The Elephants Show Their True Colours With Stuffed Toys for Science

Learning from the Giants | A Study into the Personality of Elephants
We caught up with a new study with the Jabulani herd, by South African university student, Chloe Caister who is researching a very special facet of elephant life - personality, for her Masters project. The research looks into the science behind determining whether elephants have personalities. To do so, Chloe has been observing each member of the herd’s behaviour and recording her findings using certain protocols. She has finished creating a profile for each elephant, and has conducted novelty experiments, exposing the individual elephants to novelty stimuli to record their variation. Recording their reactions to different stimuli help determine and confirm our thoughts of each elephant's unique character
Here we watched as the herd reacted to numerous stuffed toys, including bears and elephants, out in the bush while they were foraging for the day. It was fascinating to watch the reactions and gain even deeper insight into the individual elephants' natures.
It was clear that while Somopane may be the peacemaker in the herd, he is still not afraid to take control of potential threats and knock them out if necessary. Limpopo was boldly curious too, kicking her toys, while Klaserie, Timisa, Pisa and Khanyisa took some time to warm up to the dolls, showing an instinctual weariness. But once confident that the animals were not threats, they all took to them with greater curiosity and thorough kicks - Khanyisa throws a few back kicks too!
Tokwe, Lundi, Jabulani and Fishanwere all happy to try a taste of the stuffed elephants and bears, before our carers asked them to stop, for their own benefit. The elephants are used to the carers' voices, as their protcetors, the way the carers are used to elephants' body language. Mambo takes a playful strut with one toy and Zindoga is sure to give a punch here and there too.
Kumbura is weary, which is typical of her sensitive and alert nature, but she doesn't give it trying to suss out the scene and eventually joins in in tossing the toys about.
Sebakwe is not overly interested, but does seem quite feisty on this outing. Bubi and Setombe also stretch out a trunk of curiosity. The carers stood close to make sure all went smoothly, and as soon as it started, it ended as the elephants found better snacks to chew on in the surrounding bush.
Chloe will be compiling a report on her overall findings which we look forward to sharing with you soon.
Chloe says, “My project aims at studying the behaviour of the Jabulani Herd, specifically them due to their unique set-up as rescued elephants. Through various behavioural experiments, we can determine their personality types and how these affect the interpersonal dynamics within the herd. The Jabulani Herd is well known for its acceptance of orphaned elephant calves. This makes them an integral part of elephant conservation in Southern Africa. By understanding their individual personalities and needs we can cater their care to best suit them as individuals and continue to enhance their quality of life and hopefully we can apply this study to other animals striving to provide quality care for rescued animals.”
Knowledge is power! It is part of our ongoing objectives to generate new research into elephants, especially in areas where a lot of scientific research is lacking, for instance in the orphan calves and their integration into a herd, as well as albinism in elephants.
Which of the elephants amazed or surprised you the most in this morning personality study?
Please note: We don’t take research students or interns frequently and also don’t accept volunteers or visitors to the orphanage, for the wellbeing of the elephants. This is also to limit foot traffic, maintain hygiene standards and to prevent orphans from bonding with outsiders.

How lovely that Fishan always acknowledges you, Adine, when you greet him. Beautiful bonding.

This made me giggle and laugh as they nonchalanty lob the soft toys away after discovering they are not good to eat! A spectacular lob from Zindoga!

[@bari2883]

All animals have their own personalities. Lovely to see .

[@karenatha7890]

I think the elephants are pretty much too smart for this. A little diversion then time to eat and be elephants. As always, a joy to see them. It was very generous to allow Chloe to study and I hope she does well in her future.

[@jacquelineganske7809]

Agreed.

I noticed that little Sunshine is in protective circle while adults check out the toys to ensure her safity.

[@lionfan9587]

I loved this! Not sure what it was supposed to show but it was fun to watch all their reactions, especially Timisa's, standing over top of it to show what a big strong girl she is!

[@jessicafrench2538]

Every critter great and small, air, land and sea has his/her own individual personality!

[@claraedouwesdekker6389]

Well, now we know. They are just super intelligent. Knew there was something different, examined it, found it utterly useless, not even edible, and moved on! Clever, clever Ellies. Not exposing the younger ones to any bad habits!

[@gabe-po9yi]

Utterly useless, lol. They sure were - in the sense of the ellies’ minds, as you state.

[@terryford8280]

Amazing just how intelligent these animals are. I truly can watch them all day, everyday! They never cease to amaze me! I personally want to thank you all so much for sharing this opportunity with us to witness these amazing creatures!!!👍💕🐘😘🙏

[@cherylanderson9126]

They make me feel calm. To be in close proximity just makes my heart swell. I never tire either of watching these precious animals.

[@bonnieenright]

People able to work with elephants like this are blessed.

