The Scent of a Lion Causes the Female Elephants to Gather Around the Baby in the Herd - Khanyisa 💓

- We catch up with the herd during their walk in the wilderness - starting with Khanyisa and Timisa! Khanyisa engages her sister playmate in a mini sparring session, since she can never get enough of the only other elephant closest to her own size. The two youngsters have had a sweet and playful bond from the beginning of Khanyisa’s integration.
Then we learn about Mambo’s new injury! The bull is clearly causing some havoc among his herd - and this time with Fishan, who stepped in to chase the young bull, giving Mambo a wound on his rear. This would likely be either a form of discipline - Fishan telling Mambo off and making his step back in line - for the well-being of the overall herd, or it could be a matter of hierarchy.
Mambo is asserting his independence more and more and trying to gain authority in his herd, among the bulls and cows. Fishan is in third position among the bulls and may have needed to remind Mambo of this.
Then we have a lion in the vicinity! Fortunately the herd avoid a run-in but they do huddle around Khanyisa - with all the females gathering together, as protection should the scent of the big cat waft closer as the lion moves.
It’s hard to see wildlife in the bush and often requires an eagle eye. Our team communicate through radios but the elephants know a lion is near thanks to their incredible sense of smell and sound.
Tokwe is especially attentive and Sebakwe not at all attentive in this scenario! Watch the video for more!
Family protection and closing ranks is always so impressive.
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.❤️❤️🐘🐘
Sono molto d'accordo con te cara Shannon,si vede che conosci col cuore ❤️ glielefanti,li ADORI
So well put ❤️❤️🤣
So wonderful 💖
If only humans cared for each other the way these beautiful ellies do. 😍
I would think a lone lion would be suicidal getting too close to a herd of ellies.
The way the herd pulls together for the safety of the calf is so amazing they have such good souls I think that’s why I love them so much thank you for sharing with us
I agree completely! These elephants could teach many humans how to work together and protect their youngsters!
Most animals will protect their offspring.
@@pamcollins1651 but they dont.
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 👍👌🤣😁🤣🤣🤭
I love the way elephants look after the babies so much 🥰 they are the best
Khanyisa sparring with her sister is so funny.
Doesn't leave her alone 😁so playful
Love when the adults protect the younger ones 💕🏴
It’s always so fascinating to watch these majestic elephants in the wild; though they’re protected; thank goodness for that. 💕🐘💕🐘💕
If only humans could smell predators! I didn't have a great childhood, so watching how loving they are with the youngins and even the injured, like Fishan, is so wonderful to see. It's watching love in motion🌻
yep, soak it up. God bless 😀
Trump is a predator!!!😁
"Love in motion," sums up the elephants beautifully.
Yes. It makes us feel safe, just watching them!
Happy little Khanyisa always just bumbles along, confident that her elephant and human family will keep her safe. And they do. 💖
What an incredible team of 🐘 and humans!!! They have a plan and they are sticking to it. The lion 🦁 had better stay away. The herd will not put up with the lions Shenanigans! 😁
The love they share among themselves and their human relatives is so beautiful, brought me to tears.
Not even a demented lion would take on a herd of elephants.
It appears to be automatic for the adults to step in to protect the calfs when danger is lurking. It's a beautiful thing to watch every time. Thanks Adine.
In my next life I want to be born into a herd family. They are so caring and loving and protective of one another. ❤️
They’re really on the ball! So quick to smell danger and rally around Khanyisa! Incredible intuitive beings.
It is exciting to learn how elephants navigate their surroundings. There is so much going on, that we neither see or hear. Thank you for sharing another life in the day of the herd.💝🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘💝
This Herd of elephants never cease to amaze me. They have such a keen sense of smell. Such a family bond and How caring they are towards one another and keeping themselves as well as their human family. Khaynisa is always in a play mood when Timisa is around. Thank you for another insightful video.❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
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!
I always knew that the herd would protect the young ones but it's good to know they would protect the humans of their herd also. I love watching these videos about this amazing herd. You all do great work!!
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.
