Yes! They are amazing in their devotion and love for each one of the herd. I was so moved hearing Tigere talking about how much he missed the elephants in his two years away before he could get back to them. Imagining a world where everyone cared about all living things this way. Blessings to you. Paz y luz to all 💫 🇸🇿🌍🌿🦏🐘🍼🐑🩵
This is the result of years & years of commitment, dedication, unconditional love, hard physical work, attention to details, fund raising, budgeting, communication with the community and dozens of other people behind the scene who quietly support this group. The Rangers, the Vets, Jabulani Lodge, Women of Jabulani and more more more. Adine, your leadership is exemplary. ❤😊I love you and ALL of HERD! ❤Thank you ALL, ALL, ALL!
Phabeni is like a playful little puppy on the floor of his stall. Adine has that beautiful motherly heart caring for each elle, and each carer. No wonder this is my first stop each morning to start the day with a smile. God bless!!❤
Phabeni seems to be a very affectionate baby who loves cuddles, kisses, scratching his body against another, and leaning his frame against anyone. He seems to love being touched. And I love that Timisa and Khanyisa seem to be taking a little bit more interest to being big sisters to him.I really love the love and acceptance all of the elephants are giving him.❤🐘❤
My favorite HERD never disappoints me, always being so careful and loving when they adopt a new baby. Thanks to Adine and all the carers for making this possible. You are amazing!!!!🥰🍀🐘🌟♥️
The devotion, bonding, and love expressed by the group members is special as is the devotion, bonding, and love shown by all the carers. Your unselfish deeds are not overlooked...
Khanyisa seemed more protective of Phabeni today! He looked so tiny among all the legs of the Herd trying to shield him from the rain! 🌧️☔ Scary at times, but all is well. Phabeni is so cute, always wanting to get onto Adine's lap! Wonderful to see him so happy and healthy! Thanks Adine and all the carers! Take care! 💜🐘🐑🐑💙🙏🌧️🌱💚
It is a beautiful sight seeing the elephant's accepting Phabeni. Although Khanyisa will always have a special place in my heart, as she was the little Ellie that led me to the herd. But, Phabeni is a little cutie. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Phabeni shows the unmistakable signs of a baby fighting sleep! Even the Adine lullaby couldn’t offset the stimulation Seuntjie experienced in a rainstorm under a million elephants! I can’t believe he was able to slip under Timisa! Personally, I would love a Jabulani “umbrella” to keep me dry! ☔️ 🐘 💋🫶
I love how the young females take on the protective roll. It is so good for the herd in whole to have a baby around, it helps Khanyisa and Timisa learn. Little Phabeni knows how to communicate for sure! Thank you Adine for being there to play with him. Such an important part of his growth and development!❤️🐘
What an amazing community of HERD lovers here. We're all rooting for elephants around the world and so grateful to get to know these 18 close up. How fantastic to see the collective watch of the carers, too. It's hard work. Mighty gratitude and admiration. Plus ~ today was a true milestone for Khanyisa: what joy to see her accomodate the new arrival into the group. Brava, chica! Paz y luz to all 💫 🇸🇿🌍🌿🦋🍼🐘🐑🩵 PS So happy Spottie came to HERD! It's good for him, Lammie & tiny Phabeni. ❤
The herd is embracing Phabeni so beautifully… although when did they ever not do that for any newcomer! They are such an exemplary model of adaptation, resilience, and lots and lots of love and acceptance. ❤
That's what I was thinking. I knew that they would welcome the baby with open arms. Because they're so loving and good with every new member. Such incredible beings.
Actually, so different than humans. Much more quietly intuitive and patient to use human words to describe. But, elephants have their own detailed way of being that there is no words to describe.
Have noticed the same! Phabeni's eyes are bright, alert, connecting w/others, things around him. THRILLED for this wee one! Def'ly, "the eyes are the window to the soul" -- for all living creatures great + small -- and his heart, body + spirit are thriving now... 🎉 🥳 🎉 #PhabeniLovesHERD, and we love him + HERD, too! 💞 🐘 💞
Khanyisa is certainly showing she is going to be a great big sister and was just learning from the herd about new baby and her place.They showed she is still loved ; not to be jealous and love new one. She picked up very quickly and very well. Very proud of our miracle girl. Timisa was doing well also, only wanted to help out and protect. The three imigos soon. Playing and having fun; Timisa ,Khanyisa and Phabeni. Sweeet, can't wait!!🫠❤😘
The love and protection the elephants have for the baby boy is immeasurable. So glad our pink princess is accepting him. Timisa was not sure about him.😂 His little screams caught my breath. Must be crazy trying to navigate among those big legs. So glad you got some rain. I think Spotty and Lammie are thinking hes acting goofy in the nursery. 😂😂 Thank you for this great video. 🩵🐘 ❤🐑🐑
Its so interesting watching the herd establishing their roles in regard to Phabeni. It just goes to show us how nature can give us the best surprising results that we never expected. This tiny baby chose his new mother and she readily accepted him as her own. Now the herd rallies around them in support.
@@The_Golden_Imp Yes, and time with the bulls also, like Sebakwe, Jabu, Fishan, Somopane who will give him valuable daddy/uncle/brother advise as he grows up like how to push down trees and throw them at lions, how to chase water buffalo, how to treat the ladies with respect and how to always protect the herd. Then there's Mambo who will teach him to... well, we all know what Mambo will teach him.
The rain sure does stir up a lot of emotions in the Elephants & it looks like Phabeni is too restless to take his nap. Both Spotty & Lammie staring at the door just waiting for the opportunity for someone to open it so they can make their escape. I bet they get knocked around quite a bit by Phabeni. Poor Spotty, he’s so little. ❤
Phabi is so lucky to have food, shelter, love, lots of human affection and Ellie affection. His body shows how happy he is with his blanket, fresh hay,Adobe's cuddles, what a life.❤❤❤😊😊😊
I love snorkel kisses given by the Bigs to their baby boy! 🦣💖 Tigere touching him so tenderly. Sweet Phabeni. Thank you for the videos. I pray one day all will appreciate these beautiful pachys.
