- A Beautiful Second Meeting with Baby Elephant, Phabeni and the Entire Herd 💚🐘🍃
• A Beautiful Second Mee...
By now, March 2024, little orphan bull Phabeni has in fact not only met every elephant in the Jabulani herd (his new family) but he has also been accompanying them on walks in the wilderness each day. We need to edit, publish and post our latest footage quickly for you so you can see how the moments unfolded. But first… we want to walk you through this last introduction, because look how special these scenes are!
Setombe is a firm favourite as Phabeni’s surrogate mother, although Lundi still holds a bond with the calf. Khanyisa is much less jealous and combative than in the first introduction with Phabeni and Kumbura is really showing immense interest in helping to support the bull.
What a beautiful family! They touch our hearts deeply in their show of love, welcoming this wild orphaned bull into their embrace and letting him know that he need never be alone again.
To all at HERD 👫 & 🐘s, I think it nearly impossible for you all to know how wonderful and mindfully transformative HERD vids are to us here in the US. We don't simply watch the vids, we are there with you in the vids. Thank you all for doing this vital work and sharing these amazing creatures with us. 🐘👫😍🙏👏
More, more, more Phabeni videos, please. Can’t get enough of the little guy, the herd and the whole crew. So excited about his integration - what a precocious and confident little guy!
Hes such a brave little chap, not at all worried by all those massive bodies around him. I love how they get so excited at a baby. They are a truly benevolent animal society.
Lucky little bugger ❤❤😂
Love these videos 🐘🐘
So sweet how the whole herd gets excited about the new baby.
So much love for little Phabeni! He is a very lucky little guy to have been rescued and now has a whole new family to love him. Elephant mothers are so patient and kind even when they have to discipline. I just love watching them interact and make sure Phabeni is safe and sound. ❤️
These images are incredible..a close plunge into the complex relationships and behaviours of elephants 😮
I'm so amazed that Setombe has adopted him. I thought she was too dedicated and attached to Klaserie to want to take on a new baby, but what a lovely surprise. We know she's a brilliant mother so I couldn't be happier for little Phabeni 💙❤️🐘
This is my Africa!!!.....so proud of all the caregivers . We see you and appreciate your efforts.
What a beautiful sight!!❤🐘
All the Beautiful names for your Beautiful Elephants
It's not just a rain, it's a tsunami wave of emotions... and so beautiful❤🐘💛🧡
We all can learn from the kindness, selflessness and compassionate hearts being displayed by this amazing HERD. They are such a unique group of elephants who, in their own ways, have been hurt, abandoned and eventually accepted by their new family. They each know how it felt to be alone and are now showing the gratitude and maturity of having been saved. They are showing little Phabeni that he is now part of their family. There will be bumps along the way, just like any relationship. However, in the end, Phabeni will eventually see that this is his family and that he is not alone anymore. Thank you Adine and carers for all that you do 🙏❤️
I am now as deeply in love with baby Phabeni as I am with the pink princess Khanyisa! This whole herd has stolen my heart for years now and the babies most especially! What a glorious wonder they are! It’s so amazing to see Setombe fall completely in love with “her” baby boy 🥹🙏🏻♥️
When you lose your mommy but then gain 6 new ones! Incredible how caring they all are with Phabeni. What a blessing your herd is! ❤
What a amazing gift.
Hard to imagine my little man will grow to be a amazing, majestic elephant 🐘 ❤
❤ Watching the Beautiful Giants.Thanks to all who care for them❤. Stay safe. GOD Bless.
So beautiful like to our members guard for me.
The way the big elephant lifted her leg to get over Phabeni was really something! There it's 100% thought, decision making in that action. Courtesy, carefulness = intelligent!! It just amazes me over and over again with each video. Always exciting to see what they are going to do. It makes all the sorrow in my life just go away.
