The three individuals from HERD who went to pick up the baby are awesome. You can feel their joy and excitement in being able to help. It’s very evident how passionate they are about their work, and what an important work it is
Terrible pain is inflicted on baby elephants in Sri Lanka, India , Thailand and Bali. I wish we could stop animal rides that poaches baby elephants from wild and subjecting to cruelty to break them
Why oh why would the South African authorities consider killing this baby? Especially since they know elephants are endangered and there are so many organizations involved in conservation and saving the elephants. That makes absolutely no sense to me. Please if anyone can explain this please do!
@heatherg8835 Ha, ha. Just imagine the woman wanting to save the baby trunker and her her husband say "NO!!" Then she go hide am in de gadden shed and start to feed him there.
It's not like he is a kitten that anyone can take care of. He needs a whole team of specialists for years, and Herd is one of the few places that can do that. He is very fortunate that they have an open spot now that Khanisya is fully weaned.
Welcome Phabeni, dear baby. To see his little eyes close in appreciation of his first bottles is heartwarming...such a very hungry and thirsty little fella. May his life be healthy, happy and very long. Thank you for saving his life.

Oh his little eyes closing as he drinks his first bottles, he must have been so exhausted and thirsty. He's so good, he's taking it all in his stride. What a brave boy! 💙
In honor of this rescue, I just purchased 2 hoodies in support of HERD. I encourage my fellow fans of ADINE and her awesome Team to please do the same. (The perfect way to celebrate "Thanksgiving" week!)
I'm so happy for the herd, who are clearly broody. He's gonna be even more pampered and spoilt than Khanyisa, and that's saying a lot coz that little girl is LOVED
A life period. Elephants are becoming endangered. With 5 men including cameraman on 1 animal, don't they have enough men to deal with poachers who kill elephants to keep babies with mothers?
Thanks to his original rescuer❤ Thanks to the team who transported ❤ Thanks to Stavros who can't stay retired and shares his knowledge so selflessly ❤ Thanks to Herd and the Team❤ Thank you, brave Lammie for not retiring, either❤
The baby is so precious ❤ what a blessing all who rescued the calf are and just as Khanyisa has continued to do this little one will live a beautiful life filled with love and care. Thank you for all you do for these beloved elephants 🐘 ❤️ 😊
Yes, Lammie who misses her stable friend, Ngu, who passed and Princess Sunshine who is grown up. This will put some wonderful activity in Lammie's quiet life.
Thank you to the lady who was determined to save Phabeni instead of letting the authorities shoot him. 🙏 You are an angel. I loved the huge smiles on Joshua, Stavros and Tigere's faces throughout, but especially when they named Phabeni, they were like three very proud fathers! And Khensani's smile and excitement, getting the nursery ready for her tiny new baby ❤️ Thank you again to EVERYBODY involved in the rescue of this precious little soul 💙❤️
Now, poor little Phabeni has died, in spite of the loving care given to him by all the HERD staff. They all deserve huge amounts of praise for their dedicated work. They gave Phabeni comfort and friendship in his few months of life. Phabeni will never be forgotten.
Thank you to the woman who refused to let this precious baby die. And thank you to the entire team for all you do day in and day out. We have tremendous respect and admiration for all of you. ❤
A letter pinned to Phabeni. Welcome to your new home, Phabeni. You will be loved and cared for here. You are in a wonderful place to grow up happy and healthy. I can't wait for you to meet your new family. I know you have no idea, but you are already a member of the best HERD . Your wounds will be healed, and the love flows like a river here. So welcome to your new home, and we look forward to each and every video that shows us your growth. Welcome, little man. We are already in love with you. Khanyisa, move over. You aren't the baby anymore. Look how healthy and happy she is. You will be the same.
Hooray! Another successful rescue! I am relieved to see him take to drinking milk from the. bottles immediately! I loved seeing him defensively "ramming" the humans around him. A truely wild animal! 😃 Fantastic job, everybody!! I'm definately looking forward to watching how his life evolves! Jennifer San Francisco Bay area USA
What a great video! Thank you for sharing how you got the baby to the orphanage. And it sounds like Lammie is excited to have a new elephant to care for.