[@jmac7133]

They sacrifice a lot to help those animals, but they are so passionate about it. Adine knew they needed to raise the orphans next the the herd so she built that orphanage, the older orphans seem to know the little ones will be coming to the herd. It’s lovely to see human helping elephants, and elephants helping the humans to help those orphans. Such a beautiful situation Adine and the carers have made. They are blessed, but they are dedicated to the cause!! When you see the HERD take in a baby, provide comfort and protection, and then greet them the next day with excitement, it’s so beautiful. The wild elephants who have been mothers, are so great. It’s like the elephants are the ones who built the HERD, because they are so dedicated to the cause as well.

[@bevemslie8797]

Oh how beautiful it is to watch these intelligent Ellie’s. My all time favourite animals. They’re extremely intelligent. I love how cautious they were before the playing and munching took place. I’d love to see them playing with the large exercise balls. I think that would be very interesting. Thank you for this beautiful and amazing video. Xxx

[@LadyRustedKnight]

We no longer have a favorite, all of them are magnificent in an individual way. Just as each carer of these amazing creatures is unique and blessed to have this life adventure.

[@valeriesnyder97]

I completely agree! They all are favorites 💖

[@LotsofLisa]

Exactly! Love them all! 💝

[@tamo9520]

Once they feel no threat, I love the way they brush it against their chest to get the feeling and sensation of how soft it is. And of course we all see how many of them want to test it's taste and find out if it is edible! lol Especially Lundi who was bound and determined to find that hidden munchie/treat that she thought just had to be hidden inside that darn thing somewhere!

[@DianaBamaRN]

This was very interesting to watch. What amazed me the most was the level of trust and communication between the elephants and the humans. Each time the elephants were told to leave it they immediately did so! When taking our puppy to Dog Behavior school those were the 2 words we were taught to use when she would attempt to put something in her mouth she should not have in her mouth! A pill, or something poisonous or harmful. 11 years later it still works! What a wonderful relationship you have with the herd. How blessed you each are to have that as a part of your everyday lives! Much gratitude to you for bringing these wondrous creatures into my life. 🙏

[@allisoncompeaux3981]

Well said. I am also glad I found The Herd. They bring beauty and calmness to my life too.

[@joybanks1602]

I noticed you used all the adjectives describing each elephant's personality, i.e., "curious", "inquisitive", "mischievous", etc. No need for studies. You got this!!!!!

[@linaev4403]

In my NON-expert, humorous, opinion, when you first set the toys out and the elephants were huddled together, the elephants were questioning if this was a joke😂. They thought they may be getting new snacks. What the heck!! It is soft but not at all tasty... 😂❤❤ It is amazing that these large animals know to be cautious, in life and may be stressed by something so small. They don't take much for granted. Brilliant.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

😂😂

[@michellesheaff3779]

The Ellies live in a world where a harmless twig may turn out to be a cruel deadly snare. They're right to be cautious! Frankly the toys made me nervous because they reminded me the Russian army during their disastrous invasion of Afghanistan (1980s) used to put toys by landmines as bait for children.

[@Bevie8770]

THIS VIDEO HAS MADE MY DAY! I AM SITTING HERE LAUGHING AT THE DIFFERENT REACTION FROM THE JABULANI HERD ELEPHANT FAMILY! THEY ARE TRULY AMAZING!

[@deborahhustad1201]

That was fun to see their reactions. Thanks for the cute video.

[@Buba417]

It’s interesting that at the beginning of the video, although the herd doesn’t look stressed by the toys, the two youngsters stay in the middle of the protective circle as far as possible from the edges. 🧸 💕🐘💕

[@jmac7133]

They were not stressed, but were careful because of a new situation, safety first when it comes to the babies!!!

[@debbieschultz9768]

Tokwe was funny. It was like he was saying if I can’t eat it I’ll swing it!! Timisa was also funny when she was showing the toy who’s boss. It’s interesting to see how the elephants react to something like this. They are so smart! Thank you for this entrainment ❤️😂🐘🐘

[@jenisecoronado5555]

It is very interesting to see how cautious they all are when encountering an unknown, foreign & inanimate object in their natural environment!

[@evangeline3152]

My favorite moment was Kumbura just looking at Adine like why did you put that thing on MY baby??? 😂

[@Grayce523]

They're curious and pick them up then toss them away like "get this thing out of here! 🙄" 🤣 I just adore them. Now they need a few of those giant balls to kick around and play with. Or a giant stuffed giraffe.

[@katharineellis3809]

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Scientists me: the elephants found the stuffed bears are not tasty, and you can't use them for much skin care either. But they fly nicely.

[@Debbie.Softie]

Such a good boy and girl dropping the toy he was about to eat! It was quite funny how they tossed around the toys.

[@anabelalmeida2276]

Kumbura amazed me as usual. So very protective of her sweet Sunshine. Klaserie surprised me. She’s usually curious but seemed like she let the others try it out first before moving in! And well! The teenage boys, Mambo and Zindoga, just acted like, well, teenage boys.

