Peaceful Walks with the Jabulani Elephant Herd 🌿

After enjoying her milk bottle and a bucket of sweet potatoes, Khanyisa sets off to join the herd for a peaceful stroll through the reserve. Along the way, Adine demonstrates how to identify elephants by their tails, showing examples of the unique differences in tail shape and hair. She also provides a quick update on Fishan's recovery, discussing his pressure wound and the possibility of using laser therapy to aid his healing.

Long ago when I was a little girl, I would constantly beg my mom to take me to the Oakland Zoo in California. My favorite friend was Effie the elephant. I would go to one edge of her enclosure where she could reach her trunk over the wire fencing. She would rumble to me. Hearing the echo in Limpopo's trunk in this video, I remembered how I would take an empty coffee tin at home and practice rumbling in the back of my throat, into the coffee tin, to replicate it. Once, mom let me bring it with me and I rumbled to Effie and she rumbled back. I've never forgotten her. She was beloved by all and theres even an old article and picture of her birthday party at an old age. I think she was 38. Thank you for the flashback to sweet memories of my elephant friend of my youth.

Lovely, gentle video. Nice to see Mambo and Zindoga not sparring but eating instead! I'm glad Fishan's wound is covered but, as Adine says, it has closed and opened up before.

[@janparish7895]

@susanfeneley Hello Dear Susan; lovely to hear from you. Yes the HERD area is always so very well maintained due to the very hard work involved. I'm well, Thank You, and hope you are too? I have to admit I'm still feeling devastated at the loss of those two dear old Elephants at ENP. Dreadfully sad. And yet in Africa there is severe drought. It feels the world is in turmoil, both with regards to nature - floods and hurricanes in USA -and the events in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere. The atrocities committed must come from such a deep hatred. I know I sound naive but why can't the world leaders just stop, look at the results of their actions, and at least try and work out a peaceful solution. It seems they are past that stage. I'm sorry, I didn't intend this to be such a miserable response to your lovely message!! We know there are many, many good people in the world doing wonderful things but we rarely see or hear about them. Our not-so-little Khanyisa is now 5!! I can barely believe it. What an inspiration she is. Against all odds she eventually thrived and it's a joy to see her as a part of a loving family. There has been much grief at HERD this year but Meisiekind brings such happiness to everyone. It's true - Elephants show us the right way to live don't they? I hope you are safe Susan and I send my Love and Well Wishes. Take care 😊🐘🐑🦏🦓🦁🦒🧡💐🙏

[@susanfeneley]

@@janparish7895 So pleased you're well. I am as well, just the usual aches and pains. Don't know anyone who gets through life without them!😬 Incredibly sad about those elephants at ENP. They finally had a chance at a better life and then this happens. I enjoy the playfulness of their rescued ellies; to see them without chains or horrible conditions. As you said, so many good people in the world, but they generally aren't the ones looking to have their pictures in the news. And if they do, it's for something positive/uplifting. I'm so very happy to have HERD in my life to perk up the rough spots and see clearly what can be accomplished with love and respect. Yes, you are right I'm afraid...there's way too much hatred in the world. Sadly enough to fill a very deep sinkhole. HERD has had a boatload of despair this year. As hard as it's been for the subscribers, it's almost unfathomable how those at HERD have been affected. I'll never forget that video with Adine after Phabeni passed. Just tore most of us up. But, I'm determined things are going to get better soon...some would probably call me a Pollyanna!! 😉 As a dear friend of mine used to say, "This too shall pass!" Take good care of yourself, dear friend. 🐘🩷🫂🍁🍂

Thank you carers for always ensuring the family is always fed, healthy, and happy. Thank you Adine for always educating us about the herd family members. Today's coverage about their tails was very informative and interesting. They're all my favorite, but as you know Fishan captured my heart long ago. Hopefully his family members are pulling his tail in play ;) Thank you for taking the time to show his wound, and to speak about its current condition, and for the update about the Lazer. As always, seeing gorgeous, majestic Fishan makes my day, but especially today before hurricane Milton makes his entrance here...

That said, trunk loads of admiration and respect to you for all of your efforts with the sustainability essential to you all.

They have the ability to add joy and comfort in an otherwise troubled world. So, when the seasons change and the green plants have become brown to rest during the fall and winter season, can the Herd survive on the brown foliage or do you provide them a supplement food?

@@Vicki1951 Yes, every evening when the herd returns to the Homestead, they each have their own big bundle of branches, Bana grass and Lucerne. I believe 3 times a week HERD provides them with cabbages.

