Khanyisa, an orphaned baby elephant in South Africa, integrates into the Jabulani Herd.

Have you ever wondered what happens to animals once they are orphaned and separated from their families? What dangers they face or how they survive? The animals automatically become endangered and are targets to predators inconsiderate people.

Wild animals are found very rarely getting second chances at life. This particularly applies to large animals like elephants. In a world filled with opportunists, the animals that get a second chance at life are extremely lucky and loved.

Fortunately for them, the HERD elephant orphanage (HERD) in South Africa is taking in abandoned elephants and giving them a second chance. This is one of the orphanages known to cater for abandoned animals in the world.

One of the lucky elephants is Khanyisa, an orphaned elephant. According to HERD, she was fortunate enough to be rescued when she was just a child and she has been adapting to the new environment since then. The staff at HERD have been teaching the young calf about trust, love, and protection. They do this with a lot of dedication and hard work.

The main reason the orphanage staff teaches the elephant with so much dedication is to mainly show that even though the young calf grew and hurt over a tough childhood, she can now thrive and grow because she is in a safe environment. Khanyisa has to adapt to this safe and loving environment and the staff at the orphanage. The orphanage has to ensure that the animal coexists with the rest of the elephants for her to know that she is safe with the rest of the elephants at the orphanage.

Loyal fans are given updates about the growth and development of Khanyisa on HERD's social media accounts. HERD shares images on their Instagram of Khanyisa having enjoyable moments with the rest of the elephants at the facility. They share footage of the young elephant taking strolls around the orphanage with the other animals, to feed while enjoying protection from the elder animals who have taken her in as part of their herd.

This brings so much honor and joy to the proprietors and staff at the orphanage. Having Khanyisa at the orphanage is such a privilege to them. Offering the cute elephant a healthy and happy environment is one of the greatest joys that they have. 

By teaching Khanyisa and other elephants about love and being compassionate, the staff at the orphanage share a bond with the animals and can learn how to detect any dangers and problems that they might face. They become part of a larger family that cares for each other around the orphanage. These animals have a renewed sense of hope when they are found by these incredible people before being poached.

They can live and learn to love again in an environment that offers love and protection to them. Khanyisa is one of the luckiest animals to have been rescued by the orphanage. The elephant is integrated into the environment and the rest of the elephants have taken her in as one of their own. The older elephants protect and secure their young elephant while showing her a lot of love. This shows that elephants are compassionate and loving animals. 

It is important to take care of our wildlife. These animals need love and support since they do not have any family left once they are abandoned.

Taking care of these animals ensures that they have a renewed sense of belonging. By showing these animals love and compassion they get new hope and grow to reciprocate that type of love.
