Very interesting, Owen. Thank you. Loved it towards the end when they were all coming up to say hello. You must feel very small sometimes with all these magnificent giants surrounding you

[@donnadavid4028]

Oh my Lord!... you can really see how big these guys are when he's standing next to them

[@laylam3042]

Ikr? Their legs remind me of tree trunks!

[@martydornbos643]

Owen. U r the man on trunks! It cracks me up to see the others coming over to see what's going on or r they missing free marulas! 🤔

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Thanks for showing so much care/love for precious elephants😃😃😃🐘🐘hugs and prayers😍they are so amazing😍 thanks for sharing🐘🐘

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Left nosed or right nosed! Elephants are so cool❤❤❤

[@dorothywestcott2408]

Thank you Owen. I just love ❤️ the tutorials you all do. I think it's very interesting that elephants 🐘 are either right handed or left handed. I know that their trunks have many, many muscles. I had no idea that if they lost part of their truck they could still use it. There is an elephant 🐘 at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust who had her trunk in a snare and almost severed it. The vets were able to reattach it but she broke some of the stitches and now has a hole in it and she has had to learn how to adapt with it especially when drinking water 💦. Great video Owen. Thank you for teaching us about the most powerful tool that elephants 🐘 have. Oh I also thought it was funny that you started out with Jabulani 🐘 and Lundi 🐘 and several other elephants 🐘 showed up. They must have smelled the marulas 🤣. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

Reminds me how word spreads at work there are treats in the break room 😄

Enjoyed your talk on elephant trunks. Thank you ❤️

[@jenihansen7201]

Thank you so much for sharing with us Owen. This was very interesting indeed. I enjoy learning about God's creatures, great and small. Again, thank you Owen and to HERD for taking care of the Ellies.

[@gloriamariasuarezpinto6803]

Gracias Señor Cuidador Owen por su interesante información para conocer acerca de cómo y para que utilizan los elefantes 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 sus trompas teniendo a su lado al Enorme 🐘 JABULANI y la Matriarca Lundi 🐘

[@palmaleestephens1906]

Thank you, Owen!❤️ Interesting.

[@annmcarthur5414]

I love learning about these amazing animals. It really shows their size with Owen being next to them. He seems to truly love them. Lundy wants to be included!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@whitekasimir3752]

First 2, than 3, 4, 5 elephants around. Everybody wants know what's up there? Loving it. :)

[@Beruthiel45]

Thank you Owen. 🤗 It's obvious that the elephants love and trust you, and are content to let you show us how they use their bodies. So interesting and amazing too, how versatile they are. I love how everyone ambles over to have a look at what's going on, they are curious but gentle. What a wonderful opportunity to learn, almost as if we are right there beside you, and wishing we could be there indeed. 😊 Blessings. 💖

[@shoshannahorton7461]

Thank you! Their trunks serve So many uses for their needs, fascinating! Haha! Looks like everyone else wanted to get in on the Marula's😄💁 Their "Nose knows,!" Awww, hope there were enough Marula's for everyone. 🥰💞 Have a blessed and safe day in Jesus ' love and name 🙏💕😘 They are ALL so very precious in His sight!💕💞🥰😍

[@g.nypaver734]

Thank you Owen. Your live and knowledge of the elephants shows through. Great information. Thank you for teaching us about these amazing animals.

[@nancykelly9712]

Oh my goodness are you so lucky to see and work with such majestic animals every day. Sigh!! Of all the animals in the world, the elephant is my favourite. Thank you for all the work you do and sharing with us all! 💞

Thank you Owen for this informative video . Thank you to Jabu and yo all the others for their help in teaching us

[@anaalvarez1925]

Thank you for teaching us about elephants trunk. It’s amazing how and for what they use their trunks. It’s like having all the tools they need to survive in one place and then they complete the tools with their tusks that are right near their trunks.

[@mary-anneswanson1428]

Thank you Owen :) I like learning about the different parts of the elephant and their suroundings :) I will never get to touch an elephant or see them live so would you please give them a pat for me :)

[@judykinsman3258]

I trained elephants for several years (in protected contact) & never knew about their being right & left handed. I never felt comfortable with captivity even though it was totally positive reenforcement for husbandry. Thank you for giving me an outlet for my love for them.

[@manganese333]

Wonderful lesson! Thank you, Owen, Jabulani, and team!! ❤️👏

[@lynnbuonomo7611]

I have been patiently 🐘🌺 8:28 waiting for someone to talk about the trunk of the elephant!! I wanted to know about the size? Does it grow a certain size according to the size of the elephant and when they are babies how much control do they have and how do the muscles develop? It was fascinating that they have a dominant side.That was a great display of how the trunk works Owen!! I really learned a lot! ❤ Thank you for the. Lesson 😄

[@JD-nd1oz]

Love these kinds of educational videos very much. I learnt that elephants can be right trunked or left trunked, like humans are left or right handed. Never knew that until this excellent video. Thank you! 😍💝🐘💝

[@Dennis-Hare]

Looks like Lundi wanted to show off her trunk as well. A little trunk envy, perhaps?

[@rsoubiea]

they are quite the herd of well mannered elephants. thank you! ❤️

[@bellablock5864]

Thank you Owen for the Information. What I have learned by watching is how sensitive they are able to use their trunks. I remember the footage of the first trunk-contact between Fishan and Baby Khanyisa over the fence. Does someone remember? That was so very touching.❤

[@jmcampbell05]

excellent presentation!!!

[@fastflo]

The information is really good to know. However, poor Owen must be standing in a field of marula or the elephants are all turning into divas!!! My favorite trunk action was watching Jabulani dig in Adine's pockets for marula 🤣😂🤣🥰🥰!❗❗ Also, the way all the elephants checked her out when she had an injury on her leg, they all came to smell her injury (and suggest that she throw some dirt on that instead of whatever that nasty stinky stuff was) 🤣😂🤣

[@shoshannahorton7461]

Lol, that's cute and probably exactly what they thought! Haha!😂💕

[@carolinamoreno7372]

It so nice that Jabulani, Lundi, Mambo, Tokwe-etc. gathered so lovingly around Owen. He sure has captured their love and trust and trunkfuls of hugs. Thank you, Owen for the teaching us about the elephant trunk!

Nice! Till the end the ' Gangs all here ❣ ...

[@kathleenjordan9404]