[@mary-anneswanson8445]

That was both interesting and endearing to watch :) Seeing everyone's reactions :) I had to smile when Kumbura moved in to protect Khanyisa from the toy :) Thank you ,that was a unique opportunity to see the herd react to something totally foreign to them.

🤣🤣🤣 lundi munchin on a bear hahahaaha! Jabu was really going to eat his 🤣 i loved this

[@livlovely2707]

Glad you allowed Chloe to do this; while I understand you cannot let the public in, I believe that letting students in (carefully chosen) should be allowed. We have much to learn from this herd and that can only help with their care. We also need people to care for them in the future as the herd grows and the caretakers grow older. But thank you for sharing the herd with us; I adore elephants and love every minute you share them with us!

Quite interesting to see them work it out their own way with the intruder toys!! Each has their own special way! Beautiful family as usual! Love to each for their own unique ways!

[@BBAngel7kids]

This was so fun to watch how each of them reacted to the toy. You should do this more with like big balls or put treats inside something and let them work out how to get it out. That would be so awesome to see! ⚽🧸🐘❤️

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

On the whole, the Herd has reacted according to what best characterized them as invidual Tokwe, Setombe, Lundi after the discovery making the circle around the babies Jambulani, Somopane near Bubi and Fishan after a quick interest it was treated with contempt (on the outside) Limpopo with interest, Kumbura protecting Miss Sunshine, Timisa inquisitive but with caution, Zindoga scornfully "not even scared" So interesting indeed as each and every video !

[@dbbdvm]

What a wonderful assessment of the herd members!👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@marianna7325]

I didn't need teddy bears to know these elephants have their own personalities. Was funny to watch the elephants playing with teddy bears. They were all wondering about the humans and their strange habits. LOL

Fascinating! It must have been really interesting for Adine and the carers to observe how each reacted. Lundi was bound and determined to make a meal out of one, lol. Thanks for the captions so we know what we’re looking at. EDIT: I’d been hoping to see snippets of the ongoing research project, so this was really cool, thanks. Although I like anything Jabulani herd.

[@denisewalberg5803]

This video was very interesting. Quite comical with the elephants taking turns with their tossing & kicking of the stuffed animals & a bit scary when they wanted to eat them. Great job on your part in preventing that Adine & Carers!

[@shirleylaboy603]

What a wonderful enrichment exercise. They had to decide if they were friend or foe, edible or not and then they were more comfortable and started playing with them. Fishan after sniffing out ones near him decided to pick up the gray one and give it a toss. Jabulani was a character after throwing it about decided to have a taste. I'm very impressed how they all handled the situation. 🙂❤

Experiments with elephants! An observer's delight/paradise!

[@cherylpeevy5010]

Some are using the stuffed bears as like a sponge or something to wipe their skin or throw dirt on their skin. The toy has a practical use. Other ellies are using it as a toy to toss around, put on their heads or backs to play and provide amusement while others try to put it in their mouths to taste until Adine sternly calls out a "Leave it." And some kick the toy around as if to say they have no use. Seems like little Khanyisa doesn't care for the toys. She would much rather graze and use her bush time more wisely. In the end, the toy provided some mental, physical, and emotional stimulation depending on how each elephant chose to use it.

[@AnimaltestedLoveapproved]

Wow ; very interesting experiment . Over all I feel that most or if not all of the elephants ended up trying to eat the stuffed toy and then tossing them aside maybe twice ! I think your right ,each had their own reaction to the new invader and their personalities emerged. Jabulani had me in stitches places the toy several times on his forehead, it was as if he felt comfort or somehow the " material felt good. I say this because my daughter used to put a sock or stuffed toy over her forehead to sleep ,I guess it was her comfort; that is what Jabulani reminded me of. Most of the toys were tossed aside: no purpose,can't eat ,but Timisa, Khanyisa being a little younger showed bravery and still timid about this new thing in their browsing area I was deeply touched by Kumbura almost running to Khanyisa when khanyisa had this stranded invader on her back and was starting to showing signs of stress .Kumbura showed a very protective side ,very sweet! I think the experiment did show their own personalities! overall elephants just felt if I can stomp it ,can't eat it !doesn't hurt us ,eh toss it aside!! Hee hee Well done! On last note ,me being a worry wort I was very worried about them swallowing the toys as many animals do!I do know you had carerers watching but I would have been a nervous wreck 😂 Elephants are to smart notbto put all the way in mouth though ; each feeling yuck ; no purpose , so I'll bjust toss aside, away from me!!😁🥰❤

[@Jude300c]

I like how gently they investigate at first, just to make sure they arent living and accidentally crush them. Then, like children, put the object in their mouth to check texture and see if its edible. Since it didnt taste poisonous the carers instructions to go no further, help them know that it is not safe to eat. Cool to watch.

[@Jude300c]

15:28 Accidentally stepping on the bear nearly gave Somopane a heart attack, which points to the elephants usual care in where they place their feet in relation to others or objects.

This was funny to watch. Once the toys didn't appear to be a threat they tried to eat them. I would love to see how they would react to a toy that moves.
