    When I saw the blanket flying from Zindoga's trunk I laughed so much! Sooo adorable and mischievous! Zindoga is very smart, when he saw Tigere come his way he knew he wasn't supposed to have the blanket!!! I love how Adine greets sweet little Khanyisa🤗❤😘

    Hehehehe, Zindoga looked a little happy with himself for making the 'snatch and run' with the blanket.. So cute!! He was smart enough to realise the game was up when Tigere was in hot pursuit tho... Just adorable to watch, as always, thanks for sharing these moments.. :)

    All of the elephants are wondering, “Why does our baby have a zebra on her back?” Zindoga says, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

    That made me laugh seeing Zindoga get Khanyisa's blanket and walk off with it as if to say:
    "You don't need this blanket....I toss it, Ah ha!"

    I smiled, @ 0:20 we first see a trunk stretch out from the stable. At about 0:22 we see a bright big blue eye following. And @ 0:24 we see what seems to be the biggest smile peep out of her stable! What a precious cute sweetheart! It's simply amazing to see how she works her trunk to get just the right hold on it before she puts it in her mouth (@ 2:36). Then scratching her ear. She's so darn cute! Look at that sun in the background, Oh My Gosh! And you really get to see the size and compare with the camera view of Adine walking behind them. I'm still amazed at their size. Such gentle giants! Just like my favorite horses, any draft. And even with all of the 'All-Mothers', Khanyisa still seems to know who her adoptive Mother is. Oh how I chuckled! Zindoga is such a character! I'm still chuckling. Maybe he's not too fond of Zebra's! ha-ha

The Ellies hear the calls from the crew and obey immediately knowing that it is better to have some space in between! It looked like Tokwe and Little Miss K had a little communication moment which I thought very sweet! It made me feel proud to watch them all and Little Miss K with her ''Go Faster Stripes" Just adorable! It just struck me how huge Fishan is! Wow! And Zindoga has a sense of humour it seems, I am sure Khanysia was glad to have it back!

    Sweet how the elephants gather around Tigere as he works to put the blanket back on Khanyisa, it seems he's a member of their herd as far as they're concerned. They certainly know he's there to help them & his affection for them is obvious. But such hard work that all must be, every single day. Khensani, Tigere & Adine, you all amaze me w/ the depth of your devotion to these animals & conservation in general.

    This was just wonderful to watch a morning unfold in Hoedspruit (Hats Sprouting) South Africa, from my morning in Northern Calfornia. I can smell the bush wild scents, the ellies musky smells, watch how people and ellies interact so peacefully. What a garden of Eden you have created, Adine and Staff! How lovely the world seems in its natural simplicity and zen of the moment. As my cup of coffee steam curls through the morning chill, so do the elephants breaths. The sound of human shoes crunching on dry grass, the sound of gentle heavy ellie feet landing with sureness on the earth, and no artificial music overlay, is sheer bliss. You have brought South Africa to us. Thank you for your incredible work with elephants. I applaud your efforts.

      Cat, I have found a lot of comfort in a few verses in the Bible. Many don't read it. But it is very specific about the times we are living right now. 2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 1-5 tell us what the world conditions would be in our time, the last days. It starts by saying we would live in critical times hard to deal with. And lists all the bad traits that would be so prevalent. Many other verses in Matthew 24, Luke 21. Daniel 2:44. But Psalms 37:10,11, 29 and Revelation 21:3-5 give us comfort of the near future. Stay strong.

      I was curious about that, too, so I typed Hoedspruit, South Africa into my weather app. Nights are much colder than days, so early morning is one of the chilliest times. It doesn't look that cold to me compared to where I live, but I'm sure for Africa it's cold!

    It actually might help to turn off the warming lamps in the nursery a bit ahead of when it time for her to go. If there is not a great difference in temperature between inside and outside, then she is less likely to have to pick between a warm place she would rather stay and the colder outdoors. Doing this may also help her body get used to better regulating her temperature as after she walks up in her warm nursey and then the nursery cools off when the heat is removed slowly and makes it easier for her body to slowly ramp up making her body temperature adjust as the temperature slowly falls in the nursery. Then when its time to tale her out she has adjusted to the temperature over the time the nursery was cooling down and going outside is not a sudden thing she has to get used to all of a sudden. This is actually something that we do with any young cattle that stays in over night and is used to a warm barn because they cannot tale the very cold nights, but come morning we turn off the heaters around the time they are starting to wake and eating in the early morning, and by the time the are ready to go out to graze for the day inside and outside is the same temperature and their bodies have adjusted to it. Doing this so they can gradually adjust to a change in temperature rather than step from one warm spot out into the cold has also alleviated issues with respiratory issues during cold weather as they systems are not shocked with a sudden change.

      Especially in the sunrise and sunset hours, it can be cooler, and at night, it can become so cold that might need some long pants and a fuzzy jacket on, when outside. Also, South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc in the Southern countries can get some good cooling breeze coming in from the surrounding ocean.

    `I’m little but not silly, Adine; it’s very cold outside!’ Love when she has part of her body in & part out; not even treats worked that well. The smell/sight of her herd made things better, I think.☺️ - Who stole the show with his antics was Zindoga, from the moment he boldly stole ‘our’ baby’s blanket & played with it, to the moment he let it go I laughed.

    This was really a fun video. First Khanysia not wanting to come out in the cold. Everyone being very patient and letting her set the tone and time. Then Zindoga. What can I say about him? He was extremely cheeky, stealing Khanysia's blanket. He is like the big brother picking on the little sister. We will have to wait and see what happens when she is all grown up. If he continues to pick on her, she is likely to give him his comeuppance when she is bigger. After all elephants don't forget. She will be coming for you one day. LOL🐘🐘🐘🐘