Thank You
To
Each & Every
One of You and of course all
The
ELEPHANTS! ❤❤
I love how Phabeni has surprised everyone by choosing Setombe and I love how Setombe acts like she simply adores him! Good for Khanyisa for being a good girl today!--Only one or two sly little back kicks! I love how the heard is accepting this new little guy! He is just one of the cutest little things I've ever seen!
What a privilege to see Phabeni accepted by the herd. Very intense at times, but magical ✨😍✨
It’s so wonderful to see how excited they are to great the baby P. Always a joy.
It’s so lovely to see the elephants being so close. There better then some humans.xxx🎉😊
The ellies love him already. So very happy for Phabeni. This is so wonderful what The Herd does for the babies, and all of the ellies. Great day.
The defensive position to protect the baby always amazes me ! I love how they caress the back of his cute ears!! 💕
Love the way he avoids the traffic jam by walking underneath everyone.
Thank you all so much for sharing this! I can never get enough of watching and listening to these BEAUTIFUL ELEPHANTS!🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I fall in love with all the 🐘 everyday. ❤❤❤
There is nothing going to hurt that baby with that awesome wall of protection around him. 🤗 i LOOOOVE elephants..
Thank you for sharing this beautiful moments 🥰
I loved everything about Elephants ! They are Treasures !
How Phabeni ❤️ hi all elephants 🐘❤️. Hi khanisa ❤️💕 do not be jealous. You have stolen my heart ❤️
What a beautiful sight! I could watch them all day long. ❤
💯❤️
Me too! 😃
I agree. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Yes! Me too! Sometimes I binge watch! ❤❤❤❤❤
Me too ❤😊@@amber40494
It's awesome the way you hold the camera to record. It makes me feel like I'm actually there.
Phabeni is finding so much comfort and joy with this wonderful loving family....the smells, the touch, the rumblings, the protection all contribute to keeping this baby calm and feeling like he really does belong. Thank you also to her brilliant human family for making all this possible. Beautiful video! ♥♥♥
Sweet greetings from the most beautiful Pink Sunshine Princess I know,for me at least she’ll always hold a special place in my heart as the original “first” baba who brought me to HERD and it has been such a joy getting to see her blossom into a strong confident 4 year old a far cry from the fragile horrifically broken infant on death’s doorstep when she first arrived,I’m so proud of her!!🐘☀️🩷🌸🥺🤗
So lovely to see them accept Phabeni. They are such a special herd.❤
I've got secretion again.. so so much admiration for all of our Family here, a little extra for Lundi and her exceptional guidance to one and all.
Hi Fishan my Boy, hi Khanysia and Mambo, hi Klaserie and Towkwe, hi Bubi and Limpopo, not forgetting Setombe, Sebakwe, Tigere, Joshua, Adine and all of the Family, I'm glad jealous Jane has settled down.
Thank you for allowing us this intimate time at Herd, I love each and every one of you 🩵💙🩵
@@JulieRushworth
I definitely understand your heartfelt words. What a wonderful rainy day elephant wonderland.
Blessings to all ❤
Such a beautiful and wonder sight to watch these Magnificent grand giants. Thank you for sharing.
I am remembering when the large elephants stood around Khanyisa like that. She was so tiny then. Now she is backing up around this baby the same way. Watching them grow is amazing.
And that's what's so delightful about elephants, their highly developed instinct to care for their young
Kinda seemed like she took a tusk to the face while trying to be helpful at the end.
@@bogdang.7627
I don't think it's instinct so much as experience within the herd.
So happy to see this video today! Been missing sweet baby Phabeni…, hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘 to ALL of you at HERD.
