Pool time for baby Chaba & BunMa 🐘🐘 💦- EleFlix

[@evangelieabs]

these two were saved from hell on earth………can t stop thinking about all the other elephants still suffering…..

[@susancerezo401]

How wonderful to see Bunma being able to be the child she never was . Really joyful !!!💗🐘🌏

[@alison__16]

I can't believe that someone would own a baby elephant and rather watch them become ill and suffer terribly than get them the help they desperately need. What is wrong with this person?! There is no excuse for their ego and greed when a little life is at stake!

[@elizabethkorb7122]

Extortion, plain and simple.

[@veronicaoliveiro6367]

Praying those elephants in need of help can come over to you soon.

[@deenibeeniable]

I am hoping that owner will allow you to care for the baby at ENP.

[@masliahtalib1980]

Bunma much more better than before

[@cynthiamasse9596]

Awwww....she plays too...she still little child...

[@TheCaptaininsaino]

Bun Ma is still so young. She plays like a little kid!

[@SkeensSeattleUSA]

Lek, thank you for rescuing everyone 💕. I have donated to Eleflix & Gentle Giants to help with food. -Seattle 🇺🇸

[@Patty-ut3co]

WOW BunMa was having such a good time. I was laughing. She was kicking all over the place and enjoying the water. I laughted so hard when she put her weight on it and bust the ball. So funny. Did it scare her? As you said Lek, she is only 12 years old and never got to be a baby to play and enjoy life and all this is new to her as much as Chaba. I really enjoyed watching both of them, but today BunMa got the most attention to watch. She is beginning to enjoy her new life that she never knew existed before. I am so happy for her and Chaba. She will never endure pain and suffering and no mom. You do such loving and beautiful acts for all. Some day they will be able to roam in the jungle where no one can hunt them anymore. God loves all animals as you do. Thank you for all your love. I really mean this. You are so special. I see how happy you are with them and with the babies and your Fai Mai are with you. Amazing. Take care of yourself and stay safe. Till next time.

[@melodiefrances3898]

Patty, so well put ❤❤❤

[@zalialyon1853]

You really don'r have to weigh the mom..you can see how much more healthy she is..her cheeks have filled n she soo very much more relaxed n she plays like a child..thanks fir sharing

[@melodiefrances3898]

❤❤❤❤

[@FirehorseUniqueandRare66]

Bless Bunma 🙏So wonderful to see her reclaiming her stolen childhood Thank you for making that possible for her ❤ 🕉🙏

[@melodiefrances3898]

And when little Chaba runs!!!! So cuuuuuute!!!

[@mjmatus5207]

Bunma looks so relaxed and Chaba is cutie pie and looks soo happy🥰 and thanks to the Nanny cuz she's helping them a lot too! 💜

[@eMrSKgold]

Lek is such an exemplary Leader to all - animals, pets as well as all the people who work there… the world needs more like her!

[@cacatr4495]

Lek models Love and leadership to all that see and recognize it, and it feeds the soul. We so often convey that we're here to see the elephants, that we love them, but Lek conveys Love to all creatures, great and small, including people, and we feel it! What a difference Lek makes in the lives of so many, as a result.

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

You see how much better both Chaba and Bunma look! You can also see how much Bunma needed to have a Mama herself, and what an amazing role Grannanny fills. She isn’t just a nanny, she is a Mom to sweet Bunma too. It’s wonderful to see Bunma get to enjoy life and feel all she should have, no restraints, no pain, and with a family. I also truly hope the owner will give the baby to you. Whatever our prayers are worth, we are praying for that little angel too🙏🌸🌺🌼

[@alison__16]

So beautiful to see Bunma playing and having fun. What a complete change from the frightened and stressed elephant she was when she first arrived 🐘😊💕

[@audscoppens3563]

Such joy thankyou watch every day.

[@anisa9756]

😂😂😂Mommy needs a soccer ball. She is so young I am so happy to see her playing. She has stolen my heart.💞💖💓

[@donnarae1883]

Look how relaxed the mother is...if she could talk she would tell you how very grateful she is that you saved her and her baby..as are we....🥰♥️💯

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

Little Chaba and mom Bun Ma are both adapting so very well. Great to hear Chaba has gained weight. She is quite the little kicker too. I can think of a couple of NFL teams that could use a good kicker!🤣🏈Mom Bunma is showing her young age. She still likes the small pool and playing with the balls...and destroying them!!! Thanks for the update.💓🐘🤗

[@aimwilliamson6609]

I am praying for things to get better for the Elephants you are waiting to rescue 🙏 I hope the greedy owner will give you the Mother, baby, and sister needing your food and care❣ I just can't understand how someone can own an Elephant. Baby Chaba would not survive without EleFlix 🐘🌸🐘🌸🐘🌸🐘🌸🙏🌻🍀🌈🍼🍼

[@erikalebron8658]

I loooove watching them play what is wrong with the people who want to keep elephants for their personal gain it makes me angry what people do to animals in general should all be punishable by law which is basically abusing animals from dogs and cats to elephants tigers etc.

