Baby Elephant Khanyisa Sleeps Lying Down in the Homestead 🐘🌙 

Never witnessed an elephant sleep while standing up. Not even a wobble. Very impressive.

So glad Khanyisa is doing so good in the homestead. 🐘🐘

I love these scenes from the ellie cam as the herd arrives home and settles in getting comfortable to enjoy their dinner and relax for the night. It’s so calming and peaceful watching/listening to the night sounds of this unique family of course the minute Braveheart decides to sleep devoted Kumbura is right there with her always the protector to her Miesekind they’re so sweet together. Thank you for another sneak peek into another Jabulani evening it’s quite special and it makes me so happy that Khanyisa is fully content and thriving at the homestead things have truly come full circle for her it’s beautiful to see.❤️🐘🤗

She’s growing up so fast - adorable ❤😂

Loved watching them eat,sleep and enjoying their late night snack. Baby K,hope you had sweet dreams. ❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘

Sleep tight gentle giants. Happy dreams to you all. So glad little Khanyisa is settling in the homestead ❤️❤️🌈🌈

How wonderful to return from the long day to fresh food, thanks to all the hard-working carers. Love watching them munching and I'm so happy they have a covered shelter for the night. Our girl is all tuckered out from the day....All tucked in for the night and safe 😀

Kumbura watching over Khanyisa, gets me every time. So, so loving and protective of her. She is a darling 😘🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's actually very cool seeing them in black and white at night ... Kumbura is SOOOOOO protective ❤️

Khanyisa has just taken possession of our hearts!❤. She will always be our baby girl!😘

Too bad there's only one "like" button. I wanted to click it 50 times already and I'm only halfway through the video! Kumbura standing guard over Khanyisa is indescribably precious!

Khanyisa is so secure in her herd. That must be the most rewarding emotion to see her sleep this way. Fwiw, I wish I could just plain hug Fishan. 😂🐘💙 sometimes.

I could watch this video a million times and still not get tired of it. It answers all queries as to how our dear Meisiekind is doing at the end of her day! She knows full well that Kumbura, Timisa and the rest are all a trunk's length away from her to protect her and give her the confidence that she is well looked after. I am so happy for her and for the HERD and for all of you. Sweet and beautiful Timi doesn't like to put a lot of food in her mouth at one time. She likes to munch and crunch on a single branch. She is adorable. Thank you for this great video and the neat camera there in the Homestead.

What a great sight seeing Khanyisa sleeping and feeling safe in her Herd for protection. Little Miss Sleeping Beauty.

I’m so glad Khanyisa is adapting well to her new routine. I love the secret footage. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷

Khanyisa was out like a light. No cat nap, that; it was deep slumber. Imagine the safety and security she feels to have done that - outside, no less. Her every physical, psychological and emotional need has and is being met, resulting in a confident, well-adjusted little ellie with tons of cheek and personality.

It appears to be a very relaxed atmosphere in the homestead .Nice way to end the day.

Now this was a very fascinating footage! Much appreciated.

So, so good to see Fishan and all the elephants!! 💜💙💕

They take such loving care of Khanyisa. 🐘🐘🐘💙💙💙

Sweet dreams, Angel Khanyisa! 😇

The scene of Kumbura standing vigil over Meisiekind is so beautiful.

Hi khanisa ❤️. Khanisa does well lying down to sleep. That was the way she slept in the nursery ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

Everything is coming along perfectly for Khanyisa. Everyone in THE HERD mgmt team should be proud. You rehabilitated a female African Elephant who will one day give birth to more Elephants.

I am so happy that Khaynisa 🐘 feels so loved and confident that now she is sleeping lying down. Fishan 🐘 is like an eating machine 🤣. I am so happy that his leg has mended well. I love how some of these elephants 🐘 feel so relaxed that they stand cross legged. I really enjoy watching these magnificent animals in black and white. Sleep 😴 well Jabulani HERD. I love you all. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

How amazing beautiful is this blessed this Herd and Adine who make this possibel and all Care keepers Thank you so much I am pride to be a donor.

Timisa is such a beautiful young ellie and snacks late night like a teenager. So peaceful. I think Fish has a soft spot for the little ones and let's them snag some of his snacks.

Thank you for all you do. 💚💚💚💚.

