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

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

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

So nice to see the wild elephants looking healthy and strong 🐘

Respect and patience with the neighbors is a very good policy. Grateful this all went so well. 🐘

Thank you for letting us see the wild elephants. They are beautiful. Much love.

Wow that was amazing Adine. First Bulls 🐘 then Cows 🐘🐘and then back to Bulls 🐘 and all wild. They truly were not stressed by you being there but they all were secreting. So close to the homestead. Thank you Adine for sharing this with us.❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

Thanks for taking us on that ride, Adine. I felt safe with you 👍🏼

Nice to see Adine stop and chat with the locals. Interesting observations as to why they were disturbed. Thanks 😊

This young bull is beautiful and healthy looking. I pray the wild ones stay safe. Thank you Adine and all the caregivers for doing all you can to keep these animals safe and healthy😍

Thanks for sharing your morning wild elephant encounters, I can only dream of experiencing a bit of the wonderful life you have there.

You are a elephant whisperer. I love how those wild elephants felt safe because of your energy. I wonder what stressed them out earlier.

Precious lives ❤️ we have to protect and respect them and all animals. Thanks very much again Adine 🌹🌹🌹

Thank you for your vedios. When I am gloomy, I always watch your adorable elephants. They are precious and very smart.❤🎉😊

Despite spending all day with elephants, Adine still gets excited about the wild ones. So glad she has not lost her sense of wonder.

Beautiful shots of beautiful elephants! Love the young cow who trumpets. Love to hear that! Thanks, Adine ! 🐘

Thank you for sharing. I wish the best for that herd and their circumstances. They are all so beautiful and lovely to see.

Even the wild herds respect you, Adine. They somehow know your love for them and for our HERD. I believe this is communicated between them.

Thanks for sharing Adine ❤ beautiful animals ❤️

Adine is an elephant whisperer 🐘🐘❤

Absolutely my favourite animal (dnt tell my cats), what a stunning journey Adine, oh the young Mama was very stressed, and handled beautifully, the Elephants are magnigicent 💚

Good morning everybody. Its 5.30am in Malaysia now. Its so relax to watch the ellies in the morning. To hear them rumbles and eating. The eyes so cool to see and beautiful.

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

Its amazing how they do that considering the size of those big ol feet they got but its as if they walking on carpet not making a sound I love elephants

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

Word got around that Aldine loves her Ellie’s,elephant communication,lol😊

Wonderful 😊. Thanks very much Adine 🌹🌹🌹

That was a very interesting interaction with the wild herd. They did not seem bothered by the vehicles.

How lovely to see such a healthy looking wild herd. But my only concern is their lack of fear of vehicles and people .....

Beautiful elephants.

that would have made my heart beat a kittle faster. Good job staying calm in this entire interaction, Adine

Adine they weren't stressed at all. The secretions were because they were excited that you were in their midst. You are a Rockstar to them🥰

Wow, they are very close to the homestead. I hope they are safe from whatever frightened them.❤🐘

These wild elephants look very healthy and have perfect ears. May they stay safe from poachers and others who want to harm elephants. Very grateful for all Adine and the carers do for those who were hurt or abandoned. ❤❤❤

That was a bit scary to me 😅 So cool that they seem to "understand" Adine`s comforting and friendly words!

I enjoy all of your videos, yet this one is so special because it is a rare view of the “wild” elephants. What a treasure! Thank you so much for sharing this!

I have so enjoyed seeing the ‘Herd’ elephants but also the wild ones you happened upon ! Iv learned so much regarding behaviors.. & how these wild elephants behave as compared to your Herd. Also very interesting how young wild bulls that aren’t part of a herd.. stay around other herds but don’t bred with them. It’s all -SO-interesting. Thank you again.. so much for filming all these episodes ! 👍👌👍❤️🌷

Imagine encountering a herd of wild elephants on your way to work in the morning. Amazing. All elephants seem to like something about Adine's voice! She speaks elephant!

Adine is demonstrating her deep understanding of elephant behavior...I did not realize how important those temporal gland secretions are

I bet they know near Herd is a safe place. ❤

Wow, they are really hitting the salad buffet hard….must be primo tasting grass.

Glad you speak ELEPHANT and have nerves of steel 😮

I wish both herds could co-exist in peace and forge together. It will be far safer for the wild herd❤

Wonder what had them alarmed. Adine has such a calm, respectful and understanding way of interacting with them. It’s amazing to me that I can actually “tell” the difference between this herd and the Jabulani herd. That they are healthy, albeit stressed, is comforting.

Glad those wild elephants are ok with you in the middle of their herd. Beautiful !

