Orphaned Albino Baby elephant Khanyisa's incredibly emotional greeting by the Jabulani Herd

[catbyte]

Khanyisa received such a powerful and emotional greeting from the Jabulani herd when she joined them in the bush on Saturday.

It was an incredible experience to capture this greeting ceremony, as they rushed to welcome Khanyisa. The intense trumpeting, roaring and array of very expressive displays happen all at once, including head raising, urination, defecation, spinning, secretion from their temporal glands, amongst other behaviour.

Khanyisa is the victim of a snare. She settled in nicely after her rescue and became best friends with Lammie, HERD's resident companion sheep. Khanyisa was rescued a year ago and remains BFFs with Lammie to this day.

1. She wasn't frightened at all...

She knew these giants were her family.
