His eyes....what a beautiful, soulful face. Loving in the way he knows and understands. Through touch and closeness. Animals do understand when humans care...they return the love in their own way. Phabeni will know that love for his entire live. So happy the donations were a success...I did my small part. Sending love to everyone at HERD who plays their part. We love you all!
I had a Garfield poster when I was young. He cuddled his teddy bear in his sleep, and the dream balloon over his head showed him being cuddled by his teddy bear. Size tables might turn, but the love and the trust between the carers and Phabeni will remain.
Sweet, sweet baby. It’s so sad that he lost his mother but miraculous that he found his way to you and the rest of the team. You all are the perfect guardians.
So beautiful and touching! You just know how calming it must be for sweetie Phabeni to feel Adine's breathing and heartbeat while he lays beside her.❤ She will always be his human mom, just as she is to Khanyisa. What a wonderful feeling it must be to hold a baby elephant in your arms as he relaxes and sleeps. I know I'm not alone in being in awe and just a bit envious! Thank you Adine and ALL at HERD. 🐘🍼🐑🩵🦋🕊🇺🇲
@@lennarthagen3638I hope you can find some joy and purpose in your life. You don’t know anyones intention but assuming the worst, isn’t coming from a place of abundance. Sending you love and hope you find peace
That is the calmest, most relaxed and at peace elephant I've ever seen. And to think he was utterly terrified and fighting for his life only a couple of weeks ago.
It was horrid to see his fear as his - very well intending - adoptive human family shoved him into the orphanage. Now he knows that they only want the best for him.
Good filming! That was quite the effort for you! If that was me I would be so overwhelmed at little Phabeni showing love the only way he knows how. He feels comfortable enough with you and trusts you enough to go to sleep with his head resting on your chest. Maybe your heartbeat gives him comfort. What joy you must have felt!
Phabeni is so relaxed and peaceful with Adine. What a precious moment of bonding. The patience of Adine to get this feisty little guy to show this amount of trust is incredible. Love to you Phabeni….you have found you safe place 🐘💖🐘
This little guy is so happy to have a friend that loves and cares for him. He is so contented and peaceful much different from when he first came to the orphanage.
Adine! You are such a fabulous person. All these videos are wonderful. Blessings to all the carers at HERD. PHABENI is a special elephant. Please continue to send the videos.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how extraordinary this is? Regular viewers are familiar with Adine’s ability to bond with elephants, but it’s really exceptional and very moving ❤
You are absolutely right. Some of us knew this was inevitable but still marvel at the miracle of a wild baby Elephant - who only a few days back was storming everyone - totally relaxed in human arms. But this is no ordinary human. ......... 🩵🐘🤫😴😴🩵
This little Elephant is very sweet and I hope he will have a very happy life . The warrior turned into a Sweet Cuddle with warm eyes. Elephants have a good soul and especially the little ones are very cute 😊🐘🤗
To see this beautiful boy Phabeni go from the boisterous and feisty anxious state to this relaxed and trusting baby is so beautiful and heartwarming. It just shows how these beautiful creatures are loved and cared for. They finally realize they're safe and in a good place. This is beautiful. Thank you Adine and carers for doing such amazing work. 🙏❤️
I agree. The last video I saw of Phabeni, he didn’t seem to be that excited about being handled by Adine so I’m glad that he settled down and loving to be touched by her. I envy the ability to do that because I love elephants so much. This little guy, for however, long, he was alone, was very smart and courageous and took care of himself and now he can sleep and not be worried about some something attacking him, and I am so grateful that he has made it to The Herd.❤❤
@@kfl611Óla 👋 Totally agree one thousand percent ; same for me, it completely exceeds me, it is enough to have eyes to realize and see they have 👋🐘💕
@@Edith.DC. I always figured, they are so social and have such big brains, I'm sure there is a lot going on that we are totally unaware of, in side that big brain. Just like whales, you know with a brain that big, it must be doing a lot of processing of all kinds.
What more can anyone think or say watching the both of you fall in love more and more each day. He is on his way of realizing how great he will become in life.
I am glad he is receiving a lot of love as elephants grieve like humans do and losing his mum would be very traumatising but he is is a safe loving place where he can recover and be happy once again
Phabeni is one lucky little baby elephant. He is in the right place with the entire staff of HERD and his human Mama, Adine. And a huge thank you goes to the women who found him wandering alone in her backyard who had the fortitude to make sure that he was saved and placed in this special place called HERD.
Yes, Susan and Jan, you're absolutely right. I hope one day soon we'll get word that that dear hearted lady knows how much we HERD subscribers respect, admire and thank her for her tenacity in getting help for this precious little guy. She ROCKS!!
I believe seeing Adine with Phabeni shows her true intentions. Elephants are smart and know if danger is near and it did not take her long to gain the trust of this lil man along with past orphans. Its absolutely amazing and shows Adine’s true colors. She commented yesterday that she believes that we do not pick the elephants its them who pick us and Phabeni knew he picked a safe haven coming to stay with the HERD. THANK YOU ALL!!! Its so beautiful!!!
There is a reason, some elephants who were raised and helped by sanctuaries, that once they go back to the wild, come back to the sanctuaries and show their human parents and care givers - their children and grandchildren, to share their love and respect to the humans who cared for them and I think maybe a little to brag to the humans, to say 'look, here is my wonderful child', just like humans tend to brag and show off their prodigy.
I'm so grateful for the woman who discovered him in the village and took her stand to protect him against those who wanted to shoot Phabeni! If you ever see her again, please thank her on behalf of all of us!💞💖💕
Oh, yes. What a good woman.❤❤❤ God bless her. I can't even imagine that the authorities wanted to kill that precious creature. Thank you to all his saviors.
It is a credit to Adine and her team, the love and care they give to this little baby, that in such a short time he is happy to go to sleep cuddling with Adine. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Precious, precious. I know you must have cherished these moments few people have ever experienced. When you think of how many of these angels have been slaughtered…. We all need to come together to protect Phabeni.
Such wonderful indications of trust and comfort. You can see it in his eyes. Then he is so comfortable and comforted that he chooses to sleep with you. Sweet baby.
Lovely video. Phabeni is finding his home & loved ones again. Thank you to EVERYONE who donated, who is saving to donate next year, who spread the word. Bless you for your kindness & generosity!!!
Dear Adine, Beautiful Soul, so Extraordinary and , YES , I am touched like many others people. Phlabeni needs a mother and you are his human mother .. Love Love Love ! Blessings and Thank You to all your Team xxx ! Kisses also Phlabeni ! xoxoxo 😘😘👼👼🌈🌈💕💕🎂🎂
🫶This is so heartwarming. 💟Phabeni, feels secured and confident, in his human Mum and all those around him, who go the extra mile, to ensure his well being, is the top priority 🐘🥰💞
Divine Mother is so Beautifully moving through you to Comfort and Heal this Beloved One. He is so feeling your Loving Kindness and Compassion. In Gratitude for this Love raises the Love across the Earth. 🙏🎁🐘💛💫🌍🌈💚
This is incredible! He actually fell asleep. Like a small child...a small, 200 pound, child.
What a beautiful moment. The safety and security that little elephant is feeling is so lovely to observe.
Cuddles and touches are healthy - for human and elephant babies. ❤
Peace, love and no more fear, this angel is blessed as are we to be part of the journey ❤️
His eyes are getting heavy like a baby when the mother strokes him! How lovely! How touching!