Hello dear Susan! Extreme weather conditions, natural disasters worldwide. Recently, floods in Europe, then devastating hurricanes in Florida, severe drought in southern Africa, heavy floods in Southeast Asia (Elephant Nature Park in Thailand completely destroyed).😭 I am also sending prayers to everyone involved, both humans and animals.🙏 Here, I'm completely broken. Imagine, my dear friend, all 8 cygnets have died, only the parents survived.😳😱😡 One day there were one less, the next day even fewer, then I saw the conservationists taking away the last carcass in a bag.😭😡 BIRD FLU! It's pandemic, almost all continents are affected, North America, Asia too. Lots of poultry to slaughter (cull?).😢 It is spread by wild birds but many tigers have also perished. I just hope you are well, dearest Susan! Take care! Sending big hugs, blessings!🖤🦢💔🥀🐘🐯🍀🧦⛑️🩺🩻🫂🙋🏻‍♀️

[@susanfeneley]

​@@Dnvr8083 Sorry my reply is so late. I was answering you and all of a sudden I lost everything. My dear sweet Agnes, you must be completely gutted! What a shock..could barely believe my eyes when I read your comment. I have been reading about the bird flu; having terrible time in Australia with the chicken population especially. That's the main reason I don't buy fresh farm eggs. Some of these diseases mutate and cross into other populations. Hadn't heard about tigers..that's scary. I hope the parents continue to survive. Perhaps the youngsters immune systems weren't fully developed. I think of how often you mentioned them and the joy they brought you. ENP is on my mind as well. Many of those rescues had a 'life' for the first time. And it somehow seems even more cruel that the one ellie lost was blind.😢 So much sadness and devastation this year in particular. I think it hits harder since we get news so fast nowadays that you can barely take a breath before the next thing. My prayers are with you dear heart...know that. You're probably in bed now; wish I'd seen your message sooner. It's 52°F here at 6:10 pm. Been windy lately and not much rain; red flag + 1 warnings for any burning. Our trees are turning.. the soft maples are so pretty. Wish we lived closer so I could give you a strong hug, but this will have to suffice 🫂🫂 Here's hoping you can rest after all this sadness. Hugs and love always.🐘🩷🧦🍁🙋‍♀️🌶🤓🐦🫶🙏🐿🦋🦢🐅🕊

[@Dnvr8083]

@@susanfeneley Ah, my Susan, your reply is not late at all! You are the dearest!!!🥰❤️🙏🫂 I really hope the 🦢parents will be fine permanently. You are right, the chicks' immune system was not yet developed enough. This is so very sad because their character was already visible, they were almost as big as their parents, they were beautiful big birds.💖🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢💖 Conservationists have already marked them with identifiers on the legs. It might also have been a problem that it is a rather small reservoir and perhaps too many different birds lived on it. Once in July, I counted 300 ducks napping under a tree in the shade.😅🦆🦆🦆And that wasn't all. Too many animals in a small space is never healthy. The case of tigers is special. These were tigers kept in Vietnamese zoos, which had been feeding the meat of sick chickens. ENP's loss is unfathomable. They wrote that they have managed to collect 10,000 USD in donations to date. Apart from the animals that fell victim, the whole area is covered by massive mud and so many tree fragments, wich the whole park could be rebuilt from. Only the decontamination will take months. Many of their vehicles had been washed away by the current, the medical equipments and supplies had been completely destroyed, I think also the kitchen, where the food was prepared for the animals and maybe also the accommodation for the tourist volunteers. Everything has to be rebuilt, meanwhile the hundreds of animals, including the large and partially handicapped elephants, are in a temporary place, they have to be taken care of.

@@susanfeneley My dear friend, I don't know if you have seen Lek in the news there, when she found the lifeless bodies of the two precious elephants lying on their stomachs among the many broken branches on the river bank, after the water had receded.

The death of a beloved animal is sad anyway, especially in such horrible circumstances. Yes Susan, we are bombarded with a lot of horrible news, the problem is that the human brain's trauma processing capacity falls short of this volume and speed. It probably wouldn't hurt to hold a news detox sometimes but it's quite difficult to implement this in practice. Dearest Susan, thank you so much for your heartfelt, comforting lines and virtual hugs, I really appreciated them!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ It's really a shame that we don't live close to each other. Take care my dear friend! Sending you big hugs too and wishing a peaceful night!🌶🐘🦢👭🫂🫂🍁🍁🍀🧦🌜🌠🙋🏻‍♀️

It’s so fascinating to learn about how they eat etc. I never knew elephants bite each others tails!😮. They are all so beautiful and they all love you Adine very much! You are their “human” mother! Blessings to all of you! ❤️😊🙏