AMAZING! SENDING LOVE TO ADINE AND ALL HERD CARERS! BLESSED TUESDAY TO ALL! YOUR DEDICATION IS ASTOUNDING! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! 💚🍼🐘🦏🌞🫶
Woke up to see this beautiful video! Thank you for sharing Phabenis journey with us! I look forward each week to see what’s happening in the day and life of these Elephants
Everything indicates that Phabeni will be healthy and will grow into a beautiful elephant, he has a very good survival instinct and appetite. I watch videos on RUclips of other rescued elephants that are not always lucky to survive and I mourn the loss of a cute little angel, Doldol, in Kenya. Life is fragile, Phabeni, hang in there
Sooo true, as we saw w/Fenya...God Bless her little spirit and Adine and orphanage caregivers who were sooo loving and patient w/her (she was sooo traumatized + scared for abt a week, but she finally relaxed and began to trusted again, again thx to Adine + team-angels!...Sadly, she did not make it...and she was beautiful...
RIP, precious one ✝️
Phabeni will make it...Altho, it took some time for him to pull out of his grief...He is a sweet, tender spirit...I think some of us wondered if he would ever "turn the corner"...
Honestly, he rebounded I think when Adine + team started introducing him to the herd (that and enriching his bottles, he too was malnourished... Thank God, not as much as Fenya).
After these introductions to Jabu + Lundi, then to Setombe and Klaserie, then the others, Phabeni started to come out of his shell...and he has been thriving ever since!
Honestly -- the entire story BEFORE Phabeni came to HERD (Tokwe, feeling the "call of Nature" for another baby, almost kidnapped a wild baby ellie!!! Then soon thereafter, this lady finds an orphaned ellie on her farm, her refusal to allow authorities to put him down + Phabeni's subsequent rescue + arrival at HERD -- it is ALL such a GOD-LOVE-Story!!!
We PRAISE You, Father God!
You KNEW! Your LOVE, MERCY + GRACE ARE PERFECT!!!
HALLELUIAH! 🙌 ❤️ 🙌
@@debrahouston2884Beautiful my sister in Christ Jesus.
If anyone ever questioned if God is real all they have to do is let their eyes behold a sight such as an elephant! Their entire being is HOW CAN THEY EXIST? We don't know who God is, yet, but we know God is PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY!
AMEN ❤ Lori from Canada
I’m always amazed at elephants using their sense of smell and touch.
I love watching Phabeni enchant everyone, big and small!
I’m glad Phabeni has an elephant umbrella to keep him dry so he doesn’t get chilled.
It was so wonderful to see Khanysia being nicer to Phabeni this meeting with just one little nudge with her back leg. Hopefully each meeting she will start loving him and forming a bond with him. I hope the other Ellie’s reassure her that she is still loved as well. 💕🐘
Little fellow must feel so calm and secure surrounded by that forest of legs. He hasn’t had that in a long, long time.
Moc hezký pohled na krásnou sloní rodinku gratulujeme mnohokrát krásné ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏👍👍🙏👍👍
Intrepid Phabeni beautifully maneuvers amidst the ordered chaos that is HERD! He is one with HERD!❤
Hello Adine, I love watching your amazing elephant videos, love your beautiful & intelligent elephants. 😊 Sweet little Phabeni is so adorable & handsome. 💜
The ellies are very protective of their new baby, so heartwarming to watch this magnificent herd protect Phabeni. ❤
Thankyou all for being so loving & caring to them all ❤❤❤❤ Beautiful part of this world. God bless !
Who's here after 1st 👀 "Walking On Sunshine"❔ Starts my morning off great❣️ I love when Phabeni scratches his little back on Setombe's tummy💕 🐘 ☕
Great job again❣️✌️🇨🇱🇺🇸
I’m going to start watching every day, particularly when I am having a rough time.
Yes. I really enjoyed PHABENI scratching on Setombe’s tummy So cutie 🌻🍀🥰🙏
Thank you for these amazing moments with you all 🐘🙏❤️
It is an honor to journey along with you. I am grateful for all the lessons you teach and for the knowledge i have gained. Elephants are magnificent.
Thank you for donating, we are grateful for your kindness and loyal support.
