  • Carer Blessmore captured these moments at the waterhole with the elephant herd, showing the other wildlife who also frequent the dams in the reserves. Lundi takes on buffalo as she heads for a drink, ending with the buffalo scurrying past her speedily. The whole herd steps in the chase the buffalo off, with Khanyisa even splaying her little pink ears out in a show of her own intimidation tactics.
    A rhino mother and calf are met by a playful Bubi as the female elephant engages in a stand off with the rhino on the edges of the dam. Bubi shakes her head, fans out her ears, paces up and down but never goes full-out in her challenge. Deciding it’s not worth the fuss, she saunters off. Once two new rhinos join the crash, Lundi steps in and reinvigorates the challenges with more head-bowing and ear-fanning. Lundi stands her ground and wins, with sheer perseverance, as the rhinos back off to another spot along the waterhole.
    Thanks to Blessmore for being there to capture these scenes! 🎥

    Lundi and Bubi are so funny. They are gently protecting their herd. The Rhino mum keeping eye contact and her baby with head averted, maybe scared, is so touching to see. I'm sure they are thirsty too and hopefully can come back later.❤

    The destruction of wildlife and the environment is very upsetting and makes me feel bad about being a member of the human race, but with great people like you Adine and all the others at HERD and all the other great charitiesworking to save wildlife and our Planet gives me cause to be proud to be a human being again.

    I thought Lundi was going to spray water on that buffalo at one stage 😁 Bubi and the rhinos weren't going to give in. It was so interesting to see them interact, but I wouldn't want to see them have a fight. The waterholes are like community wells where everyone catches up and jostle for resources, where all the gossip is spilled and where friendships are strengthened.

    Lundi snapped that tree like a toothpick! That would have sent me running and screaming like a little girl! 😂 In this case, I felt sorry for the buffalo and rhino's. They didn't appear as a threat today. I wish they all could get along. They all need food and water. I also felt sorry for Bubi & Lundi as they were making sure the herd was safe. God bless all animals. ❤❤

      I thought the same, then thought I’d rather chase a threat away and not have that threat continue to stress me out. Maybe the buffalo and rhinos seemed impudent to the elephants and were, therefore, intolerable. Maybe Lundi and Bubi think, “How dare they?”

    It's so nice to see Khaynisa 🐘 in the middle of the HERD 🐘 protected by them as they chase off the buffalo 🐃.
    Bubi 🐘 tried to make the Rino's 🦏🦏 leave but the mother Rino 🦏 was going to protect her baby and was not intimidated by her. Then two more Rino's 🦏🦏🦏🦏 and Lundi 🐘 was going to stand her ground. Eventually they all move off. Great video Blessmore. Have a beautiful day Jabulani HERD ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

    Lundi is incredible and daring ! First she tries to oust the Buffalos but the whole Herd had to come to her rescue that task was a little bit too arduous for her alone Then as Bubi didn't really want to chase the mother Rhino and her calf too much energy to spend for little results, Lundi took over by being a little bit more threatening with head-bowing and ear-fanning and by being persistant with appropriate rumbles and before you know it, she won the victory thanks to her perseverance Thank You Blessmore for this exiting and inspiring video ❤🐘🐃🦏

    Could meeting with Phabeni stimulated Lundi's protective maternal instincts? She was so beautifully emotional and protective of him. Would her feelings be communicated to other members of the herd? Perhaps she has decided to crack trees and clear out the riff raff before they ever even think of threatening the wee little orphan. 😂❤