Beautiful 'humble' Khanyisa! She really is adapting well. It was so cute when Phabeni went to Stavros......"Help me Stavos, there are too many legs and trunks!" 😂
Dear feisty fellow Phabeni, we love you, mama Adine, Lammie, Spotty, your ellie family, carers and everyone at HERD! Thank you for showing us love & compassion in a world that desperately needs more of it. Cheers from California USA!
My heart is full once again watching the little bull grow with the herds protection and love. He is such a strong little playful young man now 😂 he is so happy now with his human and Ellie families. ❤
I remember when I put my son to bed and he would fight every step of the way. Your baby's a lot bigger than my baby was.😅 Thank you for sharing your lives and these beautiful elephants with us. Have a beautiful blessed day.❤💕
Phabeni 🐘 is settling right in with his new family. You can see he is loved and protected by them. Huddling around him to keep him dry from the pouring rain. I am so happy to see Khaynisa 🐘 acceptance of him. Then there is bonding time with Adine and Starvos. He is dried off and given a blanket to keep warm. My heart ❤️ is smiling 😊. Have a beautiful day Jabulani 🐘 family ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
So protective are the females of the herd over their new baby 😍 Phabeni was so funny to watch at the end...wearing his "pyjamas" ready for beddy-byes but no way wanting to go to sleep! All the excitement of the day & then being back at his safe place where it's nice & warm along with his sheep friends, he seemed to be in full "let's play!" mode 😆 Such a cutie 🥰🙏❤️🐘
im so proud of princess khanyisa she knows now that this little one will need her help to grow beautifully just like she is doing, she will be a wonderful sisters you guys just watch she will be playing with baby phabini in no time, shes a toddler now shes a baby herself, still, ahahah she will always be a baby to me. Phabeni adores Adine he says hello to her every time she is around he always reaches up his little trunk to her, your jobs are beyond amazing sweet just the BEST in this world, congratulations everyone you are all amazing, doing God work 👼👼👼👼👼👼👼 we love you all so much the whole JABULANI HERD family🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That little guy is so adorable! I can't believe how big Khanyisa is now! I hope Timisi will calm down and accept Phabeni better! Phabeni looks like me trying to get to sleep at night--tossing and turning! lol
My heart made a little jump when i saw the video come online, but first finish work, then i can watch. Its amazing to see, how they all accept, love and try to keep Phabeni safe, its all big legs and boddys and somwhere between is the little prince. His scream of alarm made the whole herd jump and comd running. As with all the video's i watched it a vieuw times to see all the action. Phabeni will be safe with Setombe his mama, she is fierce in protecting together with Tokwe and Klaserie and also if she gets a change Kumbura. Thank you for posting and this time for filming in the ❤ rain.
Thank you Adine and Tigere for this. It was like therapy for me. I lost my 21 year old fur baby a few days ago and the grief is profound..... this video is so therapeutic, just what my broken heart needs💔. I love you all for all that you do💗. Thank you so so much🫶
I lost mine four months ago. I talk to him in my mind because I know everything is God energy and death doesn't exist. Talking to him makes me feel better and calms my grief. Uruguay ❤
I love the trunk exploration that happens amongst them. Now, with Phabeni, he is the subject of everyone's curiosity. Look at that tiny little guy weaving in and out of the herd. Rubbing his little head on those huge legs. He is just a baby needing love and reassurance...which he is finding with his family at HERD. 🥰 Oh, Klasserie...so funny!
Good girl, Khanyisa 🐘. She quickly begins to learn to be a big sister. Let this continue 😘🐘🐘. Oh what a heavy rain, it messed everything up. Phabeni is very cute in the orphanage, spinning around get hugs from Adine 🤗💕. Lammie and Spotty accoppanied by. Thank you for taking care for these stunning elephants ❤❤❤❤. Much love, Blessing 🙏❤.
HELLO ADINE, STAVROS, TIGERE, HERMAN, LAMMIE, SPOTTY, PHABENI, KHANYISA, ALL HERD CARERS AND ELEPHANTS!!! STAY WARM AND DRY! LOVE ALL OF YOU! SOOOO INSPIRED BY ALL OF YOU! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES! 🫶🐘🦏🐑✝️🌍⛈️🍼🫶
Loving lickle Phabeni's Dinosaur blanket. Sooo cute. Phabeni rolls are the best. He's sooo beautiful. Rain was heavy and it melts your heart how protective Kumbura, Klaserie and Khanyisa and Co were towards Phabeni ❤❤❤. Lovely seeing Khanyisa and Co and how big they all are compared to lickle Phabeni. He's loved by and cared for by Adine, Joshua and Carers and of course his new Ele family too. Amazing 🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘xxx
Love the written narrative! Khanyisa is doing just fine...as they all are. Setombe seems to have claimed this sweet and funny little bull...as Lundi, Limpopo and Tokwe back off and accept this oldest Cow as his mother. (I think it surprises them too!) What I find so heartwarming is Klasserie! She has NO TROUBLE accepting Phabeni as her baby brother...and does not show signs of jealousy...only intrigue and love! Love Jabu and Sebakwe's support of this sweet little fellow..as well as the little bull still running to his human carers for support! Perfect ending to Reply's nice warm bed of grass with Adine singing lullaby's! So adorable! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so impressed with Setombe! Knowing that she's never adopted an orphan before, or shown as much interest in it, I wonder what it was about Phabeni that made her want him so bad? Lundi was ready, but Setombe seemed to insist on being the main allomother to this little bull. She's very protective of him, as evidenced by her shoving Kumbura out of the way. I'm also impressed by our sweet Khanyisa's acceptance of the newest baby. It was cute to see that Phabeni is so small he could fit under her too. She'll make a great big sister. This is my favorite way to start my morning! ❤🐘😍🐘☕️ P.S. A very special thank you to all the lovely people who have made (or gifted!) blankets for the orphans. They're like warm hugs of love from the givers.
So sweet that Khanyisa seems to be calmer around Phabeni, and stands by him and seems to even try to protect him from the rain. And Phabeni reaching out to Stavros when things got a little stressful in the rain was so precious!
