It’s the chance of a lifetime. Most people will only see an elephant on tv or from a distance at the local zoo. I’ll go ahead and add that 99.99999999999 percent of people will ever get to touch an elephant.
When mom want hugs and sweet quiet time with the baby and he has other ideas 🥰 so playful and challenging. He is feisty but loves you so very much. Quality time learning and loving. It warms my heart to see him grow and be so comfortable with both families. Quality time with all the animals is lovely to see.
It brings such joy to my heart to see how far Phabeni has come ❤ Such a testament to all the loving support and care from the HERD family of humans ellies Lammie Spotty and Nandi too ❤We love and appreciate you all!
Good thought. He seemed so withdrawn and shy initially. I wondered if he'd shine as much has Khanisa (sp. ??) does. He is flying with his unique feisty, rambunctious personality.
@lkrzzie1955 the only thing said initially was that a woman found him in her yard, and there was no herd around. I always hope that somehow the original herd knows their baby is being taken care of ❤❤❤ Maybe someone else has more information ...
I don't think Phabeni realises how strong he is!! He is such a little Lovebug though! Watch you don't damage your arm again Adine. 🙁. Hi Lammie, Spotty and Nandi 💚💛💙🙏
🫶 👍Lovely, clean stables, thank you Herman and the whole team🧹🐾🐑 I know! Let’s play. It’s not always a calm, play session but it’s great. 🐑Snuggle bug, Phabeni🐘loves hugs. from his human mum, Adine🌿💞
Phabeni's got plenty of energy. You can see the 35K+ he's added has him looking healthy. Mentally he appears very happy. You all have done such a beautiful job of preparing him for his future with the herd. 😊
Thanks for sharing the lovely one-on-one time between Adine and Phabeni. She provides him with vital warmth and touch while expertly anticipating and maneuvering to keep herself safe from his overenthusiasm! It’s clear from his behavior with her and with the giants in the herd that he has the courage and heart of a leader. With any luck he will grow to be a magnificent adult bull, thanks to HERD. The sheep always make me smile. And Nandi is a gorgeous girl (I have a weakness for GSDs). My best wishes and thanks to all of you.
Such big, playful boy...he will soon be too big to tussle with...but until that time, it is so fun to see him enjoying his new life with Adine and his new family. I don't remember seeing Liverson before...nice to see and meet the Carers who look after this precious boy.
Phabeni trying out some of those Bokke rugby moves on Adine! So cute! I marvel at the difference between Khanyisa at this age (her gentleness) as opposed to a dominant baby bull like Beni! Good to see Liverson keeping a close eye on them. Stay safe Adine...this little fellow doesnt know his strength...but he sure loves you to pieces!!! Thanks herd for the warm and fuzzies!!❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂 Does that little trunk ever stop!!😂😂. Bet our seuntjie sleeps well. Wonder how many times per day Adine has to change her clothes?!? 😂 Thank you Liverson for being bodyguard. Thanks Herman for such a good job cleaning.👍👍👏👏 Thanks for the video,guys. Great way to end the day.
Awww how sweet to see Adine with Phabeni playing! He’s definitely a rambunctious one at times! Landi, Lammie, & Spotty all love time with Adine too. What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing this! Blessings always! ❤️😊✝️
I love the word you used. "rambunctious." I have not heard the word for do long, it has dropped out my vocabulary. Thanks for reminding me of this gorgeous word. Yes, yes, yes!! Phabeni is a rambunctious little calf. 😂😊❤
@@LibertySneeden Awwww your welcome! Yes he’s definitely a “go-getter”…..no doubt about it! I’m glad I brought back a word you’d forgotten. Blessings to you! ❤️😊✝️
😂❤ Adorable!! Wonderful to see baby Phabeni playing with Adine. Lovely patch of green grass for the nursery area too. Thank you everyone at HERD for all you do. 🐘 🐐 🐕🎉
Hermoso día entretenidos jugando Mamá humana ADINE y el pequeño elefantito Phabeni 🐘 porque él bebé sabe que mamá ADINE lo acompaña bebé Elefantito Phabeni 🐘 pesa mucho Gracias al señor cuidador que está presente observando cualquier eventualidad,que haga el bebé Elefantito Phabeni 🐘 Nandi 🐕🦺 el pastor Alemán y las ovejas Lamie 🐑 y Spotty 🐑 también pasan momentos gratificantes con mamá humana ADINE. Pasen un lindo día con la protección y Misericordia de DIOS 🙏
He looks so much healthier than when he arrived. His head is rounder, not so sunken in at this temples. So much happier and so much more playful. No longer depressed. You all have done such a wonderful job !!
These days are priceless, but at the rate he’s growing soon will be coming to an end. Savor them as he has gotten to enjoy the best days of his life. The cyst on his hip looks a lot better and he’s filling out really solid now. Adine, you are a treasure to these elephants. 💕🇺🇸🌴💗🌺
Herd has taught me well how wiggly and contact oriented ellies are with each other. Their affection for each other is so visible in those wonderful wiggles and wrestling matches.
I get envious when I see how fortunate Adine is to be so close to those lovable elephant babies. What a pleasure it is to see such loving care for God's needy creatures!
