Orphaned baby elephants Khanyisa and Fenya meet for the first time🥰

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Cute little trunks of curiosity as Khanyisa and Fenya meet🥰!
We were unsure what to expect when Khanyisa and Fenya met trunk to trunk! We were also unsure when the right time would be, but wanted it to be as natural as possible. This lengthy video captures some of the highlights of their exchanges over the past few days.
Khanyisa started to hang around outside Fenya's (the new calf in our care, who like Khanyisa, survived being caught in a snare) nursery, the day after she arrived. But she seemed a bit shy.
The next day Joshua took a moment using a marula fruit and guided her towards the door opening where Fenya was standing behind. She poked her sweet little pink trunk through the hole and was met with another curious trunk! The trunks danced around one another briefly, and then Khanyisa entered the nursery.
They were both extremely calm and relaxed and Khanyisa stretched her trunk over to her to smell her. Adine and the team let them be, keeping it relaxed and easy - and soon Khanyisa decided it was time to leave.
Over the next few days, Khanyisa has slowly become a bit more comfortable with her new neighbour. Some mornings she makes an effort and others not so much! But you will see some very sweet moments shared between them, and Lammie too!
For the time being, we are keeping Fenya in the nursery as she is still getting used to her surroundings, and her wounds are a concern, especially her one by her throat which has a big gaping hole, which could get easily infected. We also have to be 100% sure that she is comfortable with her carers and Khanyisa, as she could hurt them if she gets startled or scared. Remembering the immense trauma she has been through, these things have to be considered.
Adine would like to have the two calves together in the bigger nursery when the time is right. For now, Fenya needs to heal and get good sleep and rest without distraction, until she gets her strength up.
Khanyisa continues to go into the wild with the herd during the day. She did have a bout of diarrhea two days after Fenya arrived, but thankfully it cleared up quite quickly. This could be due to all the changes and possible stress of change, but it is hard to tell. Overall Khanyisa has handled arrival of the new orphan quite well, however, she has had a few moments, being a little stand-offish with Adine, which is most likely due to jealousy. She is not used to sharing Adine's attention!
We really look forward to sharing their budding friendship and hopefully, a sisterly bond grows too, starting with this lengthy video showing you some of the highlights of their budding relationship💚.

    No wonder little Fenya didn't make it. She looks so thin and gaunt here. Its hard to watch this, knowing that no matter how much they did to help her, medically and emotionally, she didn't have a chance. God Bless this little girl in heaven. ❤

    Yes, they feel a great deal of emotion and they don't forget. It'll take a lot of love and care to get her not just physically, but emotionally well again. She isn't as young as baby Khanysia, so it might take a little longer. And it might not. She's made a long of progress in a very short time so I'm optimistic that she is going to be ok and will be outside enjoying her days with her new Herd very soon. :)

It wouldn't be Fenya's fault, because she is scared and traumatized and all these elephants and humans are new to her. It would be the humans' fault for putting them together too soon. Adine and the HERD carers are doing the absolute best thing for everyone by introducing them slowly and keeping them both safe from possible harm. They are experts at this! And Adine has a magical touch with baby elephants :) I understand how you feel, though. Makes my heart hurt thinking what these babies have been through, and Fenya's trauma is still very, very fresh.

    Yes I could see a little of the jealousy emotion starting with k when Adine had her arm outstretched to Fenya over the top bar but that is natural and to be expected until they get used to each other. It is likely that K will sense and smell (the antibiotic cream on the wounds)and the trauma of F and it may bring back the memories of trauma possibly accounting for K's unsettled tummy. They say elephants never forget and I believe this. So far they are both progressing well and I am feeling that their relationship will be strong in time! All thanks to HERD and the time and effort they spend with these beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing.....I was waiting for this and it was amazing. God bless you all😇🙏🕊🌼🌸🌻

    I also think it might have been stress-induced diarrhea. I sensed when khanyisa pulled away that the sight and smell of the trauma & antibiotics might have triggered those memories and she got emotional.

    Fenya reaching out to Lammie with her trunk was most amazing to me. Lammie had made no real effort to interact with Fenya, just standing by quietly. At first I thought that Fenya had not even noticed Lammie. Fenya's trunk reaching out to Lammie totally surprised me!

I imagine introducing Fenya to the family has its challenges as she is 2.5 years old and has experienced so much trauma in her short life. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. I am hoping that in the months to come, I will learn more about the behavior of elephants and how intricate the balance is for HERD. Time for me to research.

Hopefully little Fenya's physical wounds heal quickly. The herd will help them both with their emotional ones. I thank each and every one of you for the commitment you have in healing and reintegrating these amazing creatures.

    Unbelievably amazing encounters we were all waiting for. Khanyisa is confident though cautious, Fenya is rowdy coming from the wild and in her special circumstances, having pain maybe though less and still in distress. What a beautiful case to be studied for years to come. When the allomothers see her, wow, praying they will all accept her. Little by little, one day at a time. You know exactly what to do.

  • @ronnegold7133

    I think it is so cute that Khanysia visits Fenya in the am and then goes off to Bush with the herd. As soon as Fenya heals they will run off to their family together. Although baby K seemed a little timid at first, I think each day will be better. I loved the way Fenya reached out and touched L ammie. I think we all want this integration to happen quickly but I know it is best for everyone humans and Ellie's alike to be patient. TY for the update.🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘😍🐑
