Part 4 of a Day in the Life of Albino elephant calf Khanyisa and the Jabulani HERD

In Part 4 of a day in the life of Khanyisa and the Jabulani Herd, it would have been great to have shared the herd swimming with Khanyisa. BUT Sebakwe and Somopane had plans of their own and decided to head out after the wild herd of elephants.
This left the rest of the herd very unsettled and restless, and they decided not to swim, but rather keep very close to Khanyisa, circling around her protectively due to having fewer males in their company. Jabulani did, however, take the lead and make his presence known around the females.
Adine shares a fascinating scene where the elephants gently rest their trunks on the ground. This is to detect vibrations in the earth - another form of communication that they have between one another via low-frequency calls that generate seismic signals that elephants can feel via their trunks (and feet). You can read more about that here: herd.org.za/khanyisas-big-feet/
There is a lot of interesting info that Adine shares in the video that we hope you will enjoy. Let us know which part you enjoyed best!
Stay tuned for part 5, the final part tomorrow!

Thank you so much for these incredible close ups. I have never seen the incredible detail of their skin and trunks well and their dung. Yes I said it. Thanks to all the incredible guys caring for them.

Learning more about these beautiful elephants how they are mingling with humans and the special care they are getting it leaves me speechless all the time when I see them

I just found out elephants only sleep about two hours a night - mostly standing up. Every three or four days they might lay down for an hour.

When my mother was pregnant with me, we lived in Tanzania (Tanganyika, back then). One day they were taking a ride through the bush in an open Landrover when they were surrounded by a very large herd of buffalo. Everyone climbed trees, including my pregnant mother.

it's like Khanyisa was born at just the right time and had to suffer just to be part of something this whole planet desperately needs Hope and love. her herd and caretakers are a sign of inclusion charity and safety.

I'm happy the two boys are back they didn't stay to long with the wild ones , I remember when Mombo did that he was gone three days do the males do this often ..wonderful video hugs to sunshine ♡♡

Fatima 🔯✝️Je vous découvre, et, regrette que vous n'ayez pas plus d'abonnés. Je ne sais si c'est la saison sèche, mais l'endroit à l'air de manquer de verdure pour les éléphants. (Je voudrais toujours qu'il y ait plus de pluie sans conséquences dommageables pour les personnes et animaux).

[@shonagiffen4913]

It's lovely how they care and love little Khanyisa so heartwarming x

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

I put my headphones on to hear this video. I could hear more of the low rumbles of the ellies as you were talking. It was truly amazing. The information you provide in these videos really let us know what the day to day activities are and the sacrifices all are making for the ellies.

[@paulalim1476]

Thank you for the educational videos! So much to learn. Good lessons for everyone....especially on earning respect.

[@DONIZZOTTI]

Que lindos esses grandalhões... Simplesmente maravilhoso, espetacular... Parabéns a todos vcs, que fazem esse divino trabalho...🐘👏🙌💯🌺🥰🇧🇷🇿🇦

[@harbingerjitkaur923]

I think they sacrifice their enjoyment over the security f khanyisa so sweet

[@CristinaF210]

Adine is absolutely fantastic she should get some kind of prize for what she does as some win nobels etc... caring people like her should all be recognized, shes helping not just the HERD but the workers and keep this business going its absolutely incredible really

[@janparish7895]

Favourite moment? So many, but has to be sweet, thoughtful Jabu, hanging back to watch over the Herd. He was Khanyisa's first friend in the Herd and they enjoyed many "chats"!! Thank You Adine and your wonderful Carers! ❤🐘❤🙏🙏🙏