My heart just wants to jump out of my body when I watch these magnificent ellies❤❤❤ Teamwork with a Capital T ! 2 legged and 4 legged teamwork . Yesterday you were all Walking on Sunshine". Today you should be " Singing in the Rain ". So lovely to see this.Cannot thank you guys enough. 🌞🌧🐘🐘
Adorable 😍 🐘
Life can’t get any better a herd of elephants saved by humans thankyou
He’s just so brave and CUTE! (and LUCKY!) You are all proof that ANGELS WALK THE EARTH
My heart is full ❤ with each and every video. Such a beautiful and caring family they are. Watching them protect and love him without hesitation. He is so happy to be with them and them him. Truly remarkable. Thank you for allowing us to see the journey 🥰
Such loving gentle giants,my sweet Phabeni! Listening to all you carers. This says so much for the unity between Elephants and us. I love Kenisia🤗wow! I’m starting to remember every individual’s name. I am thrilled! It’s difficult not to bond with The Herd and all of you! You are so amazing!⭐️
By the behavior of the Herd you can see how important Phabeni is to them.. and the greeting ritual..has so much meaning. Such an intense experience.
Beautiful, beautiful moments❤
Thanks!
Thank you for donating, we are grateful for your kindness and loyal support.
Listen to the soft rumbles. So soothing!
I’m so far away and yet these elephants and the team feel like family. I look forward every day to watching the videos and getting updates and news.
With all the upheaval in the world it’s calming to watch something beautiful and loving.
Much love Adine and team from Calgary 🇨🇦❤️
@ange1mom438 Agree 💯%. Great to see the rain...the herd can use all they can get.🐘💞
Totally agree. It brings me so much joy!❤❤
What a beautiful group to watch, so sweet and protective, i could watch this all day. Thank you all for the great work you do
Beautiful sight to behold!
Words fail but I can't stop smiling. Non-human anamalia is a Supreme cosmic gift.
Can't forget about my baby girl. Love her pink trunk. She's is so beautiful. All the herd is beautiful
My heart went out to her when one of them pushed her with their tusk.
Everyone wants a piece of Phabeni ❤️❤️🐘🐘
When a calf is born in the herd, all the elephants gather around and all are excited. It's a wonder the calf isn't over run and not trampled. I think some have been harmed unintentionally. This herd is the same. It's amazing seeing Sebawke in the mix. Phqbeni is feeling overwhelmed. I hope he bonds with Kumbura and Pisa and Bubi.
Good problem to have, she’s going to need a lot of milk. Team effort.
@@Acqua2day Phabeni is a little bull. None of the females in HERD have milk; mammals must be pregnant or very recently pregnant to lactate, producing milk. They are on contraceptives as per South Africa law- elephants under human care are not allowed to reproduce. He suckles out of instinct and for comfort and bonding, getting bottles of specially prepared milk from the carers every 2 hours, 24 hrs/day..
@@PeterWilken-l6l setombe already claimed him :) looks like klaserie is backing up her mama too - I’m sure with time things might expand but setombe could be matriarch according to adine if she was less nervous considering she is an elder and also enormous compared to the rest of the females
One of the sweetest videos!
I don’t remember ever seeing
it rain during any of your videos
either! The views of such intimate
times between momma and Baby,
along with the support of all the other
elephants? Wonderful! Delightful
to see!
Also! Really enjoy the conversations
between Adine and the workers!
Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Thank you for the great work
you put in, to preserve and protect
these magnificent creatures!
Mary from 🇺🇸🙏👍❤️🥰🙏👍❤️🥰
Thanks you for all you do for these Beautiful Elephants ❤❤
Thank you for donating! ❤❤❤❤
Lovely. 🐘❤️
Thank you for your amazing support! 🤩🐘💚
@herdelephantorphanage any chance you can answer the abscess looking wound on side Phabeni left side? ❤️
@avs6372 they might not see your question, but I've heard them described as pressure sores in older ellies. Not sure if that's the case with Phabeni or not. He's had it for some time.