I love when Limpopo crosses her back legs! So adorable.

Loveley Khanyisa 🐘😇!

Timisa is getting so big that I have a hard time picking her out of the herd sometimes. I do find her, but it takes a little longer. Fishan is always a joy to watch because he is so majestic. Khanyisa still looks so small beside the adults. The elephants can certainly wipe the food the Carers leave for them in no time.

Amazing that they retain balance when doing a “stand up sleep”. 😊

Khanyisa is so smart and cute you can spot her mile away with that cute permanent smile she has I just love her

Wonderful!

This video of the elephants resting at night is so peaceful to watch. Khanyisa is so relaxed and at ease that she can rest lying down. Kumbura is so attentive to Khanyisa. How fascinating to see Limpopo sleeping standing up. Her body is so silent and motionless.

Awww, I bet Khanyisa can hear Adine's lullabies as she drifts off to sleep.

It's wonderful to have all these new video adventures that you're sharing. Thank you!

It makes me happy to watch this beautiful herd. I'm glad you guys keep them safe. I just adore them, and all you do!!!! You guys are. Wonderful💓🐘💓

We are very privileged to be able to spend the night together with the Ellies thanks to the homestead's cam I was wondering how long they are sleeping at night in general ? Because here apart from little miss Sunshine who is lying down and briefly Limpopo who sleeps standing, we do not see the other ones sleeping It seems that they spend their night feeding on fresh greenery that has been arranged by the Carers It is so heartwarming that Khanyisa has adjusted so well in the Homestead and dedicated Kumbura watches over her while she is sound asleep on the floor Little Timisa comes also to check but is more interested in stealing a little bit from Mentor Gentleman Fishan's supply with her friend Pisa 😂 Very peaceful and quiet video Impressive gentle giants only illuminated by the little dancing fireflies

Most beautiful social and happy Herd best friends by eachother so special they are very smart and learn Khanyisa everything a big great loving Herd.

Fishan you are so handsome. Enjoy those wonderful goodies. Happy New Year to all the herd, carers, Lammie, Nungu, and Adine. Since K has graduated into the herd, keep us updated on the sheep pals. They are also carers to the babies!!! 💕💕

It's amazing to see how Limpopo slept standing up. When she woke up the camera's light reflected back from her eyes

Khanyisa is adapting well to her new life outdoors. She looks so comfortable.

💞✨🌿🐘Thank you HERD. This is a really nice perspective, from the static camera view. Dusk falls, night approaches the elephants 🐘 💚🌱sharing their routine of relaxed dining and care free wind down. Goodnight all 🫶🌿🐘🌾

I was so happy to see Fishan. He’s still a very handsome guy. Khanyisa has adopted the homestead very easily. It amazes me, how each elephant knows which side they need to be on. I guess, years of development.

Loving the Ellie cams! It really nice to see Khanyisa has adapted so well to the homestead! I thought for sure she might have a few tantrums over leaving behind her stable of friends and comforts of Adine or one of the Carers being close by.

Just had a good cry.. Watching those wonderful elephants especially kumbura who acts as if she was the real mom to khanyisa brought tears to my eyes..their bond is amazing...

I really enjoyed this video it’s so cute when they cross their back legs thank you for sharing

Khanyisa is like a human toddler. She is going wide open and then bam it’s lights out. 😂

ADORABILE PICCINA..... è stanchissima , mangia qualcosa e poi si accascia sul pavimento per dormire ma a far da guardia a lei c'è la fidata Kumbura che non la molla un attimo ,non mangia neanche per osservare il suo sonno come fosse la sua vera mamma...! Adorabile Kumbura ! Una delle prime ellie a seguire passo dopo passo il suo sviluppo con tutta dedizione,volevo chiedere se possibile alla cara Adine un materassino per tenere calda Khanyisa mentre fa la nanna...! È sempre piccolina..!Adoro tutti i video che fai Adine ,sono semplicemente belli,istruttivi, interessanti,colpiscono il nostro cuore ❤️.

