A Day in the Life of Khanyisa ~ Part 7 | Goodnight little elephant, Khanyisa & Lammie

And now we bring our series, A Day in the Life of Khanyisa, to a sweet close as Khanyisa and Lammie reach the end of daylight out in the garden of the orphanage.

Growing calf, Khanyisa enjoys a good scratch against the nursery fence as Adine tries to shepherd the two in for the night.

Khanyisa takes a slug or two of water from her outside trough, slurping it up into her trunk and siphoning it into her mouth with her trunk to swallow. She soon follows Lammie's lead into the nursery, where carer Reply is waiting for his night duty. Fresh bana grass, branches and leaves line the nursery floor to make for a soft and cosy slumber for the animals. Reply sleeps in the stretcher bed alongside the pair, with a little fence between them, when on night duty.

You can see the beautiful night sky through the windows and open door, as Khanyisa lies down, ready for bed, with Adine chatting and singing beside her softly. Lammie makes a sudden movement in the branches and gives her ellie friend a bit of a "skrik" (a fright). Khanyisa gets rattled and checks out the commotion before settling down again. It's very dark in the nursery as night sets in, but we were eager to share these moments with you.

Then, with Khanyisa sleeping, it's time to wash the dishes. Adine jokes about giving herself a warning for not washing the dishes earlier... (admitting later that she just enjoys playing more) and discusses the importance of hygiene.

Adine gives us one last look at a snoozing baby elephant and her sheepy companion before calling it a wrap on a Day in the Life of Khanyisa (and the HERD team)! Thank you and good night!