Kumbura would be such a doting, gentle, and attentive mother! I hope she gets the opportunity to have a calf of her own one day.
Seems like setombe wants phabani to be her baby. So sweet. ❤❤❤ . I love lundi she is so special and warms my heart. Setombe is very beautiful. So proud of her with phabani.❤❤❤
I just love how they are always so excited to wrlcome all the new babies!❤. I know the carers worry the herd gets overly excited, but I think his natural family knows exactly what they're doing and wouldn't hurt him for the world, even to the point of protecting him from the occasional back kick from his big sisters🥰. It's just magical how they all allow him to suckle, knowing that's what he needs. Is it the same in the wild? Thank you so much for letting us see this! 💕
The elephants trumpeting. So excited to see Phabeni. Esp Setombe God Bless her. Awesome video as usual.❤
Yes, I loved seeing and hearing that!😄💖
@@shoshannahorton7461Yes, me too! So many trunks, so little time!!😊
I can never get over how tiny the babies look beside the adults. Love to you all for all you do❤
"I can't believe how big Khanyisa has grown. I remember seeing her on RUclips when she was just a tiny, helpless hurting calf. Now, she has grown so much that if she decides to sit on her mother, Adine, again, she will probably flatten her...smiles!!! It's amazing to see how much animals can grow and change over time.
Elephants are very smart and bright animals always learning something new each day from them the baby is beautiful and cute stay with your family or herd God bless you guys you guys rock way to go stay safe and warm out there eat well bon appetit !! Joe ❤😂😂😅😊
Adine is such a beautiful soul and elephant whisperer! So much love in her.
The amazing elephants are so tactile. I wish humans would learn from them.
And now we get to see a brand new journey of Phabeni Wildheart once a scared starving soul who’s future was uncertain transformed into a sassy vibrant Firecracker who’s now surrounded by a plethora of adoring trunks there to support guide and love him for the rest of his life. He is unique and special in his own way and I’m so glad that I have been here from the start of his new life at HERD,I can’t wait to see where it takes him and to watch him grow up just as I did Braveheart. Thank you for lifting us up with these precious moments and filling us with such peace and more love for this little Seuntjie.🤗💙🐘🥺🌈
Beautifully said..
Amen to everything you wrote, these wonderful people give me lots of hope in this horrific human world the wars brings me great shame, BUT this brings me some hope
Cara Shannon, buon per te che sei già stata a visitare HERD ,hai visto la piccola Khanyisa e ora torni e vedrai il piccolo Phabeni ,in quel paradiso terrestre governato magicamente da Adine ,figli e tutto l'esercito dei carers ci si sta davvero da Dio ( come si dice in Italia),quando sarai là con la mandria manda un bacio a tutti gli elephants da parte mia. Buona vita a te Shannon e ai tuoi cari.Italia martedì ore 22,04
@@CristinaF210 I agree this herd and their dedicated humans are definitely a spot where we can find hope. Sometimes it’s not easily seen or found but it is there.🤗🐘🌈🥺🧡🧡
Well said
Lovely animals and lovely baby
Phabeni is doing so well with his introduction to the Herd elephants. The elephants are taking him in well. The mature female elephants are so kind and caring. It is fascinating to watch how the elephants behave around Phabeni. Their different personalities really show.
Wow just wow incredible Phabeni is well looked after I would be shaking in my boots being so close to this excitement and the rumbling love it. Softly softly, Phabeni is so small and happy to be with the grown-ups. Thanks for the incredible videos.
Phabeni is so tiny, it's sometimes hard to spot him in the midst of all those legs and trunks! He seems perfectly at ease though. Very careful leg lift from Klaserie! Well done sweet girl!!! Lots of curiosity, love and protection 💙🐘💙😊👍🙏
I often have to pause the video to find him in among the limbs especially when he's hiding under someone's tummy. It's so nice to see Khanyisa realising that she's still everyone's favourite meisiekind and that there's room in their hearts for a cute baby seuntjie too 💙❤️
@alison__16 Yes I agree! More than enough Love to go around! 😊💙🐘💖🐘🙏
They love him already ❤.
