2:23 - 2:40 - both of those bigger elephants have noticeable smiles, and yes they can smile, they're smiling here. You can also tell these phants are happy because of their low rumbling, squeaks, and those short joyful trumpets. You can also tell by the phants flapping their ears and wagging their tails. And also by the way they are petting each other with their trunks. The combination of all of these signs at the same time mean that these phants are utterly blissfully joyfully happy. They have a good reason, they are in a large green spacious sanctuary, they living amongst carers showing them lots of kindness and compassion. And they are eating food which they find tasty.. And the mother phant is also bonding with her baby as well as the other things. I think it's her that we were hearing the most rumbling from
The elephant family dynamics are complicated. The species continues to amaze me. I wonder what they were saying?? They sure had allot to rumble about! A welcome of a new family member! 💜🐘💜🐘💜🐘💜🐘💜🐘
I always thought it to be gospel that baby ellies could not get milk from other "moms, nanny, older sisters" if they weren't with a baby, and they didn't "aloe suckle" SO I am wayy confused, cuz that Nanny def has milk in her bags.
We all need to share this channel with family and friends. They need millions of subscribers, so that they can always be there for these wonderful creatures.
It's 5:22 am here in NY, USA and someone is cutting onions! Elephants = love. How tender they can be and understand when someone needs help. We can learn so much from these incredible souls! Thanks Lek for all you continue to do. Love and respect always! 💘 🐘
1. This is so great! Pyi Mai couldn’t resist the love and gentleness that Sri Nuan exudes. I think Sri Nuan’s confidence will help Kham Moon adjust even better to her new home and also not be so nervous about Pyi Mai. Can’t wait to see how Princess Wan Mei reacts. 2. I enjoy watching Lek’s expertise at work - what and how she does things in different situations. Not only is ENP a valuable resource, but Lek is a well of vast knowledge and instinct that others can learn from.
That new nanny probably had her babies taken from her and sold to riding camps or other forced labor elephant's don't forget and she still remembers them and being a nanny will ease some of her pain and she will be a loving nanny.
Amazing at 4:27 Lek put her left hand on Srinaun shoulder to tell her to stop because mum looked anxious for a bit and Srinaun stopped and didn't move.
Srinaun was Faa mai's and wan mai's nanny, along with several others. She's about 60 and has done a lot of nannying. She seems to have been nanny to a few very active and mischievous babies, even though her personality is very calm and gentle.
From what I understand the nanny shares the job of guarding and comforting. Suckling the nanny is like a pacifier. The mother can drop her guard to eat or sleep when she has help.
Faa Mai welcomes all new Elle's but she can't be a nanny she's the matriarch of her own family and has a daughter Thong Ae , she's a leader of her family which is the most important family at E N P. if you see Lek under an Elle that's Faa Mai. Punch up on utube ( Faa Mai wants Lek to sing a lullaby to Thong Ae and see that Faa Mai is the most important Elle at E N P. even Lek drops everything if Faa Mai wants something.
@@alking4153 Thank you for the lineage information. I've seen the lullaby video and also one where Faa Mai really wanted Lek close during a rain storm. Very touching videos.
@@alking4153 I abso love Lek, The world is blessed with so very few people that dedicate their whole being to a cause. I just am so glad the Elephants have Lek and SWT, they both have single handily slowed the Elephant poaching down to a pace that we can monitor and try and cease. We'd never be this far along with these 2 communities.
Oh, I'm so pleased that Khamoon and Pyi Mai now have the support a nanny. Thank you Srinaun. The rumbling and ear waving was lovely to hear and see. 🙏🐘🥰
People can learn alot from these guys they are so much more loving than people and dont judge people really need to leave these grateful animals alone in the wild these ones and are very lucky
awwwwwwww and look the baby loves the nanny so much and for me its all i need to know if the baby loves her then everybody loves too, and mama likes her as well ♥♥♥♥♥ Srinaun is such a grand beautiful lady♥♥♥
I know, they are so fascinating. Just makes you wonder how intricate their communication is? Their actions and reactions make me believe they are every bit aware of so much more than ever has been recorded before. RU-vid was the greatest gift to all Animals being poached. We are so more aware of how dark these possible distinctions (and possible) go. Although I am sure its also used for nefarious things that cost some animals their lives, just the notoriety alone helps with so many causes these days.