Despite the fact elephants will chase the Impala, I believe they find a certain amount of safety in amongst our majestic gentle giants. I would not want to be on the herds radar:) I am humbled by the sheer deep love these elephants have for one another
Have you ever had a real lion encounter? I'll never forget that video of Khanyisa, finding that she was all alone after Mambo wandered off. Her tiny little trumpets amassed the whole herd to come to her aid 🐘 💕
It's amazing to me how the elephants keep eating even while there is a threat. They seem rather calm as if to say, that lion knows better then to come near us! 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. ❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤
I don't understand how the elephants eat those really spikey branches. That's got to hurt!
So beautiful to watch the big herd protecting Khanyisa. This is true love, protection and sense of responsibility.
On a side note, I’d like to ask whoever uploads your videos to not forget to put Captions ON. It helps a lot viewers not-English speakers.
Have a great weekend, Herd friends. 💕🐘💕
Grazie cara Buba,io sono una di quelle....🤔😮💨
@@vivianaiacomelli3080 👍🏼😅😉
Brilliant filming today. I have been engrossed with the elephants and beautiful surroundings I naively didn't think once about lions or leopards.. you've done so very well feeding and caring for khanyisa she's putting on weight.
I keep thinking of the last film with Jabulani protecting the HERD and then coming to check you were all OK too 💜💙💚💫
Beautiful always protecting each other xo❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Humans could learn a lot from Elephants... love and protect each other as if they were all your family! 🐘❤
I love that Timisa is so ever patient to put up with Khanyisa's playfulness. That's so sweet.
How do I love thee... Let me count the ways. As usual, I am impressed by the way the elephants not only protect Khanyisa and Timisa, but also, you. AND, possibly peripherally, the Impala who always seem to be reasonably close by joining in Reindeer games with Mambo... 😁🥰
The impala are bolder than I expected. They're relaxed not just by the elephants but the humans close by. And this bunch of elephants isn't too impala friendly.
I love how the herd just care for each other so immensely, and everybody just rallies around little khanyisa, that's how family should be. Yeah those Impala look kinda nervous too.
Beautiful impala
💜💞💜💞💜💞💜
Love the elephant education ! Thank You HERD 💛👍🏻
Humans can learn so much from elephants. I so love to watch them take care of the young ones.
Gracias ADINE por relatar muy claro acerca del comportamiento de todos los Elefantes en la manada de JABULANI,el cuidado y la protección para la pequeña KHANYISA 🐘 es muy portante ellos si que saben cuidar a sus bebés pero también dependen de la protección y cuidados de las personas porque ya están educados y viven en el Orfanato Saludo para ustedes allá en SurAfrica 🇿🇦 desde La República de Colombia 🇨🇴 en Suramérica
🙏
So very beautiful to see the devotion of protection among the herd, especially with Khanyisa and younger elephants. Humans could certainly take some lessons from these amazing gentle giants! Sure love watching these🧡🥰🧡🐘🥰
Princess Khanyisa is very well protected from predators, with the herd around, thankfully as she's got more adventures to do 🐘🐘💖👋
I bet the poor Impala wish they could gather around the elephants too. 😒
The ellies carry that special bonding. Especially about babies. They just have something special all around. Family oriented for sure. Magnificent giants. Very intelligent as well. Love ellies. ❤️
Could be the impalas feel safer foraging close to the elephants too.
If I was an Impala, Zebra or a giraffe I would be hanging around elephants all of the time 😅.
I feel for the impalas.The elephants are alerted but the impalas are a more likely target. Scary! Luckily they can run like the wind. Silly Khanyisa wandering off in spite of the danger. I think if the herd had a higher level of agitation she would have responded differently. These are my elephant thoughts for today.😉❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
So admire their strong sense of family...
Their humans are accepted as part of the herd and even approach them - and they do listen to them when the humans calm them down. 🐘🐘🌱
I love that Khanyisa is so protected and that the elephants are so much bigger than the lions.❤️🐘. Mambo the rebellious teenager. I hope all plays out well in that regard.
I send my love to my beautiful African elephants friends,God bless the African elephant herb everyday.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌏
Even the impala had their ears and heads up. Still odd to see the power towers in the background. Makes me think there is no true bush country any more. Always love watching this family. Never disappointed. 😍🇺🇸
Always wondered about the staff safety when they are out in the wild and see a lion...but they don't seem to be concerned not sure why
What a sense of security the Herd elephants provide for both the young elephants and the human carers. Elephants have so much to offer to their own species and to humans as well.
