Albino elephant calf Khanyisa and elephant bull Jabulani come together for the fourth time -01 April

Khanyisa and Jabulani came together for a fourth day of bonding yesterday, in the coolness of the early morning, together with Adine and her son, Xander and elephant manager, Owen, and carers, Stavros and Forbes ~ starting in the soft light of sunrise!

Little Khanyisa was very keen on Jabulani feeding her bana grass but Jabulani, calmly and happily, was equally keen on the bana grass himself. Khanyisa took to one of her favourite hobbies instead – playing in the sand, returning now and again to give Jabu a sniff while Adine collected fresh dung for her.

Little “meisiekind” (girl child, as Adine calls her) is becoming so at home with Jabulani and this video really shows how comfortable she is, getting up close to the big boy, and also how content Jabulani is with her little presence and curious venturing trunk, even as she tries to help Adine’s son, Xander with the spade right underneath him.

The team then headed to the stables to get back to work – with Khanyisa following in Jabulani’s big footsteps 💕 Another successful interaction!
