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.
The one thing that stands out to me from this video is this: at least in/on HERD lands, there always WILL be water holes with water in them. So other animals can circle back to the water and there will always be some for them. Which is certainly not the case everywhere else. Thank you HERD and supporters for this wonderful gift to the animals.🥰🙏🕊
I was thinking that too. HERD territory is safe where it counts most: from humans. It allows for all “beings” to strut their stuff. 😊
Oh Pisa our independent free spirit firecracker girl always making sure her family is first at the waterhole telling those buffalo 🐃 off so they know who’s really in charge lol. I love moments like this just seeing the herd enjoying their wild home together it’s so peaceful and good for the soul,as always HERD thank you for sharing.☀️🌈💦🩶🐘🌳🧡🤗
The sound of trumpeting elephants never gets old!
And did you hear the buffalo moo? 😊
@@terryheatwole6153 I was distracted by the trumpeting and my roommate was asleep so I was fighting the volume control button valiantly and missed it lol.
Strength in numbers doesn’t always work in your favor when encountering a herd of Elephants, even if that herd is smaller. Elephants rule the land. Patience is what will keep the Buffalo safe. In other words, step back guys & wait your turn. Again. Pisa, what a little stormtrooper! ❤
It is cool how the herd only chases the buffalo from the edge of the water, they let them wait in the background. It's a lovely herd of buffalo too! 💚
What a wonderful reminder of what life is all about. Buffalo and Ellie’s at the waterhole with the beautiful bush all around them
Pisa is the hero of the day for me! Good girl, Pisa, you are very brave!💖🎖🐘🍀🌹🌊
Sebakwe, masive strength, calmly saunders toward bufflo. Without trumpeting, communicates: "Everybody just slowly move back, and no one gets hurt."
Good morning to everyone! Look at all my big and small babies ❤️🐘❤️🐘 I hope everyone is well today, elephants and caregivers alike! Have a great day too ❤️🐘🌞
I love following on Facebook too! I can't get enough of HERD! ❤❤
Brave brave little Pisa! Good girl!
Wow. First time I see so many buffalo at the water.
The dynamics of the HERD in their environment is always a wonder to watch! thank you for sharing Much Love
Yes they are!❤️
Thank you for sharing the tug-of-war action at the water hole. Buffalo are saying “ Okey everybody it’s time to move on!” Blessings always to all of you! ❤️🙏😊✝️
Well said❤️
That is a very large group of Buffalo 🐃. It didn't take them long to move out of the way when the Jabulani HERD 🐘 moved in and use intimidation to get their way. Thank you Last for a great video showing just how persuasive our Jabulani HERD 🐘 can be. Have a great day Jabulani HERD 🐘. Love from Florida.❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
I’m feeling some empathy for the buffalo herd as well. I hope they will linger until our elephants are finished. They have babies too. ❤
They get the water, just after the elephants
Every animal needs some water.❤
100% agree. I'm sure they were able to drink eventually. Perhaps the Herd are being super-protective with little FabPhab in their midst. I'm glad it was resolved relatively calmly. How sad that our so-called "evolved" species resort to violence the first instance. We could learn so much from these wonderful, intelligent creatures. ❤🐃❤🐘😊🙏🏻
Deborjha, Ditto 😊
🖖💦🐘🐘🌿🐃🐃
Me too. I couldn't enjoy watching the elephants because I knew that the buffaloes were thirsty too and I was thinking of the sheer amount of mud that the elephants disturb by moving about through the water. It won't be an exceptionally enjoyable drink after the elephants are finished, but Africa is a wild land where patience must be learned for coexistence!
BLESSED SUNDAY HERD ELEPHANTS AND CARERS! 🐘🐘❣️

The true "Royalty of the Bushland". We are big and strong, and we know it!
They still live all in peace. The other animals have very much respect to the elephants due to their strengh...
His walking (into the waterhole) shows that he must be in pain - poor Fishan. 😢
I absolutely love all the elephants but I must admit I have a special fondness towards Fishan💖💝💖.
@@fabienneroure9995 Me too. ❤
oh, is it so, it's too sad..., I don't want him to suffer... maybe he just enjoys the water...
Awesome herd of elephants~ Young elephants are safe in this family~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Good morning S.A., love you’ll there working with the elephants. Beautiful site at the watering hole. May God bless you all there. 🙏🙏🙏
Kumbura truly loves being an allomother. Since Phabeni seems to be at the orphanage, she's following Khanyisa around with a huge herd of buffalos just standing nearby. She never gives herself a break from nanny duties. I love her. I also love Pisa's confidence with facing the buffalos by herself. This is a beautiful interaction. I do hope the buffalos already have their fill of water. If not yet, I am sure the ellies will allow them to have their turn after they're done. Thank you, Last for capturing this moment. Thank you, Adine and HERD, for taking us along in your every activities. God Bless You All.🙏🐘❤
Thanks for the support ❤️
Oefff...that's a lot of buffalo ..well done 🐘and thank you Last !!🤎
Natures balance displayed!❤
I love knowing that if there is a young elephant around, Kumbura the protector is going to be right by their side ❤
Khanyisa: I'm a protector too!!
