A HERD Hero, Never Forgotten | Elephant Carer, Kenneth Shambira

Today we say farewell to a cherished team member, elephant carer, friend, and father, Kenneth Shambira. Born in Zimbabwe, Kenneth was part of our family, helping to look after the elephants at HERD since 2009. When he started in our team, he had no experience with elephants. Our team took him under their wing as a learner and taught him everything they knew about elephants. He was a natural and...
A Weigh-in for Baby Elephant Phabeni Before Khanyisa Arrives to Pick Him Up
zhlédnutí 132KPřed 7 hodinami
We are so glad to see the numbers rising on Phabeni's scale, even if they are slow and small. Weight gain is weight gain! Little by little, the bull is gaining and now stands at 165 kilograms. He is drinking most of his goat milk bottles, usually leaving one bottle each day, but drinking the rest. This contributes to better energy. He is eating well, including fruit and vegetables at the orphan...

Adine and the carers take a walk through the reserve to search for the elephants. They first encounter an unusual trio - Jabulani, Sebakwe, and Somopane. Although these bulls usually enjoy solitude, today they share a peaceful moment with Sebakwe resting his head on Jabulani. Navigating through the thorny bushes, Adine finds the youngsters Mambo, Pisa, Khanyisa, and Timisa. Little Phabeni makes...

Happy moments at the orphanage, with Phabeni and the gang! Today that includes sheep buddies, Lammie and Spotty who come in for a close photo bomb and sniff, as well as carer Khensani and Adine! Adine tries to catch up on work in her laptop but Phabeni finds her and the tyre chair too enticing to leave alone. Adine gives in and indulges the little bull in a sand bath.

    I would give anything to take a morning stroll with all the babies! Such beauty in there ways. I love how family oriented they are, as well as their memory. It always makes my day, night, whatever when I get my notifications from HERD. ❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘

    My experience with following HERD has been everything I want out of watching how it comes to be for the babies (big & small) . How they actually are in their natural environment and under the awesome care and watchful eyes of the caregivers, and Adine. It gives my heart pure joy and I get to watch baby Phabeni thrive and grow.. Blessings to all, and especially those at HERD. ❤🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘

    There’s nothing like a new video of the HERD to warm the heart and put a smile on your face. The nurturing and acceptance of Khanyisa was so amazing to watch and now we get a seat to watch how little Phabeni is finding his role and place within the herd. Thanks to Adine and staff for sharing these amazing moments with the world.

    From being the baby integrated to the herd, now she is one of the youngsters making Baby Phabeni feel welcomed in the herd. Khanyisa has really changed so much, in the best way, not just in size, but in personality as well. I will never get tired of thanking you again and again for doing the beautiful work that you do.

    The thought about how massively large and powerful elephants are, and then how loud their collective trumpeting is, & then seeing just how genuinely quiet & calm they usually are...Most times as herds are out browsing or grazing in the grasslands, the only sound you can usually hear is the snapping of branches & their chewing...From one extreme to the other as they use low-frequency sounds while they're eating & content...

    Elephants sometimes called the gardeners of the land, pruning and spurring new growth, turning the soil, making pathways for other creatures, stirring up insects for the birds, returning every unused nutrient to the earth.

    God loves all his creations. It is the responsibility of all humans to shepherd the mysteries we do not fully understand in all creatures and respect life in all forms. Thus, I am always amazed at those that believe everything was created to be subjugated by humans, that has our destruction built into living on that premise.
