The Jabulani Elephant Herd pick up the scent of wild elephants

- On another recent windy morning, the Jabulani elephant herd welcomed Khanyisa in the early hours of the morning, as they started heading out to spend their days foraging out in the reserve.
As they headed out passed the closest dam to their stables, the herd stopped, picking up the scent of the wild elephants. Adine has noticed it is often in a similar spot, and asked Last, an elephant carer about it. He said they often urinate in that area and the herd will continue to react even if it is not very fresh.
You will notice how they also lie the tips of their trunks gently on the ground, sensing for seismic vibrations through the earth, to see if they can feel them close by.
Soon they carried on to the water's edge before heading out into the reserve for the day!
Please forgive the video sound with the wind. We use a simple iPhone 11 and do not have access to any wind control gadgets for it. :-)

And we called them Animals. The way they protect the baby is more human than many humans do.
Awww... Kumbura was watching Khanyisa while walking next to her, and when Khanyisa got closer, she turned her head more and patted Khanyisa with trunk.
And when Khanyisa went past Limpopo, she touched Khanyisa couple of times with trunk too.
Good big sisters!
You would think animals this big would be lumbering along and bumping into each other. Instead, they are graceful and seem to have great body awareness. It's wonderful to watch!
Their spatial awareness and muscle control is beyond anything we can imagine for an animal that size. They always know exactly where the little ones are. It's incredible.
Thank you for your kind information.
I'm in awe at how silently they walk. So graceful!I'
Nature's incredible engineering ;-)
I would love to befriend an elephant, you carers are so lucky
Such beautiful sweethearts I love them soooo much GOD bless these beautiful sweethearts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and GOD bless these wonderful people for caring .
The sound of the wind doesn't bother me at all. Thank you for another lesson about elephants! 😊❤❤❤❤
I love the way the adults always touch Khanyisa when she passes by them. Love the sea of ellie legs. Beautiful!💙🐘
They walk so quietly for being such massve Animals!! I love Elephants!!
The filming is great, just like walking alongside these lovely creatures. I love them all .. tfs
Glad you enjoyed it
Adine and the entire carers and everyone at HERD DO AN ASTOUNDING INNOVATIVE and MAGNIFICANT way of filming and making us the viewer feel as if we are right there with them all within the herd ourselves. It takes a gift to do that. WE LOVE YOU ADINE and TEAM!
Please, what happens when herds come in contact with each other?
Baby girl in the middle of the herd being protected, I love it. ❤️🐘🐑
Can't get over how Lundi took in a baby like this...'Humanity' might grow so much by learning ellie lessons. Love to your beautiful tribe.
I can not agree more. This is unbelievable and we watch it every day
Well saiid.
@Trey you have to remember that all these grown elephants are orphants too. and why do you think they are orphants? in 99% of cases answer is : people. now, these elephants learned to distinguish "bad" apples from "good" they somehow can forgive, not forget - elephants never forget that these are the same species but better - this is what is amazing about this particular group and integration of good people who try to fix what bad people did. we all should support this movement, unfortunately this is the only thing we can do right now.
She's just so little and sweet, touching all her family with her tiny trunk, gosh I love her
They are so beautiful and such big animals. They are majestic in their own way. Love seeing them thank you for sharing this
Watching this gave me a sense of inner peace. They were just walking but I had to keep watching. They are so majestic and caring towards each other. We humans have definitely lost our way. Peace on earth
I feel that too. I wish there was more peace, maybe someday ❤️🙏🙏❤️
I'm so in awe of these noble creatures. What a honor it must be to watch over them.
It always amazes me how such big animals can walk so quietly. ❤️💕
It seems that the foot sole is very special.❤🎉🎉🎉
I am so glad these elephants are safe. They take care of each other so well. 🙏🐘💓
Thank you for all you do, too. You are certainly carers. 🙏
I am glad these elephants are safe and well cared for god bless the carer
The attentiveness to Little Khanysia at 4.24 with a gentle trunk to lead her back in front where they can keep her safer! It was so humbling to see. Then her little trunk in her "Up Periscope" mode at 11.55, to see where these wild elephants are! Just adorable! These gentle giants are wise beyond our knowing and my dearest wish is that more of humanity see the preciousness in all our wildlife and our planet! Thanks for another great video of a day with this incredible herd!