Kumbura: Hold up
😂😂😂
I remember her chasing off some warthogs and, afterward, appeared pretty proud of herself. She should probably stick to warthogs until she gets a little bigger. 😂
😂😂❤❤
🙌🤣🫶
Elephant fun with buffaloes, Pisa & Mambo trying their wings... tusks! 💛🐘🧡
The water Buffalo has young calves. Hope they all got rehydrated before the HERD moved in.
🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️
They get the water, just after the elephants and there are other water sources on the reserve .
very impressive buffalo herd ! ! I like to watch the strategy of each member !! it’s very interesting !!! have a happy bath 💦 and nice back to the homestead 🥰🤗
It's always a good day when a new HERD video pops up in my feed! God bless EVERYONE who makes it possible to take care of these amazing, magnificent creatures!
It takes so much to save these orphans, and to meet the ongoing expenses of all the elephants' care. We are very blessed to be able to walk with them vicariously, and provide practical prayer & financial support to help with HERDs various needs & endeavors.
Long live our HERD!
🙏🏼❤ 🐘x17 ❤️🙏🏼
You are so kind❤️
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.🐘🐃
Elephants: ok, buffalo, you had your fun. Move along it's our turn.
The Buffalo 🐃 'hey time to go '😂
Love the way Pisa "negotiates" : GO AWAY !!! 😤
Simple, easy to understand and soooo efficient 😏
❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘
Pisa is somewhat of a tomboy. Leading the charge into the watering hole. Very confident girl. 🐘😊
I half expected Phabeni to run after the buffalo and see the girls running after him in desperation. 😅
❤️
Sebakwe had his tusks made by a true artist. They sit perfect, and he looks so handsome. 😍😍😍
❤️
Hello !🌹
Strategics places and, the most important, youngers'
Protection.
Braves animals.❤️
Well done Pisa and Mambo.
Have a good day 🌿
ctection youngers
So fascinating to see the reaction of “detente” the buffalo and elephants have towards each other - amazing negotiations- such intelligent animals!❤
❤️
Firstly, LOVE the new subtitles!!!! So much easier on the eyes to read (I hope you keep these colours!)…Secondly, it’s always interesting to see who is in what position of the day, like Timisa (I think) the first one chasing the buffalos away, and then Sebakwe and Somopone (again I think)just lounging away, knowing the others have it covered 🤣….Very well Gelled HERD for sure! 💦💦🐘🐘🐘🐘💦💦-🧚🏽♀️🙌🏽💖🕯️💫
Thank you! Will do!❤️
Those Buffalo don’t seem to be too bothered by the elephants there
there’s enough room & water for all. 😂😂
I was surprised to see that it was two of the younger Ellie’s that first made a move towards the buffalo.
I send my love and my hugs to my beautiful African elephants friends.god bless the elephants and they're caretakers everyday.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
🙏❤️
Is that trumpet call saying… get the blank out!!!😂😂😂
Incredible!
I love to watch these encounters from the wild with the Herd.....sweet Khanyisa🐘 is showing her independence and leadership skill too....marching forward with great confidence.❤
It’s always good to see them in the water and I enjoy the captions that tell who’s who and what’s going on.🥰❤️🐘😊
Thanks so much❤️
Superb. So many lovely moments it's hard to comment on all😊.
Just love the cool swagger of the herd and Khanysia's casual stroll by the buffalo with her bigger friend leading.❤
Thank you so much 😀
I HOPE ALL ANIMALS GOT WATER BATH ALL ANIMALS ARE LOVELY
Now, now kids! It's big enough for everyone 🤭
Elephants said to the Buffalo if your names not down your not coming in 🤣🤣👍👍😁😁
Ya’ll head on out.. It’s Elephant Time now.. 💦💙🐘❤️
In this case size not numbers makes the difference
Hi all elephants 🐘❤️ hi khanisa ❤️💕 be careful. Hi all of you 🍀
❤️
It was very interesting to watch Mambo running after Pisa and Kumbura running after Khanyisa. Pisa is always brave and Khanyisa is discovering her bravery. I think she feels like she is growing up now that she has a baby brother.
Definitely ❤️
Wow, they are all beautiful gorgeous animals.
