There’s Lots of Elephant Activity at the Waterhole Today!

[@beckybanta126]

Thankful that you continue to show the names of each elephant. Even with the guide of a previous posting describing each ones' marking, I keep trying to learn. You all are so appreciated❣️🐘

[@herdelephantorphanage]

That is great to hear, we are happy you are enjoying it!

[@gabriellew6467]

Setombe munching take-away on the go, the elephant version of sneaking a pizza slice on the way home 😊. Even when the African weather is at its most unforgiving, this lucky group can still wallow in refreshing water. Thank you, everyone at Herd, for bringing antics and reality and the beautiful landscape into homes far away ❤

[@tenzinyangdroen1618]

So glad that the elephants and other wildlife have access to water in these difficult times, thanks to your skillful efforts. The plan to generate power through solar panels and use pumps to reach ground water for the wildlife is priceless 👍 ❤

Hello 🌹 Mambo and Zindoga, 🎶boys, boys, boys🎶 Always fighting😊 Time to play, Time to be serious. Thanks for sharing, so glad seeing water. Have a nice day, all🌿

I would love to see Sony produce a 45 minute IMAX 3D film showing the Jabulani Herd going about their daily business. Seeing Khanyisa run toward Adine in glorious IMAX 3D would be a visual potpourri. And capturing the elephants trumpeting in Dolby Stereo would be a perfect aural counterpart.

Setombe working on her "elephant" walk debut - but instead of the traditional book on her head approach, she went for the "stick on my back" theory to keep those shoulders straight and balanced ... with a snack as well.

[@lisagerman2111]

Question re size of elephant tusks - are 'super tuskers' a different subspecies from the herd shown, and are elephants undergoing a more rapid evolution towards smaller tusks as a result of human poaching & predation? Thank you for your work - educating man is difficult, with results seen generationally vs immediate (we're stupid in comparison with elephant society).

I am so happy for them and I’m happy that you’re able to give them water and the other wildlife water. That’s some thing that we all can’t do without. I just love it when they throw the sand and mud or whatever up over their backs with their trunks. I just think that’s the cutest thing. Yes Khanisa is really growing fast! She is so precious. I love seeing her beautiful pink skin and those gorgeous eyes. I hope that all the elephants are doing well and I hope that all the cares and Adine you too are doing well. Thank you for opening your arms and hearts to these wonderful magnificent creatures. God bless each and everyone of you stay safe. 🙏😊✝️

The opening of this video definitely put a smile on my face watching the 2 boisterous boys Mischievous Mambo and Zestful Zindoga enjoying a passionate sparring match is bound to lift the spirit. All one can hear through most of this scene is the flowing and splashing of the water as it’s thrown over big grey bodies to keep cool and refreshed then combined with a quick moment of the 2 sisters Khanyisa Braveheart & Timisa Cupcake 🧁 as they walk side by side with their family their steady gentle swooshing footfalls calming & soothing the soul as they walk through their wilderness,a true ASMR video in my humble opinion.
