It was a very special moment!

Thank you so much!

Trevor Costelloe Thank you Trevor! 🙂🙂🙂

Mandy Monk Thank you so much Dear Mandy!

karin tieche Thank you so much Karin 🙂 We hope to meet you soon!!! Be safe! The LEO Team

Amy Turner Thank you so much Amy! We look forward to meeting you in the nearest future!

Katherine Uribe thank you for your message. We are happy that you enjoyed the video! Wildlife continues its life. Animals don’t know what is covid. They are simple and continue their life as usual. Their only concern is survival. There is so much to learn from nature every day. We hope you can join our project one day 😊

@@LimpopoEcoOperations So true. However, human presence affects their behavior: now, our absence does as well. During the lockdown animals began making forays into areas they previously avoided. There were whales in places where there hadn't been in over 100 years. I'm sure you read or heard about the accounts. I think it's an important phenomenon that we think about. We should consider our impact on the animals with whom we share this planet, and let it guide us into better practices and greater sensitivity going forward.

Katherine Uribe Hi Katherine, definitely the fact that humans haven’t been in some areas gave more space to animals to move into (also it depends where you are in the world though - in South Africa reserves are fenced to protect animals better, in other countries everything is opened etc). The fact that animals move in places where they usually didn’t go is the demonstration that humans are taking all space to wildlife, that is forced to stay in tiny areas. The best solution would be to stop building “horizontally” and protect all nature areas and create new ones, transforming land dedicated to some industries, shopping malls, agriculture into wild areas. Will humans ever give up something to the benefit of our planets? Will all governments agree with this? Will humans slow down in “breeding”? Will humans buy and pollute less? Do all people realise that nature is the base of everything? A lot of questions that only education, honesty, a world common goal and lack of greed could respond positively. We do not give up and try our best to educate people! Have a wonderful day. #LoveNature

@Damon Manda, Hi, may I believe you speak with experiences? I mean, are you close into it by work or living there around or you just think that your meaning is the right one? As I said, I speak or think from my soul and behavior, sorry for my English but you will understand what I mean.

Hi Damon Amanda, thanks for your review in this. I respect that and as I have seen that everyone is a fright to act. It is clear that people as you have here influences. I believe every word you said, on the other hand are there occasionally situations as meeting the pool (video) the single friendly elephants. The way the film shoot is done is it already to late to come closer. There most be an psychological item before such as, that the human clearly helps the elephant as trust to let hem drink of the pool. Or when he visited and move friendly the truck towards and where with open hand is given some food. After a while when the trust is there can at the same time tried to pet the trunk. Yes I’m in this to emotional because I think that every elephant has his own individual personality just as us. Wild is indeed wild but elephants are different than other wild animals. When I was there living, looks to me as an dream I’m sure that your defensive ideas are the right way to follow but on the other hand I’m sure that I take the risk in special situations to go closer. I’m was a child where mothers always worried. When I was 17 was it normal that I was Para Commando what I follow 3 years. I participated in operation Red Bean the Shaba - Congo May 1978. Note: I have seen video clips from people that has an farm and comes very close to the elephants. I believe that the men has recently passed through a natural death. To be clear, your advice is for 95% to follow up. Second note: Jeannette was my wife and died in 2008. I open middle 2000 this account for her and have said to Google that she most stay as remembering. My second account is: Luc Rik Vlaemynck & Mijn beste soulmate ever. I will be 60 this year, I do not think ever visiting Africa, perhaps when I met people with some influences and know how, who know I left Belgium for ever in the retirement time to lives into an wooden house near the nature without much humans around? Greetings Luc

@@jeannettemasialasungu9051 There are alternatives if You love elephants& want positive natural encounters with them. There are places, sanctuaries where You can have positive & safe contact with wild elephants. Positive for the elephants & You. Within reason. Mainly with Asian Elephants though that have been rescued from situations of unspeakable human cruelty & given a second chance to live as They would in the wild & form their own herds again but being protected & cared for by humans who respect the elephants enough to keep enough distance as to allow the elephants to roam all day with each other in huge areas of jungle, grass & river. The contact is limited so as not to stress the elephants by having new human hands feed them every day but if You choose to stay on & volunteer there for a few weeks or even months the more contact You get. The real sanctuaries that I know can 100% be trusted are 1.) Elephant Nature Park, Chaing Mai provence, Thailand (not to be confused with any of the fake operations that pretend their elephants have been rescued) Here You can assist in bathing the elephants, learn to give them their foot care & preparing their food & helping to feed them. You can even go down to the river with them when the elephants want to go & bathe them, cooling them down 2.) Wildlife SOS which is a little stricter again for the sakes of the stress the elephants have endured but You earn the elephant's trust over time gradually if You stay long enough as a volunteer 3.) David Sheldrick Trust. For African Elephants (mainly babies at the ivory orphanage) (almost always at a respected distance unless You're volunteering long term or have adopted one of the elephants - by sponsoring them.) Never ever go anywhere that offers elephant rides, elephant painting, where the mahouts use bull hooks or canes or where the elephants where chains. And never go to the circus or anywhere where the elephants perform tricks. The abuse They suffer is more violent than many Humans suffer in wars. The places I speak of rescue elephants from these industries & from the illegal logging industry & outside the temples where They suffer some of the most heinous abuse of all. I hope this helps. If You were sat by the pool long enough with the elephant accepting Your presence & if You stayed relatively long enough the elephant would come & sniff You. Sudden movements in such a short space of time would scare them & in the case of a gentle creature like this one. He would likely run away. In all truth it's better for the African wild elephant that You don't coax them into trusting You as trusting humans would be deadly for them especially a tusker like this one. Because if They trust You then, They'll become more trusting of all humans & too many Humans are bad People. It's healthier for the elephant to fear or simply resent Humans. The humans encroach on the elephant's territory more & more each day & too many of those who encroach are there for one reason only. To kill them for their ivory. I love elephants & have an instant emotional response to them like You do & I am guessing this one was a Young bull. Pretty passive & gentle but would likely be scared. It's more likely He'd approach You for a sniff rather than You approach Him in His territory. To think like an elephant, He doesn't see it as the human letting him drink for their pool on their resort because the pool & resort are in His territory. He is the one letting the humans stay & film Him, not the other way around & truly He is right. Hope this helps a bit more than just being told You can never do it :)

Jeanette - Pls remember the saying - “A fed animal is a dead animal”. Never feed a wild creature - ever. Anywhere. Your Actions would give it a Death Sentence and endanger other people.

@@WildlifeObsessed Yes because They have certain things that They eat & We shouldn't give them Human food. This is a very valid point. Unless We knew exactly which wild bushes were good for them to eat & really knew this for sure. I know Asian Elephants need to eat sticky rice balls & pineapple tops but African Elephants have a different diet. I think all elephants enjoy watermelon though but whether in the wild this applies is another thing

We like to explain the family tree so people understand the relations within the pride