You are very brave Adine. I stopped breathing for a while.

Adine your living the best life. Stay safe ❤

Wow, what a handsome, healthy, young bull! He looks flawless, as if painted ❤

I look exactly like that when I'm stress eating.

What a handsome boy!! I think they know where you came from. What a blessing to see the wild herd!

Maybe they're stressed, because they steel apples in the neighbors garden😋 which would proof, Elephants have a conscience 😁

Fantastic video❤

Our very brave Adine. God Bless her. 💕🇺🇸

Hallo Adine and all elephantcheerers......love what you are doing. Though the two encounters we've had with confrontational elephants, "easy, easy" did not work at all. Fortunately they have been "confrontational" with each other, and stormed past our vehicle with more or less 2 inches to spare......and they sneaked up on us.......lovely day.

One word. Thankyou 👍

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

Thank you for sharing this. It was very interesting watching the wild herd acting with Adine. ❤

Impressive to see so many healty wild elephants, but als youre calm acting around them. I know you have experience with the Jabulani herd but When i was in youre place, i do not know what i should do. 😂

I freely admit my heart was in my throat watching this. You have nerves of steel, Adine!

I'm all the way over here in Tx 🙏& hoping 2 things; Aldine stays safe & we get to see the set of twin 🐘🐘s❗😝✌❤

I was a long time away. But see this video and shall be donate. I mis the Herd very much and you Adine and Carers.

Vous êtes courageux, et vous savez vous adapter à leur comportement à chacun. La liberté pour eux et pas les zoos

Amazing footage of a wild herd

🫶🐘💚🐘They knew, 🐘🐘🌿🐘that Adine, knows, the high alert threat, had passed and they had reassurance from Adine’s calming influence 🐘✨🐘💞

Il video è bellissimo e tu cara Adine sei la donna che sussurra, che parla, dialoga e sa calmare gli elephants con la voce suadente!!!! E loro??? Gli elephants selvaggi ???? Ti stanno a sentire!!! Che meraviglia umana che sei Adine!

I believe its their land, and we humans with our roads, our population explosion, our taking and taking from wildlife causes them great stress. This is a beautiful herd of wild elephants having to navigate roads in their home. They secreted, but we don't know why. I think human smells stress them.

Amazing seeing the wild elephants. Given the choice, I'd rather navigate the elephants than traffic 🥰 Such an amazing sight.

Everything is so green! Lots of lovely food for elephants. 💜💜💜🐘

Adine corajosa, fiquei tremendo 😲😢😲😲

You know they've heard yours and the caretakers voices before. Very smart!

So they are affected by other Herd Families, highly Social and Intelligent.

What a beautiful group. I hope the area gives them food. Whatever happen hope is over.

The grass looks good!

Amazing footage. And it's so wonderful to see the lush, green foliage!

That was tense! Not because of the wild herd, I knew Dr. A could cope, but I was afraid a poacher or something as sinister was ahead. Glad it was well ❤

awwww what a sweeet moment with all the wild elephants adine i would do anything to be in your shoes as a wildlifew lover and for conservation i know i would love it have a blessed day hugs to my babies love yu phabeni

Wow, the wild herd was literally at HERDS front door!! Adine, were you alone in the vehicle? Have you ever driven that road at night?

Gracias ADINE Interesante explicación acerca del comportamiento de ésta y otros enormes elefantes está muy robusta muy bien cuidada Usted siempre atenta 🙏

The wild ellies didn’t run away from or charge at Adine because she smells of the Jabulani herd from head to toe.🐘😊 So they know she’s a friend and not a foe.😎❤❤❤

Beautiful adventure with al these beautiful, magnificent wild Ellies ❤

Un encuentro excitante y misterioso. Decididamente, Adine es una susurradora maravillosa. Tal vez seria interesante solicitar a los guardas de la reserva que estén alerta porque no es normal que toda la manada salvaje sufra estres segregando sus glándulas. No es normal, algún peligro les ha alterado.

They are so beautiful thank you Adine for sharing these beautiful elephants please send more be blessed and stay safe 🎉😂❤

Why the stressing? Could there be poachers in the area? I hate when they stress🥴

That's got to be the best commute to work! Thanks for sharing, Adine, and for the explanations about their behaviour, fascinating as always 🙏❤🐘❤

It seems like the wild herd and the Jabulani herd stress each other out by their scents. This isn't the first time wild elephants have been near HERD. I think they tried to get through a fence. Tokwe is particularly sensitive to the wild herd as if they are a threat. She has chased them and tried to kidnap a wild baby. And they most definitely know about her.
