[@shirleys2295]

with her excitement to run and play also shows her health. well done herd.

[@markeviastripleh3492]

🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️ I love African elephants so much

[@carolynminter162]

I believe Princess K enjoys her allomother's chasing after her. 😆 🐘

[@sueillidge]

Kumbura is just so sweet and an absolute darling the way she looks after Khanyisa ♥

[@jamesfreeman2258]

Oh to be a baby again where just about everything you did was looked upon with tenderness, laughter and how special you are to those who love you. To be uninhabited without harm to others is so liberating. You go baby girl!!!

[@rosiehill4096]

This video is a warm and very happy one!!🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@my2cents980]

That little stinkers really coming into her own now! Her attitude and confidence is showing in so many fun and exciting ways! ❤️🐘💕🙏

[@felicitysummers9140]

I agree love seeing the little one starting to be yes confident but naughty at times just love her but also how the herd are so bonded 😍💕👌

[@lorrainewade6956]

I so 💘this animal they are so protective and loving ❤

[@Hakulanni]

I love the names of the Elephants. Those African names are so beautiful... Also it's wonderful to see Khanisha doing so well and to see the protective Adults follow her to protect her. What amazing creatures, to take care of her as if they had birthed her. Thank you all for all the good work you do!

[@aussiegardener1773]

How delightful. I could see her being naughty by swishing her tail and running around ... Such a special little girl that is loved by everyone. She is going to be a great leader one day, she just has that temperament.

[@m.f.richardson1602]

I'm so glad she can run freely and is safe. Thank you, Keepers💕🇺🇲

[@mariemannix8432]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, ELEPHANTS!!!!!! How BEATIFULL are they !!! PLEASE stay SAFE, GOD BLESS YOU AMAZING ELEPHANTS********

[@SS-nz2bo]

So happy to see her getting more and more confident and mischievous!

[@barbarabourgeois888]

Hurrah for Kumbura and Limpopo!! They are such Sweet Girls!! 💜🐘💜🐘💜 Khanyisa is surrounded by these “Trunks of Love!” 💜🐘💜🐘💜🐘💜🐘💜

[@cattailer1077]

LoL! She's such a toddler discovering her independence!🥰

[@Elizabeth-iw3wd]

Two year old running off to explore herself 😊 Always good to know the adults, especially Kumbura always keeping an eye on her. Lovely video thank you 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@shelley-anneharrisberg7409]

Lovely how Limpopo and Kumbura go after her to make sure she is protected. Khanyisa has a great family - elephant and human!🥰🐘🐘

[@bari2883]

You all need the highest praise. This shows how healthy and happy she has become. All of the time and effort put into this little girl and her whole herd is showing . She gave me the impression that she was showing Adine that she can do it on her own. 🙏💕

[@erinvaughn3739]

What An Incredible Experience 💝💖💝💖💝💖💝💖💝

[@england6013]

She's so full of fun. She just knows if she was in trouble the herd would rush to her. If she wasn't an elephant, I would swear she was a monkey. Timisa really is the prettiest elephant

[@laylam3042]

Agree about little Timi. She reminds me of a smaller Kumbura.

[@ishouldbesleeping1354]

Young Elli gets the ZOOMIES …. Awe 👒

[@barbarachambers7974]

I am amazed at the intelligence of these animals. They know the difference between excitement and being uncomfortable/scared. Khanyisa can run and play and still feel safe.😊

[@lauriebradley8295]

I see how she protects her eyes🥰

[@jankent5677]

No stopping her unless you are a milk bottle with marula fruit 😜

[@canadiangemini3335]

This melted my heart.

[@paulalim1476]

OMG, YES! Limpopo looks exactly like her mother!

[@just-fh4rx]

😂😂 So cute to watch Khanyisa testing her boundaries like any typical youngster does. ❤️😍❤️

[@nomorecensoringme]

Limpopo and Kumburu did a great job of keeping up with little Sunshine.