Watching the beautiful elephants at rest is so peaceful. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share this. Thank you

Thank you for sharing this bit of their lives at night. It is relaxing to watch and I really needed it today to help with my migraine. It's always interesting to get this fly-on-the-wall glimpse of their downtime when there aren't a lot of humans. They are just peacefully being a family, enjoying food, napping, and enjoying their safe homestead in the dark. And they eat every bit of their bana grass! It would be interesting to see them enjoying their water and sand mounds. Are the other bulls more active through the night? It's easy to imagine Mambo having the energy for mischievous moments 24/7 without care of day or night. Fishan and Tokwe are still my favorites but Sebakwe is becoming a favorite the more I see him. All the elephants are special and I feel lucky that HERD has the ability to share this important mission with people all over the world. It's magical to experience the life of an elephant that isn't just a fictional story. They are living beings so real with their individual characteristics and they allow us to learn how wonderfully these animals are a part of the earth. Their gentleness should be allowed to thrive.

khanyisa is just so cute sleeping and the big ELEPHANTS are keeping her safe that's so beautiful I just love how they take care of each other I'm glad our little angel is better thank you for helping all of them please send more 😄😆😉😘

This was fascinating watching to watch. Seeing their trunks become limp while they sleep and how they gradually drifted out to the gardens or sand mounds.

So very peaceful. Thank you for providing this safe place for the elephants to sleep.

I miss Khanysia being a baby😢. Like all babies she has grown into a beautiful young elephant. ❤. Love this Herd!

what a marvelous view of the elephants.....with the baby sleeping safely underwatch...🐘♥

❤️🐘💤💤

So beautiful to see baby Khaniysa sleeping for a long time. All elephants ♥️🐘 ♥️🐘 💖🐘♥️ 🐘look so beautiful eating and sleeping standing 💖😘🤗🐘.

A real baby that needs her sleep after a very long day foraging and swimming and frolicking around!

Great video. Thank you for sharing their lives.

A homestead peaceful night 💖🐘

Hi Timi, hi all of you elephants ❤. Good night, all of you 🐘🐘🐘🐘💕. Here the clock is 20.47 in the evening. I also go to the sleep😴

What you have given these elephants is nothing short of remarkable. I assume (wonder?) if there is some controversy about what some people might consider being too much domestication, but most, if not all, of these elephants probably would not have survived being in the wild, which I can barely stand to think about. Unless a herd had accepted them, which, from what I have gathered, doesn't necessarily happen (I'm thinking about Mambo and his attempt to join the wild elephants). When you know the individual elephants, and their personalities and their histories, and see how they have come together as a herd, and have accepted new members into the herd, it's so moving to think about the difference you all have made in their lives. I hope researchers look at, or will look at what you have accomplished. It seems like there is so much to learn here about the elephants and about their relationships with humans. ❤️❤️❤️

Elephants have perfected the power nap.

Kumbura is such a beautiful elephant and the best allomother of them all. She has personally accepted responsibility for Khanyisa and you can tell it. 24:7 it appears she has an idea of exactly where Khanyisa is and at any moment can be there to sheild the younger calf! I could have watched this video all day and night. No words needed. Thank you!

So glad the legs is better. 🐘🤗

Thank you for this evening view of life in the herd. Our little Pink Princess has taken to her junior life very well with her foster family. I anticipate that this herd will fully rehabilitate to a in the wild lifestyle. Gently gently is a wonderful pace as they become accomplished at living the wild life. Long term, do you have estimated timeliness as the herd matures? It is absolutely fascinating seeing the fostering of young elephants and their ongoing creature education, we can see how much more is taught within the herd itself. Sleep well and safe to continue your journeys. Cheers.

That was soooo relaxing. I was remembering how much we paid for zoo poo or moo poo and you have loads. I must just tell you that if I can't switch off my brain to sleep then I go and find one of your videos but this is going to be a favourite as Limpopo was so calm. It was great 👍

Aaah Princess Khanyisa is still a baby. Just loves her lie down. So happy that she has accepted and settled in the homestead. I must say that I was concerned for her in the beginning. It was a huge adjustment for baby Khanyisa but glad she she took to the homestead like a pro and still loves her milk for breakfast with her sweet potato! Khanyisa, tell me your secret diet plan? Ha, ha, ha, ha... It just amazes me how the Allomothers protect baby Khanyisa. The Herd are stunning!