❤😘❤🐘❤ He's precious❤❤❤
Did you see Khanyisa sneak over to the nursery to have a peek at all the activity? They are so like us in their emotions.
Absolutely. I love his eyes, too. They have real depth.
Yes 💖
My part was small too. I wish I wasn't so poor so I could do more, but I'm hoping all of us together can help HERD do the miracles that they do 💖
This may prove a lbit more difficult when he grows up. But it's nice to see this little elephant getting love and comfort.
I had a Garfield poster when I was young. He cuddled his teddy bear in his sleep,
and the dream balloon over his head showed him being cuddled by his teddy bear.
Size tables might turn, but the love and the trust between the carers and Phabeni will remain.
Sweet, sweet baby. It’s so sad that he lost his mother but miraculous that he found his way to you and the rest of the team. You all are the perfect guardians.
It’s a wondrous thing to be loved by elephants.
Once in a lifetime. How many people in the world can claim they cuddled a baby elephant?
Precious baby boy is in loving hands and he knows&feels it...still so young and emotionally vulnerable. ❤❤❤
I'm glad that little baby is getting souch affection.
A person forgets that, when all is said, this little elephant is a baby, so very distraught when first at HERD and now coming in for cuddles ♥
So beautiful & peaceful. This is exactly how love between humans and animals should be. Gently, bonding and trusting.❤
He needed that special mommy touch
So beautiful and touching! You just know how calming it must be for sweetie Phabeni to feel Adine's breathing and heartbeat while he lays beside her.❤ She will always be his human mom, just as she is to Khanyisa.