Thank you !!! thousand times !! what a happiness to watch again how much the herd loves the baby who has a beautiful face now ! 2 months ago we could see its skull bones he is wondeful and Setombe so happy to be mother again incredible ! Khanyisa did big effort to stay wise !! and the girls protected phabeni from Khanyisa ! Khanyisa is adorable she received so much love and attention that now there is the baby but soon they will be brother à and sister ! She never had a little brother ❤ a wondeful moment except this rain ☔️ but we could see how much Setombe was as warm shelter for baby !!! I adopted Phabeni and It’s so heart warming to me !!! have a good evening all of you 💕🐘💕🌿🥰
Loved your comment. And so right on🥰
@@shoshannahorton7461thank you very much ❤
@@shoshannahorton7461thank you so much !!!!❤
Bravissima cara Clodi.🥰
So your a Mama for Phabeni too. Shes so loved! ❤
Wow i just watched twicw in a row cuz SO much interactionw/Phabeni from so many trunks & all. 😃Trying to see who is doing what. Amaz8ng how they r now being very protective ofnew baby wwhile at times disciplining Khanyisa until she learns to be loving, safer, & gentlew/their new baby. Just like they did w/Timisa to Khanyisa. Timisa was thebaby til Khanyisa got there. And wow to see 1 of these giant ellies lift her leg up high& over Phabeni knowing she has to be super careful around him. Such a precious video! 🌷Thx for sharing these...dont want them to end & looking fwd to next. God bless u all! 😊🐘🐘🐘🐘
Magnificent, Thank you for all your love and compassion and respect for God's Gentle Giants,,,, Bless you all ! 💙💗💗💗💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💛💛💛
Phebeni is tough as nails. So fun to see him gain confidence! He is super sassy!
I think they are all so curious about him...and get excited when he appears. Everyone joins into the chaos! 🥰 The trumpeting is amazing.
Klaserie surprises me every time. She has so much love inside. What a sense of awareness as well! Wow that leg lift was something else!
Well done Klaserie.❤️😘❤️
@ange1mom438. Me too, as you said, well done Klaserie 😃💕🐘. She is amazing 🧡❤.
I will safely assume we all check everyday for Adine and the wonderful carers to bring Phabeni to mingle with the Herd🥰! They were so excited to see him💖! It was so precious to watch them follow him where he went. I knew when Phabeni went wee wee they would be inspecting that! Getting vital information on him! ~ What a beautiful treat to view this today~💜
So wonderful to watch. God’s plan for our earth. ❤️
Watching this brought me to tears...nature knows what it's doing! The joy and excitement for this tiny baby! ❤❤❤❤❤
It never ceases to amaze me just how gentle they all are around a baby. ❤❤❤
This is glorious. Seeing how the entire herd comes together to form a protective barrier around Phabeni. They love him already and have accepted him into the herd. God is good. Elephants are good.
This is so beautiful to see! Baby Phabeni safely surrounded by the other familymembers!❤🥰💕
Phabeni is very relaxed and confident, which only came about through round-the-clock loving care of his human rescuers meeting his social, medical, and nutritional needs in those critical first few months. It is wonderful they are able to reintegrate him into his adoptive herd so quickly so his traumatic period of loss and isolation was short and he seems to have bounced back quickly! It is lovely to see, but must be nail-biting when the giants are excited because he is so tiny. So much hard work goes on behind the scenes to make this possible. Thank you for sharing these precious scenes up close with all the great explanations and annotations! Well done Adine and dedicated carers and staff. Please donate if you are able to help the homestead go solar and continue to help orphan and rescued elephants. I wish I could give more💚🦁💚
@scrubjay93 I've heard that about YT more than once.🐘💞🕊🐦🇺🇸
