It's not a bond based on reward, it's a bond based on trust
and love and care 100
Exactly! The best sort of bond there is because it encompasses all the good things in life. ❤
that hit different didnt it bro unlocked "Loved by nature" platinum with that one
I’d say based on love. It’s different. I still love some people I don’t trust😄
Yes
Imagine ten elephants welcoming you 😊
So sweet❤
Loud and wonderful ❤
Dream come true
That would be epic
This guy's livin the life!
Once you’ve established such a strong bond with a wild animal like this, you’ve made it to the highest frequency of life! Absolutely incredible ❤
Spot on.
So true, and such beautiful choice of words
AMEN!!🙏❤
Ditto!!
Then you're truly one with nature
Elephants are warm, social, and very intelligent animals. Thanks for posting.
Love how the elephants form a circle around him to protect him.
Yeah, to them he must appear so small and squishy. It surely triggers their protective instincts.
❤️ love it 😀
just like a new baby.
WHO ELSE LOVES ELEPHANTS♥️♥️♥️🐘I LOVE HER!!!
Me
I do! :D
Me 2❤
Có tôi đây nè. ❤❤🐘
They're awesome animals! 🐘🕊
Several years ago, I got to pet an elephant at the fair. I told her how beautiful and sweet she was. She gently wrapped her trunk around me and pulled me against her head for a hug. I spread my arms as far as they would go, leaned my whole body against her, and gave her some kisses. The man with her said it was really unusual for her to do that with someone she just met. I still love that sweet girl.
...and then I hope you reported them, as this (a fair?) is not an adequate life for these exceptional beings.
They may bond with humans, but they desperately need their intricate familial relationships 😢
Many people, including some biologists, have written about telepathy with animals and how they can understand our thoughts, so maybe she understood all the nice things you were feeling towards her ❤
A 2017 study opens in a new tab (Oxytocin and Opioid Receptor Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Greeting Behavior in Dogs) found that variations in the receptor genes for oxytocin were related to dogs' willingness to greet unfamiliar people. African elephants were found to be superior sniffers, possessing the largest number of genes associated with smell - five times as many as humans and more than twice that of dogs.
@@pandadimsumtruck3757 Elephants' trunks are amazing for their muscular structure, but I didn't know that they had extra ability for smells, too! Thank you for a fascinating post!
you have a powerful aura.
How can we hurt such beautiful beings?
We don't?
An idle dream of mine is for someone to either revive Babar or write another elephant-based story and for it to become massively popular. Habitat destruction is hard to stop but poaching for ivory is just total bullshit that would be so easy to stop if there was just some way to kill the demand for it.
@@Ienteredmynamecorrectly-lt3nuOh we very much do (we as in humans). For thousands of years, elephants were hunted for the ivory in their tusks, and are still hunted by poachers and the ultra-rich for trophy killings. We even have a special gun for killing them (elephant gun). It has always sickened me to no end, they are such wonderful intelligent creatures. I just wish everyone were as appreciative of them.
@@Ienteredmynamecorrectly-lt3nu ignorance is bliss I guess eh?
For profit.
No words.....just made me cry! So happy for all of you! Thanks for being there for the elephants!
Omg I cried too. What a fantastic story.
Are these elephants your pet elephants?
You all need to get ahold of your emotions. This is heart warming but tear worthy? Come on.
@@one7decimal2eightLet us know when you find your emotions and cry happy tears. Seems like you need those. They are healthy.
@@Bobzt2 Exactly! I did the same, and that person will NOT shame my happy tears, this was too beautiful 😊😊❤❤❤❤
When an animal chooses YOU? Talk about a special feeling. ❤
Exactly, this has to be the biggest flex in humanity
they dont choose you. they can sense if you are loving them or not. At least some animals can. And so can we. Its a mutual thing.
@@Jeed92 Don't complicate it, just call it a trust.
@@Jeed92stfu Mr know it all in the UA-cam comment section 🙄
@@Jeed92shut the heck up Mr know it all in the UA-cam comment section 🙄
How lucky is this man? He's been accepted as a member of that family!
He's truly Blessed.
I love elephants so much. They're so incredibly beautiful.
An elephants happy trumpet is one of the most beautiful noises ❤❤
I would love to hear one!😊
And terrifying if it's chasing you for the wrong reasons😜
Yes
You have something 8 billion people won't ever experience. Protect these animals at all costs.