What a blessing! This little babies first steps into Herd have ensured him a bright and beautiful future! His human family and extended family love him already! Once he meets his new Herd...he will be thriving with love! Owen, Tiger, and Starvros were the perfect team to rescue him....as they smiled on with such pride! Starvros and baby Phabeni already have a connection..as does Adine! May the Creator cotinue to bless them all! Humble thanks to Herd for once again stepping up to the plate with absolute LOVE! ❤❤❤
Oh the excitement is in the air! Look at those joyous smiles on Stavros, Tigere and Joshua, PROUD FATHERS of HERD naming their new baby boy Phebani! Adele and the wonderful people at the orphanage have a new baby to spoil!
This made me cry. Poor little baby must have been so scared. Can't see, in a van with humans who he had never been around,but thankfully, once he got to HERD, he ate. The lady who saved him, thank you for not letting the authorities shoot him. Big ?, why would they do that? The vet team was amazing, and of course, Stavros, Joshua, and Tigre are warriors. May this baby grow strong and confident like our baby K, Timisia and Pisa. Lammie, work your magic once again. Blessings to all. 🙏🩵🐘
I cried like a baby to think of them shooting this beautiful, sweet, little bull calf. I'm so grateful that you could save him. God bless that wonderful woman that managed to save him from that horrible fate. What a waste that would've been. Edit: I kept wondering what that funny sound was when they got Phabeni back to HERD - I would've never guessed it was Lammie!
I'm so excited about the new baby Phabeni! Thank you for rescuing him and to the wonderful lady who called for help from the Herd to take this little one. Stavros and Adine...you are irreplaceable along with all the Carers at the Herd. I can't wait to watch this little boy grow and play with Khanyisa! He's going to get such good care. I can't help but feel sorry for his Mama who is probably missing him terribly, but he will grow and thrive with the special care he receives from Adine, Stavros and all the wonderful Carers.
Thank you so much Joshua Stavros and Tigere and the driver for bringing phabeni to his new home. Such a sweet baby elephant and sad hes list his mother and herd. Relieved to know he's safely at jabulani HERD where he'll be lived and cared for. Joshua Tigere and Stavros, thank you for your loving kindness and reassurance to phabeni. I'm so glad hes safe and warm and fed. I noticed the milk looked like a coffee colour and was wondering what sort of milk phabeni is having ? What a blessing each one of you are to jabulani HERD. God bless you in Jesus Christ name Amen . Can't wait to see him settled and thriving.
They estimate Phabeni is about 4 months old. Not intending to be offensive here, but at 4 months in the wild baby elephants will naturally consume certain things. The bottles he'll be fed for several weeks are call "Shit Shakes". They take some of the dung from one of the healthy adult elephants in the herd and mix a portion of it in his bottles along with milk formula and a few other ingredients. They will also hand feed him some of the dung directly. The baby elephants need to ingest the dung to develop healthy bacteria in their gut. Their milk formula during their first year, in particular, changes several times. Adine, who loves the elephants with her whole heart, performed alot of research and spoke to a number of large animal veterinarians to develop just the right formulas for Khanyisa over the last 3 and a half years and they will now use the formulas they developed with Phabeni. I'm excited to watch this new baby grow and be welcomed into the Jabulani Herd.
@catherinethomas1276 Adine has mentioned this before in videos, and again in the live feed yesterday...in the baby's milk they add dung from other herd members as it helps their gut area. That's why milk looks brownish. Baby elephants will also eat dung which helps with digestion. You may recall videos of Khanyisa doing that very thing when she was very young. They call them "poop shakes" or "s**t shakes."
To see these grown men so excited about this new elephant brought tears to my eyes. True Angels along with Adine and those at HERD. God bless all of them for showing compassion to this innocent. You can tell their hearts were full of joy to be able to do this. And they have filled our hearts too. So looking forward to this journey with all of you. Thanks to everyone for protecting and caring for Phabeni.
I will watch this properly later but just wanted to say "Thank You" to the lady who saved Phabeni. God Bless You. To think he was going to be shot! For what? A frightened baby, separated from his family and doing no harm. Looking forward to seeing this later! 👏👏👏🩵🐘🩵. I LOVE you all at HERD 😊❤👍🙏
I know, it's madness! I get the logistics and cost of moving him, and that they can't release a milk dependent baby into the Kruger Park on his own (he wouldn't last long against predators), but this is why we have places like HERD and HESC. Surely the first thought is to help him not kill him. I think Nungu was already being his guardian angel and made sure he ended up near a lady who was determined to save him.
