The Jabulani Elephant Herd pick up the scent of wild elephants

On another recent windy morning, the Jabulani elephant herd welcomed Khanyisa in the early hours of the morning, as they started heading out to spend their days foraging out in the reserve.

As they headed out passed the closest dam to their stables, the herd stopped, picking up the scent of the wild elephants. Adine has noticed it is often in a similar spot, and asked Last, an elephant carer about it. He said they often urinate in that area and the herd will continue to react even if it is not very fresh.

You will notice how they also lie the tips of their trunks gently on the ground, sensing for seismic vibrations through the earth, to see if they can feel them close by.

Soon they carried on to the water's edge before heading out into the reserve for the day!

Please forgive the video sound with the wind. We use a simple iPhone 11 and do not have access to any wind control gadgets for it. :-)
