Khanyisa is Huge! Carer Owen Helps the Baby Elephant to Roots with Bubi!

It’s always a shock to see Khanyisa next to a human versus the elephants in her herd. When she’s standing alongside humans, you truly see how big she has grown! She diminutive when beside her herd though. Here we watch Owen helping break pieces of bark off of the root for Khanyisa since her still young trunk is not as adept at the task. Owen uses a rock for the job but elephants like Bubi have much more strength and can use their tusks, feet and trunks to help with pulling bark from the root or stem of a tree. Enjoy some sweet Bubi and Khanyisa time as the allomother keeps a good watch over the young elephant in her care.

Bubi is absolutely lovely.

Bubi is amazing yes

Bubi is so gentle

3:30+ Bubi’s gentle face as she watches Owen helping Khanyisa is just beautiful ❤️

Cara Linda, è bellissimo! E che occhi belli grandi ! Bubi è Miss ellies.🥰

[@ohmygoshmygolly]

Bubi’s eyelashes are thick and dark, she is so pretty!

[@Girlsjustwannasmellfun]

It must warm your hearts to know you had a very big role in getting this little ellie to now a huge and healthy Ellie! So much gratitude to all of you.❤🐘☀️

[@lindaclark1406]

Khanyisa looks huge, but next to Fishan, she’s still small. She’ll never give up on that root. She a very determined little girl. ❤ Much love.

[@aidabarreto3920]

KHANYISA is a beautiful girl who isn't afraid of anyone. LOL

[@Ezzellavivah13]

She’s so cute ❤🎉😊

[@cattailer1077]

A million sweet adjectives go thru my mind watching Owen cut loose bark for Baby K💖💖💖

[@micheleclay442]

Khanysia is obsessed with her root. 😍. No matter how big she gets she will always be our baby.❤

[@user-kp1pz6zv8y]

She made be huge. She's still our little baby sunshine 🌞

[@debdew7125]

It was so precious seeing Khanyisa kneel down to try to use her small tusks on that root! Owen was so kind to help Khanyisa. Adine thank you and thanks to Owen and the other carers! Your videos always brighten my day! Sending love 💙 and 🫂 hugs to you all.

I love how Owen helped Khanyisa get to that root. Gotta love our pink princess. She is so spoiled in a loving and good way. I also love all the wildlife you can see in these videos. The wilderbeast babies were adorable.

[@micheleclay442]

Bubi is a great allomother.

[@shannondominguez9725]

She is the very best mother and allomother Bubi taught Zindoga to be a respectful confident young man and now she’s giving Sunshine all the love and devotion Bubi believes she deserves always letting her know she’s safe and protected. Two very special souls who experienced unthinkable trauma and pain but in turn they both help each other heal which is so beautiful. Meisekind gives Bubi purpose to do what she loves most giving all of herself to the little ones without question,I sometimes get really emotional just watching them together knowing what they went through and seeing them so bonded now is truly special.🌅🐘💜

[@relax2dream164]

It’s so enjoyable to see the ease between elephant and human. Their interaction is just so natural. Also it’s great seeing beautiful Bubi hanging out with Khanyisa and Owen! Family❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@brendanorris9944]

I love that once Owen walked away Bubi thought right now it's my chance to have a bit of that interesting root🐘🤗

[@shannondominguez9725]

Good morning to a very curious Khanyisa Braveheart and her family she’s examining that root quite intensely just a baby elephant learning the ways of her wilderness the way it should be. There’s nothing like a helping hand to get you what you need when a little trunk isn’t quite strong enough,it warms my heart to see her constantly surrounded by so much support and love. I so appreciate how often the team posts sharing the wonderful adventures of this very special herd they have become a very important part of my days and evenings I look forward to seeing each new scene with them and to finding what skills Khanyisa is honing. Thank you for everything you share with us every day.🐘💜🌅

[@jolynnhill8502]

I love the community of the herd and how they all have a unique job to do. I love watching all the beautiful animals in the bush. Thanks for doing a wonderful job❤️

[@maryt2887]

So heartwarming to see how patient Bubi is, waiting her turn, and how physically close these two elephants are.

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

Cara Mery, Bubi è stata la sua 2 allomother e ancora ....

[@jillezzell6931]

I never noticed how beautiful Bubi is! 🐘❤

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

È bellissima una Miss!

[@susycavaleiro1265]

She has beautiful eyes.Soft.🐘🐘💖💖

[@dorothywestcott2408]

I thought that root looked like the one Zindoga 🐘 was working on until Fishan 🐘 came and took his place. It's very sweet to see Khaynisa 🐘 getting help from Owen. Bubi 🐘 is watching over our sweet little girl. Then Bubi 🐘 starts working on that root also. Look at the baby wildebeest such a beautiful sight. Thank you Adine. ❤️🐘🐘❤️

[@brendanorris9944]

Well done Owen👍✔️ giving our little princess a help with that root 🐘🐘🐘

[@mensahbernadette256]

I think it the same roots too.😀

[@melissawarfield]

I will have to go back and check out Part 1 of Khanyisa checking out the root. I missed that one. I love Khanyisa doing her best to break off a bit of root. Glad that Owen came in to help. Bubi is protective of Khanyisa. Loved it when Owen gave Khanyisa a bit of the bark. Beautiful gazelle and beautiful wildebeest in the scene. Love to all.