Thank you so much Tigere, Stavros and Joshua for this super vision, to see your excitement and taking us on the journey to get this lil fella Phabeni. How he tucked into those bottles of milk was fabulous just accepting with no issues! To hear Lammie bleeting no doubt a welcome, she must of been rather lonely but now she has a lil mite to look after! 💖👏👌
Bless the woman who protected and saved this calves life! So easy for the authorities to just snuff this precious little life out. We who follow HERD know how each and every elephant is a unique individual who deserves a happy, full life! The joy our wonderful carers feel while rescuing our boy is contagious!❤️🇨🇦
He's fiesty and a fighter! He'll be fine, I'm sure. Thanks to everyone that was involved in saving that baby. He can't help it that he got separated. He deserves this chance! And Lammie is telling us all about it lol. I'm excited to see who the adoptive mother is going to be!! Move over Pink Princess.....Phabeni has arrived what a handful! LOL
I’m so glad that Stavros was there. He has such a way with the babies. This is not to take anything away from the other men who are clearly happy to rescue this little bull.
Thank you HERD for saving this baby’s life. To all you beautiful People we need to Donate to HERD help them with bottle milk not only for this precarious baby but for Khanyisa. Adine count in my donation. Love ♥️ all.
It's utterly shocking that if not for the woman whose yard he wandered into, this beautiful little bull would have been treated as a nuisance and killed. Just shocking! Thank you, Stavros, Tigere and Joshua for your efforts toward little Phabeni. Thank you, HERD. God bless you all! ❤️ Love when he tries to headbutt people. So cute and feisty!
@@deanneteats5672 they are orphans because human wildlife conflict has taken over. Besides droughts, accidents and predators and tourism abuse in Asia. The level of hurt is over the top. That's why wildlife conservation exists. They spend so much $$$ on finding solutions and funding is everything.
Welcome to the herd little Phabeni, you are in the best hands possible so you can recover from your ordeal and the loss of your mother. May you grow to be a strong and healthy, happy and secure with your new carers, friends and elephant family in your new environment. To everyone who made this rescue possible - thank-you so much. I'm so excited there is a new baby in the Herd - Lammie is too 💜 Here we go again!
@lindaj5492 Linda, what a beautiful thought and wouldn't that be a moment for posterity? We'd all be in tears with that video. I do hope Adine and HERD find a way to thank her and let her know how many people around this planet are sending thoughts and prayers of thanks for her loving actions. There's a place in heaven for her...IMO!
That would be WONDERFUL🐘💙🥰 Thank you just isn't enough for saving the LIFE of this scared, confused, HUNGRY baby boy💙🐘🍼 There IS a special place in heaven for such a CARING + LOVING SOUL😇👩God bless you for giving this little, feisty bull a chance at life🙏 Phabeni couldn't be in better hands👩🌾👨🌾🐑💙💚🐘🍼🙏
Thanks very much to the lady who saved him. Thanks very much to the wonderful careers 🍀 and the extraordinary Herd that will brought him up 🎉🎉🎉. He is safe now. Hi khanisa ❤️
The woman who saved him is a legend, I'm sure there were plenty of people who thought one less elephant was the best kind of elephant. Mad respect to her from NZ.
