    Always have such concern for the elephants. Wishing they could all be safe from the dangers they face. They are truly magnificent creatures, should be cherished and protected. Thank goodness for people like Adine and the carers.

      Love your post. ❤ Thank you.
      It feels as if my heart has grown in the years I've been following HERD and learning about the macro of elephant consciousness by getting to know this relatively small herd of about 17.
      Leave it to Adine: she's even taught me to care about dung beetles. 😂

      We are all part of the web of life.Whether greater or smallest we have a role, and should never disturb or damage other lives if possible. Too often we don't realize until much later the damage that was caused. For instance look at the invasive big headed ant wiping out the Acacia ant that has caused lion to change it's prey species. I have seen first hand the damage that invasive species cause both plants and animals.
      I hope that HERD continues to be successful. ❤🙏

    These animals are all so precious. It’s amazing how they surround you without even being noticed. We experienced that in Sabi Sands/SA. A herd of around 15 individuals approached us without any aggression or tension. The matriarch was extremely relaxed although they had 3 baby ellies. We simply did not hear them coming until they were right around us. It is an experience of a life time to come so close to them.

Also very interesting how young wild bulls that aren’t part of a herd.. stay around other herds but don’t bred with them. It’s all -SO-interesting. Thank you again.. so much for filming all these episodes ! 👍👌👍❤️🌷

  • @anneterry3660
    @anneterry3660 Рік тому +32

    More and more studies are coming to light as to the important of elephants for seed dispersal, spreading of nutrients, recycling of nutrients (think of the dung beetle, everything returned to the soil), with differences of plant dispersal and regeneration different among African and Asian elephants. "African forest elephants are known as "mega-gardeners of the forest", because of their ability to boost carbon stocks and disperse vital nutrients.". The turnover of soil and plants is followed by bird and reptile insect eaters. Elephants are considered to prune many plants and tress stimulating new growth.

    Indeed it is amazing how easily elephants can be hidden by the vegetation even when you are quite close to them. My friend and I were in a very similar setting with a single bull elephant farther off the road than any of these - we had stopped the car and were watching him forage just like this. My friend took out his camera. The sound of him taking a photo [it was a film camera] made the elephant upset - he trumpeted and charged the vehicle. It was a "bluff" charge, but quite terrifying. You really can't be too respectful of elephants - you have no idea what experiences they have had in the past with humans. Adine is so fortunate to be able to have these encounters with wild elephants and she is intimately aware of their body language and behavior. It's wonderful to see them eating the lush grasses after the rains.

The cow is absolutely beautiful and the young bull is quite handsome thank you Adine for sharing the utter majesty of the creatures you share space with every day South Africa definitely seems to be a place unlike anywhere else on earth perhaps one day I’ll get to visit Kapama and experience this paradise in person HERDS videos are absolute gems for those of us who don’t have the opportunity as of yet,so grateful for them and all of you.💚🐘🩷🥹🌳🤗