Thank you so very much for sharing
Thank you! You as well…
She cares more about views then the elephants
@@lennarthagen3638I hope you can find some joy and purpose in your life. You don’t know anyones intention but assuming the worst, isn’t coming from a place of abundance. Sending you love and hope you find peace
Just so heartwarming to see that baby so relaxed ❤❤❤
That is the calmest, most relaxed and at peace elephant I've ever seen. And to think he was utterly terrified and fighting for his life only a couple of weeks ago.
It's incredible isn't it? And Beautiful 💙🐘🙏
It is truly incredible what love and do.
It was horrid to see his fear as his - very well intending - adoptive human family

He feels comfortable enough with you and trusts you enough to go to sleep with his head resting on your chest. Maybe your heartbeat gives him comfort. What joy you must have felt!
Priceless every second of it to think how he was so kind of scared and running around at first now he’s totally relaxed
I know others have noticed it too, but Phabeni has really unique, pretty eyes!
He is so precious 💕 full of love and affection ❤
So peaceful. Little Phabeni needs the quietness and ease of Adine's gentleness.
Love between a woman and a baby elephant is precious and forever 💕 love from California ❤
And to see the love already that baby is getting from a human. Is amazing!
Phabeni is so relaxed and peaceful with Adine. What a precious moment of bonding. The patience of Adine to get this feisty little guy to show this amount of trust is incredible. Love to you Phabeni….you have found you safe place 🐘💖🐘
Adine is truly remarkable.
That's one of the most precious things I've ever seen.
Another baby to love. Khanyisa will be a wonderful sister .❤
About the cutest lil guys in the entire animal kingdom.
The roundness of baby elephants' heads triggers my mothering impulses
just like the roundness of human babies' heads does.
Did you notice the contentment in his eyes? ♥️
Adine he feels the love you provide. He is in need of so much love. Bless you for all you do .
Animals are us. Just in different shape and form.
This little guy is so happy to have a friend that loves and cares for him. He is so contented and peaceful much different from when he first came to the orphanage.
Imagine all that flowing serotonin; what a happy spoiled baby; all his woes behind him. Thank you to all his caretakers.
♥💕 So this is what the saying" I feel like I have an Elephant on my chest" looks like. ❤
Oh he is just so very precious! He actually looks "snuggly"!! I never thought of an elephant as snuggly!
What a sweet guy, Loving his new momma, he's gonna be a smart one, he feels his mothers soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like he’s really starting to bond with you.
Adine! You are such a fabulous person. All these videos are wonderful. Blessings to all the carers at HERD. PHABENI is a special elephant. Please continue to send the videos.
This moment you and the baby will remember the rest of your life. 💕
Adine,no human on earth can provide such love to a rescued orphan,God bless
Phabeni is smiling 😊
The most precious and incredible thing I have ever seen!
What heaven is this ? They must be protected at al cost !
Our sweet boy is really thriving! 💙
I think he has made his bed for the night. So beautiful ❤
Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how extraordinary this is? Regular viewers are familiar with Adine’s ability to bond with elephants, but it’s really exceptional and very moving ❤
Yesss! He felt so safe, so secure and comfortable, that he went to sleep! I think that it now comes naturally to Adine, elephant mommy.❤
You are absolutely right. Some of us knew this was inevitable but still marvel at the miracle of a wild baby Elephant - who only a few days back was storming everyone - totally relaxed in human arms. But this is no ordinary human. ......... 🩵🐘🤫😴😴🩵
AMEN to all your comments!

You see! Love conquers all 🥰🥰🥰
This little Elephant is very sweet and I hope he will have a very happy life . The warrior turned into a Sweet Cuddle with warm eyes. Elephants have a good soul and especially the little ones are very cute 😊🐘🤗

That’s too adorable to see. I’m in tears. What a magnificent team you guys are, love to all at The Herd❤
He's happy as a clam 😍😍❤❤❤
Hi Adine, it hasn't taken Phabeni long to fall in love!! Great stuff!!🐘🐘❤️❤️😀😀
Adine was stuck she was going to be stuck there until that baby woke up there so so sweet
What more can anyone think or say watching the both of you fall in love more and more each day. He is on his way of realizing how great he will become in life.
The love you ae giving him will heal him faster than anything!
So true! Powerful nurturing -- endorphin-producing touch, bolsters his immune system, as well... 💞 🐘 💞
Letting a baby elephant sleep right on top of you = pure love.🥰
Phabeni is loving his forehead stroking. He´s going all googly-eyed. Our dog does that!
The power of LOVE AND TRUST.
Oh, this is so beautiful. He is so peaceful, and trusting now.
What a cuddle bug!! This baby knows he is safe, secure and loved by a momma. Thank you for sharing this precious moment with baby Phabini.
Oh my goodness, he just laid his head and maybe more right down on to you and fell asleep. ❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t know who’s loving it more, Phabeni or Adine. 😊
🐘 WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT !!!!.....TO SEE ONE OF GOD'S CREATURES FIND SOLACE IN THE ARMS OF A HUMAN BEING....❤😎🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Wow , this is so precious. He is falling asleep on you. All I can say again is WOW.
How else do you describe LOVE that comforts like this ❤
Phabeni has come a long way with you, Adine! You have the touch. What fun to watch!
I have been worried, less so now seeing Adine work her magic.
Such a PRECIOUS BABY!! I pray he continues to thrive and grow! ❤🙏
I am glad he is receiving a lot of love as elephants grieve like humans do and losing his mum would be very traumatising but he is is a safe loving place where he can recover and be happy once again