In today's world where we all speak our minds let me say THANK YOU HERD ❤your channel inspires many people me included to help others the examples the ellies show us of a herd love is mind blowing 🎉 I always think kindness is free and 🥰💞
Awwww Khanyisa did SO well!! She's beginning to understand her role as a Big Sister and you can see it at 05:20 with no doubt. Though she's the 2nds smallest, she does her best to stand steady over Phabeni the best she can as the adults begin to get agitated. It's like she's leveraging her own 'babyhood' with the adults because she also knows they won't hurt her, but being a bit bigger can be seen better and take a bit of a harder knock than Phabeni if need be. She knows....she knows. She's going to be a great Big Sister! edit 05:37 it even looks like she's trying to gently nudge Phabeni towards Adine where she knows he'll be safe.....our girl, she's keener than she gets credit for. And Phabeni's after rain nap sesh made me laugh so hard....typical kid.
He's such a character! I can tell he's so happy. He likes his bottom scratched for sure. I love the way he wiggles around and throws that trunk all over the place. Adorable little boy. ❤❤❤❤
It doesn’t seem that long ago Khanyisa was that tiny. What a beautiful family they are, with the help, love and devotion of Adine and the wonderful caregivers. 🐘🐘🐘🐘💙❤️💙❤️
It's amazing to see Phabeni frolicking in the warm hay just like the little baby he is. Adine and the carers are so wonderfully devoted to his well being and to all the herd, bravo! In the herd, Phabeni looks even smaller, just a toddler, brave and smart already. 😍💓 😊 💕🇨🇦
What a cool video of sweet Phabeni with the Herd and their sweet protection and also Setombe being the adopted mother like she was with sweet Khanysia when she was integrated into the Herd.❤️🥰🐘🐘. Then what just made me smile was that Khanysia was willing to protect the little one and I’m wondering if maybe she is experiencing some young motherly instinct. ❤️🥰🐘🐘Then Klaserie🐘🐘❤️ This Herd is definitely in tune in protecting a young baby in a hurry and making sure too that their new baby is safe and dry as much as possible too. However, the poor boy got quite nervous and all he could do was do his little trumpet sound and that kinda got the Herd into a tizzy but I know they definitely didn’t mean to scare the little one and make him feel scared and they just want3d to make sure he was alright. I truly do love this Herd cause they do have a lot of love in their big hearts and they truly do show so much more love and compassion then a lot of humans do and it was also awesome to see Jabulani too❤️🥰🐘. It’s great that you got rain but with the little one out in the elements with the Herd, it was a bit much but, it’s a good way for him to learn to get used to it and need to react like he did. I know he will continue to get better with the help from his elephant Herd and his human Carers and human mind my Adine too. Thanks for this awesome video and another good educational one too cause we got to see what it’s like for the first time for an orphaned elephant in the weather elements with larger elephants. Also, I have to say the sweet Khanysia is looking awesome and sure is doing great too. God bless and love to the elephants and human too. Sue M. Florida,USA ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🥰🙏👏🏻👏🏻😘❌⭕️❌⭕️
So sad to see Phabeni has passed. All the HERD staff and the herd will miss him horribly. These videos of him living the best life with so much love are treasures❤
🫶🌿✨The incredible 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘herd, 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🪽🐘going into protective mode and showering Phabeni with love and affection. Phabeni, was trying to find that perfect 💤spot, and was not going to compromise until he found it. 😂🐘🌿💞
Blessed little Phabeni's heart! He has a heard that he belongs to now and this by far has been the best video I've watched yet. Thank you Adine and all the others that make this possible. I love you all
Little Phabeni awakes so much intense love, he has some special natural charm, kind of magnetic attraction power💛🐘🧡❤ (or is it so with all baby elephants?)
Seeing how they navigate difficulties as a group, protecting baby, and playing with Phabeni at the end, this is the best video I've seen so far of them
That was nerve-wracking when all the ellies wanted to protect little Phabeni. I'd be so scared. Isn't it wonderful to see how each of the ellies have their priorities sorted out? This one goes here,that one does that,Klaserie does......ja,anyway ! Phabeni looked like when a dog gets out of the bath and rubs itself on the towel except the " towel" was also Adine.😂😂😂 Thanks for the video,it was wonderful to share a little bit of their day.❤
Khanyisa is being really good today! At about 5 minutes into the video, it even looked like she was moving into protect Phabeni when he was getting knocked around. She looked concerned when he was calling out. She's very interested today! It's amazing to see how the herd huddles & protects! Absolutely amazing. You see trunks reaching out to contain, each elephant is paying attention as to where he is going as they move to see if another has moved into position or if they are going to fill the gap. Even Lammie was paying attention when Adine was giving Phabeni love taps (or slaps, lol) on his butt. And boy was he being such a silly-billy rolling around in his nursery! It's obvious that he is very, very happy!
so happy to watch the quick evollution of Khanyisa !!! now she is goinq happy to have a little brother !!! even it's good tok jeep on ete on her !! ong its rains cats and dogs !! !!!! baby PHABENI IS REALLY TO BE HAPPY WITH THE HERD TOO ! what a difference from the beginning Phabeni is a very cool baby Thank you Adine and all the keepers to give us a moment of grace 💓t🐘💓 ! baby angel 🤗🤗It ´s a new adventure for Khanyisa ! she never saw or approach a baby éléphant Now she gaves cuddles to him !!! Khanyisa is very intelligent and copied the oldest
Is amazing to see how much love the elephants have for Phabeni. I can also see baby Khanyisa sad to see she’s not the center of attention. I saw her beautiful eyes sad and felt it too. Thank you Adine and all staff involved in caring for all this beautiful 🐘💖🐘♥️🐘💖🐘 😘🐘🤗🐘😘🐘🤗🐘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💖💖.
This is how all wild animals should live in their own natural environment So nice to see these elephants living as a herd no chains on their feet or around their bodies no scars All animals are born free should live free too Humans do not have the right to torture torment and subject them to the worst heartless mental physical tortures abuse cruelty This is how ekephants should live
I am glad you wrote that. Every time I see a chain around an elephant’s leg, my heart breaks to pieces and I want to scream. Obviously here elephants can be managed perfectly well with words, love, food and proper care. Human stupidity and wickedness is unbearable and unbelievable. Thanks to HERD my shattered faith is somehow restored.
After being lucky enough to find Adines chanel at the time Khanisia arrived,so tiny and hurt, it just goes to show how all team Herd, both humans and elephants live and work as a true team together to love and look after Phabeni.
