Amazing how the elephants knew what to do, once Kanysia was on their side of the fence, what a thrilling full circle experience! Thank you and to al carers for the wonderful job you do
Oooooh! What a moment !she does look so accepted. My, have you guys prepared this blessed moment so well, from the beginning. What a mixture of emotions you, beloved Adine, and carers must be feeling 💗🙏🐘💗
Khanyisa really was ready for this momentous time, and so were the herd - it was seamless for them - they are a complete family now - its beautiful. 💜💜
That was scary and beautiful at the same time, our little pink princess has a real family like she should.Adine and your staff should all be very proud of what you have done for her. You saved her life and gave her a second chance to belong😀
I’m sure many of you can agree that this moment brought back memories of the first day of Kindergarten! As your child is carried away by their new group, happy and thrilled to be part of something new and exciting, you are stuck in the doorway, watching it all unfold, while blubbering and feeling silly. 😂. It sounds like Adine was having one of those moments. Bless Tiger for giving her what sounded like much needed hugs and reassurance that Princess Khanyisa is indeed in loving hands. Thanks to everyone at HERD for this amazing day! From a tiny little baby, nearly killed by the snare, to this happy, HEALTHY and fully healed pink princess, finally joined with her family. Well done HERD!
For any of you who still may be wondering - YES THEY KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS DAY IS for our little Princess, just as they did the moment they each met her. Elephants instincts and attention to others and what they are feeling (empathy in human terms) I would argue is far more advanced and sensitive then ours. Trust me, THEY KNOW everything and more about little Khanysia, how special she is, how important her move is, and this is why they act the way they do that continues to keep us as a species marveled. Ele's will literally sniff out a paper cut on our finger under layers of clothes that no one else could possibly see not because they are shark-like and smell blood, but because they can sense an injury and change in a humans behaviors (no matter how small) and instinct tells them to protect and help if they can. Absolutely remarkable they are. Tigere per usual is so amazing to listen to... Elephants hands down are some of the best parents and family on the entire planet. Their ability to protect is unparalleled.
@@susanmorris5520 Thank you. I had to add after watching it again. Did anyone else get very emotional the minute Tokwe literally took her by the truck and guided her back into their home along with the rest of the family? I have been watching (and fostering) a few of them including our Princess since day 1 and I am over here blubbering like a baby... I had flashbacks of her little pink body when she first got there with that green cream on her where her wounds were healing.......what a beautiful moment again captured for us to see and witness just like we are there like we have been since day one. Cutting onions for sure. I love all of you carers, god bless ALL OF YOU, look at what you have done and helped to do and create......... I have no words.
@@hermisadventures8142 WOW!! What a beautiful thing you said on your message to me but, I’m just a watcher from the USA and I too had watched when Khanyisa and Fenya first came to the Orphanage and what bad shape they were in and I also know too the blue/green stuff that had to be on Khanyisa’s wounds and the one around her neck that the snare was around and I cried all the time while Adine and her Carers were rehabilitating her and Fenya but unfortunately Fenya lost her battle and must have had no more fight in her too and passed. But however, with the spunk and willpower that Khanyisa had and still has and the love from Adine and her Carers too is why she is still with us today and so very strong too. I haven’t watched the video of Khanyisa going to her new night spot but I never had any doubt that the elephants were gonna be there for her and watch over her too.❤️🐘 I have learned too that they are so very intelligent and know how to take care of their own and they also watch out for the humans too that have taken care of them from the beginning. Take care and hugs to you friend. God bless always! Sue M.❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🙏🏻🥰😘⭐️🌸🌼❌⭕️
