An Elephant Standoff with Timisa and Mafuta the Hippo 🐘

Hi everyone, my name is Owen. The hedge is already out for feeding. You can check them here. They are standing, picking up the fruit of the green thorn. So in winter time the green thorn, the fruit get ripe. And then it's one of the favourite fruit elephant they love. So this time of the season, this green thorn, they drop the seed. You can see up there in the tree, but it's a little bit dark. I'm not sure that it's going to be clear for you to see. So elephant, they go tree to tree, shaking them, shaking the tree. And then all of them, they group up under the tree, picking up. You can see over here, got one. That she picked up, you can see there in the ground. Also looking for another one. There we go. And then quite a few of them there. Fishan, Fisa there. All of them standing there picking up from the ground. So this is one of the tree that we do have around here. You can see Fishan is checking up on the tree. You can reach the branch for him to get it. You can see them stretching. So there we go. Got a nice grape there, but unfortunately I grabbed the dry one. But it's too dry. So I'm going to get maybe a piece of that. See how they're pulling it. You reach the branch. You can see over there, we got a purple. Purple, she was shaking. She was shaking the tree. Hope he's still next to me here. You can see he's picking up from the ground. Fishan is lucky, got plenty of his height to get the twigs. Yeah guys, just an opportunity for me to share with you. The head is out. And then they're already starting their day. Check from which one is shaking there. Purple is shaking the tree. That side is a parkway. Shaking over there. Purple. Shaking. one of the water walk, here to drink water, we all came there, got Klaseri, she is drinking water, then behind Klaseri there is two, Kisa on the left and Zindoga on the right side, behind Klaseri over there. Then we got Fishan who is in the water, you might be surprised to see why Fishan is in the water, this is our winter time now, so the reason of the others not getting inside the dam for a swim or mud bath, the weather is very good for them, they don't need much for them to cool down their body, this is the winter, it is cold, so they just play with the dust and continue feeding over there. So coming back to Fishan, why Fishan is in the water alone, Fishan is one of our male that got injured about 6 years back, Fishan got injured when he was feeding around the areas where there was a man-made wall, so it was covered with grass, it was an old, old wall, so it didn't cover the bushes and grass around when he was walking, unfortunately he fell off into that wall, so he got a fracture on the wrist, on his right and left foot, so for him to get inside the water like this, he is trying to cool down the pain, that's the reason why he is in the water, so every time when he goes to the water, no matter how cold or hot it is, Fishan, technically he is going to get inside the dam to cool down his foot, so that's the reason Fishan is in the water alone, as you can see he has quite a few of them over there, so you can see Jawulani there, he has a nice standing foot, balancing his right back foot on a stick, he is relaxing himself, there are quite a few that disappeared there in the bushes, they are still feeding, the one that is facing to me here is Bubi, Sepakwe is behind Bubi, over there, Bubi, Sepakwe and Jawulani are still here, they are still feeding over there, unfortunately the youngster, Kanyesa and Kemisa, they are already disappeared there in the bushes, still feeding, so I tried to give a time to share with you this afternoon, why Fishan is in the water and the others are not, so this is our injured boy, he is trying to cool down the pain, I am just sharing with you guys, I hope everyone is doing very well, thank you again, thank you very much for all your support, watching all the videos of the aids and all the likes, we really appreciate it. Thank you.