[@cherylpeevy5010]

Khanyisa tells Owen "When my tuskers get just a bit longer and I am stronger, I will be able to uproot this thing all by myself!"

[@CorgiLove81]

Khanyisa is so loved by all of you. Thank goodness for the day you rescued her from that dreadful snare 🙏🙏💕💕🐘🐘🌈🌈

[@bellablock5864]

Oh, there was a follow up of the last footage! Very interesting indeed. Our pampered princess... And beautiful Bubi, patiently waiting until it's her turn. Thank you, Owen for helping Khanyisa to "her share". 😊 And yes, Bubi was not worried or stressed at all. It was clear that she knows Owen (and Adine of course). You've made my day again.

[@judycook4314]

Sweet baby has the best of both worlds - protective, helpful elephants and caregivers. 💖. Also, she never gives up. I do think that Bubi was looking for a piece of root also!

[@marpro765]

Great photography today.

[@marianna7325]

That little girl has had such good care she's going to be big.

[@katharineellis3809]

So peaceful, being in the moment with everyone here....the soft sounds of the different insects...a perfect utopian scene. Thank you!!!

[@mary-anneswanson1428]

I really love our elephant herd and could watch them all day . What makes this extra special is also learning about the enviroment that lives along side them. An author from here in Canada (R.D.Lawrence) wrote a book on a cougar he studied and made sure to include this cat's entire surroundings . I don't think you can truly understand an animal if you don't also understand it's world as well :) Thank you for including the elephants world for us :)

[@kathleenjordan9404]

Thank you Owen!! I wanted to help her so bad with that root🤣 Her perseverance is so strong, she will be beautifully independent in no time! Beautiful herd, thank you!!!🧡🐘🧡🐘 The comparisons in size were interesting also, first Fishan, then Bubi and then Owen. Amazing how she’s grown so beautifully, of course, due to the loving care she receives!🧡

[@suehancey8355]

She is getting so big, especially next to Owen🥰

[@kathleenjordan9404]

I love seeing the other animals nearby as well, thank you Adine!🧡

Yeah, I was thinking Episode 1 ended on a big cliffhanger. Also the girl is growing faster than a mushroom. 🐘🍄

I always enjoy to witness Khanyisa and Bubi's time together. Bubi is truly special she has so many facets to her personality. Thank you for sharing

That pesky old root. Yes, Khanyisa is growing big and strong now. But, she will always be our baby. That root and bark must be very special, indeed. Thanks to Own for helping out 😀

Beautiful allomother Bubi! 😊💖🐘

[@ccs4957]

It would be so incredible if Bubi or Khanyisa starts picking up a rock and knocking off bark from tree trunks just from watching Owen do it. Don't underestimate elephant intelligence because we know they know how to use tools and learn from observation.

[@dorabella64]

Owen, I think you need to keep growing to catch up with Khanyisa😉. It’s a good thing that they have you to help them. 😘❤️💫

[@Bearwoman11]

When Bubi picks up the sent of the Impala, she immediately takes a protective posture with Baby K. What strength and power she displays! The union between Owen helping Baby K is such a beautiful thing to watch! May more humans be angels to animals!

I love your videos so much! 💖 I adore how Khanysa is handed over from adult elephant to the next babysitter.

Thank you so much for sharing your elephant family with us!❤️💖🇨🇦

Owen is Khanyisa 's hero!! Bubi is wondering, " Where is mine?"

[@renestewart604]

René from Germiston, South Africa. Thank you for the follow up on the tree roots. Seems like the bulls provide food to the ladies and babies. I was wondering if any of the plants and trees were toxic to the animals.

[@GB-he1zc]

This is a very nice video of Bubi, Khanyisa and Owen. How Bubi waits patiently respectfully to Khanyisa and Owen. Very nice.

[@marianneritavanvliet4554]

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Just look at how grown up your girl is getting, Bubi! Great job done, honey❤. Bubi wants bark, too. She is just socially awkward and doesn’t know how to ask.

[@sandrasharp2934]

"How many elephants does it take to root out the stubborn root?" 😣 love the spirit of cooperation

[@camelotcat6794]

I didn’t think the root was that big until Owen picked it up and then I thought it must be a tree root! No wonder Zindoga was having a hard time. Bubi is truly beautiful inside and out. Nature is never ending in its wonders. 😍🇺🇸

[@ftc22]

Such glorious peace.

[@Kymcook73]

Lol the look on Bubi as she watches. Almost like she's asking where's my piece, Owen?

I think Bubi was waiting for Owen to hand her some bark as well, also the Impala are so fast.

[@carolinamoreno7372]

What a cute video. Our dear, getting dearer but much bigger Khanyisa was determined to finish off that root. Elephants never ever forget. It was so nice of Owen to scrape off some bark for her, while Bubi watched intently as to what he was doing. Maybe Bubi was thinking these humans have no tusks, what does Owen have in his hand? It's always nice to see Bubi and Meisiekind together. Watching her today I could see the progress she is making in learning these elephant skills!
