I can't even imagine what it would be like to walk with those gentle giants. It must be simply amazing!! 💜🐘

[@herdelephantorphanage]

It is a remarkably humbling experience!

[@debbieschultz9768]

I think it would be a wonderful experience but I wouldn’t go without a carer or Adine!

[@raygarcia8652]

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

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Wonderful - thank you!

[@melissaf.5898]

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.

GOOD EVENING FROM USA! Not feeling well today (had back surgery), BUT I began watching " a Day in the Life of Albino elephant calf Khanyisa and the Jabulani HERD" SERIES! I MUST SAY SO MUCH INFORMATION FROM ADINE AND HER DAILY DOCUMENTRARIES! I AM ENJOYING THEM ALL AND THE VIDEOS! WOW! I KNOW HEALING IS A PROCESS SO I AM TAKING MY TIME....THUS WATCHING PRINCESS KHANYISA AND THE REST OF HERD FAMILY. THANK YOU ADINE, YOUR FAMILY (SON & DAUGHTER), ALL CARERS, YOU ALL ARE SO AMAZING!

[@CristinaF210]

[@tinyvr7036]

Looks like storm clouds. ? Lots of energy in the air. Nice to know Sunshine is there😄 Thank you for your posts. We love how much you know and care about these sensitive and beautiful giants. They really love the sound of your voice..we can tell. Have a lovely day.❤🐘🙏 Sweet Rejoice.😄

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Definitely threatening clouds! Thank you so much for watching and for the love and support!

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.

[@loissansevere3686]

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 ♡♡

[@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

[@fabienneroure9995]

Thank you so much Adine this was indeed fascinating! I didn't know elephants could detect vibrations in the earth through their trumps! Wow this is one more thing about elephants that proves how sensitive and intelligent they are! Best wishes and stay safe! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Exactly! Incredible animals, so complex and unique in every way. Thank you Fabienne! All the best to you too! :)

[@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.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

You make our day with comments like this, thank you Linda. It's so great to share these moments with you and people around the world. Thank you for watching and enjoy the future rumbles!

[@Automedon2]

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. They tried raising a few orphans they found, including a baby hippo that had been attacked by wild dogs, but they never had much success - except for a baby warthog who survived. When we moved to SA, they left the, now grown, warthog with neighbors. Maybe that's why I've been obsessed with animals since I was a kid.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

What a fascinating life and journey! Thanks for sharing! The wild definitely imprinted on you :)

[@Automedon2]

@@herdelephantorphanage I've been in the US since 1970 and honestly hadn't thought much about going back to SA, but your videos have sure peaked my interest in returning - for the wildlife, anyway.

[@RebornAgain2024]

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. As gentle as they are I have no doubt their reaction would be fierce if Khanyisa was at all threatened Something I wish the leader of my country felt towards his citizens who trusted this could never happen i apologize for adding politics, but as an artist whose craft has been sidelined by Covid19 in finger and toe nerve pain and sleeping 20 hours a day I am scared and frUstrated so I come here to be calmed Can I ask, I thought you were going to give a close up of her eyes. Are they a milky green or grey? Thankyou for your kindness

[@Buba417]

I can only imagine how difficult it is to manage all these elephants walking in the wild. Amazing video, as always. I love hearing Adine explaining all the elephant things. Very interesting and informative. Thanks Herd friends. 💕💓💞🐘🐘🐘🐑

We love how much you take heed of, Jan! Yes, it was a special.. he is a great elephant.

[@Kim-lc3fv]

What does the Jabulani herd think of the wild herd and vice versa? Is the Jabulani herd afraid of them or curious? It seems that they communicate with each other, right?

[@gabe-po9yi]

Fantastic narrative by Adine. Really enjoyed the information she gave - ellie names, what they were doing and why, etc. It helps so much in understanding more about not only the herd members, but about elephants in general. I’d never noticed the difference in the shape of the front and back feet and had no idea height can be determined by measuring the front foot spore. Thank you for going over all of this!

[@DONIZZOTTI]

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

[@conniewrightsman9122]

It's amazing that as big as they are they are not always confident.

[@melissagoetz7416]

Some of the were beaten into submission prior to being saved and coming to this sanctuary..

[@gabe-po9yi]

Connie Wrightsman I know what you mean. I was surprised to learn that elephants as a whole are on the nervous side of the spectrum. Horses are another large animal that also tend to the nervous side.

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

@@gabe-po9yi Dr Andrew McLean, an equine neuroscientist, is conducting research on Indian elephants because their ethology is so similar!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Absolutely, elephants in the wild or like the Jabulani herd of rescued elephants are still surrounded by the dangers of the bush, with predators threatening their young. No animal in the wild is always confident, and elephants in a herd have to think about more than just themselves as individuals.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

@@melissagoetz7416 Although elephants will always be on the alert with a young calf in their care. While predators don't often target older elephants they will take the opportunity to go after the calves. Luckily Khanyisa and the other calves have good protectors in their herd x

[@cattailer1077]

Loved every minute of part 4. Thankyou🥰🥰🥰

[@bibianadziruni4580]

Actually wanted to ask this yesterday , if they ever bump into the wild elephants in the reserve. How about lions

[@Kratatch]

Some videos have lion roars in the background so there is lions around. But lions dont really go after elephants unless they are desperate.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Okay, this was too funny. Timisa was carrying the water pipe and someone (anyone know who it was?) behind her decided they wanted it, so they stepped on it so it would slide off of her trunk, and then not missing a beat picked up it and expertly hung it over their right tusk (very impressive!). Hahahahaha, these ellies just crack me up! Stay tuned for more episodes of nicking amongst the Jabulani herd...

[@bettyfeliciano7322]

Oh my goodness! I’m learning so much from Adine & the carers. I was wondering if the two bulls were warning the wild elephants not to come closer and that they won’t join them today bc they have a young one to protect. I’m just guessing. I was quite nervous for awhile about all the rumbling. Blessings to all of you! 😊🙏✝️

[@annwilliams1073]

Where is jabulani lodge located? Near the herd?

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Hi Ann, yes right next to each other, within the same area and same reserve. So in fact Khanyisa and Lammie can see the herd where they sleep at night. And in the beginning of the integrations, some of the herd elephants would come and see Khanyisa at the orphanage fence between them.

[@annwilliams1073]

Oh, that is wonderful

[@susangrant7544]

Hi Adine how do the elephants know where to go? Do you lead them or do they take the lead. Hi my little darling khanyisa

Awesome thankyou for teaching us about the herd .... what's that saying about learning a new thing every day 😊❤🇨🇦

[@edwardpapera8124]

When they eat, do they chop the tree limbs and bark up into fine bits, or is it mostly chunks?

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Mostly small chunks :) Their teeth see to the rest.

[@cynthiamasse9596]

Bubi gets uneasy sometimes...

[@pisces3786]

Great information

[@BrendaHoward411]

Help me understand the purpose of the walk. Doesn’t look like it for grazing. Do they walk a same route each day or different.

[@Latoya-]

That's what they do in the wild... They are always migrating to a destination. Lead by the matriarch. In between winter and summer they are migrating back and forth to a destination that takes months sometimes to get to, so that's what they do, walk. ❤️

When your bulls go into musth (sp?) do you separate them from the herd or are they not much of a problem? I keep reading about bulls in breeding season being difficult so I've often wondered.

It is wonderful how this herd has made its own family. How far are the wild elephants from your reserve?
