Jabu feet in the air swim | Living With Elephants Foundation | Okavango Delta, Botswana |

Here is one of Jabu's longest swims so far and I have edited down a little. At around the 7 min mark you might notice the crocodile in the water close to Jabu, at the 10 min mark Jabu is actually upside down in the water!
Folks who are new to our page please go to our website to understand more about the histories of Jabu and Morula. withelephants.org
These swimming sessions are good fun but they are also therapy for Jabu who has a damaged front right carpus or wrist joint. The idea behind the swimming is for him to get the weight off of the joint and to exercise in a weightless environment. It is also good for his other joints such as his shoulders because of the way he compensates for the angulation when he walks.
Morula does not go into the pool with Jabu because we are afraid that she will get in his way and impede his free movement or even injure his leg. She tends to get really, really excited when they are in together. So they take turns in the pool rather than go in together.
I wanted to clarify because of the numerous questions regarding them swimming separately.