This i miraculous! I feel so honored to witness this moment! What is it like to hear them communicating like they were here please? You've done such a wonderful job showing us! It would be wonderful to have you and Lek speak on their different vocalizations in certain videos. Maybe even every interesting interaction give us some input on maybe what they might be discussing? (However, they all are amazing so not sure how you would choose, lol). 🐘💜🐘💜🐘
Lots of talking between the ladies, I am so happy for both of them, for the nanny that she can satisfy her maternal instincts and for the mummy that she can have some 'me time'
Well, we all await with bated breath the next thrilling episode of this continuing saga! Will Kha Moon fully settle and accept Sri Nuan in this new role? Will Sri Nuan continue to be nanny to Wan Mai ... are Wan Mai and her Mum, Mai Mai pining for their beloved auntie? Will Faa Mai be able to accept that she isn't going to be nanny to Pyi Mai or will she throw a hissy fit? I know I'm speaking in a light-hearted way but .... just LOADS of questions ... can't wait to see what happens next.
Wonderful news! Now mamma can get some rest and not have to be on guard so much. Since Srinaun is also Wan Mai's nanny, does this mean they will all be together and form their own heard?
Maybe you should give Srinuan a warning for what she's getting into. Pie Mai Is Such a cute ham, Leave it to her to find the little bit of water to play in. 💖
Great Video!! BUT these women needs to be clear that the Nanny is not producing milk, but is allowing the the baby to suckle her teet as a pacifier. No milk !! Just a Pacifier/dummy! Very sweet because a lot of females dont allow this behavior from babies who are not their own.
Baby elephant is drinking his mother's milk,god bless all the elephants,I hope they enjoyed,they're day,in that beautiful thailanise place.,❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Srinuan as a nanny for Pyi Mai so glad the family is starting to form, this will be a tight unit🥰🥰🥰another little girl in a family unit, mumma can rest now🥰😙🥰

When an elephant hits the ground with their trunk, it signals that they feel danger, whether real or imagined, that they are worried, and ENP's instructions to visitors at those times, is that the elephant should not be approached, as their behavior could be unpredictable since they feel unsafe.
I guess because thats elephants normal do. baby/babies have their nannies to protect them just incase the babies slip in mud, help to cross the river etc (in a wild, also to guide the baby so they wont get lost, to protect babies from predator such as lions, bull attacks, hyena etc)
How in the world is the Srinuan producing milk? Everything we've been told up to this point, not only do they not produce milk, but they rarely "allo suckle" if at all. I know I have watched documentaries where the picture the producer paints if a little elephant is lost that if another family of elephants comes across a baby they ignore it and push it away for they didn't allo suckle and no one wants to take care of it. Now after the last 5-10 yrs of watching all these wonderful people and their different elephant projects, I find that so hard to believe. These females actually plot things, JUST TO GET TO BE A NANNY!!! So we have been taught wrong in the past.
@@MRKRG9 what you were told is truer for African elephants. Although sometimes a mother will allow it, but it is not common. Asian elephants usually do allow a baby to suckle more often then a African elephant.
My understanding is that Kham Moon did produce sufficient milk, and that nannies (who haven't recently given birth) do not produce milk at all, but that babes suckle from a nanny for comfort and bonding. Someone had said in a comment to re-watch this video for milk on Pyi Mai's mouth after suckling from Sri Nuan, so I rewatched carefully, and I saw white inside the end of Pyi Mai's TRUNK, but not on her mouth, and NOT In her mouth, but only inside the end of her trunk, and that appearance remained minutes later in the video when she was not nursing. So maybe it was just the appearance of the inside of the end of her trunk, not actual milk. If Lek says that Sri Nuan uncommonly produces milk at her age without having had a babe of her own recently, then that leaves a lot to ponder.
It is not wholly believed that Sri Nuan was lactating. We know that Asian elephant calves can suckle a nanny for comfort and bonding, not for milk, as nannies don't produce milk if they haven't had their own calf in recent time. Sri Nuan has been said to be 60 years old; she has no baby at this time. Some say that Lek said that Sri Nuan *did produce milk, *uncommonly, and if that's the case, then that's something to ponder. (I'm sure that long ago Sri Nuan had calves that were taken from her at elephant-camps, but those would have been a long time back.)
Srinuan is still Wan Mai's nanny also. Pyi Mai and her mom Kham Moon arrived at the park later and were in need of a nanny. Despite Faa Mai's efforts to nominate herself, Pyi Mai chose Srinuan. I'm not sure what happens now that both babies have Srinuan as nanny.