🌜GOODNITE "SUNSHINE" 🌛....IT IS SO NICE TO SEE THAT YOUR ADAPTING WELL AND YOUR BEING CARED FOR BY YOUR "FAMILY".....PLEASANT DREAMS!!!....💕💕💕😎🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🇺🇸

So peaceful. I had many thoughts while watching the elephants in the dark. It’s very, very quiet. Sometimes we can’t fall to sleep, but we can always get some shut-eye. What is that light on the horizon, I wonder? Fishan’s feet are HUGE. Khanyisa trusts that no one will step on her. Darkness is good for us, so I’m glad the lights are turned off. Elephants may not lie down, but they do rest a foot from time to time. I 💕watching these elephants. Thank you.

Awwww. Watching the Ele's at night in the Homestead was amazing and a real treat. Love them all. Sooo very pleased to see Fishan doing well and little Khanyisa and Co too. Thk u sooo very much Adine for doing this recording 🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘 xx

ELEPHANT'S are AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL... LOVE THEM.....

Kumbura is selfless and adoring how she protects Princess K. I have the utmost respect for her. The entire herd is remarkable. Will Khanysia get to visit Lammie and Nungu ? They must miss her. 😍🇺🇸

Love these scenes 🥰🐘 thank you

It's an excellent news to know that baby Khanyisa lies down for sleeping as she usted to do at the orphanage. This means she feels secure outdoor with her lovely herd.

Watching the Herd is the best way to fill insomnia. If you have to lie awake have some fun hanging out with the elephants 💕

This is what families do; protect each other. ❤️👍🏻

The little girls love their sister❤️

💖 As beautiful Timisa grows, she remains the MOST feminine looking in the HERD.

What a wonderful majestic sight. I wonder do elephants dream. ? Of course glad to see Fishan and the baby. We appreciate all you do!

Thank you HERD! I am sure I shave BP numbers with videos like these. Just a treat to see the elephants do as they do.

Hello. It's s so great to witness this spectacular event as having recently visited this wonderful foundation. We were truly blessed!! The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, caring and professional. Looking forward to return, God willing.

None of the elder elephants complain at all when they want to make Khanyisa feel safe. They just move into position. These are amazing creatures.

Love being able to watch them at night! Wonder where Khanyisa went when she left the covered area, she is such a brave little one and Timi is getting bigger it seems like with every video. So Fish is a dear as long as nobody messes with his food, got to love Fish. ❤

Fishan is such a "gentle soul", taking such a horrific situation he'd been handed, recoveing gracefully with all the difficulties, and just getting on with the business of Life. 💖🐘 "A Good Egg"

Interesting and enjoyable video

Such peace ☮️. It's beautiful to see how much the baby of the family is looked after by almost every elephant.

I almost nodded off too! So relaxing.

Very interesting. I’ve wondered how the herd spends their night. Thanks for showing us! ❤

to see princess Khanyisa lying down without a care in the world sound asleep after a day of adventures its wonderful its calming the love that irradiates from these gentle giant people its so so sooo amazing its a grace to watch this i can do it for hours i love all your videos, thank you for showing us i think these videos are so precious everyone should watch this every person every child, this way theyll stop paying tickets for circus, if we all stop they eventually HAVE to stop too .... its starts somewhere, one can only HOPE. anyway, princess khanyisa knows shes safe and loved she loves her family very much human and elephant, Khaniysa is a ray of light

EXCELLENT HOW THESE GENTLE GIANTS MOVE IN AND OUT OF THEIR SLEEP LIKE THIS!!!😃😍💕🐘🐘🐘 AND ALL WHILE STILL EATING, LATE NIGHT SNACKS, KINDA LIKE MYSELF AT TIMES!!!😆😘🐘🐘🐘 SWEET DREAMS ELLIES!!!💤 I LOVE YAH!!!💜🔥🙏➕👑📖🔥

I have never seen an elephant sleeping at night standing up. That scene with Limpopo sleeping melted my heart. Plús a back leg crossing which always makes me intensly happy ❤❤❤

Wish it was easier for these beautiful ones to sleep lying down.

I bet Adine misses her bedtime cuddles with Khanyisa back in the orphanage. I know I would.

Great shots of the herd , I known little miss sunshine is growing in leaps and bounds but goodness so has Timisa has to , can’t believe how big she’s gotten . Thank you for this video .❤️

Thanks!

So glad she feels safe🤗❤

Thank you HERD family, love your home & your channel 👍❤🇨🇦