[@cacatr4495]

You're right about how vital and life-saving Elephant Nature Park (the place that this EleFlix channel shows) is for Chaba and so many others! So important! They're so precious! :)

[@dixiee3554]

So sweet to see Bunma playing. Dear little teenage mama.💕

[@chadsimmons6347]

Chaba kicked the balloon a long way, very cute

[@roses9339]

Bunma is having a fantastic fun time, lovely to see. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)

[@ChooseCompassion]

My prayers have been answered. I’m so pleased that these two are adjusting and healing as quickly as they are. Peace and bless Blessings to everyone ENP. Including all the generous sponsors that allow this extraordinary organization to continue to care for all the species. Mad respect and much love 🙏🏼❤️🐘🍀☮️

[@melodiefrances3898]

Three very different sizes of ellies! Little Chaba, medium momma, and big nanny 💕 ❤ 💖

[@JD-nd1oz]

Mummy Bunma at the end. What a joy to watch! She was really having fun with the bouncy balloons 🎈 🤣 Had me laughing in tears..🤣🎈🐘❤🐘

[@mariacicarelli6238]

the owner almost kills her of hunger why return to that abuser! please do not return that mother and calf

[@Jude300c]

If the owners dont give the right she has no choice, but she said she will send food with them when they go

[@pascalecleriediaz3816]

Bunma and baby Chaba are permanent residents at ENP! Lek is talking about baby Lana and her sister who are living with the ex owner of Bunma and Chaba. She wants to rescue them as well .

[@pascalecleriediaz3816]

I saw this post on Eleflix Facebook and Eleflix said that Bunma and baby Chaba are permanent residents of ENP!

[@vblackwell3347]

So heartwarming to see that Burma was rescued in time to celebrate & enjoy the childhood she should have had much sooner! 💖💖💖

[@lindaellen8759]

What a cute little girl as she runs fast. I wonder if she thinks she will be left behind. Bunma is still a teenager and she wants to play.

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

YOGA AND EXERCISE BALLS!!!! You can get them cheap on eBay, and they are supposed to withstand quite a bit of weight. Maybe Bunma would enjoy them?

[@Danika_Nadzan]

So wonderful to see BunMa having fun! Well worth losing one of the balls... Chabba is always a cutie, and I love to watch her run! She got good kicks on the ball too. They both look so happy and healthy now, thanks to your loving care! I hope the other owners will release their elephants to you soon!🥰🥰

[@lindaellen8759]

How adorable that Chaba runs after her Mother. She runs like a racer.

[@Clodi19]

so cute !! a beautiful private pool with 3 balloons 🎈 baby is so happy ! with mum !!! adorable baby Chana !!! 💛🐘💦🥲🎈🇫🇷

[@helgareichert1999]

I am sooo appy ,when I see these Elephants.. they are Happy Like Lek and Derrick.Thank you For Work from Lek Derrick and from These Team Love Chiang Mai.park.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Look how fast Chaba came out of the water when Bunma got in. It looks like she’s learned to steer clear when Mama plays, lol.

[@cacatr4495]