*8 billion :')
We've already neared 8 billion worldwide. I can remember when we were at around 6.8 billion. It's crazy (scary and sad) how quickly we're proliferating....
@ElysetheEevee I feel like every single generation has seen this happening for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and just tell themselves:
At least I won't live long enough to see it all go to hell...
@@c.a.6972I wish there were more humans like this man then I feel there wouldn’t be so many elephants deaths. He is an elephants guardian Angel.❤️🙏🐘
@c.a.6972 Those are clearly Asian elephants, not African... Genius 🤣🤣
Animals can teach us soooo much about love. They really can if we are willing to learn.
We love you Derrick for all you do for our wonderful ellies! He was in Cambodia helping with Kaavan, the former world's loneliest elephant, after his rescue from a Pakistan zoo. Blessings dear man!
Animals know when a person has a good heart ❤
💯 They have that innate sense
Yes they do
Well, no. A certain person who killed a lot people in Europe during the 40s had dogs that liked him a lot...
@@melvinshine9841yeah, I'd say like humans, animals don't always have an innate sense. Especially if that person is always nice to them, they may not pick up on how they treat others.
@@joyc.e.7511 they do.
He's just a smaller elephant in her eyes. 🐘❤
Yes
part of the tribe.
Elephants are such amazing creatures , so loving, so intelligent ! I don't know how someone so heartless can hurt them or kill them for their selfish purposes...
You vegan then?
@@cracked229 are you okay in your head?!
@@user-nm3rx1pv5q You would be as well if you ate more than grass everyday
@@Ienteredmynamecorrectly-lt3nu speak for yourself...
Being loved by animals is something but loved by Elephants! That’s really special!
Now I am convinced that elephants don't just outweigh us, they have much bigger hearts.
Much bigger brains too.
Check out their art! They paint! 😁
The comment above mine sounds like a joke but elephants can and have indeed be taught to paint.
@@YosiahWin some cases, they’re abused to do so. Which is really sad
@@HonkLoser But there's just as much good in this world as there is evil. So for every abused animal there's a loved animal - or at least that's my belief.
God bless this man and elephants
God may you KEEP blessing this man and elephants
All elephants were so relieved when he came back. You can almost feel the "where have u been?" They have adopted him in their family.
If you're accepted by an elephant, you're heart is pure.
Elephants are smart, loyal, loving, sensitive. We humans need to strive to be more like them. Oh, and stop killing them for their ivory.
I absolutely agree with everything you said in your comment.👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙏🐘
That would be effing china🤬. Boycott china.....
you better not find out some of the things they do to other animals for fun.
THe people killing them for their ivory are not gonna be in the comments. They aren't watching these type of videos lol
the ivory market is not a thing anymore, it is banned in every country, what you find now is a lot of tusks from other animals and believe or not, wooly mammoth ivory that they have been unearthing all over Siberia. The animals that are in trouble are rhinos, people kill them for their horns, Chinese medicine is the worst at killing animals for their stupid ingredients.
🥺"Its not a bond based on reward. Its a bond that just is." What an amazing bond with such a majestic animal! The way she grabbed his hand with her trunk was very sweet too. Very cool video & relationship!
It makes perfect sense of the welcome. You’re family to her. Family get upset at each other but we still love each other. We miss things that get on our nerves. Distance does make the heart grow fonder. And elephants are social and very intelligent with excellent memory.
A bond based on *LOVE!*
OK, I've my quota of tears for the day!
Thanks for sharing the love.
I don't think I've ever been greeted by a human with that much love.
What a beautiful thought. Never had that thought but it is true. I’ve always felt when an animal chooses you that is the biggest compliment. From Diane
I visited an orphanage once, and the kids were so bright and cheerful and warm in welcoming me, I wondered how those kids can be so happy.
You must have had a sad life then
@@Ienteredmynamecorrectly-lt3nu apparently so.
I cant think of a more special bond. Breathtakingly beautiful, as I wipe the tears from my face....
69th like AWLRIGHT
unrelated, but isn't that- isn't your profile pic the flower that smells like death?