I’m new to the channel as of yesterday and the first video I saw was of them getting Phabeni from the yard of the lady that wouldn’t let the game wardens(?), or whoever they were, shoot him! And after watching that video, I went to the comments and read a thread from people all over the world saying how excited they were for this little guy getting rescued by this amazing group of people. They spoke so highly of the carers and Aldine that if I hadn’t already liked, subscribed, shared, and commented because of the video, I would have just to be in with this awesome group of people that have been following this channel because of how amazingly kind and wonderful they sounded in their comments….just like you two! So I am now so honored to be a part of this HERD! P.S. Now all I’ve been doing the last 24 hours is binge watching every video and short that this channel has put out. I’m now going to find Khanyisa and Fenya’s story so I can know how far she’s come to this point. Which by the sounds of it is nothing short of miraculous! Thank you for making me even doubly sure I want to be part of this community. Blessings to you both and I’m honored from Western Massachusetts! 🙏🥰
What an absolute wonderful happening, except for the bucket, totally understand that that caused alarm. That they saw Khanyisa get frightened herself but as in the bush they came to surround her and make sure there is no danger to the lil one. Interesting that her bottles and feed did not seem to worry them because of that being out of routine. But she is now fully integrated, hope she likes her new mattress 😂😊❤. Huge congrats Adine and all the team of carers for what you have done in saving this lil pink ellie and the rest of the HERD 👌👏❤️
It was so heartwarming to see the Ellies surrounding little miss Sunshine when she was frighten and handle the situation at best Each one has his role from wonderful Matriarch Tokwe Gentleman Fishan Limpopo and Pisa Tokwe's daughters Kumbura most dedicated allomother and little sister Timisa Thanks also to the very good job done by Adine, for which it must be so heartbroken to leave her Pink Baby even if she knows her Ellies Family will do a good job, and the so dedicated carers Team lead by Tigere We all 💖 you
I thought it was touching that Adine set up the bottles for her Meisiekind for this "ceremonial" first night with her favorite sweet potatoes. It gave Adine one last personal moment with her girl before Khanyisa joined her ellie family. After that small commotion, it was Tigere who reassured Adine that the herd will not hurt little K but will now take over to raise her. As the video ends, we all see with Adine and the carers that our little Braveheart has fit right in and all is well.
Astounding how Tokwe took care of Khanyisa right away, caressing/reassuring the baby w/her trunk, joined by Kumbura, Limpopo, Timisa & Fishan. - I think it was not only the small bucket which cause the commotion but also the ellies ‘sensing’ the humans concern, anxiety, regarding K’s move. Tigere had it right: ‘let’s move out, the ellies will handle the situation’. I never thought they would harm our little princess. They had protected her all the time & will continue to do so… Wonder what was on our princess mind & of course, like everyone here, waiting for the latest news. HERD, your amazing team hard work, from Adine to carers made all this possible! Thanks from the bottom of my heart! 💖🐘
Unbelievable!! I was so moved when Adine and everyone backed out to let the herd figure this out on their own without interference...they immediately took Khanyisa back to the stables with them.. WOW!!!! I'm so impressed with the instinct that these care takers have!!! Bless you all for this triumphant stage.
Yup, I’m now crying, to see the elephants turn around and lead her back to the stables really got me. Such a beautiful and amazing sight to see. I have watched almost from the beginning and quickly fell in love with her and everyone at HERD and Jabulani. It has been such a pleasure learning and watching the videos. I can’t thank u all enough for sharing these videos. I’m excited to see her next chapter. 💜☮️🥰
So amazing when they lead Khanyisa to the canopy. Beautiful image. Tokwe now has five girls. ❤️💕🥰 I wonder how Khanyisa and Lundi’s relationship will develop from now on.
That was very reassuring! To see the herd protect their little 😇 Khanyish! Love 💙 and 🫂 hugs to Adine, Tich, Last and Tigere for caring for these gentle 🐘 giants. Take care 🌷💞🌺🍀💚🌻💛
She is theirs now. Wise of Tigere to just let the elephants take control. Nice greeting from from K's special pal, Timisa. Adine--you are a brave and dedicated woman! That must have been hard. Oh my, very emotional time, but all is well.🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🙏😇🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh so great to see this, they took her under their trunks, no looking back voor Khanyisa but looking forward. Welcome home little princess. It made me cry but it were tears of joy.
I know that Khanyisa has grown to another step in her life and that she's near all that's familiar to her but she's growing up so fast! I remember when I saw her the 1st time a care giver was walking her to the bush with an umbrella over her little body. I immediately called my sister in California to tell her she just had to watch the baby. Thanks to all and the hard work involved during her 1st year of healing done by you and all the care givers for the help of bringing her back from the brink.