[@konavader]

All of you, everyone of you wonderful human beings involved in her rehabilitation, you all deserve the highest appreciation, the highest accolades, and most of all, you absolutely deserve to congratulations. I’ve watched since the day you posted her first story. To see her this morning, made my year so far. Godspeed to all of you and the wonderful Elephants. Aloha peeps all over the world.

Hi to all and a great and smart elephant herd. Good caretakers showing so much love for the herd. Thanks for sharing God Bless You all with a bless weekend😄🐘🐘prayers ,stay safe.

[@lauriebradley8295]

She is so cheeky. Safely in the hands of her alomothers. She is still very young.

[@angel12boucher17]

The beautiful herd!…..I love them so very much!

[@renee1503]

Just a Little Baby, full of Energy and Joy. ❤️❤️❤️. What a wonderful way to start the day. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@iamqotl]

In watching her recovery this last year, you have physically healed her as well as protected and built her wonderful little spirit. She is the happy baby she deserves to be. Well done!

[@suelittle253]

Noticed Kamburu scenting the air making sure the area is safe.

[@shopiefraccount9782]

It’s just beautiful the way elephants take care of their own. We could learn a lot from them

[@hilarybromley3064]

That little scallywags will running the whole show soon bless her she gives joy to hundreds ot people as do the whole herd and thanks to all thecarers

[@o0sunsi0o]

When baby's happy everyone is happy.

[@francinescott7405]

That little gal certainly was in high spirits this morn. Zipping around, beating up a few bushes. She makes me laugh. Limpopo is taking on more of her mom's looks. I never noticed 'til you pointed it out. And Khanyisa is putting her lessons into practice. I saw her using her wee tusks to try to strip some bark off that downed marula tree. Thanks for this & all you do.

[@kerryneylan7978]

These videos are so sweet and uplifting.

[@yashny]

Khanyisa has become more independent and explores by herself. I just got a glimpse of her little tusks! This baby is growing wonderfully thanks to the Herd team especially her caretakers 👏💕

[@yashny]

@Her Misadventures yes that's true =)

[@donnadavid4028]

She's a little brave heart... so glad she is growing to be grand! The tip of her trunk... so pink!

[@Tallblondesmile]

I live just watching them do what they do

[@rennierad]

It's such a joy watching that sweet baby run to be with her elephant family, thank you Herd you made my day. ❤👍🙄

[@Go-tee71]

I love that Limpopo & Kumbura are looking after Khanyisa 🥰❤🐘

[@gloriamariasuarezpinto6803]

Hermosa y rosagante 🐘 KHANYISA ,ella está creciendo saludable y muy rápido , ya quiere explorar por su cuenta lugares y está utilizando sus pequeños marfiles y acompañada de cerca por ADINE y su familia de elefantes 🐘 Khanyisa maneja muy bien su trompa para arrancar pequeñas cortezas de los árboles Gracias ADINE y Gracias señores cuidadores

[@Helen3691]

I love how patient everyone is with the little one. ❤️

[@sharonott7513]

She is just a little scamp - keeping her Nannies (and the hard) on their toes. 🥰🥰🥰

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

Una birbantella

[@helenabiesma5560]

to prevent dust getting in I suppose - love the elephant banter

[@xxmissyxx6604]

Khanyisa is in a 'catch me if you can' mood today 😂 Limpopo and Kumbura were probably thinking we'll catch her & then hand Khanyisa over to one of the other allomothers while we eat 😂

[@jodimorlock1045]

Khanyisa is just to so damn cute, as well as growing up !! She’s so fun to watch, & I love how her “mothers” follow her around to make sure she stays safe... 🐘💙🐘💖🐘💜🐘💚🐘❤️

[@Tallblondesmile]

Playing with a bush. Lololol. So cute

[@keyappaloosa7989]

I love watching her run and play! She is so precious!! And that face!! Just want to kiss it because she's so cute and precious!! 🥰❤❣🐘🐘

[@christinafisk9657]

This channel always brings pure joy to my heart. What you all do for these amazing animals is incredible. God bless you all💜🙏💜🌸

[@judithhombsch1535]

Noticed for awhile now that she has a very strong and determined personality. Not following as much but stepping out.

