Orphaned Albino calf Khanyisa meets Lundi the elephant

[@carmenl163]

I'm rewatching this after Phabeni was introduced to Lundi. What a lovely and natural mom she is, welcoming every little baby. I'm touched.

[@shellos8]

Khanyisa is so tiny and so sweet and trusting. It's like she was saying to Lundi "hello, I am little and I don't have a mommy. Are you my new mommy?" So cute.

[@jojowhite9296]

Elephants are so social and very caring for each other.

[@somerandommom5030]

Little Khanyisa has so many adoring mothers now. She is a lucky girl.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Very much so!

[@ShedaKhan-m8x]

She deserves it, she's so loving.

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

The souls of these magnificent creatures never fail to move me.

[@AnnariDuPlessis]

That little trunk reaching out to the big elephants is so adorable.

[@oholynightowl2968]

So sweet. We did not see them touching her back once though. I felt so sorry for the little one.

[@m-possible1173]

It is!😁❤️

[@merveilmeok2416]

I don’t watch movies anymore. I prefer animal documentaries. Thanks for those people who help the elephants. Thanks Adine. God love you.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Loved hearing Tigere explain about the rumbles and what they mean. So, a low rumble from Lundi was letting Khanyisa know everything’s okay, there’s nothing to worry about. I’m impressed with his knowledge. It’s critical for people working with elephants to have a great understanding of them, their society, etc.

[@kimchi_b]

Yes the explanation was great!

[@angelaconnor4942]

It was wonderful to listen to Tigere's explanation of the elephants interactions, he is a good teacher with an obvious profound love and knowledge of his charges. Thank you Tigere for educating me further on this amazing channel.

[@dianawhaley4851]

Thank you

[@brendanorris9944]

It melts my heart to see how amazing Lundi is with little Khanysia 💕🙂

[@missybancroft6688]

Lundi was so patient with Kanyisa....beautiful and magical!

[@elainebernier]

And may God bless these beautiful elephants. So nice to see men and animals in harmony.

[@johnniefinkley2766]

So very precious and sweet. They are so intelligent yet so innocent and vulnerable. I will never understand how anyone could kill or harm any of these wonderful animals 😮😢😮😢😮😢.

[@Jennifer-di4nl]

The more I watch these videos the more I'm shocked at the intelligence and empathy of these magnificent creatures. God bless you for the wonderful work you do.

[@lorrainecastillo897]

These gentlemen are like angels for these fantastic creatures!

[@lindawalker8312]

You all must be so proud of Lundi, what an amazing new mum for Khanyisa

[@cas6227]

She is my baby girl... always follow her... i love how the herd loves and protects her. ❤❤❤

[@donnajarvis9542]

The patience all of you have is a blessing.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

I learn from the elephants all the time, many things. Thank you, God.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing. Such lovely moments.

[@susanbarlow1585]

What wonderful people they are ... those working with the elephants. What a great job!

[@aimeefriedman822]

I've watched this so many times and I'm still captivated. I know they have seen each other before (at the fence), but Kundil realizes this is the REAL MEET & GREET. I feel her saying, "What exactly do you guyz expect me to do with this Pink Piglet?" Seriously, there's so much communication happening amongst all, without a sound being made. What's so unique about Khanyisa is her undivided trust. She knows this is a big day and she's more excited than everyone. It's like she's saying, "I couldn't wait to meet you, I'll be the perfect daughter, just smell me, you'll see!!"

[@melodiefrances3898]

This is amazing. Lundi is so patient. She let's the baby explore her with her trunk. ❤❤❤

[@randygunn9499]

You realize just how huge they are from the trunk coming out at you! God there magnificent!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

They are incredible!

[@danopticon]

She must’ve been so scared, trapped in that awful snare and separated from her mother… I really empathize with her, and I’m so glad she’s gaining security and love and reassurance from her many new stepmothers!! Thank you for the work you do. 🤗❤️🐘

[@cal-qw8ov]

She must be one in a million,a precious little thing that needs looking after even if it means the rest of her life...

[@mortalclown3812]

I'm watching this again in late 2022, realizing that others besides Lundi took over the mothering of Khanyisa. This was quite beautiful- hard to overestimate the bravery of Baby Girl meeting so many new circumstances with trust and fortitude. Respect to the humans who oversee it all.

[@gr8fuldeb699]

Watching her little trunk reach up and then the crossing of her legs is absolutely adorable.

