All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
In this new morning video, at the orphanage, Khanyisa gets plenty of love tickles and tummy rubs as she explores the garden before her day with the bigger elephants.
Elephants love to rub their skin against rocks or trees to scratch an itch or for a body massage. The rubs from her human carers provided Khanyisa with all the affection and comfort she needed in her early days and now, as she prepares to enter a new phase.
We would love to have her join the herd overnight soon, and to start weaning her very gradually off her nighttime bottles, but are also aware that winter is around the corner, with colder weather coming in about April and May, and winter settling in in June and July. Colder weather affects the health of younger, more fragile elephants and we certainly want the very best for Khanyisa as she continues her integration.
She arrived at HERD as a much younger elephant than other orphans, Timisa or Kumbura did, at only four months of age, and with severe wounds, compared to the other orphans. As a result, her integration process has been much longer but we are immensely glad to have gotten her through the tricky younger years as she now edges closer and closer to turning 3 years of age in September this year.
She has developed beautifully and in all the ways we hoped she would, mentally, physically, emotionally and in her elephant skills, adaptation to the wilderness and her new herd. We're grateful for your company on this journey as we continue to help Khanyisa get to her next milestones and look forward to the day when she is no longer an orphan, but a fully accepted herd member!