Hello, Gabe, have you visited my playlists yet, my ENP playlist and my Critically Urgent & Important playlist? They're not just videos, but also Lek's interviews, and the educational playlist descriptions that enrich the reader. Time is going by, and the Heber horses need our voices to speak for them, as their capture and removal has been planned for the coming months. In my studies, I have learned (and this used to be common knowledge) that animals have internal regulatory systems (this is true of elephants and horses and others) that, under times of severe drought or famine, extreme chronic dangers, or where/when the number of their species in a small area are at their upper limit, they won't conceive. As such, their own regulatory system controls their numbers; there is no need for external controls. The Heber horses have provably maintained stable numbers for more than 20 years, records have been kept. Further, only 11% of forage species are in common with cattle (they eat different grasses from one another), so competition for food (between horses and cattle) is not an actual issue. I don't create videos, I create playlists, and in those playlist descriptions I share important information that I believe you will value. Both elephants and horses are keystone species, unlike all the ruminant species (those species having multiple-chambered stomachs), because as large, herbivoreal migrators, having single stomachs, elephants and wild horses process their food a single time, lightly, such that their deposits are rich with nutrients, enzymes and seeds that nourish the Earth and re-seed the soil, increasing vegetation for the ample supply of all the species of their regions. Everywhere they go in their migrations, they are nourishing and reseeding the Land, as no other large species can do. Elk, Deer, Bighorn Sheep, Sheep, Pronghorn, Moose, Bison, Cattle all have multi-chambered stomachs that heavily process their food, stripping it of nutrients, such that their waste can't nourish. Further, both elephants and wild horses are able to smell water more than 6' under ground so they know where to dig for it if there's a need, and both of those species have been witnessed doing just that, which provides water for all the species of their area. I invite you again to make use of my playlists. These animals have keystone purposes on the Earth, their presence is of crucial service to the Earth, so people need to learn more about them and to stand for their preservation, using their voices to speak for them. Almost all former wild horse management areas have already been zero'd out, such that if the captures don't stop, the wild horse will be extinct in the lower 48. The Heber horses are the LAST herd in the US that has not been "legally" interferred with, they haven't been darted with anti-fertility drugs, they haven't been previously rounded up, and there is no righteous cause for them to be now. Other herds in the US that remain on the land have and are being darted with anti-fertility drugs, when their own biological systems already regulate such things. They want to do the same thing to both Asian and African elephants in the Wild as well (as reported by Lek in a video at minute-mark given in my playlist description), even though both Asian and African elephants are sorely endangered as it is, which would halt reproduction, causing/hastening extinction of these valuable keystone species. The very horses that have already been darted with anti-fertility drugs will also go extinct because they're not reproducing, which will leave no keystone species on the land, which will in turn cause desertification (the making of deserts.) I welcome you to see and share my playlists. :) For those that don't know, just under the playlist title of every playlist, there is 3 short horizontal lines with a + sign on it (when hovering your cursor over it, the words appear "Save Playlist"), that when clicked, allows a person to save that playlist to their YT page for easy access, so they don't have to hunt for it. Saving desired playlists to one's library like that does make accessing them a lot easier, and when others stop by your channel page, they can access it too, which is a way to share that playlist with others. I hope this info helps. :) (By clicking on 'Created Playlists' on my playlist-page, one can see all of them.)

Happy to see them as they enjoy life..

So sweet, with this little one playing in the water.😄❤ God bless each and every one of you at the park. INCLUDING the cleaning people, the guards, the food providers, and the folks, who stay at the office. 😎👍

[@cacatr4495]

:) 00:13 Bunma is filling out, and seeing her again standing next to Sri Nuan, it's clear that she's growing. What a delight! :) Baby Chaba, the same! Sweetness . . It's so great to see Bunma play! The smile of her heart is showing. :)

[@ChooseCompassion]

I love you Lek. You have the biggest heart on the planet. I so appreciate you helping your neighbors and I really do hope they surrender these elephants over to you before they get too sickly or worse. It seems to me if you really love your elephant you’ll do anything to keep them safe and healthy. IMHO

It was so nice to see the young mother jumped in the pool and played around with the balls. Don't see very often. 🙏😇🥰

[@kkendell954]

Can’t wait for Bunma and Chabba to join the Pyi and Wan family heard so that can both frolic around the sanctuary ......Bunma is still so young!

[@CristinaF210]

to know that these animals feel stress and sadness its even more important to save them and end cruelty, now they gained weight bc they are calm and happy, shes so cute

[@darilynadams7281]

[@miemiehandley9813]

Hope and pray that the owner of Lana will allow them to be in your place this is only for the good and health for elephant, they should think about that.

[@bari2883]

Bunwa is so funny. She had me lol with the balls. Love seeing her getting to revisit her childhood and playing freely. Could we have a fundraiser to get enough funds to offer that the owner couldn't refuse and the elephant could be bought from him and live her life there at ENP?

BunMa is a beautiful elephant, those long legs. Looks like a "super model"😊

[@marybarratt2649]

I wish owners would see the sense in your taking their elephants and giving them a life. You are good trying to help by giving food, but I wish they would do the right thing and let you have them.