@@neonblkhole Yes. Been growing them for years. I'm a weirdo.😆
Imagine being so loved ❤ wow ... This is real heaven
You must have lived a sad life if you need to imagine that
this is how elephants should be, in the wild, free, no scars not brutalized, ALL animals should be, absolutely beautiful, absolutely free and beautiful
The Elephant is so beautiful❤ Edit: Thanks so much for the likes💓 Kham La truly is wonderful
Yes☺
@@jeffking4102you are too ❤
Made my cry. I love animals so much. I wish everyone could appreciate how special animals are. I can't imagine a world without them . . . even the ones I'm kind of scared of!
I wish everyone cared about animals and were kind to them.. all of them deserve safety and health and happiness, I am so grateful there are people who care and help them
Thank you all for caring about animals! May God bless us all!
Elephants are beautiful, intelligent and have long memories, that's why she runs to him.
Sir, you earned that special kind of love from the most beautiful, gentle-giants in the world.
Seeing her grab his hand with her trunk 💖💖💖💖💖💖
That is so sweet how she came to you and the other Elephants come to. ❤😊
Hands up who else has had to wipe away the tears before writing? This guy has what can only be described as a magical friendship with Kamla. Kamla not only choose Darrick to be her friend, but also brought along her family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you for sharing this beautiful clip. Long may your precious friendship with Kamla continue. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
She loves you, she didn’t know where you’d gone, she must have been so happy to hear you call her name again 🐘 🥹🥲
One of the best posts! We need more of their story. Truly amazing extraordinary bond!!!
brought a tear to my eye
Same
Same.
The way she rescued him from the river was beautiful.
I always loved elephants and wanted to be with them since a child, growing up on Tarzan, Sabu Of The Jungle and other animal films showed me how special, intelligent, loyal and emotional they are. The abusers, poachers, exploiters have a warm place in hell waiting for them. Thank you for this video. Children have very few programs for them that show about animals and teach that you can have relations of love and care with them that lasts a lifetime.
Beau.ti.ful.❤ Kham-La!!
Animals are so WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elephants are great. They never forget KINDNESS!!!!
How wonderful it must be to be loved and protected by elephants.
this brought tears to my eyes 😭 so precious
Yessss.❤
I am so stunned and humbled by this beautiful relationship. How any human could think that any animal is less than human, less than worthy of love, inferior in any way, just astounds me. Bless
people can be so blind when they want to be :/
Yes....animals are the humane ones
Sponges, jellyfish, clams. My doctrine is if you don't pay human taxes you don't get human rights.
@@shecreates365I love animals, but let’s be real. Animals can also be predators. You wouldn’t want to walk up to a wild pack of elephants you didn’t know. This delusional take that they’re all humane is just dishonest.
@@Ienteredmynamecorrectly-lt3nu The word “scum” comes to mind.
Animals are Earth Healers. I won't lie, I cried watching this video, it was so touching. I love animals so much.
Earth-healers? Elephants can devastate the vegetation in an area with how much they need to eat. Male elephants can be quite aggressive and kill other animals just because they want to. They're fascinating, majestic creatures, but let's not get goofy about it.
@@sciencecompliance235 smiles
Can't say enough about how heart-warming it is to see this kind of bonding between animals and humans based on familiarity and trust. These type of bonds that can arise so effortlessly are a constant reminder to us humans as to how we should be towards each other.
Elephants are such magnificent animals. So intelligent, emotional and gentle…especially considering their size. Just beautiful creatures❤
This was absolutely beautiful!!! Animals are superior to us in many ways and we should thank God for them every day! I pray they have many years to share together!!!
You have to be one of the most blessed men on the planet, how wonderful for you all!
What an absolutely beautiful relationship
We should all learn from animals what it means to be loving, loyal and unselfish.❤
Hey, it’s Darrick!!! I love watching his videos when he calls Kham-La. It never gets old. He adores those elephants. ❤❤
What is his channel?

Animals truly may be too pure for us humans.
This is so beautiful and magical ❤🐘🐾
Along with their friendship, I find it beautiful that she was thanked in the credits.
How incredible. It breaks my heart that elephants are killed so pointlessly for their tusks, we really need them around to make the world a magical place.
One more reason to save elephanths from explotation.❤🙏🏻🐘
Elephants tend to have great memory... When the guy left for 14 months, the elephant was surely missing him and even might have thought he died or something... That thought makes me sad. But I am glad they were united again... That's sweet
That was literally the most amazingly beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, 68 years
Oh my heart! 10 days is where the hell have you been? I'm not talking to you! A year is thank god I thought you were dead!