Excellent grapevine communication between humans and elephants. No one was hurt.
Excellent footage + info. Loved that Fishan left his mark on Mambo. Way to go, Fish! Also enjoyed seeing the antelope at the end...Beautiful day in the reserve! TY for sharing! 🐘😍💞
Здравствуйте и сегодня !!! Так привыкла смотреть красавцев каждый день, радуюсь 😂 😂 каждой встрече с ними💕💖👍🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
So admire their strong sense of family..
Safe baby Khanyisa 🤗
Amazing families, elephants and human❤️
What a wonderful sense of smell they must have!
Our brave little meisiekind, forging ahead of her adult family members! And 617 kilograms! Darling Khanyisa, what a success story you are thanks to HERD!
💛
... I'm Always Learning Something New...Everytime I Watch "HERD" Videos ...👍👌🥰💋
Poor Mambo. Hope he heals.
magnificent animals these elephants.
Is it silly to wish for a world where there are no predators or prey? Knowing how anxious the elephants feel when a lion is near makes me anxious for them. I realize that is just the way things are, but, I wish it were not so. In the meantime, I am comforted to know they protect each other as best they can.
No it’s not silly at all it’s a natural caring feeling of empathy concern for the elephants, I too wish that there were no predators.
African Elephant Family Movie
Such remarkable instincts, so great!
Love to see Khanyisa so we'll protected. ❤️🐘
💛🇪🇺🇺🇦💙
Moc hezký pohled na sloní rodinku gratulujeme mnohokrát krásné ❤️❤️❤️🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍👍👍👍👍
What help does the caregiver have with them, if there is lion danger?
She's getting so big :)
🙊 Mambo. I would have loved for video to have caught that Fishan encounter.
Soooo protective of Khanyisa and Adine and Co, beautiful 🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰xx
Terrific!
I love watching them!❤
that is a good herd
💞💗Two points; an attempt to penetrate this defence is futile. The herds loyal protection and sense of duty, is immeasurable 🌾🐘🌿🐘
I can remember when the baby was about 300 lbs
If a lion did get too close to the herd, what would the human herd do?
They also get protection from the herd 🏴
Si tantissima protezione,gli elefanti di Herd non permetteranno mai ad un unico leone di avvicinarsi ai loro salvatori carer Adine e figli.
Does streaming give off an odour in order for other elephants to notice?
Hi khanisa ❤️ hi all of you 🍀🍀🍀
so clever - they know how to keep tracks of everybody
This was cool to see .
I learn so much from these video's. I wish to thank you for taking the time to make and post these video's. Your an angel sent from heaven. God bless you. Stay safe, and alert among the Elephant's, they need you
The Impala 👀👀👀
Such a wonderful sight to see. 💜💜
🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Thank you HERD
Does Mambo's wound need to be treated? Sabakwe doesn't look like he is to be annoyed much less challenged.
Beautiful. If only these were like 1 hr long videos haha. Just love them so much. You guys truly live a blessed life doing what you do!
Bratty little siblings 🥰
Will Mambo need his own herd
Wow! That's a lot of impalas! Glad the Herd didn't come into contact with the big cat especially with little Miss being her usual independent self. I guess she doesn't feel worried as Mama Tokwe is right there with her 🥰 Hope Mambo's butt injury doesn't hurt too much, can't be easy finding his position in the Herd as he gets older, all part of life ❤️🐘❤️
Thankyou for sharing.
The humans here are on foot, even tho there can be a lion nearby 🤔
So beautiful and a treat to see the impalas too.
Admiro profundamente y aprendo de los elefantes.
🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜
In the African bush observing the elephants behavior would my first go to vanguard for approaching danger.
Will they protect you?
Yes they protect the carers and Adine they think of them as part of their herd their family.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Fish IS the man...Okay! Mambo is such a naughty boy. Didn't he run off last year overnight, typical young man. 🐘🐘🐘😲🦁
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Love you all❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