[@valeriec.4756]

Thanks a million to all of you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@debbieschultz9768]

The little princess has a mind of her own this morning. 😂😂. Good thing her moms are alert to this! ❤️❤️😂😂

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

Si si concordo pienamente,

[@petersterling5334]

They are Very loving and Caring animals! Great Video

[@melaD333]

She’s feeling strong and sassy!! Great to see. 😍

[@renestewart604]

Elephants are amazing. Thank you for introducing these gentle giants to us

[@candidaprout560]

Hi khanyisa ❤️ hi all of you 🍀 🍀 🍀 super tender the two female elephants protecting the small baby.

[@melodiefrances3898]

I guess all mammal toddlers get the zoomies 🤣❤‼️ And the allomothers following her to make sure she is safe ❤. The way they protect their young is so moving to watch.

[@lunalupus63]

That much 'get and go' certainly isn't my Monday morning - or any morning - mood 😂 Little girlie is so cute, running off and trumpeting her excitement 🤗 Always lovely to see the designated nannies keeping a close eye on her. And Timisa is growing fast, which I only appreciate when seeing her next to Khanyisa 🐘❤🐘

[@Caprica-od6oc]

There's a problem in the horizon, Khanyisa is starting to get more confident and mischievous. Soon is going to be all hands on deck trying to keep up with her 😝

[@lesha1492]

😂

[@keyappaloosa7989]

🤣🤣🤣

[@sharonj.2865]

Such sweet excitement...love seeing her, and all the elephants enjoying their days and the company of their carers and Adine. It would be hard to resist hugging them when they got close 😀 I just love everything about them!

[@palmaleestephens1906]

….and the Baby’s off! 😀 Does she take off like this often? I guess she was excited for a little adventure.💕🐘

[@herdelephantorphanage]

She has her days 🤣 but she doesn’t often run off further than everyone

[@yvonnemarshall6424]

[@marymcdonald5531]

She can do wrong in my eyes. She is so cute ❤️She is inquisitive 🌸🌼🌻🌺

[@irenabevans3411]

Just love the watchfulness of Kumburu & Limpopo over our little mischief Khanysia true mum's even if adopted, love to all at Herd, ( sorry for mis- spelling of name's)

[@maryt2887]

I am always amazed at how well they communicate without language.

[@missclaire4820]

They do have a language, when they make what people call rumbles or trumpets that is a language and each rumble or trumpet says something different we just cannot understand it completely. Scientists are just now discovering what each rumble means through studying them .Elephants can also communicate in low frequency ultrasound, pitches below the range of human hearing .They are communicating all the time, in ways we cannot hear and or understand.

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

She’s a little spitfire! Just like any young child,she’s off to explore! But not without your aunties and nannies! She’s got tiny tusks coming in 😊 What a wonderful loving family

[@bea-ftloa1142]

I stand by my previous comments on our meisiekind: Sweet, funny, sassy, independent/strong willed and has her own Khanyisa’s time! So glad she’s so loved & protected by this amazing herd & the great carers bc it scares me when she has this bouts of sassiness & ‘runs’ in the opposite directions, while the bushes are still high. 💖🐘🌿

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Limpopo to Adine: "don't worry, we got this!"

[@reneecassidy7279]

Oh, she is so cute when she is running around for the pure enjoyment of it! Love that little tail sticking straight out. The allomothers have their hand, or should I say trunks full caring for her!

[@elainepeterson2438]

Khanyisa loves life. She feels so good she is beside herself with Joy. I love her taking off running and trumpeting her joy. And her Allo Moms Limpopo and Kumbura keeping up with her and keeping her safe

[@susanrotella4726]

They are so beautiful

[@nomorecensoringme]

Khanyisa certainly was in a mood for romping around. That trumpet was so fun to hear.

