Check in With Elephant Bull, Fishan & Carer Owen
Following his bout of colic and what we think were tired muscles after a day of vigorous mud-bathing, Fishan is feeling much better. He is only challenged now by the usual winter cold that makes his joints somewhat stiffer. He is on medication to assist with this, and monitored closely every day. Here Adine shares insight into a laser treatment idea suggested by a follower.
It is July Bonus Day on 10 July - a GlobalGiving matching fundraiser for which we are honouring Fishan and welcoming supporters to help Fishan through donations that will be matched by GlobalGiving. We will share the link to this campaign on 10 July. Only donations of $100 and up will be matched.

Four-year-old Albino Elephant Khanyisa Still Needs Her Mothers!
Просмотров 138 тыс.7 часов назад
Khanyisa may be turning 5 years of age in September this year, but she still needs her mothers 💕 She finds herself all alone in the bush with the females far from her as she forages, perhaps with her head in the clouds (or bushes) somewhat, before realising her herd aren’t there. She lets out big rumbles and makes a clear show to her family that she is upset about this. Her mothers and sisters ...
An Emotional Moment as the Herd Gather at the Orphanage Without Phabeni
Просмотров 119 тыс.9 часов назад
An unusual event took place as Tokwe, Lundi and some of the other elephants headed to the orphanage to find out where Phabeni was. Normally the herd walk in the opposite direction into the bush for their day of roaming. Matriarch Tokwe led the elephants (and Owen). Elephants are incredibly intelligent animals and know when something is wrong. It is an emotional moment as Tokwe and the herd no d...

By Adine Roode: herd.org.za/blog/a-sad-day-as-little-fighter-phabeni-passes-away-at-11-months-old/ We were thinking of ways to celebrate Phabeni’s one year in July. Little did we know that he would never reach his first birthday. For the past 7 months, it has been an up-and-down struggle with Phabeni, gaining weight, losing weight, taking bottles, leaving bottles. For the last week, Phabeni ski...

Sparring was the common theme at the homestead on this evening. Jabulani and Lundi begin sparring on one side of the homestead, with Zindoga and Bubi soon joining in. It was a lively evening filled with playful energy and bonding.
The Carers' POV of an Elephant Swim 🐘💦
Просмотров 30 тыс.21 час назад
Carer Last perfectly captures how it feels to witness the elephants swim - a blend of beauty and chaos. The elephants are not too keen on sharing their waterhole with a large herd of buffalo. Pisa and Lundi quickly take care of the situation, while the rest of the elephants enjoy a relaxing swim.

Elephant Bull Fishan Suffers Colic While Out in the Bush
Просмотров 25 тыс.День назад
Our team noticed Fishan acting out of character in the bush recently, while the herd were out walking and foraging. The big bull had found a quiet corner to lie down in. When Fishan is tired in the bush he will usually have a rest while standing, perhaps leaning against a tree. But here he was lying down. We could see he was in some discomfort and pain and considered what to do next. We provid...

Khanyisa's story began under challenging circumstances. Found trapped in a poacher's snare, she was rescued and brought to the HERD orphanage. She arrived frail and traumatised, but with dedicated care and support, she began to recover. Khanyisa's healing was helped by Tokwe, who took on the role of an allomother, and Lundi, who became her adoptive mother. Their nurturing and care made Khanyisa...
The Elephants React to a Massive Buffalo Herd at the Waterhole

Elephant Carer, Last captured an amazing moment at the waterhole recently as the elephants in our herd came across a massive herd of a different kind… buffalo. So many buffalo! Watch how the herd react and move in. Even though the elephants are outnumbered, they win the waterhole negotiation, as the more intimidating and largest land mammal in the reserve.

Join Owen and Adine for an update on two teenage bulls in the herd, Mambo and Zindoga. Born two years apart, the bulls are coming to an age where they will form a closer bond and learn from the dominant bulls in the herd. As they mature, they are developing key skills and behaviours to see them through life.
Baby Elephant Phabeni is Surrounded by the Huddle of His New Family
Просмотров 62 тыс.14 дней назад
You can frequently see African elephants creating a wall of protection around the smallest and most vulnerable in their herd when they sense danger or a threat. They are truly the best bodyguards. Elephants have been seen to do this around a pregnant female in their herd as she gives birth and predators loom closely, such as hyena. Watch in this video as the herd huddle around Phabeni on severa...
Sleepy Evenings at the Elephant Homestead with Lundi, Mambo and Jabulani 🐘
Просмотров 39 тыс.14 дней назад
Catch up with Lundi, Mambo and Jabulani as the trio have a lazy night at the homestead. Elephants have interesting sleeping patterns, as they do not need a solid 8 - 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep like we do. Instead, they have short 1 - 2 hour naps throughout the night and spend the rest of the time eating, drinking and interacting with each other.

