Jabu the elephant's boisterous swim | Living With Elephants Foundation | Botswana

Jabu was a little more boisterous than usual in the pool today. He was however as gorgeous as ever! That actually goes without saying!

First time seeing this and it’s so so relaxing. I absolutely loved it. What a magnificent animal

[@marlenaforbes-reidy9876]

He’s lovin every minute of it. ❤🐘❤️

[@rileyhalls9301]

Wow! I don't believe I've ever seen a male elephant enjoy his frolic like this in the water. -I'm wondering how his leg is doing. It is a miracle to see him like this! Elephants are so spectacular!

[@459luker]

lol jabu loves pooing in the water. Its so cool to see him having so much fun. He's like a big kid.

[@adrestianyx7441]

He is TOTALLY RELAXED!!!!!! Nothing better than a nice BM as well ;-)

[@jacquelinebouldin8191]

Thanks for a magnificent show Jabu. I call these videos my moment of Zen, so peaceful.

[@TheTalksoup]

I have never seen another being besides human children this delighted to swim. I hope the day comes where we know how to really communicate. They are all so individual in temperament and personality. But tell me one thing. How many more viewers come to watch this in the last 4 year's because I find watching even a minute of a bad video a waste of my time. But I could watch this guy all day. And it helps me get thru another confusing day in America

[@NSGca]

Three years later and I feel the same way you did then. It's cathartic to watch how relaxed Jabu looks. As far as America, just as crazy as ever.

[@TheTalksoup]

@NSGca Fellow ele lover sadly Jabu died after being released to the wild. I don't understand why Sandi released him after her husband Doug was killed after walking Marula and Jabu on an early morning walk. He was trampled by a rogue musth bull who was harassing Marula The whole Jabu thing has been confusing since HERD 🐘🐘 also has a Jabu in the herd. He broke his leg so he walks slowly but he is an impressive site. HUGE! But gentle. But now I am concerned since we are hearing of these incidents more often Adine has a huge herd, but has control in the walkabout. But once I saw them charge her, then stop. The new albino orphan they were used to walking witth had arrived late. When they finally saw her they calmed down. What an impressive internal clock. Now they have a new one, a very tiny shy bull Phebani. When he was introduced to the herd, they all surrounded him with their backs to him. They started secreting and the tails pointing left. The way elephants always do with infants approached by danger My point, Aldine was their leader for decades, why would they need to do that? We love to watch them, but we need to stop identifying with them. They know more than us and tolerate us beautifully. But when it comes to their own babies, they all have different personalities. Have I sufficiently bored you? Because I have more where that came from

[@suethorpe7850]

Glad to see the magnificent Jabu looking good and having a nice swim. He is impressive indeed.

It is amazing to be shown we are not the only intelligent life form even an elephant has a skin care method. I was amazed to watch him apply his own natural sunscreen n protection. Mind boggled!!

Ever notice how Elephants are just sometimes fascinated with their trunks? I think maybe it's their sense of smell, it's pretty great

[@donnaeckhardt6960]

Pertaining 2 the baby elephant who kept getting hit with a trunk. This caused it NOT 2 B able 2 suckle. I think he hit the calf, 2 bring the mother running. She came quickly w/ the matriarch. He backed away from the matriarch. She put that big mean male n his place. Pertaining 2 this video, the water is blue & pretty & elephant enjoying ITSELF!!

Can I just take a minute and point out whatever " sounded like some very pissed off African hornets " to me. Like you were under attack and they where landing on your camera lense at some point. I think you need a good Mud Bath as well. Wounder if that huge Bull would share his pool with you lol. Seeing Huge most beautiful elephants like him where their gorgeous tusks have been left to grow, throw in a lake fit for any KING BULL elephant , sprinkle with the sun showing how they look all were and truly something I would want to show off if I was him just dies the heart good. Last one in......😎😎😎👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🐘🐘🐘🐘🌞🌞🌞🌞🌡. Thx for great vidio and your patience what with being under attack.