Such wonderful mothers these ladies are!
So protective of our little sunshine!
It’s amazing with their size they are very aware of where Ky is at all times
They do. When the babies circle around below their bellies, they know they are, have to know, as they are so much bigger. And during danger, they need to move, and still have the young one protected in the circle. I think they have very good senses and probably brains wired the way, that they are very aware where everyone next to them is.
Ikr? Even as they form a circle!
"Eyes in the backs of our heads," so to speak, is a prerequisite for any successful parenting.
ETA: And if I understand it right, their feet are so sensitive, they're using ground vibration for locating.
How I loved the super close ups of their skin and eyes and trunks! ❤🐘
Absolutely a beautiful sight to see! Then that incredible reaction from the herd when they sensed the wild elephants. They never cease to amaze me 💕🐘
The wind noise was nice to me as it feels more like I am out there with you. Thank you all for taking care of the herd. Without you heroes they would be killed for their tusks and left to rot. @6:00 Baby should be plenty safe directly between those 4 giants but they are not safe from evil men. I wish there were no bad men to protect them from. Thank you for every minute you spend guarding, helping, loving, feeding, rescuing, and doctoring these pretty amazing animals.
when I watch them it's like watching a well rehearsed ballet. although their size they are so graceful and careful where they walk.
I always think that,ballet dancers, so poised and gentle x
Well said. They’re magnificent.
Yes for sure it does piggie ; well said,I agree👍💓
You do know that they actually walk on their toes right?
@@kingkilak40 they do? I didn't know
Amazing how their front feet are round and their back feet are like ovals!
So much weight must be for distribution of all that weight!
Incredible what Mother Nature has provided for them!
Love you all!
Nope. That was one of God's many details in His perfectly created world. The fact that God cares so much about those details takes my breath away!! ❤❤❤
@@dianawebb2799 so true, you are giving glory to our Lord Jesus.
So sweet, the way this little girl she is walking in the middel of here protecters,it melts my heart.
Instantaneous choreographed reaction to the pick up of that scent...absolutely amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best elephant video quality on RUclips!
Remember by NOT skipping ads we are helping to support these ellies, and making it more possible for videos to continue. ♥️♥️♥️
Nice reminder👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t get ads coz I’m on premium. 🤔 Do they get percentage of what I pay
I never skip the ads. I ❤️ animals.
Marilen Allen they better than humans that’s for sure
@@lorrainegreen6016 they get a kick off from the ads, which of course helps with their care. As far as premiuim, there's gotta b some kind of way they do that. Maybe send a portion to the show's you watch, or they may send nothing at all cus you're paying to have no commercials. There is always a donate button. Or simply watching and keeping them relevant 😁
Thanks for not playing any music with. I love the sound of the wind. God bless you all. God please protect the wildlife
Now that’s the kind of hike I’d love to go on each day. My hikes only consist of noise and cement. So glad to be a member of your world. Full of love, Ellie’s, respect and nature as a whole. Thank you for your hard and dedicated work. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
I only very recently found this channel and I am hooked! These videos are a kind of peaceful wonder. I love watching them lovingly support and care for one another. That they are one big family of orphans is sad yet beautiful all at the same time. I love you guys for what you do!
I am emotional every time I see the elephants.
Such gorgeous majestic caring creatures. I love 💕 them
They are!
I've never smiled as much as I do when watching this films. Makes me love elephants more everyday. Such beautiful creatures
That makes us so happy - thank you Aina
Mama Lundi trumpets and flares out her ears: “ no one comes near my baby!” Somopane, Jabulani and Sebakwe poised for action. I never get tired of watching this amazing family. I’ve said it before I find watching them walk together is mesmerizing. 🇺🇸😍
I could watch things like this all day. It's amazing that the cameraman was able to be among the herd like this! 💛
It must be so awesome being able to be so close to these gentle giants and feel safe amongst them!