Beautiful video! Loved everything about it! We need some of that rain here in Alberta, Canada! We have received some snow, but not nearly enough to bring water levels up to where they need to be. Phanbeni is so playful and you and all the carers are very loving towards him and all the Herd. Watching you helps me to feel hope for this world and all of us in it. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It has been my dream since early childhood to work with elephants. Became a nurse but I still have the dream. Maybe someday. For now, I live for these videos. ❤
Follow that dream! Your skills would be very welcome in Africa where there are numerous animal rescues and sanctuaries and a lack of medical resources in more remote places. I traveled in northern Namibia and fell in love with the area. Maybe you could look into a trip with an organization like Doctors Without Borders or do a volunteer stint with an animal rescue that could open opportunities. I am a retired wildlife biologist and although I loved my career in the US, I do wish I had tried harder to find my dream work in Africa when I was young. Now I just want to move there. Good luck!
Acceptance…is at the top of any living beings needs…When I see him being accepted and cared for…somehow I feel accepted and cared for and I can’t stop smiling! You all started this for him and now his new family of elephants is completing that! It’s a beautiful thing to witness…All proof that even four legged ANGELS WALK THE EARTH
Love, love, elephants! These gentle giants are amazing animals and have the most loving family units. I wanted to play with Phebani so much!! And, the goats provide lots of company for this sweet little guy, especially when his caretakers are away!🐘🐐💗💗💗
Awwww that us humans would watch & learn about live & protection! Phabeni reminds me of a little one when trying to put them down to sleep…..all of a sudden they get a spurt of energy and want to play and frolic!! Blessings to all carers & Adine! ❤️😊✝️
Grazie mille ❤❤❤ a tutti gli assistenti dell'orfanotrofio che si prendono cura di tutti gli elefanti anche se piove. Phabeni è un cucciolo ❤️❤️❤️ simpatico però c'è khanisa un po' gelosa verrà superato anche questo momento ❤. Grazie mille a tutti 🙂👍🥰❤️
Thank you to all the staff who dedicate their life to caring for this unique herd and for sharing the amazing world of elephant behavior with us through these videos.
BEAUTIFUL video of the Jabu herd welcoming and loving Phabeni as one of their own, plus precious Phabeni fighting sleep in the nursery, in his darlin' 🦖 dinosaur 🦕 blanket. Perfect day at HERD! TY + BLESSINGS to ALL of u!!! 💞🧍♀️🐘🧍♂️✝️ 🧍♂️🐘🧍♀️💞
Phabeni has such a lovely life. Humans feed him and give him medical care, as well as love and friendship. But he has many elephants to bond with, as well. And then other animals, like his sheep friends. So he has a variety of life around him, similarly to what he wpuld have had in the wild.
“Sheesh, after all that torrential rain nearly drowning me, I now have to keep these humans and goats entertained! It’s a hard life being the only baby bull around!” 😂 The most envied woman in the world, Adine; who wouldn’t want to be in your place playing with little Beni. He was having one of his good days here, I see. So rewarding for you, for all your efforts, love and care for him. We’re all behind you, and your amazing team 👍👏🏻🙏🥰🐘🥰
No jealousy today from Khanyisa she was concerned. When Phabene was surrounded and nervous she was concerned. Tryied yo keep an eye on him. Even when Adine called him she was not jealous. Good girl. Mama Septombe pushing others to keep her baby in sight. Another excellent look into their life. “Nappy time little one”. ‘’Nope play time. Play with me. That rolling and trunk action was sooo cute. And can’t forget him going to Dtabos and hugging him with all those trunks and legs overwhelmed him. Like being lost in a crowd of legs

Dear Carers,
This miracle of elephant love is possible because of all the love and time you put into them.
Bless you. 💜
Beautiful, thank you 🤩
@francescaa8331, I think too, carers are loving. You said well .
Let’s take a moment to say thanks to all the carers there standing tirelessly in the rain to watch over this amazing family.
Yes! They are amazing in their devotion and love for each one of the herd.
I was so moved hearing Tigere talking about how much he missed the elephants in his two years away before he could get back to them.
Imagining a world where everyone cared about all living things this way.
Blessings to you.
Paz y luz to all 💫

Agreed. *Thank you HERD!!*
This is the result of years & years of commitment, dedication, unconditional love, hard physical work, attention to details, fund raising, budgeting, communication with the community and dozens of other people behind the scene who quietly support this group. The Rangers, the Vets, Jabulani Lodge, Women of Jabulani and more more more. Adine, your leadership is exemplary. ❤😊I love you and ALL of HERD! ❤Thank you ALL, ALL, ALL!
Beautifully said
They do an amazing job with so much love ❤️🐘
Phabeni is like a playful little puppy on the floor of his stall. Adine has that beautiful motherly heart caring for each elle, and each carer. No wonder this is my first stop each morning to start the day with a smile. God bless!!❤
Thank you for sharing your morning with us 🐘💚
Agreed 💯%! It's always my first stop, even before breakfast. ❤❤❤❤❤
Phabeni seems to be a very affectionate baby who loves cuddles, kisses, scratching his body against another, and leaning his frame against anyone. He seems to love being touched. And I love that Timisa and Khanyisa seem to be taking a little bit more interest to being big sisters to him.I really love the love and acceptance all of the elephants are giving him.❤🐘❤
Stavros is a real elephant whisperer. They feel calm with him and how he speaks to them in silence. Through his emotions and intuition. Magic!
My favorite HERD never disappoints me, always being so careful and loving when they adopt a new baby. Thanks to Adine and all the carers for making this possible. You are amazing!!!!🥰🍀🐘🌟♥️
The devotion, bonding, and love expressed by the group members is special as is the devotion, bonding, and love shown by all the carers. Your unselfish deeds are not overlooked...
Khanyisa seemed more protective of Phabeni today! He looked so tiny among all the legs of the Herd trying to shield him from the rain! 🌧️☔ Scary at times, but all is well. Phabeni is so cute, always wanting to get onto Adine's lap! Wonderful to see him so happy and healthy!
Thanks Adine and all the carers! Take care!