A new baby elephant at the Herd and took to the milk bottles Wonderful🐘💙…..Phabeni is the same age as Khanyisa was when she first arrived and Lammie can’t wait to take over as his comfort companion🐑❤️ A job well done by all the Carrers and staff at the Herd ❤️
Goodness! Fancy waking up to find a precious little baby in your backyard. God bless the dear woman for standing her ground to save little Phabeni. My heart hurts, thinking of how scared and confused he must have been, wondering where his mummy and family are, and they must surely be wondering where he is; so sad. But thank heavens for HERD's amazing team! How excited they all are, and Khensani too. So glad Stavros was there to help keep the little guy calm during the journey and at the nursery too. Praying for sweet little Phabeni's recovery and integration into his new family 🙏❤🐘❤
A humongous thank you to the lady who was determined to save him. Thank you to the vet and staff who picked him up and thank you sooooo much to HERD for taking him in. Thank you to the HERD carers for taking such good care of him. When I saw him drink the milk, I teared-up and I'm so happy to see he's in good hands.❤❤❤❤Grow strong little one we love you very much.❤❤❤
Thanks to God that HERD exists for baby ellies in need! I share the team's joy and excitement for this adventure. Phabeni is already showing his spunky personality 😂
I found this channel last year when Khanyisa had already been staying at the orphanage for a while, so this is the first calf whose journey I’ll have the privilege of following since day one! So excited to get to know Pahbeni and for him to eventually meet his new family! Endless thanks as always to the carers who rescued this poor soul 🩷🩷🩷 He couldn’t be in better hands
WOW!!! Have you ever seen so many excited people !!!!! I had goosebumps from head to toes with the first glance. Shame,he's so tiny!!!! I was smiling so hard when Stavros was trying to peep into the crate for his first look. So,cute,Daddy Stavros sat in the back with the baby and it was so fitting for him to be the one to give the first bottles to the baby. This was so lovely to see.Thanks to you all.
Bless the woman that wouldn't let the authorities shoot Phabeni. Every elephant life is important as their numbers have decreased of late. You can see how excited the guys were to go to pick up this baby. He is in very good hands and I am pretty sure Tokwe and Lundi will be over the moon with happiness to have another little one to raise.
I think I've watched the video 6 times. The one man was rude to the lady that wanted to save Phabeni. I just wanted cry when he was having his bottles. The look on his face so sad and yet grateful for his bottles. It's way to easy for some to kill. God bless everyone at HERD..
I can’t wait to follow this little guy’s journey. I followed Khanyisa’s story from the time she was rescued blossom to the healthy girl she is today. Thank you for saving this baby!
Thank you to all the beautiful kind hearted people who helped save the baby! The sweet baby is in very good hands. Lots of love to you all and to the baby❤️😊❤️😊❤️

Yes, it was great seeing the glimmer in their eyes! I think everyone, not just Tokwe and Lundi (and me) was ready for a new baby.
Thanks and blessings for saving this beautiful Phabini calf. You carers are Angels. He will be loved and welcomed in this herd!❤
Terrible pain is inflicted on baby elephants in Sri Lanka, India , Thailand and Bali. I wish we could stop animal rides that poaches baby elephants from wild and subjecting to cruelty to break them
Thanks to all of you including the lady whose yard this baby elephant was found for keeping him safe and rescuing him.
And refusing to have him killed. I'm so mad at anyone who thought that was a viable path to take

Hi NJ in 0:12
He's just an innocent baby, why would the government want to shoot him?! Thank you HERD for stepping in and giving him a safe home!!
Because that is what their Government love to do.🤨😡🥺❤️🙏🐘
It's not like he is a kitten that anyone can take care of. He needs a whole team of specialists for years, and Herd is one of the few places that can do that. He is very fortunate that they have an open spot now that Khanisya is fully weaned.
It's not the government, but very likely the Park Authorities for whatever reason they saw fit.
@@susanmorris5520 Our government has many faults, but your statement does not accurately represent South Africa's wildlife policies.
Who is 'the government'?
Welcome Phabeni, dear baby. To see his little eyes close in appreciation of his first bottles is heartwarming...such a very hungry and thirsty little fella.
May his life be healthy, happy and very long. Thank you for saving his life.
Yes! I noticed his eyes closing as he relaxed, comforted and relieved to be feeding! Such a touching and sweet sight!

Stavros was having such a good time feeding Phabeni with the bottles. :D
Oh his little eyes closing as he drinks his first bottles, he must have been so exhausted and thirsty. He's so good, he's taking it all in his stride. What a brave boy! 💙
He reminded me of a human baby when they drink and their eyes practically roll back into their head. So precious! Poor baby was so very hungry!

I feel for the poor mother as she must be devastated at losing her baby 😢

I think they looked for the mother but they didn't see a sign of her. I don't know if she's alive or not. But they did say that Phabeni is an orphan.
Look at that smile on Stavros' face! He is so happy to have another baby to love!!!