That was FREAKING AMAZING! The females quickly understood the assignment. They protected and guided Khaniysa into their homestead. Also amazing was how easily it was for Khaniysa to follow this change, without hesitation. Khaniysa is a brave little elephant. Khaniysa seemed trusting, brave and daring from the very start. I can't wait to see more. These videos bring me much joy. Thank you for sharing.❤️❤️❤️
Wow is amazing to see how protective of her just one night staying with the group,such love towards her gives me tears,thank you to the whole team of workers,with your blood and sweat effort, God bless
Ok, after the commotion, respiration getting back to normal lol😊. I know this is how it’s supposed to be, it my stomach feel like there are jumping beans in my stomach! I’m wondering how sunshine will feel, her first night not in the nursery. Where and who will she sleep with? Will she have straw on the ground like in the nursery? Oh my, so many questions running through my head……. I’m sure it’s somewhat anxiety provoking for Adine and her awesome carers..how could it not??? Hugs 🤗 to human herd!! Altho, I just smiled seeing her playing with Timisa. Will there be further videos showing how she is during her first night? {{{Gentle hugs, my little one 💕🐘🥰😘}}} Victoria from Maine, USA
I believe she will sleep with Tokwe, Kumbura, Pisa, Timisa and Fishan in their group. How cool was it that they were the ones who came to protect Khanyisa after the "bucket" fright. They took her to the canopy and now she is theirs. Maybe they will sleep on the big "mattress" sand hill?
Wow! That was amazing. I have always loved elephants (I say they are my spirit animal) but to watch them react like that and then just calmly move her into their enclosure was mind blowing to me. No matter if they are blood or not their sense of family is unsurpassed. The world could learn so much from these wonderful beings ❤️
Along time coming - - such a pleasure watching how naturally Sunshine was guided by her family into their home area....although I do wonder what they get up 2 all night : )
Amazing how they knew what to do with k,they figured it out pretty quickly what the humans wanted, so smart of them and the reading of elephants by the careers. So in tune to those elephants.
Such a brave girl. Adine, you've been an allmother to her night and day , hard to let go, a aalute for bravery to you, too, and to her carers, who's relationship will change somewhat as Khanyisa leans into herd life with the big.uns'...
It brought tears to my eyes when Adine said, "At least I know they won't hurt her." Wow, just wow! Great job Adine... and all of the carers who helped to raise Khanysia these 2 years. Well done!
It seems Khanyisa has come full circle now and back with a family that loves her, when they surrounded her it was a sealed deal. Tigere is so calm about it all and Tokwe will have her hands full for sure but Khanyisa is right where she belongs after her long journey. Thanks to all at HERD along with the ones that found this baby and did not give up on her. ❤
I’m sitting here watching this & having the same feelings I had on my son’s first day of school!, bittersweet & with tears in my eyes. Congratulations sweet girl! What a milestone!🎉
I’m very happy to see Khanyisa graduating from the orphanage. The herd is now complete with Khanyisa in it. This was all pre-ordained. The elephants were always ready for her to join completely. To see Fishan welcoming her, protecting her, was heart-warming. For Khanyisa, this was her destiny all along. She didn’t skip a beat. Thank you. Thank you.