Watching the little tubby wrestle around with Adine is beautiful! All those hours of hard work and dedication she has put in to save these amazing animals…..she deserves the very best of moments with her animal babies! ❤😎✌🏼❤️
This is the best example of how sweet and childlike a baby elephant is! It demonstrates their silly and gentle nature. If a dog is man’s best friend…it’s because we all didn’t grow up with our own pet baby elephant! This is as cute as it gets. I’m so proud of him and how he has adapted to his new life in this elephant paradise! And it’s all thanks to these beautifully warm hearted individuals who take care of them there! We are all in awe of all of your kindness and patience. You are all proof that ANGELS WALK THE EARTH
Herman is performing disinfectant cleaning of Nursery and Phabini wants to come in and "help" by playing....of course. Not allowed. But. so cute peeking over Nursery door! He just stands up on his hind legs and tries to use trunk to unlatch the door. Quite smart and becoming more Agile. Frisky business, loves playing with Adine.
Adine, you elephant whisper, hes so different so happy and playful what a precious scenes watching him happy and playing thank you all for doing this, he is now a fat most cute piglet and its ALL thanks to you priceless people, you should all be nurtured by the entire world, you all are what really matters in this world
Phabeni: „I am the boss of the nursery herd Adine, not you“……what a feisty and rambunctious little fellow……thank you so much for all you do, not only for the little man, as Adine calls him (I don’t know how it is written in her language) but for the whole herd you all care so diligently for ❤️🐘🐘🐘❤️………
Amazing the awareness of the little ones when Adine is out playing with them. Sure she takes her bumps and bruises but they know to be careful. Nandi is a beautiful shepard. Phabeni has certainly come a long way since he arrived. Just a matter of time before he knows how to open the gates on his own.
Not many can say they had an elephant sit on them at work today 😂 Just found this super, special channel. Thank you to all for taking such good care of these majestic creatures❤❤❤
@clare4083 Welcome to HERD and the magnificent Jabulani herd! Always glad to have new friends and subscribers. You'll end up like the rest of us...looking every day for a new video of "happenings" or just a quiet walk in the bush. Please be sure to check out all the videos on the channel and their blogs. Super learning experience about the elephants as well as other animals of the area.🐘🐑🐕🕊💞🫶🇺🇸🐦🦋
@@Dnvr8083 Hey, hi there my friend! Hope you're well and enjoying Phabeni's antics of late. He's sure found a happy, loving home...was there ever a doubt?? Be well...Spring is in the air!🐘🐦🕊💐🫶🦋
That was such a WONDERFUL video! I really enjoyed it. The transformation of little Phabeni from a terrified baby elephant to the confident, happy little fellow he is today is so wonderful to see. It's amazing what love and care can do. So thankful to Adine and all the Carers who dedicate their time and expertise in caring for these magnificent animals. You are all the BEST!
If our darling Meisiekind Khanyisa were to walk in and see this, you bet she'd be back- kicking Seuntjie and win a sure spot for herself with the Polokwane FC! ⚽🐘🥰
Him peeking over the gate to his section of the orphanage was very cute. He seems attached to the male carers. That head butt wasn't the first time he's done that to carers or Adine. There's a bit of the rogue in Phabeni.
Ellie Mae Clampett do you remember her from the Beverly hillbillies what an appropriate name for Aiden since she takes care of elephants. Perhaps you should write children’s books and sell them if I were there I would get it started but since I’m not maybe you have someone there who could do it for you, I’m sure it would bring in a lot of revenue. Children would love to read books about those precious animals and their caretakers. God bless this endeavor.
I see PHABENI ( BENI FOR SHORT😅) and lammi and Spotty getting all the love cuddles and some from human momma from Aidine, Too me it's to die for!❤ Looks like heaven to me❤❤❤❤

Congratulations ~ soft BIG hugs ALL 'Round ~@!~@!~@!~ Everyone reading this comment >>> Have a Beautiful and LOVING day
QUESTION ADINE?? How do you UNtrain the babies NOT TO climb/cuddle overtly, as they get too big? Is it as simple as YOU not laying down anymore or do they actually listen to a command just like we would do with our German Shepard's (II've had 2 White Shepards, not Albino)?
What a precious little boy Phabeni is! So playful and sweet. He already adores Adine. And Nandi is a fine looking shepherd. Seems to be well tempered and obedient. A nice companion for Adine.
Phabei is just way to cute and funny it was just way to cute when he was peeking over the gate door with his two little legs and now he's playing with his God mother he love her so much and she has him so spoiled great job team🎉😂❤
I had a big dog once ended up weighing about 120 pounds and I had to play with him every day at one year I was going through chemo you have to play with them. And when they go through illnesses that you have to administer the treatment to it’s very grueling every day twice a day It’s part of their healthy I feel you ADINE. So cute. so kind. Thank you so much.
Awwwww when Phabeni sat on Aldine 🤭. He's so happy❣️ Can you imagine, someone asks Aldine "How did you get grass in your hair?" "Oh, I was cuddling w/a baby 🐘"‼️✌️
Caro Phabeni stai diventando pesante x andare in braccio a Adine 😊😊😊😅 🐘❤️ però è dolcissimo vedere come Phabeni non perde tempo a dimostrare l'affetto che ha x Adine e i x curatori ❤❤❤❤ poi è un giocherellone il piccolo Phabeni 🎉🎉🎉😂😊