God has put this little beauty in very safe hands. 💖🙏💖🙏💖
You can see in his eyes the relief he is feeling after he starts to drink the milk. Bless you HERD ❤

We who follow HERD know how each and every elephant is a unique individual who deserves a happy, full life! The joy our wonderful carers feel while rescuing our boy is contagious!❤️🇨🇦
Infinite gratitude to the lady who insisted on saving Phabeni. 🩵
Look at all those proud daddy smiles. Awww you can see the love already. How beautiful.
He's fiesty and a fighter! He'll be fine, I'm sure. Thanks to everyone that was involved in saving that baby. He can't help it that he got separated. He deserves this chance! And Lammie is telling us all about it lol. I'm excited to see who the adoptive mother is going to be!!
Move over Pink Princess.....Phabeni has arrived what a handful! LOL
I’m so glad that Stavros was there. He has such a way with the babies. This is not to take anything away from the other men who are clearly happy to rescue this little bull.
So glad we have HERD. Thank You.
Big thank you to the person who filmed the rescue and journey for all of us to see 💙💙
Yes, GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you all , for saving this beautiful baby elephant !! You are all so sweet ❤
Thank you HERD for saving this baby’s life.
To all you beautiful People we need to Donate to HERD help them with bottle milk not only for this precarious baby but for Khanyisa.
Adine count in my donation. Love ♥️ all.
It's utterly shocking that if not for the woman whose yard he wandered into, this beautiful little bull would have been treated as a nuisance and killed. Just shocking!
Thank you, Stavros, Tigere and Joshua for your efforts toward little Phabeni. Thank you, HERD. God bless you all!
❤️
Love when he tries to headbutt people. So cute and feisty!
I read this several times to digest the word " shoot". I'm far from naive and know it happens every day but can't wrap my head around it.
@avs6372 I know. I had to read it a couple of times myself. It would have been such a waste!
I can't believe their first instinct was to kill this poor animal, who is the victim here.
Never ever hurt an elephant. They are very special creatures and soo. Smart!!
@@deanneteats5672 they are orphans because human wildlife conflict has taken over. Besides droughts, accidents and predators and tourism abuse in Asia. The level of hurt is over the top. That's why wildlife conservation exists. They spend so much $$$ on finding solutions and funding is everything.
Fabulous.
Thank you all for your compassion and service!
Welcome 🐘🥰Baby Phabeni…❤️meaning
“Shelter” in Sotho!🎉
Blessings to all!🙏🏼🐘
Welcome to the herd little Phabeni, you are in the best hands possible so you can recover from your ordeal and the loss of your mother. May you grow to be a strong and healthy, happy and secure with your new carers, friends and elephant family in your new environment. To everyone who made this rescue possible - thank-you so much. I'm so excited there is a new baby in the Herd - Lammie is too 💜 Here we go again!
You are all heroes!
Thank God for the lady not letting authorities take him
I love seeing strong men being kind and caring to something that needs it. The men and women at HERD are so special!
I hope the lady who sheltered Phabeni from the authorities who wanted to kill him gets a chance to visit him at HERD one day 🙏🙏
@lindaj5492 Linda, what a beautiful thought and wouldn't that be a moment for posterity? We'd all be in tears with that video. I do hope Adine and HERD find a way to thank her and let her know how many people around this planet are sending thoughts and prayers of thanks for her loving actions. There's a place in heaven for her...IMO!
Well said
That would be WONDERFUL🐘💙🥰 Thank you just isn't enough for saving the LIFE of this scared, confused, HUNGRY baby boy💙🐘🍼 There IS a special place in heaven for such a CARING + LOVING SOUL😇👩God bless you for giving this little, feisty bull a chance at life🙏 Phabeni couldn't be in better hands👩🌾👨🌾🐑💙💚🐘🍼🙏
And now she must be feeling so sad knowing about his sudden demise.. 😢
I don't understand why they wanted him shot to begin with. If he wasn't showing signs of a disease then it is ridiculous idea.
Thank you Gentlemen for taking care of this beautiful baby elephant
Thanks very much to the lady who saved him. Thanks very much to the wonderful careers 🍀 and the extraordinary Herd that will brought him up 🎉🎉🎉. He is safe now. Hi khanisa ❤️
The woman who saved him is a legend, I'm sure there were plenty of people who thought one less elephant was the best kind of elephant. Mad respect to her from NZ.
