Loud Trumpets as the Elephants Return Home to Phabeni at the Orphanage!

That's so incredible how they all rush past the food to check on little Phabeni.

He's turning his bedtime into fun and games. The herd really put on the gas to see their baby and once they saw that he was in good hands they went to dinner peacefully.

[@EvaArt-ud6gwari]

That was AMAZING. ALL THIS WONDERFUL LOVE. He knows it, they know it, now he can be playful and difficult. Get all that attention, funny, he is so darling. May he thrive. Also am so thrilled to see how Khanyisa loves him in her own special way.

A beautiful sight seeing the herd run toward the little soul, trumpeting, trunks raised. ❤ The best sight was him drinking his bottle. Hoping he keeps improving.💖

I do still pray that little Phabeni will continue to get stronger and continues to take his bottles too. It is a good idea too for him to be with his Herd elephant family cause that is truly what he needs cause that is now what he knows too and he does however also has an adopted elephant mommy too who needs to nurture him and be with him too.