Edited - Stand proud Adine💖. I know this is hard but they've got her🐘💞. You've earned a rest, who knows when the next calf will show up🙏. I just 👀 1 of my fav 🎥's from Aug 2020 where Herman is 🚶 out w/Khanyisa & she only comes up to the bottom of his backpack❗✌🐘💞 I'm so very glad you ALL did well last 🌙!! I admit i didn't sleep so well, thinking bout her....not worried but just thankful. TY to all. Congrats Princess K, you've come so far & deserved it💞💖🙏🐘
I'm so glad she did well. I was worried like she was part of my own family! You have so many mommies and daddies-in-spirit watching from around the world who love these ellies ❤❤❤❤
It was very touching to see the elephants escort Khanyisa to their home! I think they have been watching and waiting for her to join them . We would see them watching her at her nursery ; every morning they kept watch! I'm sure your emotions were going. also Adine but I think Tigre said it best .She's in now. ! She is in the best of care after your and the carer's hands . Glorious ,joyful night to see Thankyou ! touching ! 🎉😊❤
Well , little K did that without really blinking . She was ready for the move . You all did such a great job raising her & preparing her for this moment . Poor Adine I really felt for you 🥲, it’s hard to let her go but Tigere was right , he is very knowledgeable and the herd took over . ❤️❤️
Trop émouvant 😪 J'ai beaucoup pleuré.. hypersensible... Schock for everybody but also joy for the future of Khanyisa into The Herd... good luck. God bless you all
Lovely video! I must admit I was nervous for all of us. But, I knew in my heart that our little girl would be safe and secure surrounded by her amazing family. 💖
I thought as I'm crying how wonderful for this baby albino to b fully accepted and how smoothly its gone. Adine your carers and whole staff have done a wonderful job. As they walked her back it was as though she has always been there and her herd stepped up. If ther e were more people like you and your family of carers this world would be a thousand times better. Bless you I know its hard on you she Is your heart.bless all of you.
Who knew that a bucket mistakenly being brought too close to the herd would end up like this! Now that’s my definition of a blessing in disguise!!! Amazing job and quick thinking by Tigere recognizing that the herd needs room to figure it out. Aldine definitely was holding her breath! Someone said in the comments, it’s like when you bring your child to school for their very first time and they just go off to be with their new counterparts, leaving you standing in the doorway, proud yet so worried and sad, trying to hold it together but just want to run after them to make sure they are OK! Perfect analogy! P.S. I know I’m a year late on this but I just found this channel yesterday and all I’ve been doing every chance I get is binge watch this channel! The very first video I saw was of them going to get Phabeni from the lady who said NO to the people who were going to shoot him! She needs to have a special visit to this amazing place to show what she did for that very lucky baby ellie that wandered onto her property! Also to the people in these comments, the ones who’ve been here since day one, I have to tell you, if the video didn’t make me hit the like, subscribe, share, and comment buttons, your beautiful comments would have! You are all so kind and wonderful that I’m honored to be part of your HERD! This is as much of a family as the awesomely amazing and beautiful elephants this channel is about! I look forward to being here from this point forward! Blessing to you all from Western Massachusetts! 🥰🙏
Well Khanyisa is in good hands with the Elephants ring of protection surrounding her like in the wild , she looks content, couldn’t have gone any better 💗 I see Lundi separated is that to stop any over power protection conflict of Khanyisa’s ? allomothers. Thanks again to all involved 💗💕💗
I seem to remember from a previous video (or maybe it was a blog) that they separate the bulls at night to stop them from sparring and jostling with each other. Lundi shares with her son Mambo, so the separation is really for him. I think that's also the reason Khanyisa isn't rooming with Lundi. Mambo can be a bit boisterous, so she's in with Tokwe, the young girls and gentle uncle Fishan.
Sad and cheerful at the same time. Guess it's the way life is. Life goes on. She can't be in an orphanage her whole life. The ellies managed it so well led by mama Towke. I loved her. And I love the role Fishan has. He is a male but with a female side inside of him. Equal to us humans in that sense. Taking care of the youngsters due to his recovering period. Guess he won't change the personality he has.
Adine much feel some nervous excitement for her baby girl, and the homestead guys are trying to help comfort her nerves! It’s remarkable to see the elephants know or understand the goals for each orphaned calf! Adine deserves this moment!
So incredibly emotional, I wanted to shout "don't go Khanyisa, come back to the orphanage!" But of course this needs to happen, she needs her family. It must have been even more emotional for Adine and the carers. God bless you dearest Khanyisa.
It was fascinating to see how Kenisha handled the bottles. I didn’t know they could do that. It was wonderful to see the elephants protected and nurtured in a loving environment.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ What a little sweetheart. She does such a great job getting her bottles. What a beauty. Thank you all for your care of these beautiful animals.
These incredible creatures are so strong but yet so vulnerable I’m in awe of your home truest dedication and a passion I greatly admire to you and your team.❤️🇨🇦