[@crystalheart9]

That is so cute.🥰

[@geraldcullen6737]

What a privilege to be around such a beautiful mammal

[@thefairyqueen369]

Just stunning to watch these majestic souls give Khanysia her place in the herd! They can smell and sense her injuries, I wonder what goes through their minds, perhaps memories of their own ordeals. Animals on this planet have such a tough time just like humans do but thanks to people like Adine and her team, we can change history one animal at a time!

[@barbarajustice9499]

Love theses videos watching the calf being around the older elephants 🐘 and learning from them thank you for sharing

[@itsjustme.7059]

The baby is reaching its little trunk up to have a sniff is so precious.

[@poppykok5]

Elephants have ALWAYs fascinated me beyond simple explanation...I hope & pray Lundi will quickly accept little Khanyisa as her own...Just imagining how & why this innocent little calf became orphaned, just stabs at my heart...

[@audreybee5061]

They really are one of the worlds most gentle giants ❤️❤️

[@whitekasimir3752]

It is so heart touching how Khanyisa sniffs the two giants Lundi and Jabulani. But then at 4:00 she has to go back to Adine to ask 'Who is that? and for a little caress that gives her security again. But then curiosity wins and she focuses on Lundi again. It is so exciting to our sweetheart.

[@AnnaAnnaTT]

The skilled empathic and ever so kind elephant carers are wonderful in the way they care for the elephants They notice so much. They understand so much. They have earned the trust of the elephants. Always they are considering, analysing situations as to what is best for the elephants. Anyone who has not grasped how important these carers are to the elephants is a fool. They reassure the elephants and support the herd to keep things runing smoothly. Yes the elephants are super smart too. I think the elephants do understand and respect the importance of the carers too. Herd is run so respectfully for the long term benefit of the elephants

[@Sammy-kn2nb]

She is absolutely precious. I’ve been following her since I discovered this sweet angel on KZbin and I have fallen completely in love with her. They are all amazing beautiful creatures and the fact that there are disgusting “people” that could harm any living creature just for random parts of their bodies is horrible. Horrible isn’t even a strong enough word to describe their atrocious actions and to call them people or human is an insult to those of us that are unfortunately the same species as them bc I could never think of harming another living creature. I’m so thankful for organizations such as yours who have stepped in to take care of these gentle giants. Thank you for all you do ♥️.

[@melodybecker2309]

What an experience watching the bonding!!! Thrilling🐘

[@54725472777]

Lundi is so beautiful and nurturing.

[@gr8fuldeb699]

I am constantly rewatching these videos. Its so beautiful to see the love that is given to Khanyisa. Jabulani came over to make sure she was ok is unbelievable.

[@socratesaristotle101]

The elephants have the most beautiful eyes and their eyelashes are a dream😄

[@archanair4792]

Thank you all for all your efforts! Hats off!

[@lisadunlop1786]

Hello JABULANI HERD! Can you please explain what all the different elephant sounds and body language mean? I know you and Tigere have explained some of them, like the rumbling, but I would love to hear more! I hope others will agree? What a privilege it was for YOU to take us ALL along such an AMAZING moment! And to now see Khanyisa follow Lundi on every walk on the reserve is just a MAGNIFICENT bond that has grown between them…and that she has with rest of the JABULANI HERD! What a PRIVILEGE it was to witness the start of their relationship! Thank you JABULANI HERD!!! 🙏❤️

[@HelloKitty-ed5cy]

Oh Man... I cried from start to finish... Huge respect and admiration for the humans who care for and protect these wonderful animals. The Momma elephant Lundi just broke my heart the way she accepted the baby... Thank you for sharing..

Khanyisa is in heaven, under Lundi, eyes closed, just taking it all in! Lundi is also absorbed with love, and giving the baby a musthy welcome, from her heart to Khanyisa's. Just beautiful, my heart is full!

[@whitekasimir3752]

"Khanyisa is in heaven, under Lundi, eyes closed, just taking it all in!" - I thought about that, too. Maybe at that moment she remembers her own mother, who she sadly lost.

[@DeathByDrone-ORmk84]

@@whitekasimir3752 isn't Lundi such an angel to meet Khanyisa's needs in that way! They are so emotionally intelligent!

[@georgiewalker1069]

This brought tears to my eyes … such a moving event and amazing to see the interaction between them. Loved hearing their rumbling. It must travel right through your chest when you are so close to them. Incredible devotion by the keepers and Adine 💫💫❤️