I love & respect the elephants, but I love & respect the buffalo as well. I hope they got their share of water resources too 🤞🙏❤️🐃🐘
❤️
“These clowns again I swear…”
Why "clowns"? Just curious. 😊🙏🏻
😆
@@janparish7895 it’s how I imagine the elephants would see animals like buffalo, rhino, lions, etc, just as those annoying things that always get in the way and crowd the area
@GeneralGoji Of of course - sorry!! My sense of humour gauge is definitely faulty!!! 🙄🤦🏼♀️ Yep, I'm with you now. 😄😄
@@janparish7895 aye pal don’t worry about it I get it
ELEPHANTS ARE MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME ALWAYS WATCHING. FROMM U S..A.
❤️🙏❤️
Very interesting the way the herds live together.❤
❤️
❤i could watch them all day
Thank you for filming this Last, What a treat to see species interact. Do you get a wee bit nervous around a big group of Buffalo? ~ I did feel a bit sad for that LARGE heard of Buffalo, you know, getting booted out. ~ I didn't spot Phabeni & he wasn't mentioned, so presuming he was back at the Orphanage.We love you HERD. God bless you all and God bless your health, Human & Animal~ 🌍🐘☀💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Sorry Buffalo....hope you had some time. Maybe come back after the herd leaves?😊
Liittle Pisa is an Warlord Elephant Princess in the making. Not long ago we saw her trying to join the sparring with the young male bull elephants, and now she's leading the whole pack to chase off buffalo and clear the area. Who knew still waters could be so feisty!
😂❤️🐘
I just love watching the elephants in the water. I still am nervous when they lay down in the water while others surrounding them.
Thank you for the arrows and tips so we know who we're looking at.
Happy to help!❤️
🐃💚🐘🍼🐾Step aside...time out...ellies bathing😂💚🐾🍼🐘
Go Pisa!
Awesome of you to share this...I'm from the USA...Iowa to b exact so this is great !!
You know You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd!
But you can be happy if you’ve a mind to 🎶 ❤
Pisa saying I am not in the mood move out now! 😂😂😂
❤️
The adults are casual. Pisa and Mambo, the teenagers, have to show they're tough. 😂
❤️
Brave Pisa 😍🐘❤. She shone with his bravery 😃❤. Which one water hole is? Probably Herd of elephants 💞💞🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘. Don't worry buffaloes, it will be your turn too 🐃🐃🐃🐃. Thank you share the video 😊❤🧡❤.
I love how Pisa was the first to give chase! You go girl❤❤
❤️
Wow that's a lot of Buffalo. All Just trying to survive. I'm glad the elephants were so calm. ❤
Us too❤️
elephant herd: we dont wait in line
❤️
Beautiful negotiations 🙏❤️🐘
It sure is❤️
Where large and we're in charge!! 😂😂❤❤
Great to see the fairly amicable standoff between the 2 herds! Elephants 1 Buffalo 0 😂😂😂
The best!❤️
You go guys show them who's boss just so beautiful i just love this herd 🎉😂😂😂😂❤
🎉🎉🎉
I wish it could have been a longer footage very interesting how they reacted
Was that silly Mambo who trumpeted? 😄
Be nice to each other all of you sweeties! ❤❤🐘🐘🐃🐃❤❤
❤️
Safe to say the elephant herd will always win the negotiations.
❤️
Go Cutie Pie Pisa, Go get em!!!!!!!! I love you!
❤️
Elephant negotiation:
"You all leave and we'll let you leave. Deal?"
🤣
👍❤️❤️
We love the herd.
❤️
The buffalo will get their turn when the elephants are done? Thanks for these videos, I enjoy them so much.🥰🐘
Goes to show that little Libras like Khanyisa can lead at times. Yes, water buffalo have needs too. They have to drink water too etc🙂
@@ulla1623 that was pretty amazing as I think Khanyisa was frightened by a water buffalo when she was younger. I might be wrong about that, I get the names mixed up.
They will❤️
I’m looking thru legs trying to find Phabeni, Beni 🐘 😊
Pisa did the work while Mambo trumpeted!
🤣❤️
It would be nice if they could share such a vital resource.
❤️
The buffaloes also need a drink of this precious commodity 🤔
❤️
how is Fishy doing? he's dragging his injured leg.
I don't know either but good the previously estranged ellies can learn from each other and their human carers!
🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Move along Buffy’s ! We just want to do a little swimming…..you can have the water hole back when we are finished! 😁
❤️🤣❤️
I wish the footage could have been longer very interesting how they reacted
❤️
La mandria dice ai Bufali, ora ci siamo noi , dopo quando siamo andati via verrete voi 😊
Just a suggestion for the audio - wind jammer on the microphone. Cheers from Canada!!!