[@deborjhablackwell6162]

Reminds me of telling my kids when they were wee, “You’d better stay when I can see you!” And chasing my rambunctious grands down the street. Lol. Good for the aunties! Thank goodness they can see her wherever she goes.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

You’re so right! Their height definitely helps with keeping an eye on this little one, because she quickly disappears from our view when the bush is lush like this. Kids will be kids 💛

[@laylam3042]

Deborjha they might tell her just that, in elephant speak, lol.

[@deborjhablackwell6162]

@@laylam3042 indeed!!!! Through one of those “subsonic” elephant messages. Lol

[@johannabellas758]

Adine, thank you for sharing such amazing footage of the elephants and other living things.

[@gr8fuldeb699]

😂 when khanyisa was running i got a little nervous but said Kumbura has to be close and sure enough she appeared. When Adine was calling Khanyisa it seemed like Limpopo was letting her know not to worry we got her. The love is so beautiful.

[@judycook4314]

The care from the rest of the herd is amazing.

[@JamieM470]

Khanyisa with the zoomies! Cuteness overload 😂

[@mitzimccoy1611]

Zoomies!

[@mlapko6646]

the chase is on! I love how Kumbura and Limpopo lean into Khanyisa to get her to settle a bit, ♥️

How beautiful and inocente baby is so cutte

[@katharineellis3809]

I love that little Pturrrrrrrrr that Khanyisa makes.

[@kathleenjordan9404]

On her own little jaunt today with such good energy and knowing she’s looked after no matter which direction she goes! So funny, so cute!🧡

[@Jennifer-di4nl]

I always wondered what would happen if she just took off running 😂

[@dianeoxendine7619]

Who can stop a baby elephant 🐘 Her mothers can

[@CristinaF210]

just when i thought theres was nothing cuter she could already do, and then i hear her trumpets of joy when playing and oh omg its BEYOND cute, her little trumpets she is an absolute ray of sunshine our little girl khanyis everything she does is absolute gold and the cutest adorable girl 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@laylam3042]

Khanyisa is easy to find, just look for a shaky shaky bush or tall grass. Was Pisa around or off on adventure with Zindoga and Mambo? Wherever a girl is it seems like one can always find our Fish! ❤ Timi is such a sweetheart.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Pisa was off with the boys! Yes. Bit of a tomboy at heart, she is, when not being a bossy boots. 💕 Timi was so funny sneaking under the tree, and probably got a great back scratch in at the same time

[@allisoncompeaux3981]

The ellies fit perfectly with their environment. It is amazing how they have evolved and survived. Absolutely perfect in every way.

[@mariaestervieira7141]

Khanyisa, cute cute! Corre como toda criança!! 🏃🏃

Thank you for sharing 💛 what a lovely way to begin my day 😊

[@relax2dream164]

Andine, Limpopo loves you so much she just must greet you. It’s true, now that you pointed it out that she really does resemble her mom. Her tusks are going to be glorious! Baby K is just so cute, as always, again today. I always wonder what gets into her when she dashes about attacking the bushes? 😆😂❤️🇨🇦

[@happy_me1329]

Such a beautiful bonding the herd shares..We humans have a lot to learn from these beautiful creatures..God bless them all with best..!!Much love to this beautiful family..😊💕💕💕

[@DianaBamaRN]

Remember when not so long ago she was Lundi’s shadow? Always sticking right by her new mom? And look at her now! I rarely see her hanging near Lundi. Always doing just what she pleases!

[@isawa6649]

Sweet. Thank you

[@kaylemoine1571]

How beautiful is that? That could be any human mother protecting her young while giving her some independence.

[@lindaredwood-kahn2729]

So much entertaining fun to witness our precocious pink princess amble about on her terms!! Such a toddler with a mind of her own exploring and experimenting with newly acquired skills. Utterly delightful!! 💖💙💋🐘💋🐘💋💙💖

[@bonnieblue1792]

LOL is this the elephant version of the terrible two’s? It is a testament to the love and protection lavished on Baby K by both her human and elephant families, that she has grown into such a joyfull, l, playful youngster, fully trusting that she will be kept safe.