💜🐘🐑🐑💙🙏🌧️🌱💚
It is a beautiful sight seeing the elephant's accepting Phabeni. Although Khanyisa will always have a special place in my heart, as she was the little Ellie that led me to the herd. But, Phabeni is a little cutie.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Phabeni shows the unmistakable signs of a baby fighting sleep! Even the Adine lullaby couldn’t offset the stimulation Seuntjie experienced in a rainstorm under a million elephants! I can’t believe he was able to slip under Timisa! Personally, I would love a Jabulani “umbrella” to keep me dry! ☔️ 🐘 💋🫶
I love how the young females take on the protective roll. It is so good for the herd in whole to have a baby around, it helps Khanyisa and Timisa learn. Little Phabeni knows how to communicate for sure! Thank you Adine for being there to play with him. Such an important part of his growth and development!❤️🐘
What an amazing community of HERD lovers here. We're all rooting for elephants around the world and so grateful to get to know these 18 close up.
How fantastic to see the collective watch of the carers, too. It's hard work. Mighty gratitude and admiration.
Plus ~ today was a true milestone for Khanyisa: what joy to see her accomodate the new arrival into the group. Brava, chica!
Paz y luz to all 💫

PS So happy Spottie came to HERD! It's good for him, Lammie & tiny Phabeni. ❤
The herd is embracing Phabeni so beautifully… although when did they ever not do that for any newcomer! They are such an exemplary model of adaptation, resilience, and lots and lots of love and acceptance. ❤
That's what I was thinking. I knew that they would welcome the baby with open arms. Because they're so loving and good with every new member. Such incredible beings.
They are elephants ,more human than you would know
Actually, so different than humans. Much more quietly intuitive and patient to use human words to describe. But, elephants have their own detailed way of being that there is no words to describe.
Well said. 😊👍🏼💗
Actually it’s the staff who “engineer” things to allow this to happen. It wouldn’t happen by itself. They are indeed the elephant whisperers.
Phebeni looks much happier, he needed the love of his own kind, his eyes don’t look sad anymore
Have noticed the same!
Phabeni's eyes are bright, alert, connecting w/others, things around him.
THRILLED for this wee one!
Def'ly, "the eyes are the window to the soul" -- for all living creatures great + small -- and his heart, body + spirit are thriving now... 🎉 🥳 🎉
#PhabeniLovesHERD,
and we love him + HERD, too! 💞 🐘 💞
💯 I have noticed that too!! They look bright and curious about what the day will bring, instead of listless..❤
Khanyisa is certainly showing she is going to be a great big sister and was just learning from the herd about new baby and her place.They showed she is still loved ; not to be jealous and love new one. She picked up very quickly and very well. Very proud of our miracle girl. Timisa was doing well also, only wanted to help out and protect. The three imigos soon. Playing and having fun; Timisa ,Khanyisa and Phabeni. Sweeet, can't wait!!🫠❤😘
The love and protection the elephants have for the baby boy is immeasurable. So glad our pink princess is accepting him. Timisa was not sure about him.😂
His little screams caught my breath. Must be crazy trying to navigate among those big legs.
So glad you got some rain. I think Spotty and Lammie are thinking hes acting goofy in the nursery. 😂😂
Thank you for this great video.
🩵🐘 ❤🐑🐑
YES, he is acting goofy and is a rough little boy he doesn't know yet its limitation but will learn in the process
Its so interesting watching the herd establishing their roles in regard to Phabeni. It just goes to show us how nature can give us the best surprising results that we never expected. This tiny baby chose his new mother and she readily accepted him as her own. Now the herd rallies around them in support.
Even though Setombe has the most dominant claim, he clearly gets lots of "mamma time" with all of them 🙂
Yes, I remember that with Kanyahsi, a favorite mom, but also many moms.
@@The_Golden_Imp Yes, and time with the bulls also, like Sebakwe, Jabu, Fishan, Somopane who will give him valuable daddy/uncle/brother advise as he grows up like how to push down trees and throw them at lions, how to chase water buffalo, how to treat the ladies with respect and how to always protect the herd. Then there's Mambo who will teach him to... well, we all know what Mambo will teach him.
@@lynnell5993
😂💯🐘🩵💪
I have impression that Phabeni chose Setombe - and Setombe chose Phabeni, like mutual "love at first sight", kind of...
Baby Phabeni - to be wanted, to feel part of a huge family.
this is best medicine for your viewers too, thank you wonderful people.
It’s so beautiful to see feisty Phabeni living his best life, expressing himself freely in the safety of Herd. What a blessing to see these beings.❤
Phabeni is a handsome little fella ❤ and he's a handful...
It looked like Khanyisa was trying to keep Phabeni safe after he screamed and she looked concerned about him.
I saw that, and then I wondered if she was worried the “biggers” would think she had done something when she was really very, very sweet. 💋🫶
@@terryheatwole6153 Yes, Khanyisa was very sweet 😊❤.
I realize I've got nothing to do with it, but gosh, I'm so PROUD of Khanyisa today!
😊🇸🇿🐘🩵🍼🦏🦋
The rain sure does stir up a lot of emotions in the Elephants & it looks like Phabeni is too restless to take his nap. Both Spotty & Lammie staring at the door just waiting for the opportunity for someone to open it so they can make their escape. I bet they get knocked around quite a bit by Phabeni. Poor Spotty, he’s so little. ❤
Phabi is so lucky to have food, shelter, love, lots of human affection and Ellie affection. His body shows how happy he is with his blanket, fresh hay,Adobe's cuddles, what a life.❤❤❤😊😊😊
He has his Sheepy friends as well even if he is a little bit rough with Wonderful Lammie sometimes
I love snorkel kisses given by the Bigs to their baby boy! 🦣💖 Tigere touching him so tenderly. Sweet Phabeni. Thank you for the videos. I pray one day all will appreciate these beautiful pachys.
And that sweet little wiggley bum of his, as he's fighting sleep in the nursery. ❤😊
Beautiful 'humble' Khanyisa! She really is adapting well. It was so cute when Phabeni went to Stavros......"Help me Stavos, there are too many legs and trunks!" 😂
Dear feisty fellow Phabeni, we love you, mama Adine, Lammie, Spotty, your ellie family, carers and everyone at HERD! Thank you for showing us love & compassion in a world that desperately needs more of it. Cheers from California USA!
