Pool time for baby Chaba & BunMa 🐘🐘 💦- EleFlix 

Extortion, plain and simple.

❤❤❤❤

Patty, so well put ❤❤❤

Such joy thankyou watch every day.

Lek models Love and leadership to all that see and recognize it, and it feeds the soul. We so often convey that we're here to see the elephants, that we love them, but Lek conveys Love to all creatures, great and small, including people, and we feel it! What a difference Lek makes in the lives of so many, as a result.

I loooove watching them play what is wrong with the people who want to keep elephants for their personal gain it makes me angry what people do to animals in general should all be punishable by law which is basically abusing animals from dogs and cats to elephants tigers etc.

You're right about how vital and life-saving Elephant Nature Park (the place that this EleFlix channel shows) is for Chaba and so many others! So important! They're so precious! :)

If the owners dont give the right she has no choice, but she said she will send food with them when they go

Bunma and baby Chaba are permanent residents at ENP! Lek is talking about baby Lana and her sister who are living with the ex owner of Bunma and Chaba. She wants to rescue them as well .

I saw this post on Eleflix Facebook and Eleflix said that Bunma and baby Chaba are permanent residents of ENP!

Hello, Gabe, have you visited my playlists yet, my ENP playlist and my Critically Urgent & Important playlist? They're not just videos, but also Lek's interviews, and the educational playlist descriptions that enrich the reader. Time is going by, and the Heber horses need our voices to speak for them, as their capture and removal has been planned for the coming months. In my studies, I have learned (and this used to be common knowledge) that animals have internal regulatory systems (this is true of elephants and horses and others) that, under times of severe drought or famine, extreme chronic dangers, or where/when the number of their species in a small area are at their upper limit, they won't conceive. As such, their own regulatory system controls their numbers; there is no need for external controls. The Heber horses have provably maintained stable numbers for more than 20 years, records have been kept. Further, only 11% of forage species are in common with cattle (they eat different grasses from one another), so competition for food (between horses and cattle) is not an actual issue. I don't create videos, I create playlists, and in those playlist descriptions I share important information that I believe you will value. Both elephants and horses are keystone species, unlike all the ruminant species (those species having multiple-chambered stomachs), because as large, herbivoreal migrators, having single stomachs, elephants and wild horses process their food a single time, lightly, such that their deposits are rich with nutrients, enzymes and seeds that nourish the Earth and re-seed the soil, increasing vegetation for the ample supply of all the species of their regions. Everywhere they go in their migrations, they are nourishing and reseeding the Land, as no other large species can do. Elk, Deer, Bighorn Sheep, Sheep, Pronghorn, Moose, Bison, Cattle all have multi-chambered stomachs that heavily process their food, stripping it of nutrients, such that their waste can't nourish. Further, both elephants and wild horses are able to smell water more than 6' under ground so they know where to dig for it if there's a need, and both of those species have been witnessed doing just that, which provides water for all the species of their area. I invite you again to make use of my playlists. These animals have keystone purposes on the Earth, their presence is of crucial service to the Earth, so people need to learn more about them and to stand for their preservation, using their voices to speak for them. Almost all former wild horse management areas have already been zero'd out, such that if the captures don't stop, the wild horse will be extinct in the lower 48. The Heber horses are the LAST herd in the US that has not been "legally" interferred with, they haven't been darted with anti-fertility drugs, they haven't been previously rounded up, and there is no righteous cause for them to be now. Other herds in the US that remain on the land have and are being darted with anti-fertility drugs, when their own biological systems already regulate such things. They want to do the same thing to both Asian and African elephants in the Wild as well (as reported by Lek in a video at minute-mark given in my playlist description), even though both Asian and African elephants are sorely endangered as it is, which would halt reproduction, causing/hastening extinction of these valuable keystone species. The very horses that have already been darted with anti-fertility drugs will also go extinct because they're not reproducing, which will leave no keystone species on the land, which will in turn cause desertification (the making of deserts.) I welcome you to see and share my playlists. :) For those that don't know, just under the playlist title of every playlist, there is 3 short horizontal lines with a + sign on it (when hovering your cursor over it, the words appear "Save Playlist"), that when clicked, allows a person to save that playlist to their YT page for easy access, so they don't have to hunt for it. Saving desired playlists to one's library like that does make accessing them a lot easier, and when others stop by your channel page, they can access it too, which is a way to share that playlist with others. I hope this info helps. :) (By clicking on 'Created Playlists' on my playlist-page, one can see all of them.)