[@jennypeters4012]

Awwww I never seen BunMa so playful 😍😍😍🥰

[@vblackwell3347]

It's such a treat to see Burma being young enough to share her "childhood" w/ her daughter. Chaba has learned though, to "run for her life" when Mom gets caught up in the playing. IE the time on the mud pile or now, in the pool. Too funny, but so sweet! 💕

[@cacatr4495]

Glad to see you here; I had replied to you at Lek's birthday-song video with an answer to your question I recently found. Hope your computer is doing better these days. :) These two are looking so much better, so glad!

[@cacatr4495]

In answer to your month-old question to me that I just found, wonderful nanny Sri Nuan was rescued along with baby Dok Ngern (who is now almost 21) in Surin, when she (Dok Ngern) was a baby just out of the Crush-pen, wounded and bleeding, and Sri Nuan adopted her then and there to be as her own daughter. Dok Ngern, for your memory, is the mother of 12 yr. old bull Chang Yim, 8 yr. old Dok Mai, and 5 yr. old bull Dok Rak. She and Sri Nuan on arrival to ENP became part of a family herd (maybe Mae Bua Tong's family herd, who is Faa Mai's mother, because they are herd with their family now for years.) They both healed and normalized to the point of thriving so much that baby Dok Ngern became physically and sexually mature at a young age, conceiving Chang Yim when she was only 6, delivering him at age 8, then Dok Mai 4 years later, and even more thrivingly, only 3 years later (which is astounding,) Dok Rak. 3 years between calves is supreme thriving, even more so than 4 years between, which is thriving. Sri Nuan nurtured her through all her babies and nannied all of them, and Mae Bua Tong's babies too, Faa Mai and her big sister, Tong Jaan, who is 4 years older, such that Tong Jaan was an infant to be nannied when Sri Nuan and Dok Ngern first arrived. Sri Nuan had worked in logging, trekking and street begging, I believe in that order, and one night when she was chained, she was hungry and tried to escape to find food, a mahout shot her with a slingshot, causing her to be blind in her left eye. She has nannied so many of the ENP babies, and you're so right, she is wonderful. I've been learning so much, and about elephants too, like that we share body language with them (our arms > their trunk), and they have biological-processes that control their conception (as do horses and others) such that if there's ongoing drought or famine, or too much danger (like abuse or torture), or if there are too many elephants in an area, they won't conceive. Stay in touch somehow if you can. I try to share ele-things I'm learning with Gabe, so you can check Gabe's threads if you like. :)

I didn’t like how Sri Nuan kept kicking Chaba! What’s wrong with her? She’s supposed to be a good nanny. 🙁

[@cacatr4495]

She is a good nanny. She didn't kick hard; we have to trust her that there was a good reason that she didn't want Chaba on that breast. Maybe Sri Nuan has an owie or a sore spot that Chaba was on, or maybe Chaba's teeth are growing bigger, so to comfort-suckle may cause Sri Nuan pain. I don't know the reason, but nannies will communicate with their feet, and for sure, Sri Nuan had good reason for not wanting Chaba on that side. Remember, what we see as a 'kick', for them is not a kick, but communication. For all the similarities between humans and elephants, there are differences, and that is one of them. :)

[@cacatr4495]

Doesn't want to share food?

[@Yachtbebe]

She seems a little different last few times I've seen her. Funny you mention this... I wondered if she was sick or something...she seems a little off.

[@donna2165]

@@cacatr4495 watch the first few minutes of the video she's laying her trunk on the food

[@cacatr4495]

@@donna2165 I watched the video twice, attentively. She laid her trunk on a *small portion of food, not all. Bunma was eating and eating. Sri Nuan didn't try to claim all the food for herself; she didn't try to keep Bunma from eating. ~ Chaba doesn't actually nurse from her; it's comfort-suckling. She nurses only from her mother. In the beginning of the video, Sri Nuan did let Chaba suckle for a bit, then she told her 'No' with her foot, as elephants use all of their body to communicate. I know Sri Nuan is blind in her left eye, and that in the past, she had communicated the same way for Chaba to not linger in her left blind-spot where she couldn't see her. This is her right side, and while I don't know why she didn't want Chaba to continue to suckle, there's a reason that we just don't know (yet.) I am trusting that Lek will tend her and the situation if there's a need or pain that needs attention.

[@robbie_]

Was wondering why granny kept kicking Chaba away.

[@cacatr4495]

Sri Nuan had a good reason, even if we don't know what it was, maybe she has a sore spot on that side, or maybe Chaba's teeth are growing and causing Sri Nuan pain now, but she wanted Chaba to not do whatever it was that caused a problem. They do communicate with their feet, so she was telling Chaba what she wanted her to know. She does communicate with love, so that is good. :)