My heart is full once again watching the little bull grow with the herds protection and love. He is such a strong little playful young man now 😂 he is so happy now with his human and Ellie families. ❤
I remember when I put my son to bed and he would fight every step of the way.
Your baby's a lot bigger than my baby was.😅
Thank you for sharing your lives and these beautiful elephants with us.
Have a beautiful blessed day.❤💕
Phabeni 🐘 is settling right in with his new family. You can see he is loved and protected by them. Huddling around him to keep him dry from the pouring rain. I am so happy to see Khaynisa 🐘 acceptance of him. Then there is bonding time with Adine and Starvos. He is dried off and given a blanket to keep warm. My heart ❤️ is smiling 😊. Have a beautiful day Jabulani 🐘 family ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
So protective are the females of the herd over their new baby 😍 Phabeni was so funny to watch at the end...wearing his "pyjamas" ready for beddy-byes but no way wanting to go to sleep! All the excitement of the day & then being back at his safe place where it's nice & warm along with his sheep friends, he seemed to be in full "let's play!" mode 😆 Such a cutie 🥰🙏❤️🐘
im so proud of princess khanyisa she knows now that this little one will need her help to grow beautifully just like she is doing, she will be a wonderful sisters you guys just watch she will be playing with baby phabini in no time, shes a toddler now shes a baby herself, still, ahahah she will always be a baby to me. Phabeni adores Adine he says hello to her every time she is around he always reaches up his little trunk to her, your jobs are beyond amazing sweet just the BEST in this world, congratulations everyone you are all amazing, doing God work 👼👼👼👼👼👼👼
we love you all so much the whole JABULANI HERD family🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes, these juveniles that were the babies, are so loving.
@CristinaF210 Amen to ALL your comment!🐘🐑🐑🩵🫶🕊🐦🇺🇸
That little guy is so adorable! I can't believe how big Khanyisa is now! I hope Timisi will calm down and accept Phabeni better! Phabeni looks like me trying to get to sleep at night--tossing and turning! lol
@marjoriehopkins1630 Boy, can I relate to that sleeping comment!!🥴😉🐘🩵💞🕊🐦🇺🇸
@@susanfeneley LOL
My heart made a little jump when i saw the video come online, but first finish work, then i can watch. Its amazing to see, how they all accept, love and try to keep Phabeni safe, its all big legs and boddys and somwhere between is the little prince. His scream of alarm made the whole herd jump and comd running. As with all the video's i watched it a vieuw times to see all the action. Phabeni will be safe with Setombe his mama, she is fierce in protecting together with Tokwe and Klaserie and also if she gets a change Kumbura. Thank you for posting and this time for filming in the ❤ rain.
Thank you Adine and Tigere for this. It was like therapy for me. I lost my 21 year old fur baby a few days ago and the grief is profound..... this video is so therapeutic, just what my broken heart needs💔. I love you all for all that you do💗. Thank you so so much🫶
We are happy to be here for you, and we hope your heart is able to heal soon 💚❤️🩹
@@herdelephantorphanage Dankie🤍🔆
I lost mine four months ago.
I talk to him in my mind because I know everything is God energy and death doesn't exist. Talking to him makes me feel better and calms my grief.
Uruguay ❤
@@mariafont8826I agree with you completely...they're just saving a spot for us.😔🕊🦋
@cattailer1077 Left a message for you recently...I feel your pain and still in my prayers. Strength and peace. 😔🦋🕊
The little baby was overwhelmed with so much love from his adopted family. ❤
I love the trunk exploration that happens amongst them. Now, with Phabeni, he is the subject of everyone's curiosity. Look at that tiny little guy weaving in and out of the herd. Rubbing his little head on those huge legs. He is just a baby needing love and reassurance...which he is finding with his family at HERD. 🥰 Oh, Klasserie...so funny!
YES, Setombe and Klaserie have been amazing with Phabeni
You all are angels. Your tenderness towards this baby looks as though it was a human baby. God bless you all. And of course all the beautiful animals
Phabeni looks so tiny amongst all those elephants.
Reminds me of how big they really are.
Beautiful family
Good girl, Khanyisa 🐘. She quickly begins to learn to be a big sister. Let this continue 😘🐘🐘. Oh what a heavy rain, it messed everything up. Phabeni is very cute in the orphanage, spinning around get hugs from Adine 🤗💕. Lammie and Spotty accoppanied by. Thank you for taking care for these stunning elephants ❤❤❤❤. Much love, Blessing 🙏❤.
HELLO ADINE, STAVROS, TIGERE, HERMAN, LAMMIE, SPOTTY, PHABENI, KHANYISA, ALL HERD CARERS AND ELEPHANTS!!! STAY WARM AND DRY! LOVE ALL OF YOU! SOOOO INSPIRED BY ALL OF YOU! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES! 🫶🐘🦏🐑✝️🌍⛈️🍼🫶
Loving lickle Phabeni's Dinosaur blanket. Sooo cute. Phabeni rolls are the best. He's sooo beautiful.
Rain was heavy and it melts your heart how protective Kumbura, Klaserie and Khanyisa and Co were towards Phabeni ❤❤❤. Lovely seeing Khanyisa and Co and how big they all are compared to lickle Phabeni. He's loved by and cared for by Adine, Joshua and Carers and of course his new Ele family too. Amazing 🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘🥰🐘xxx
Love the written narrative! Khanyisa is doing just fine...as they all are. Setombe seems to have claimed this sweet and funny little bull...as Lundi, Limpopo and Tokwe back off and accept this oldest Cow as his mother. (I think it surprises them too!) What I find so heartwarming is Klasserie! She has NO TROUBLE accepting Phabeni as her baby brother...and does not show signs of jealousy...only intrigue and love! Love Jabu and Sebakwe's support of this sweet little fellow..as well as the little bull still running to his human carers for support! Perfect ending to Reply's nice warm bed of grass with Adine singing lullaby's! So adorable! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so impressed with Setombe! Knowing that she's never adopted an orphan before, or shown as much interest in it, I wonder what it was about Phabeni that made her want him so bad? Lundi was ready, but Setombe seemed to insist on being the main allomother to this little bull. She's very protective of him, as evidenced by her shoving Kumbura out of the way. I'm also impressed by our sweet Khanyisa's acceptance of the newest baby. It was cute to see that Phabeni is so small he could fit under her too. She'll make a great big sister.