I love these animals. I watch everything I can about them. I study their language . They are so awesome a creation.
Its amazing how agile this beautiful animal is, nobody stood on a rock as they walked along, their vision must be impecable, me with two legs trip over my own feet..their hind legs have amazing stength just by watching how they walk...thankyou for giving me this privilage to look at such a beautiful sight... and the information you give us ... the way they communicate and sense things..
What a special moment when they waited for baby Khaniysa. Awww❣❣❣ Loved the way the bulls automatic protected the herd. So proud. 💕
Do you know how the full grown Ele bulls can live harmoniously in the herd?! I’ve been wondering this for a while now & the only thing I can think of is they were all orphaned &/or abused & have lived around/raised by/with ppl & bc of this has changed thm. I’m sure there are arguments bc no family doesn’t fight sometimes. We all know full grown Ele bulls leave the herd bc they become aggressive & it becomes dangerous. I can’t find any vids tht explain this, so how? I’m hoping you know or can point me in the right direction.
@@Ianna80 I've wondered the same thing regarding bulls...hopefully, someone can explain! :))
Love how Lundi and others stopped, turned around + waited on Khanise when something green caught her eye!
Then realizing, she scurried ahead as though saying, "I'm comin,' momma!" 🌾🐘🐘🐘🌾🐘🌾💞
Walking with elephants...how lucky I am! And so thankful to you for giving me this chance.
I just made a special day. Hug an elephant 🐘 day. Elephants are so amazing and they're truly special.
Watching these videos makes me glad my few dollars a month to HERD is sooo worth it. It’s like being in my ‘happy place’. Much love from Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸❤️🐘👋
Thank you Carol!! We appreciate it so much! Hoedspruit Netflix ;-)
SUCH MAGNIFICENT ANIMALS. I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE!!!!!
It's like I'm watching the worlds cutest VW bug drive down the freeway in a pack of loving semi trucks...
That is just the sweetest comment!! ;-)
@@herdelephantorphanage Agree! I'm smiling in appreciation and delighted enjoyment of your comment, Aaron. ❤️
@@chrisd755 💚💚💚
That description had me chuckling outloud!! 😘
I love to hear and see glimpses of the carers.
I love how the whole herd takes care of the babies. Elephants are such magnificent creatures.
you know i don't know what it is why I'm so fascinated with Elephants for! this is the way i look at Elephants, Have you ever seen a dog in a fence yard, And he keeps jumping up higher then the fence? The dog could just jump out and run away BUT He don't know that he could jump over the fence! So with Elephants They know exactly what they can and can not do! if they want to do something they will try to do it first and if they can't they will stop, Like a tree about 10in across if they know a tree that size they can push over they will push it over But if a tree is like 15 or 20 in they already know they can't push it over and they wont try to!They are so very big and so gentle at the same time
So very true!
That is because elephant 🐘 are smarter than dogs 🐕 and I love them 😍 ❤ both
I just love Khanyisa!!! At Christmas when I was 3 yrs. old, my aunt made me a pink elephant for Christmas. I kept it for 55 years. Khanyisa is a living pink elephant!!!!! I'm so thrilled she exists and I get to watch her grow!!! (I've dreamed of going to Africa. If I could, I'd volunteer to help take care of the orphans.) Thank you for all you do and all you share!!! It's Christmas each time I see your videos!
So cute when Khanyisa rubbed up against Lundi's leg!!!!So loving.
I've missed watching! Had things to get done. Glad to see everyone!!🙋🐘❤
Thank you Sue, Adine, Carers and HERD. Videos of our baby ALWAYS make my day. This is the only thing that uplifts my day. As soon as I wake up I look for our baby’s video or anything new that’s posted. PLEASE keep it coming. Adine you are a God send. I pray that these ellies keep being protected, have lots of bana grass, nutrition, shelter and long life.
Also our baby grow to be the Matriarch. She sure has leadership qualities.