That elephant absolutely loves him!
Elephants are very smart and loving to the right people
@@davidgreg6907Spam Bot alert! Get off UA-cam Loser!
I hope this man knows how lucky he is. To have an elephant love you this much is the honor of a lifetime. I would spend as much time with her as a could.
Animals have feelings !!!
So beautiful, to have such incredible animals as friends is priceless. I love elephants, they're so intelligent and so soulful.
Animal love is so much more compassionate than human love
ANIMALS ARE THE ONLY BEINGS THAT TRULY LOVE
How, @2:30 and on, Kham La closes her eyes...you can just _feel_ her love for this human.
Oh, my heart. What a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for sharing this.
I've been donating what I can every year to this incredible sanctuary, ever since I first saw a video of Lek and a group of volunteers doing a rescue of an elephant being turned over from one of those "elephant riding" operations.
The one thing I will always do, in any situation where the topic of elephants comes up, is to always encourage others to _never_ support industries that are so abusive to animals. In the case of elephants, that would be Circuses, logging, and the aforementioned "riding" camps.
Same reasons to advocate against so-called "factory farming" practices.
The love they give and only ask for nothing back.x
Happy elephant squeaks are so delightful! Such beautiful creatures ❤😊
Such big, gentle creatures. They're so smart. I hate that people are so cruel to them.😡😥
the way she holds his hand with her trunk that is the cutest thing I have ever seen :')
Oh what a dream! I was privileged enough to be able to go to a sanctuary where I was able to have personal interactions with some very beautiful elephants. It was amazing, it brought me to tears. It was such a gift. I thanked them all and hugged one. What a gift! I can’t even imagine the joy he must feel in his heart when he sees those beauties run toward him.
The power of being accepted by wild animals is just something else, nothing can really beat the overwhelming feeling that gives you and words is not enough to describe it.
We often talk about people being blessed, this is one of those blessed people who got to have a connection not many get to experience.
Elephants have always been one of my favorite animals because they’re so empathic and intelligent. The bonds they have among themselves are so fascinating. It’s so awesome that they let this guy into their family. ❤❤
I love all animals. I wish we lived in a world where humans never hurt them. We would all be so much better for it.
Beautiful. ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET
These animal beings have the gift of sight they see a humans soul for what it is ❤❤❤😊
She is your special person and she loves you and will always be there for you to keep you safe, my God what a bond between you now that’s special 👍👍👍
Oh my goodness 😍🥹💗😁😎🥰💖😍💖 this is sooooooo precious and adorable 🥰🤩🥹💗😍💖🥰 thanks for sharing ❣️...
I cried when they all were happy flapping their ears at the reunion
What joy there is in elephant-love… Like so many others have commented…I just find myself crying. How wonderful to have a bond like that with one or more of those majestic beings.💝. I really am envious….
Elephants are so intelligent and cute I just love them !
I've witnessed this in person and it's real and beyond beautiful. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful and gifted guy!! I love elephants but haven't gone to a zoo for many years because I do not like to see captive animal souls. I would love to visit a sanctuary some day.
How simple and natural these animals are ... No cunningness, no jealousy, no competition to earn bread in this world
¡Apoyemos a Derrick, Lek y a toda la familia humana en su trabajo diario con estos majestuosos elefantes y sus otros rescatados! 💞💞💞
Brother from another mother❤
Oh my goodness, that's such a beautiful relationship! I love elephants!!! 🥰
You can tell the content of his character by the way they all respond.
Good on this man.
Love, respect, trust, friendship and kindness
I’m trying to imagine their reunion from the elephant’s perspective - you make friends with this tiny little critter who’s even smaller than a baby, who isn’t very good at swimming so you have to save him sometimes, and he has a special call when he sees you. But one day he disappears and doesn’t come back, way past the times he usually turned back up. Did something happen? Did he get swept away by the river? But then one day…you hear his distinctive call again! He found his way home to you! It reminds me of videos of people being reunited with a long-lost pet: such disbelief and joy!
No greater reward than trust
How could anyone murder these majestic anipals? Intelligent, beautiful and human like creatures.
I am soooooooo envious. I try not to be, but that's my biggest wish is to "be" amongst the beautiful gentle giants. Love ❤
