The Scent of a Lion Causes the Female Elephants to Gather Around the Baby in the Herd — Khanyisa 💓

We catch up with the herd during their walk in the wilderness — starting with Khanyisa and Timisa! Khanyisa engages her sister playmate in a mini sparring session, since she can never get enough of the only other elephant closest to her own size. The two youngsters have had a sweet and playful bond from the beginning of Khanyisa’s integration. Then we learn about Mambo’s new injury! The bull is clearly causing some havoc among his herd — and this time with Fishan, who stepped in to chase the young bull, giving Mambo a wound on his rear. This would likely be either a form of discipline - Fishan telling Mambo off and making his step back in line - for the well-being of the overall herd, or it could be a matter of hierarchy. Mambo is asserting his independence more and more and trying to gain authority in his herd, among the bulls and cows. Fishan is in third position among the bulls and may have needed to remind Mambo of this. Then we have a lion in the vicinity! Fortunately the herd avoid a run-in but they do huddle around Khanyisa - with all the females gathering together, as protection should the scent of the big cat waft closer as the lion moves. It’s hard to see wildlife in the bush and often requires an eagle eye. Our team communicate through radios but the elephants know a lion is near thanks to their incredible sense of smell and sound. Tokwe is especially attentive and Sebakwe not at all attentive in this scenario! Watch the video for more!