@Theopisti Panagiotakou I imagine the older elephant has some pretty good skills and can know how to put the mom at ease. She was so great when Wan Mai and her mom arrived at ENP - there's a video showing her letting the mom eat and do whatever she liked while she only focused on the baby. Faa Mai still has a big family and young Thong Ae, who adores her. But with Sri Nuan as the Pyi Mai's nanny, the hope is they create a new family, which will allow the 2 babies to play together and grow up together as a family.
Faa Mai is the matriarch of her family and Faa Mai and Lek have a mother daughter relationship that's why Faa Mai has the run of the place and did you notice the mahout's can't give orders to her only Lek talks to her. And Faa Mai is raising a daughter Thong Ae.
@Theopisti Panagiotakou Thong Ae was adopted by Faa Mai as a baby and is still by her side and Faa Mai's family accept her as family and Thong Ae like all babies never leaves her mother's family.
@@alking4153 Faa Mai is 12 years old, just a girl, her mother, Mae Bua Thong, is her matriarch. Mae Bua Thong and others in the family herd said 'No' to Ploy Thong joining their herd, despite Faa Mai's best efforts to have Ploy Thong join them. Thong Ae was adopted by 2 other older female elephants (older than Faa Mai). Faa Mai has a very loving and adoptive spirit/attitude, wants to include everyone, but sometimes, others don't agree.
Finally!!! I think Srinaun will be an awesome nanny. I don’t understand how a female Ellie that did not give birth can produce milk. Can you please explain??? 🥰😘🐘🐘🐘
Maybe she is stealing the baby,,, I have seen that kind of behavior in another elephant video. She is also much older and larger, maybe the Mom elephant was bred way too to ng. I feel the Mom is wanting her baby back.
We do not know whether KHAM MOON has experienced a NANNY. KHAM MOON has been tremendously protective of her PYI MAI since arrival. SRI NAUN is such a Magnificent DAME! Note also the constant trunk explorations by KHAM MOON, of this, not even The Great Lek knows what KHAM MOON is learning. The situation, I suggest, is fluid. Just opinion.
That's what I'm feeling at this end of a RU-vid video ... Kha Moon has always seemed quite "uptight" ... this new development seems to have happened quite suddenly and out of the blue ... Sri Nuan comes across as a wonderfully serene matriarchal figure but does this mean she's now caretaker for both Princess Wan Mai AND Humdinger-in-Chief Pyi Mai? Reminds me of, "This, Jim, is your mission ...... should you choose to accept it" 🤪🤪
@@Wendyj55 Great to share. I believe...and I kiss Lek's hem...but KHAM MOON needs time. She may never have experienced Nanny if she was kidnapped. To us PYI MAI, but to KHAM MOON, maybe everything precious. And WAN MAI loves SRI NUAN. Ok, PYI MAI accepts. I dunno. Too forced...THANK YOU. ELEPHANT has become my all!
@Theopisti Panagiotakou She wouldn't be in ENP w/o being gang-pressed in a vicious Thailand industry, such as tourism. Hence, she was 'kidnapped' from her Mother/ HERD,. Her fears of Nanny seem utterly possible if she's never experienced a Nanny. Her bkgnd. is understood by Lek...but the individual experiences are surely unknown. Thailand has a vicious inferiority complex to ELEPHANT.
I noticed they seem to be groaning or grumbling quite often. Is that a sign of something, is it like a cat purring when they feel comfortable. Tigers seem to do it to
Rumbling is a form of communication, just as every other sound they make, just as all their movements are too. Elephant language is not that of cats, elephants have their own language, that researchers over many decades of study have begun to translate into English.
Mamma wants the background check results before she’s gonna trust that new woman with her babe. Baby says mmmm more food for me, get with the program mom.
so the one nursing at the beginning of this video is not the mother but she has milk? (edit - i read more comments, and it sounds like the baby uses the nanny more as a pacifier)
If the calf already has a mother, why would she need a "Nanny"? Doesn't the mother have milk to give to the baby? I don't know much about Elephant's social structure.
Nannies watch over baby and give mother a chance to rest and take care of herself..baby elephants are exhaustingly interactive. Nanny may not have milk, dry duckling comforts the baby and establishes a strong bond
They need a herd and its complex structure to meet their emotionsl needs (and for offspring safety in the wild). This mother in particular needs the support as she is recovering from trauma and adjusting to a new home while raising an infant. The bonding will be beneficial to all.