Garden Sunsets with Baby Elephant, Phabeni 🐘
I’m so sorry for your loss of this great little bull. He was such a character. He helped me smile and laugh while watching his little antics. 🙏🏼💞🙏🏼💞🙏🏼💞 Many prayers for handlers and heard to deal with this loss 😢 😢 I can’t believe he’s gone he was doing so well.
What a little TROOPER TINY PHABENI IS😂🐘💚🥰 Them tiny legs + body keeping up with HIS HERD is just AMAZING👍👏💯 HE SO LOVED HIS HERD + Being in the BUSH🌳💦🥰 HIS LARGER THAN LIFE PERSONALITY Will SURELY BE MISSED BY ALL😢🐘💚👱♀️👩🌾👨🌾🐑💔 But WHAT FOND + PRECIOUS MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON❣️❣️💙🐘💚🙏💞
Sending prayers and love to all the staff, Setombe, and the elephant herd.
Good by Pabani ,my heart is aching about poor baby , May her soul rest in peace. Thank you all who are loking after Pabeni & the doctors who struggle with Pabeni .May God bless you & give you strength & wisdom to look after these innocent animals.
Setombe, sweet girl. We mourn with you. We will be with you in this very difficult moment.
I wonder how Asian elephants handle teething. If further observation of African elephants has not revealed yet how wild herds deal with teething calves, perhaps Asian elephants might provide an answer?
We, at home, have the ability to grieve Phabeni’s passing in private. It’s easy to forget those who work and care for the ellies have others to care for, and have no time to grieve really. You are all remarkable people, please know your hard work and devotion is greatly appreciated. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🇺🇸
Maybe the milk was bad from this surrogate elephant. Maybe that is what caused the little one to get an intestinal problem.
He had a virus? Did you do blood work. Small intestine inflamed? it sounds suspicious.
❤
I don’t like to see them hurt ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is his leg alright all from love 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
😥💔💜🐘💜
I love little Phabeni so much & I wanted to foster him, I am celebrating my birthday this month on 20 July but this news broke my heart. 😢
If our homosapien communities moved like this..and used our "trunks" to smack our young back into their positions of safety when they went left to thuggery and rebellious criminal activity...😮🥺😖🙌
Thank you Adine and Owen. Fishan must have pain due to the weight causing so much pressure on his leg. Your hard work and dedication for his healing will surely pay off. Sending lots of love to HERD family as usual. ❤
This is soooooo sad, there are no words, just a broken ❤️
I hope fishan leg,gets better.❤️🐘
I send my much love to my African elephants friends,God bless them everyday,an the good Africans that take good care of them.🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos. They are very peaceful. You and your carers are exceptional people and are very special. The love and care you share with these beautiful elephants is such an amazing thing to see (and feel) as it shines through your videos. Thank you for sharing. God Bless you all. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sry on any loss of an animal or human,sending all my loves to you and to your crew and to the elephant family.
Do they know the little one is gone????😢😢😢
He was sooo adorable❤😢😢😢
Wow, she's got spunk
Khanyisa is a very special young lady who has a big heart, love and a will to live.
He was adorable😢😢😢
Do You Think They Saw Adine Was Injured , or They Smelled The Injury ??
Reminds me of the fake catholic president
I feel badly for Lammie. Theirs was a special bond. I hope he (or she) made new friends.
Destroyed by humans Thank you for loving this baby Soon there won’t be any wild animals left or earth where there isn’t human destruction and pollution Please go ethical vegan to save the animals and earth 🩸🌱
Is Khanyisa an orphan? What is the blue pint that is on her? I just found this channel, so I will ask some dumb questions. Is she blind? She is adorable. For those who see this for the first time, can you tell us her back story?
I’m upset that they don’t save mom’s elephant milk by freezing it until ready to use for sick babies. And stop cutting the babies tusk! Let it grow. If there is an infection then sterilize the infection and let it heal with natural herbs.
Hippos are no joke but also no match for this lady much less any elephant in fact nothing is.
Were they not able to see his body? Would it not give them closure? I just saw why you didn’t.
Have you had the dirt sprayed on you❤😊
Oh no no no I’m so very sorry! You all must be devastated! And the ellies! 😭😭😭. Praying for Gods peace and comfort for you all.
Hard to watch right yet. I’m hurt over the loss still.
Ouch 😢
All that and he isnt even getting milk
KUMBURA is SUCH a LOVELY + LOVING GIRL😊💞🐘💚🥰 Her EXCEPTIONAL CONCERN For + NEED To PROTECT The YOUNGSTERS/BABIES Is to be ADMIRED!! Especially When You take into Consideration HER YOUNG AGE👍👏💯🥰❣️ Ich LIEBE Dich SEHR Kumbura❤️💚🐘 You are a VERY SPECIAL ELLIE + We're SO PROUD of YOU + SO LUCKY To HAVE YOU as ONE of OUR OWN💚🐘👩🌾👨🌾🐑🙏
Bittersweet watching these interactions with the herd but so glad he got to be with the other 🐘
Good to hear recovery
How very very heartbreaking. You tried so hard and did absolutely everything you could do. I’m so sorry.
3:00 poor thing is sooooo thirsty
Sebakwe is in for it once Jabu gets older
Thanks!
22:35 clearly still starving
Love seeing Phabeni walking and feeding with the herd. Thanks so much for what you’ll do there. God will bless you for it. 🙏❤️