That was super cool to take a walk with all of you. I'm mesmerized by all of them. Just WOW
I have been learning so much about elephants from watching your channel. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! that is great to hear!
I love watching how the Elephants walk their strong wonderful legs, their incredible feet. They are so graceful they take such good care of each other. It's just a shame that you have to have guards with them. I wish that they could stop poachers for ever.
I absolutely love this herd!! They are so special and when they go into protect mode it just melts my heart!! I love watching them every day and what they do in their daily lives. Thank you HERD for sharing them with all of us!! You all and the Ellies mean a lot to us even tho we have never met or spoke in person, you are a special part of our day and lives!! Thank you and when I can afford it, I will order a shirt and make a donation because you are all so special!! Thank you!! 🐘😍🥰❤❣🐘
I love this precious herd!!
what a lovely video as always ❤🐘
Loved waking up to this on my birthday 🎁
Thank you to you all at herd xx ❤🐘
Happy Birthday 🐘🎂
thank you trayc x
Happy birthday! 🎊🎂 I wish you a happy and healthy year.
Hope you have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🍧🎉
thank you buba x
The natural sound of the wind is nice. It is what it sounds like.
Breathtaking in all sense! ☺💖💞💕💖
Your videos, just walking with the herd...so soothing and I feel the love and caring from them toward each other. What amazing animals with such deep souls. Thank you for all you do.
This herd is very protective of each other. Watching these Herd videos calms me down.
very touching moment when khumbara protect khanyisa and lundi waiting khanyisa ❤️❤️
Just a pleasure to watch & know they are safe. Lundi waiting for Khanyisa is so motherly sweet. Everybody takes care of the baby, especially when they sense something is not right. 💗🐘🐘💗
Graceful and gentle giants. Love how protective they are of the little one!
Who on earth would dislike these videos, there are some strange people out there
That is life! It is impossible to please every one! :-)
This was so sweet they probably just had tears in their eyes and hit the wrong button
Pete hilll, People who support other, similar organizations will downvote the videos of another org. Happens all the time on YT.
@@gabe-po9yi Oh really? I doubt that. People who support or run elephant organizaions aren't likely to play against other organizations. Why on earth would they do that? They most likely love elephants and every org that tries to help. Sometimes I think it's RUclips AI that downthumbs videos to have higher popularity to videos they want to promote - or maybe some people just hate puppies playing too.
Aurinkohirvi Yes, I am sure.
FUNNY HOW THE BIG BULLS, SEBAKWE, SOMOPANE AND JABULANI DON'T SEEM AS BOTHERED AS THE COWS BY THE SCENT OF WILD ELLIES!!!😃...LOVE HOW LITTLE BABY KHANYISA IS TREKKING STRONGLY ALONGSIDE HER GIANT HERD FAMILY!!!...AND SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY SOOTHED WHEN LAST BLEW INTO HER TINY TRUNK!!!...CUTIE!!!😍💜🐘🐘🐘🙋😃🙏👍
Wind did not bother me either, I loved watching your beautiful Herd again today!
Thank you all, for another wonderful lesson, I’ve learned so much!
Love the natural sounds. They look so wonderful. What an honor to walk with them.🐘♥️
❤️❤️❤️it’s so great to begin my morning with the Jabulani herd!
Good morning !
🌞
so peaceful to watch them. i prefer this type of video vs edited drama animal documentary. They have a wonderful habitat and people who know and love them♥️thank you
God made these beautiful animals perfect..x
Well said ,, the wonders of
GOD !!!
I only he protects them from their enemies
Always fantastic videos of these magnificent elephants close up, loved seeing how their feet pads the ground, love them all. 🐘💞🐘🌿🐘🧡🐘💜⭐🥰
I love how protective of each other are, they are beautiful gentle giants. I have learnt so much from all your videos, Thank you. These videos should be shown to kids in schools in every country so they can see and learn about elephants and help protect them. People need to understand animals are no different to humans, they all each have their own personalities and they have emotions like us. We need to change how people see animals, we need to do more to protect them especially elephants and giraffes and their are many more that need our help.❤️🙏
I just love khanyisa and Adines bond. They really do love each other💕💖
Oh yeah! Like her camera is so much pointing towards Khanyisa. I actually love it when she points it somewhere else. 😉
Although of course the little one is in my interest too.