Hace 3 semanas que tengo suscripción a,este canal.Soy de España. Empecé con los videos de Phabani.😢.Cuando me salen,no los veo.Son los unicos que quito. Por lo demás,cada dia me veo muchos.Estoy aprendiendo a leer ingles o,africano😅.Es que no vienen con subtítulos. Si me preguntan con cual elefante de los 15 o 16 que hay en el rebaño.......diria que con todos.Las pequeñas porque son muy bonitas,l@s de el medio,porque son obedientes y,l@s mayores porque son muy inteligentes. Mambo,me gusta mucho.Esta con las hormonas revolucionadas.Ya cambiará. Estoy de acuerdo con Adine.Me recuerda a,mis hijos.Cuando tú decias blanco,ellos decian negro.😂 Pero debo reconocer en el fondo de mi corazón,que siento mucho amor por Fishan.Es un elefante,que todo lo que tiene de grande en su cuerpo,lo tiene en su alma. Estoy de acuerdo con ,Nadine.Si algun dia,dejaran sueltos a algunos elefantes a,Fishan no.Tiene unas limitaciones en su pierna izquierda.Se,le meten 4 leonas hambrientas....En fin mejor no pensarlo. Me gusta mucho este canal.Se aprende mucho,de la vida de los elefantes. Por desgracia,todos no estan cuidados como estos. Felicitaciones a Adine,no porque sea la jefa,vemos que ella se implica en todo. A,todos los cuidadores que trabajan desde hace muchos años con estos elefantes.No tod@s valemos para eso.Son tan grandes,que nos dan miedo.A,tododos ellos mi❤.

Hello Loli from Spain. Thank you so much for watching our channel, the support is greatly appreciated. Mambo will always be that child that does not listen, hopefully as he "matures "it will change. Fishan does capture the hearts of many. Welcome and thanks again for the support. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🩷

[@hazelmaciver4076]

I swear every time a new video comes out , that Khanyisa is getting bigger !! I think she will become one of the larger female ellies in the HERD. I hope and pray that you dont get the floods that are happening all over the world, like the ENP in Thailand who had 2 elephants washed away, one of them was blind and was searching for signs of her dear friend. Unfortunately they were both washed up on the banks when the water went down a bit. . So very sad. Thank you and your team for caring and looking after your herd, you do a magnificent job.

It is really a very sad time for so many, 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

[@JonahzVoice3-4]

I went looking (googling) for the African meaning of "mambo." As usual, there were several depending on what tribal language was used. Basically, it could mean "conversation with the gods" or slang for "what's happening?" This could account for Mambo's solitary talking to The Creator whilest wandering around and getting into other elephant's business. Any reasons as to how Mambo got his name? Mambo is also a dance 🕺. 😊

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you for asking about our mischievous young bull. We named him, Mambo, meaning ‘King’ or ‘Chief’ in the Shona language, which is spoken in Zimbabwe, where his mother was born and where many of the carers are from.

@veronikaevers7324 What a dream that would be! I'd bet most of us agree with you totally. 😊🐘🫶

[@CANM-hv4ki]

Ah, to be a pampered princess. Khanyisa really loves being doted on by Adine and Herman. And Timi is standing by waiting for her little sister to finish her milk and sweet potatoes. This baby is truly surrounded by so much love and attention. And it's nice to see the women powerhouse side by side by side, the dominant female, the matriarch, and the matriarch-in-training. Mambo and Zindoga are being peaceful and calm today. It seems sparring is not included in today's activities for these two young bulls. Thank you for the update about Fishan and for finding ways to ensure his comfort, Adine. I hope the laser therapy would really help relieve his pains. I really love days with the herd, even if I can only join them virtually. God Bless These Beauties And HERD.🙏🐘❤

[@jslater9442]

In the Indian wildlife Trust they use the laser on Injured elephants all the time. Some of the elephants are in extremely bad shape when they arrive and the laser is a major tool they use. Aren't their skins as thick as African Elephants? Many of the injuries are old including broken bones so I presume they have thick scar tissue too.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Yes, African elephants generally have thicker and more wrinkled skin compared to Asian elephants. The wrinkled skin of African elephants helps them retain more water, which is beneficial for thermoregulation in their hotter environments. Then add to that scar tissue and it could make it more difficult for the laser to work successfully, so that is why we are discussing this with the necessary medical experts.

[@offbeat74]

Goedemorgen, what are all the bumps on Fishan's left side of the body??

[@susanfeneley]

@offbeat74 Due to the fracture of his front left leg from stepping in a hole in 2018, he has an ongoing pressure sore. This is because he lays/sleeps on the sand mounds on his left side, to use his stronger right side to rise up. HERD checks it every day and if it's open they clean and disinfect it to protect from anything getting inside. As Adine said, it's currently closed but Carers keep a close eye on it. All the Jabulani herd is checked morning and evening for any injury, so they are well loved and tended to faithfully. If you're not familiar with Fishan's story, please check out HERD, South Africa. 🐘🩵

Question: Are there really only two seasons in Hoedspruit? Summer and Winter? I'm trying to relate my weather (opposite to yours) to yours and here in the United States Mid-Atlantic region we're just starting Fall so I was thinking you're having Spring and your weather was like ours is in March right now. But maybe it's too warm to call it spring. No matter the weather though, the elephants and humans in this herd look happy heading out on their walk today. Thanks for all the updates and videos.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

The herd do enjoy their daily walks in the reserve. In Hoedspruit, South Africa, the seasons are as follows: Summer: December to February Autumn (Fall): March to May Winter: June to August Spring: September to November