O

It's such a treat to see Burma being young enough to share her "childhood" w/ her daughter. Chaba has learned though, to "run for her life" when Mom gets caught up in the playing. IE the time on the mud pile or now, in the pool. Too funny, but so sweet! 💕

Lol!

Glad to see you here; I had replied to you at Lek's birthday-song video with an answer to your question I recently found. Hope your computer is doing better these days. :) These two are looking so much better, so glad!

In answer to your month-old question to me that I just found, wonderful nanny Sri Nuan was rescued along with baby Dok Ngern (who is now almost 21) in Surin, when she (Dok Ngern) was a baby just out of the Crush-pen, wounded and bleeding, and Sri Nuan adopted her then and there to be as her own daughter. Dok Ngern, for your memory, is the mother of 12 yr. old bull Chang Yim, 8 yr. old Dok Mai, and 5 yr. old bull Dok Rak. She and Sri Nuan on arrival to ENP became part of a family herd (maybe Mae Bua Tong's family herd, who is Faa Mai's mother, because they are herd with their family now for years.) They both healed and normalized to the point of thriving so much that baby Dok Ngern became physically and sexually mature at a young age, conceiving Chang Yim when she was only 6, delivering him at age 8, then Dok Mai 4 years later, and even more thrivingly, only 3 years later (which is astounding,) Dok Rak. 3 years between calves is supreme thriving, even more so than 4 years between, which is thriving. Sri Nuan nurtured her through all her babies and nannied all of them, and Mae Bua Tong's babies too, Faa Mai and her big sister, Tong Jaan, who is 4 years older, such that Tong Jaan was an infant to be nannied when Sri Nuan and Dok Ngern first arrived. Sri Nuan had worked in logging, trekking and street begging, I believe in that order, and one night when she was chained, she was hungry and tried to escape to find food, a mahout shot her with a slingshot, causing her to be blind in her left eye. She has nannied so many of the ENP babies, and you're so right, she is wonderful. I've been learning so much, and about elephants too, like that we share body language with them (our arms > their trunk), and they have biological-processes that control their conception (as do horses and others) such that if there's ongoing drought or famine, or too much danger (like abuse or torture), or if there are too many elephants in an area, they won't conceive. Stay in touch somehow if you can. I try to share ele-things I'm learning with Gabe, so you can check Gabe's threads if you like. :)

See my reply to Gabe here on this page. :)

Agree. I think of her often 💗

She is a good nanny. She didn't kick hard; we have to trust her that there was a good reason that she didn't want Chaba on that breast. Maybe Sri Nuan has an owie or a sore spot that Chaba was on, or maybe Chaba's teeth are growing bigger, so to comfort-suckle may cause Sri Nuan pain. I don't know the reason, but nannies will communicate with their feet, and for sure, Sri Nuan had good reason for not wanting Chaba on that side. Remember, what we see as a 'kick', for them is not a kick, but communication. For all the similarities between humans and elephants, there are differences, and that is one of them. :)

Doesn't want to share food?

She seems a little different last few times I've seen her. Funny you mention this... I wondered if she was sick or something...she seems a little off.

@@cacatr4495 watch the first few minutes of the video she's laying her trunk on the food

@@donna2165 I watched the video twice, attentively. She laid her trunk on a *small portion of food, not all. Bunma was eating and eating. Sri Nuan didn't try to claim all the food for herself; she didn't try to keep Bunma from eating. ~ Chaba doesn't actually nurse from her; it's comfort-suckling. She nurses only from her mother. In the beginning of the video, Sri Nuan did let Chaba suckle for a bit, then she told her 'No' with her foot, as elephants use all of their body to communicate. I know Sri Nuan is blind in her left eye, and that in the past, she had communicated the same way for Chaba to not linger in her left blind-spot where she couldn't see her. This is her right side, and while I don't know why she didn't want Chaba to continue to suckle, there's a reason that we just don't know (yet.) I am trusting that Lek will tend her and the situation if there's a need or pain that needs attention.