Aurinkohirvi khanyisa is one special elephant, that’s for sure. Love 💕 them all at Herd. Carers and elephants alike 😍
It’s great to see how they all care for each other
I love elephants.They are so organized and United.The little one is awesome.
It’s just amazing to watch their natural behaviour ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Soo much for letting us walk with the herd
I just realized that the elephants never seem to bump into one another, and they always seem to know where the babies are - no one steps on or trips over them. How does the herd function like that? It’s fascinating!
It fascinates us too! :-)
The Jabulani herd on the move is a magnificent view. Love it
Khanyisa looks so comfortable and safe walking with the adults. It’s so good to watch her enjoying their company, love and protection.
True magic, the love, respect & care these gorgeous animals show for each other is amazing. May they always roam the earth, safe & without fear...
I wish I was there!!!❤🐘❤
I wish this was "MY" video!! 😁😁
Khanyisa has the most beautiful eyes for an albino elephant! They are so mesmerizing and hypnotising that when you look at them you can't help but stare into them. So beautiful just so so beautiful! 💕🐘😍
I wondered if she was blind or partially blind because she is albino? Let me know.
Truly is a BEAUTIFUL sight to see!🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you study elephant behavior REALLLLLLLLLL CLOSELY like me, I am a weirdo, you will notice how whenever little Khanyisa is with them, of course they always keep her in the middle, or surrounded, but look at the EYES OF MOST OF THOSE OLDER ELE'S she is surrounded by... they are constantly checking back to fixate on her as she is walking, if she speeds up - THEY SPEED UP - if she slows, - THEY SLOW - if she takes a tumble - they stop to make sure she is ok - if she kinda wanders a bit in a weird direction - AT LEAST ONE will watch her with their eyes like A HAWK and maybe stick back to let her do her thing, but follow her in case she needs backup.... I noticed this amongst other things, but if you are into things like that, I think you will be in for a treat, it is TRULY REMARKABLE. No matter what distraction there seems to be, big, small, etc. THEY ALWAYS DO THIS when it comes to the little ones with them. We know they use their trunks to communicate and "check up and on" her, where she is, making sure she is ok, that's another way to communicate, but look into their EYES, you will see something even more amazing. Sometimes it is tough unless we see them from the front view or side, but beneath those beautiful lashes, look at their EYES and watch them reallll close when around our little girl. HOW EXTRAORDINARY!
Claudette: Thank you adrestia nyx, for pointing this out--I love to observe and learn (and treasure their loving behaviors ) but you really enhanced my observations! Thanks
I agree, SO interesting!! This is one of my favorite clips...A newer one (fall, 2021) shows Timisa getting all scared, the herd surrounds T.)
Thank you so much - you give all of us, (HERD watchers) HOPE. Thank you - every video is awesome.
Khanyisa take 5 steps to the others 1 step. No wonder she naps a lot. I forgot how little she was.
So sweet how those giants take of and look out for this baby that they've adopted.
I love all the Elefants! God bless
them! I ' m from northern Germany!
Elephant butts are the cutest!
Would constantly walk around and kiss and hug them all!
Fantastic to see Kanyisa back with her herd family, she keeps up very well on the walk with her little legs n Lundi n the others wait patiently when she falls behind 💕🐘🐘Shame wrinkles look nowhere near as good on us as our Elephants 😂🐘🐘🐘🥰
Just loved watching when Lundi waited for khanysia..🐘💚
I love how she stays right in the middle of her protectors💙💜💙💜
Did you see the pool Lundi gave Ky ? It was such a mom look like are you coming? Put tears in my eyes so sweet they are amazing
Best view ever.....made my day!😀
Gentle giants are very protective of their little one and they are so intelligent animals .Love them so much 💖Thank you for keeping them safe and happy .God bless you .
Wow the Jabulani herds were on high alert, for the wild elephants...
