  • The scale doesn’t lie… Khanyisa is mighty large! What a phenomenal piece of machinery to still be carrying Sunshine’s weight - one donated by the Izindlovu Fund 🌞 Khanyisa is 705,8 kgs this week and still downing those kilo-loading milk bottles without any assistance.
    The scale only goes up to one tonne, so Khanyisa won’t be weighed many more times!
    Enjoy a morning with this special pink calf as she heads out into the reserve with her herd, with Kumbura, Limpopo and Fishan all close by! Watch the beautiful sunrise behind Lundi and Zindoga as the new day starts.
    We are counting down to her last night at the orphanage and sharing the moments as we hear her move to the homestead!

    What a beautiful site to see this beautiful ele to soon be integrated with her herd 24/7. To the team at HERD: Thank you so much for your dedication to Khanyisa and the HERD. It took many hands to make this achievement a reality. Much love to all of you! ❤️

    I’m looking forward to seeing Khanyisa’s first night sleeping with the herd. I hope we’ll be able to see some video of her reaction, will she be confused, ecstatic, missing her nursery? I’m very much hoping to see all of her emotions in a new situation! ❤️her!

    I really love this video. Please tell Stavros we love him! And Herman and of course Adine (and the whole Human Herd). I know some people are sad that Khanyisa is not a little baby anymore, but please only love and happiness because she's absolutely thriving and we didn't know if she would survive to be 3. I understand though because I've caught myself thinking she's growing up too quickly, but then remind myself what a miracle she is. She was sent to save her species and bring awareness of the horrible plight of the African elephants. Just like Fenya she did not die in vain. In her short time she put a huge spotlight on their plight. And to Adine you are "slaying" it down there in South Africa 🇿🇦 You are making women proud, in a time when women are losing our rights. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤🐘

    It might be a good idea to make her sleep with Kumbura, Lundi and Mambo (if Mambo behaves like a gentleman and responsible big brother) But you know better

    When I watch this I can see the sweetness of her soul in her eyes. Andine, I totally understand your thoughts and comment about her not needing you all anymore. I've felt that way about different pets of mine but.....she will always need your love and she will ALWAYS love you and her wonderful carers. Only one of the wonderful traits of eles. Please kiss her and tell her a grandmother from the USA is watching her since you found her and that this grandmother loves her from afar. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

    Khanyisa can do Math. I’m sure all elephants have this ability to do simple math in the way it affects their surroundings. Such as knowing how many elephants are in their herd etc. Khanyisa demonstrates clearly that she can count to 3. She picks up the first bottle and doesn’t stop looking for more bottles until she has drank a total of 3. Then she is done, knows she’s had her 3 bottles and continues to the next adventure. They are all so intelligent.

    Give her a week in the kitchen and she'll be able to make those bottles... And, although you upgrade the lock on those Gates often since she's been a baby, she keeps working it to figure out what the little trick is to get it open. All of these little things make my heart sing to realize exactly how smart elephants really are and always have been when they are not being treated like slaves or trophies. 🤗

    I am hoping when Khanyisa moves into the Homestead, she will sleep with Lundi, Mambo and Jabulani. Perhaps they will consider moving Kumbura out from Tokwe’s crowded area into Lundi’s also. Then Khanyisa can peacefully sleep with her wonderful adopted mom and her most devoted allomother Kumbura.
