    The way the herd constantly shadows Khanyisa with the lion close by keeping her near them at all times is beautiful their level of love devotion and protection for little Meisekind is priceless. Elephants are amazing creatures who are so genuine and kind family is everything to them especially this incredible herd.❤️❤️🐘🐘

      Le lion ne s’approchera jamais d’un troupeau d’éléphants constitué d’adultes , il attaque que les vieux solitaires ou les éléphanteaux éloignés de leur troupeau. De plus avec les humains à-côté, aucune chance pour lui de manger de l’éléphant 👍👌🤣😁🤣🤣🤭

    The interaction between Fishan and Mambo is very important! It establishes hierarchy and teaches the younger bulls about appropriate bull behavior. Without it, young bulls run amok.
    The interaction between the females and Khanyisa is the function of any cohesive herd. Putting the younger members in the middle, protecting them from threats or perceived threats helps to insure their safety and the continuity of the bloodline. It is especially remarkable here because the bond has been created by the elephants themselves instead of growing organically out of established blood relationships. It's beautiful and miraculous. It speaks to the loving and compassionate nature of elephants, and should be an example to us human beings!

    When we visited HERD in July, we distinctly heard lions roaring loudly in the distance. They sounded close by! We guests asked the Carers what they do when the lions come near them and we were told that the bulls and other adult elephants wouldn’t allow any lions to get close to the herd or the humans. Even though the sounds of the lions were frightening, those words from Willington made me - a city girl from Brooklyn, NY, wholly unaccustomed to the sound of lions near me - feel comfortable. Go figure.

But we're ready even though we're snacking. Little Khanyisa is very brave to try walking around in that situation. But then again, she knows there's plenty of hugh protection if needed. ❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤

There are so many videos where a stressful event occured and individual elephants would approach Adine or other carers to be assured that the humans were ok. The herd reacted quite strongly when they sensed an injury on Adine's knee. It somehow passed non-verbally to the rest and one by one they gathered around her.

    I'm wondering if this was kind of like a yellow alert. Like they weren't in full on defense mode, but were being extremely wary so as not to be caught off guard. Because they aren't doing the full circle thing, and they continue to eat.
    I could, of course, be anthropomorphizing, or not seeing just how stressed they are ...
    It's fascinating though to think that they respond so specifically to levels of threat. Another example, imho, of their intelligence, which very much seems to rival, if not surpass humans. Certainly their emotional intelligence is higher than ours. They understand how stupid and harmful violence is. And the way they look after the babies and youngsters ... a lot of humans could learn from them.
