It’s always a shock to see Khanyisa next to a human versus the elephants in her herd. When she’s standing alongside humans, you truly see how big she has grown! She diminutive when beside her herd though. Here we watch Owen helping break pieces of bark off of the root for Khanyisa since her still young trunk is not as adept at the task. Owen uses a rock for the job but elephants like Bubi have much more strength and can use their tusks, feet and trunks to help with pulling bark from the root or stem of a tree. Enjoy some sweet Bubi and Khanyisa time as the allomother keeps a good watch over the young elephant in her care.