This is my favorite way to start my morning! ❤🐘😍🐘☕️
P.S. A very special thank you to all the lovely people who have made (or gifted!) blankets for the orphans. They're like warm hugs of love from the givers.
So sweet that Khanyisa seems to be calmer around Phabeni, and stands by him and seems to even try to protect him from the rain. And Phabeni reaching out to Stavros when things got a little stressful in the rain was so precious!
In today's world where we all speak our minds let me say THANK YOU HERD ❤your channel inspires many people me included to help others the examples the ellies show us of a herd love is mind blowing 🎉 I always think kindness is free and 🥰💞
@cynthiamoore3250 KUDOS to you!🐘🩵🥰🐦🇺🇸
@@susanfeneley thank you 😊 I wish we as people can follow their example
Happy to see that Khanyisa is more relaxed with Phabeni. If you're ever looking for the little ones, just look for Kumbura. 🐘😊
Khanyisa looks gorgeously healthy. Remembering how distressing her first days at HERD were with her injuries. Now look at her!
Awwww Khanyisa did SO well!! She's beginning to understand her role as a Big Sister and you can see it at 05:20 with no doubt. Though she's the 2nds smallest, she does her best to stand steady over Phabeni the best she can as the adults begin to get agitated. It's like she's leveraging her own 'babyhood' with the adults because she also knows they won't hurt her, but being a bit bigger can be seen better and take a bit of a harder knock than Phabeni if need be. She knows....she knows. She's going to be a great Big Sister! edit 05:37 it even looks like she's trying to gently nudge Phabeni towards Adine where she knows he'll be safe.....our girl, she's keener than she gets credit for.
And Phabeni's after rain nap sesh made me laugh so hard....typical kid.
Phabeni is such a little boy.. he’s so happy..💚🐘
Phabeni seems all worked up from the herd and rain. Winding down can be adorable 🥰 💜🐘💜🐘💜
To watch the women protect PHABENI is so impactful. Nothing human about ELEPHANTS, they are unparalleled in MOTHERERING.🐘🙏🐘🙏🐘🙏🐘🙏🐘🌹🌺💐🌸🌷
He's such a character! I can tell he's so happy. He likes his bottom scratched for sure. I love the way he wiggles around and throws that trunk all over the place. Adorable little boy. ❤❤❤❤
It doesn’t seem that long ago Khanyisa was that tiny. What a beautiful family they are, with the help, love and devotion of Adine and the wonderful caregivers. 🐘🐘🐘🐘💙❤️💙❤️
It's amazing to see Phabeni frolicking in the warm hay just like the little baby he is. Adine and the carers are so wonderfully devoted to his well being and to all the herd, bravo! In the herd, Phabeni looks even smaller, just a toddler, brave and smart already. 😍💓 😊 💕🇨🇦
Che bello ombrello che hai Phabeni ☔🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
What a cool video of sweet Phabeni with the Herd and their sweet protection and also Setombe being the adopted mother like she was with sweet Khanysia when she was integrated into the Herd.❤️🥰🐘🐘. Then what just made me smile was that Khanysia was willing to protect the little one and I’m wondering if maybe she is experiencing some young motherly instinct. ❤️🥰🐘🐘Then Klaserie🐘🐘❤️ This Herd is definitely in tune in protecting a young baby in a hurry and making sure too that their new baby is safe and dry as much as possible too. However, the poor boy got quite nervous and all he could do was do his little trumpet sound and that kinda got the Herd into a tizzy but I know they definitely didn’t mean to scare the little one and make him feel scared and they just want3d to make sure he was alright. I truly do love this Herd cause they do have a lot of love in their big hearts and they truly do show so much more love and compassion then a lot of humans do and it was also awesome to see Jabulani too❤️🥰🐘. It’s great that you got rain but with the little one out in the elements with the Herd, it was a bit much but, it’s a good way for him to learn to get used to it and need to react like he did. I know he will continue to get better with the help from his elephant Herd and his human Carers and human mind my Adine too. Thanks for this awesome video and another good educational one too cause we got to see what it’s like for the first time for an orphaned elephant in the weather elements with larger elephants. Also, I have to say the sweet Khanysia is looking awesome and sure is doing great too. God bless and love to the elephants and human too. Sue M. Florida,USA ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🥰🙏👏🏻👏🏻😘❌⭕️❌⭕️
So sad to see Phabeni has passed.
All the HERD staff and the herd will miss him horribly.
These videos of him living the best life with so much love are treasures❤
🫶🌿✨The incredible 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘herd, 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🪽🐘going into protective mode and showering Phabeni with love and affection.
Phabeni, was trying to find that perfect 💤spot, and was not going to compromise until he found it. 😂🐘🌿💞
Blessed little Phabeni's heart! He has a heard that he belongs to now and this by far has been the best video I've watched yet. Thank you Adine and all the others that make this possible. I love you all
Little Phabeni awakes so much intense love, he has some special natural charm, kind of magnetic attraction power💛🐘🧡❤ (or is it so with all baby elephants?)
All baby elephants are magnetic ❤

Seeing how they navigate difficulties as a group, protecting baby, and playing with Phabeni at the end, this is the best video I've seen so far of them
It looks like Khanyisa has decided having a baby brother isn't so bad after all. Good girl 💖❤️
That was nerve-wracking when all the ellies wanted to protect little Phabeni. I'd be so scared. Isn't it wonderful to see how each of the ellies have their priorities sorted out? This one goes here,that one does that,Klaserie does......ja,anyway ! Phabeni looked like when a dog gets out of the bath and rubs itself on the towel except the " towel" was also Adine.😂😂😂 Thanks for the video,it was wonderful to share a little bit of their day.❤
PLEASE - hit the like button! It's important!!!!!
Yes, and don't skip ads.
Khanyisa is being really good today! At about 5 minutes into the video, it even looked like she was moving into protect Phabeni when he was getting knocked around. She looked concerned when he was calling out. She's very interested today!
It's amazing to see how the herd huddles & protects! Absolutely amazing. You see trunks reaching out to contain, each elephant is paying attention as to where he is going as they move to see if another has moved into position or if they are going to fill the gap. Even Lammie was paying attention when Adine was giving Phabeni love taps (or slaps, lol) on his butt.
