Khanyisa's bottle in the bush and a helping trunk from Tokwe to get her back on her feet

[@theresawhitty8124]

Isn't she doing so well? Dusting her back efficiently and getting the higher leaves. Well done little girl.

[@dorothywestcott2408]

Khanysia is getting so big. She has so much love all around her. All of the Herd look after her. We as humans can learn a lot from these gentle giants. The phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" is so true. Your videos makes my heart so happy. Thank you once again for sharing this herd with us.

[@DionnaReilly]

She really loves to have her milk She just like a toddler drink up and nap for a bit. The other Jabulani elephants take such good care of her. The bond they all have is strong

[@melindabarnett9868]

Thank you for that reassurance! Khanyisa is everyone's baby elephant!

[@dianeedgar3271]

They're gentle giants if treated with respect. I love them.

[@Boxyde]

They're orphans or their offspring so used to the caring humans around them. Wild elephants are more cautious and hence agressive, defending the herd.

[@ginaparvin562]

Diane Edgar 😊

[@m-possible1173]

They are certainly more intelligent and have a sense of awareness than what most think. But still the elephants who respond favorably when treated compassionately do respond favorably but then by nature there still will be elephants that will be adverse no matter what and you still need to respect their size and their feelings too for that matter! That ones who act adversely should not be mistreated;people just need to get out of their way😂😂😂!!!

[@JD-nd1oz]

Thank you HERD for showing Khanyisa foraging with the herd on nice green vegetation. I love the way they allow Khanyisa to rest her little legs for a short while then nudge her gently when the rest is long enough and it's time to get back on her feet. And when she is back up, a little check up is carried out to make sure all parts are in order. These creations of God are truly wonderfully made!

I have watched this video previously, but I just can't help watching our little munchkin! She brings me such joy! Khanyisa is such a loving, open hearted, character! I absolutely LOVE how she trustingly throws her trunk right around Last! Here's something to ponder. Sebakwe seems to watch Khanyisa's play time quite a bit. Do you think he remembers when he was little? Do you think that any wild animal has a memory like that? I mean, he seems so curious when he's watching her.

Is Khanyisa in pain, I wonder? The constant leg movement doesn’t allow her to rest very much.

Compared to adult elephants she rests and sleeps a lot though. In the nursery she sleeps a lot lying down, I doubt wild elephant babies get as good sleep.

I did wonder that, one of them passed wind, I couldn’t fathom out who it was though, the constant leg movement is the same as a human baby when they have trapped wind. ❤️🐘

Sweet hugs from Khanyisa. I wonder if Tokwe came so close when Khanyisa was bottle fed, to smell if the milk is good. Or maybe she just came to thank the guys and say she approves.

[@reneethompson1564]

Question- Do adult elephants lay down to sleep/rest? And is there a time limit for Khanyisa being on the ground, which is why Tokwe forced her up?

[@47Brenda47]

I finally looked that up. Google--not necessarily the best source--says they sleep standing or lying down, standing more in the wild, because it's harder getting up.

I always wonder if Limpopo’s thorough checking is due to an awareness of Khanyisa’s prior injuries and wanting to see the progress of her healing or to make sure of her overall condition. It seems she focuses a lot on the left ear, particularly behind it and then she’ll put her trunk in her mouth, like when they do the flehman response.