@@complimentary_voucher exactly 👍👍👍. Yes respect also from Europe 🇪🇺🍀🍀🍀
Bless her soooooo much ❤❤❤❤
Респект из России@@candidaprout560
A new baby elephant at the Herd and took to the milk bottles Wonderful🐘💙…..Phabeni is the same age as Khanyisa was when she first arrived and Lammie can’t wait to take over as his comfort companion🐑❤️ A job well done by all the Carrers and staff at the Herd ❤️
Goodness! Fancy waking up to find a precious little baby in your backyard. God bless the dear woman for standing her ground to save little Phabeni. My heart hurts, thinking of how scared and confused he must have been, wondering where his mummy and family are, and they must surely be wondering where he is; so sad. But thank heavens for HERD's amazing team! How excited they all are, and Khensani too. So glad Stavros was there to help keep the little guy calm during the journey and at the nursery too. Praying for sweet little Phabeni's recovery and integration into his new family 🙏❤🐘❤
We all love those gentlemen❤❤❤❤❤❤
A humongous thank you to the lady who was determined to save him. Thank you to the vet and staff who picked him up and thank you sooooo much to HERD for taking him in. Thank you to the HERD carers for taking such good care of him. When I saw him drink the milk, I teared-up and I'm so happy to see he's in good hands.❤❤❤❤Grow strong little one we love you very much.❤❤❤
Welcome at home Phabeni!! 🍀💖🍀
Poor little thing. Great job HERD Team & Lammie 🤗
Ngungu in heaven gave the herd and Lammie a new reason to be 😊.
💕Lammie (Nungu , your memory is a blessing 💕)
Phabeni will have a guardian angel looking over him. 💙
Thanks to God that HERD exists for baby ellies in need! I share the team's joy and excitement for this adventure. Phabeni is already showing his spunky personality 😂
Lovely to see this little calf taking to the bottle
I found this channel last year when Khanyisa had already been staying at the orphanage for a while, so this is the first calf whose journey I’ll have the privilege of following since day one! So excited to get to know Pahbeni and for him to eventually meet his new family!
Endless thanks as always to the carers who rescued this poor soul 🩷🩷🩷 He couldn’t be in better hands
Rest in peace little brave angel 🙏
Another little Ellie saved, thanks to the Herd let's Hope all goes well for the little one . 🐘🐑
Thank you so much to all of you for your care and love to this baby, he is so cute❤❤
I SIMPLY LOVE THESE MEN FOR MANY REASONS...PURE LOVE FOR LIFE, COMFORT AND SUCH HAPPINESS WHEN GIVING HARDWORK AND CARE. THANK YOU!
WOW!!! Have you ever seen so many excited people !!!!! I had goosebumps from head to toes with the first glance. Shame,he's so tiny!!!! I was smiling so hard when Stavros was trying to peep into the crate for his first look. So,cute,Daddy Stavros sat in the back with the baby and it was so fitting for him to be the one to give the first bottles to the baby. This was so lovely to see.Thanks to you all.
Such an amazing awesome team 👍🏻 you guys are doing a great job in saving the lives of innocent baby elephants 🐘 ❤
Bless the woman that wouldn't let the authorities shoot Phabeni. Every elephant life is important as their numbers have decreased of late. You can see how excited the guys were to go to pick up this baby. He is in very good hands and I am pretty sure Tokwe and Lundi will be over the moon with happiness to have another little one to raise.
THANK YOU so much for taking care of our animals. The people involved are angels!!!! 🐢❤️❤️❤️
I think I've watched the video 6 times. The one man was rude to the lady that wanted to save Phabeni. I just wanted cry when he was having his bottles. The look on his face so sad and yet grateful for his bottles. It's way to easy for some to kill. God bless everyone at HERD..
Thank you 💙 God bless you all ❤❤
I can’t wait to follow this little guy’s journey. I followed Khanyisa’s story from the time she was rescued blossom to the healthy girl she is today. Thank you for saving this baby!
Thank you to all the beautiful kind hearted people who helped save the baby! The sweet baby is in very good hands. Lots of love to you all and to the baby❤️😊❤️😊❤️
Still miss this little boy everyday. Beautiful pup
That's where it all started. 7 months of love, joy and care. Thank you for sharing. My dearest condolences...
Danke!