And boy was he being such a silly-billy rolling around in his nursery! It's obvious that he is very, very happy!
so happy to watch the quick evollution of Khanyisa !!! now she is goinq happy to have a little brother !!! even it's good tok jeep on ete on her !! ong its rains cats and dogs !! !!!! baby PHABENI IS REALLY TO BE HAPPY WITH THE HERD TOO ! what a difference from the beginning Phabeni is a very cool baby Thank you Adine and all the keepers to give us a moment of grace 💓t🐘💓 ! baby angel 🤗🤗It ´s a new adventure for Khanyisa ! she never saw or approach a baby éléphant Now she gaves cuddles to him !!! Khanyisa is very intelligent and copied the oldest
Is amazing to see how much love the elephants have for Phabeni. I can also see baby Khanyisa sad to see she’s not the center of attention. I saw her beautiful eyes sad and felt it too.
Thank you Adine and all staff involved in caring for all this beautiful 🐘💖🐘♥️🐘💖🐘 😘🐘🤗🐘😘🐘🤗🐘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💖💖.
Lambies, elephants and humans! Oh, my! Co-existing happily and healthily together. What a wonderful sight! Thank you HERD.
This is how all wild animals should live in their own natural environment So nice to see these elephants living as a herd no chains on their feet or around their bodies no scars All animals are born free should live free too Humans do not have the right to torture torment and subject them to the worst heartless mental physical tortures abuse cruelty This is how ekephants should live
I am glad you wrote that. Every time I see a chain around an elephant’s leg, my heart breaks to pieces and I want to scream. Obviously here elephants can be managed perfectly well with words, love, food and proper care. Human stupidity and wickedness is unbearable and unbelievable. Thanks to HERD my shattered faith is somehow restored.
After being lucky enough to find Adines chanel at the time Khanisia arrived,so tiny and hurt, it just goes to show how all team Herd, both humans and elephants live and work as a true team together to love and look after Phabeni.
Beautiful video! Loved everything about it! We need some of that rain here in Alberta, Canada! We have received some snow, but not nearly enough to bring water levels up to where they need to be. Phanbeni is so playful and you and all the carers are very loving towards him and all the Herd. Watching you helps me to feel hope for this world and all of us in it. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love watching commercials for Herd videos.
Best time spent 👍
We are so grateful! ☺️
Phabeni is a little wiggle worm 😊.
@allisoncompeaux3981 Perfect description!🩵🐘
imagine a world where every new born child immediately find this kind of acceptance, love and support
That little elephant is so darling. I just love him.
MEGA-DITTO!!!
It has been my dream since early childhood to work with elephants. Became a nurse but I still have the dream. Maybe someday. For now, I live for these videos. ❤
If you are a nurse in the USA, you have surely achieved your stated dream? 😛
Follow that dream! Your skills would be very welcome in Africa where there are numerous animal rescues and sanctuaries and a lack of medical resources in more remote places. I traveled in northern Namibia and fell in love with the area. Maybe you could look into a trip with an organization like Doctors Without Borders or do a volunteer stint with an animal rescue that could open opportunities. I am a retired wildlife biologist and although I loved my career in the US, I do wish I had tried harder to find my dream work in Africa when I was young. Now I just want to move there. Good luck!
Setombe is such a wonderfully protective mama of Phabeni! And i loved seeing Khanyisa becoming more comfortable as a big sister
Acceptance…is at the top of any living beings needs…When I see him being accepted and cared for…somehow I feel accepted and cared for and I can’t stop smiling! You all started this for him and now his new family of elephants is completing that! It’s a beautiful thing to witness…All proof that even four legged ANGELS WALK THE EARTH
Thank you wonderful carers standing around in heavy rain ❤watching the herd. Thank you. And though heavy, what a blessing to have refreshing rain
He is so glad to be out of rain and warm 🕊🇺🇲💕
Love, love, elephants! These gentle giants are amazing animals and have the most loving family units. I wanted to play with Phebani so much!! And, the goats provide lots of company for this sweet little guy, especially when his caretakers are away!🐘🐐💗💗💗
I love ALL of the elephants in the herd but i have a special, soft spot in my heart for sweet Kumbura.
Hi khanisa ❤️💕💕💕. Hi Phabeni ❤️💕💕💕
Elephants are animals and cannot speak or read youtube comments.
Blessings all around❤️
Awwww that us humans would watch & learn about live & protection! Phabeni reminds me of a little one when trying to put them down to sleep…..all of a sudden they get a spurt of energy and want to play and frolic!! Blessings to all carers & Adine! ❤️😊✝️
He is a silly little boy when in his room ❤
Such a rascal. Love them all!
It’s lovely to see the rain and all of your green vegetation!
Good morning from Tidewater, Virginia 😊
What a great video. All these Ellies so protective of little Phabeni and he is so so little. Thankyou and l hope you all have a great day 😊

The sweetest little elephant rump❤❤😊
So lovely to watch Phabeni from the time he was rescued to now. Thank you for all the work you do.
Phabeni has such a lovely life. Humans feed him and give him medical care, as well as love and friendship. But he has many elephants to bond with, as well. And then other animals, like his sheep friends. So he has a variety of life around him, similarly to what he wpuld have had in the wild.
“Sheesh, after all that torrential rain nearly drowning me, I now have to keep these humans and goats entertained! It’s a hard life being the only baby bull around!” 😂 The most envied woman in the world, Adine; who wouldn’t want to be in your place playing with little Beni. He was having one of his good days here, I see. So rewarding for you, for all your efforts, love and care for him. We’re all behind you, and your amazing team 👍👏🏻🙏🥰🐘🥰
No jealousy today from Khanyisa she was concerned. When Phabene was surrounded and nervous she was concerned. Tryied yo keep an eye on him. Even when Adine called him she was not jealous. Good girl. Mama Septombe pushing others to keep her baby in sight. Another excellent look into their life. “Nappy time little one”. ‘’Nope play time. Play with me. That rolling and trunk action was sooo cute. And can’t forget him going to Dtabos and hugging him with all those trunks and legs overwhelmed him. Like being lost in a crowd of legs
Thank you baby Phabeni for making me smile. So heart warming to see you snuggle with Adine. And get comfort from your devoted care person, Reply.
