The Vervet Forest is a wildlife rehab series focused on Vervet Monkeys at the Vervet Monkey Foundation. The series showcases the process of taking orphaned and injured vervet monkeys through a foster mother program which helps these rescued orphan baby monkeys to be adopted by foster mother monkeys. The show is for fans of the animal planet, nat geo, discovery and anyone who is an animal lover, loves animals and would like to be part of helping them get back to the wild.

Thank you VMF for another wonderfully entertaining and educational Vervet monkey video. The VMF volunteers are Amazing!!! Little Charlotte's caretakers were so sweet, caring, gentle, and patient, helping Charlotte on the road to recovery. It is wonderful to see she is improving everyday. Thank you VMF volunteers :)
Could sit here and watch dear Charlotte eat for hours. Her tiny hand full of one grape ! Imagine a fruit that was exactly like a green grape but the same in proportion to our hands as one is to hers ? Not sure if I worded that properly . What you have done with her lifts the heart . It really does . You know , if several years ago you’d gone to a consultant of sorts and told them that you had this vision of ,not only rescuing baby Vervet monkeys , but then teaching them to drink from a soy-milk vending machine 3X a day (in the bush , essentially) and spending the rest of their youth fostered to an adult female (sometimes male) monkey (that you were fairly sure would embrace mothering an infant that they hadn’t given birth to) ….. ?! No need to say more . Y’all are tenacious visionaries with hearts of gold. And I look forward to being able to put some money where MY heart and words are. Won’t be a stack but it’ll buy a LOT of grapes ! You’ve earned a permanent place in my heart .
Thank you all so much for your hard work and sometimes sad work trying to retire monkeys to natural troop live. God bless you all.
I am going to try and get over there next summer to help with the babies and everybody! I had been saving I all the money I needed. I had a heart attack Friday. They had to put a stint in mid LAD. I am better, but now can't travel for 6 months to a year. Hopefully see you and the babies, and monkeys soon.

Well get well soon Nd just relax and allow the healing process to occur
How how I love Charlotte. ❤ She’s a little fighter and she’s such a good little baby girl 😊 I’m praying that God will abundantly bless V M F. Also praises to the caretakers 😊
It is heart warming to see the love and compassion given to the babies by the very capable staff 🐒❤
I’m epileptic and have had 3 brain haemorrhages, one which was very severe. Her little face, I totally get it. I hope she pulls through and gets better. Brain injury can take a very long time to recover from. Big thanks to her care givers.
Elio is such a beautiful little boy😍 Charlotte is a true warrior princess, love her cute little face🥰! A big shoutout to all the caretakers for their amazing work♥️
His video I am watching again, I like it so much - I must say Charlott is a wonderful name for this monkey girl.

Yes, thank you
Thank you for all you do 🤗. I pray 🙏 that people would love each other as you all do in the care and well being of each monkey that comes in contact with you 🙂. GOD bless you all 🙏 thanks again for the love and labor/ care for each individual ❤️
Also, I love the sound they make! It is so cute! Even when they are upset or calling for mom.
Such a sweet baby she looks like she doesn’t really feel well
I love to see the way you love her and are so determined to do everything possible to gently help and encourage her back to good health, despite any improbabilities. The epitome of love.
GOD, PLEASE HELP CHAROLETTE. SHE IS A SWEETHEART. I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
Charlotte is such a cute monkey kid!
So beautiful! Charlotte seems to be eating okay. Trying to stuff her little face. She does look tired. Omgoodness! Lol 🥰💗🤗
I just love Charlotte's fluffy side whiskers! You've all done so well with her and my word she's a little fíghter! I hope her left side weakness and epilepsy improve enough for her to be in a troop later. Ever since the eye improved she seems to be observing her surroundings very thoroughly. Love her appetite! Elio is amazing too. So confident and adventurous despite what he's been through. Good luck to the guy in the cage! And thank you all for the quickest hour of the week!

So amazed at what you all do and look at this baby Charlotte. How far you 0all have brought her ..god bless you all
I love watching them. Thank you so much for all your love to these babies !! What kind of monkey is Elio and Charlotte? Why does Charlotte and the mums look so alike , but the other babies don’t look like the mums when they’re babies? 🤔
Charlotte has come so so far. My hope is that she continues to get as well as possible. Thank you to the lady (and others) that's been with her caring and filming her for your TLC. You really have put the work and love in to help Charlotte and it shows.
So adorable you should put a mirror in front of her!🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really thought she was going to have a big problem with her left side based on where I was thinking the pellet went in. She does seem to be a bit quiet. I wonder how her sense of smell was affected? No matter, she's doing amazingly well thanks to you!
It’s interesting how Charlotte suddenly woke up, is aware. She’s on the mend. She has a ways to go. I’m catching up on all the seasons.

Poor Charlotte so traumatized 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻her recovery so far is a miracle thank you all for caring so well for this little one
Its a monkey burrito! Lol
She reminds me of The Grimlins.
Dave and Jose it s due to your care and love of these animals that you've made us all aware of their plight.Thanks so much to Dave for taking in that 1st monkey❤💛

Wipe her little mouth poor baby monkey 🐒 thank you for taking care of these baby’s
Wow! 🤣
It breaks my heart to see these guys struggle (and girls)!
Everyone is doing a great job with these monkeys. But I do have one concern in this video. Around the 38 minute area, y’all have a wire twisted around a door. Y’all need to bend those wires down or a little monkey is going to get hurt.
She looks so much better

Thank you so much to Charlotte's caregivers. You are doing an amazing job with her. Hopefully she can make a full recovery. Little Elio is adorable. Glad he isn't afraid of the other monkeys. This will help with integration. You are all an amazing staff. Every one of you no matter what role you play at the foundation. God bless you all. Thank you to everyone.
Hi, all! Thank you for your wonderful work! Just wondering how Dirkules is doing after his shoulder injury?
I pray to Saint Francis that Charlotte does her very best !! She’s a very brave little girl, the very best to her !! Was Charlotte’s mom killed ? Or was she the only one shot ? How can any human shoot such a young little monkey !!

@@carolynmcpherson2667 , yes it is awful, 2 brothers some years back killed one of the park cats that we where feeding in a group of fixed strays on private property (we had permission they did not) but they both including a 3rd member of the family are doing life in the big house for murdering several people in a drug house !!
If she is on steroids for brain swelling, it will make her constantly hungry. (Charolette, that is)
What a beautiful baby! Thank you for your kindness 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
What a little angel 😇 What a recovery amazing
Silly! TN, USA.
I notice that Charlotte is not seeming to notice the orientation of her hand and foot on the left side. When normal numerological function is present they will automatically put a hand and foot sole down if it gets turned over. I noticed she was not moving the left side fore arm normally and keeping the hand curled back and then when you were trying to get her to walk she was not placing her foot correctly or even noticed it was turned back even when you placed it correctly. This could be a sign of swelling on the right side of the brain (the opposite side of the brain controls the motion of the limbs) and that foes seem to hold with the face that the right eye showed more injury than the left. If it's just swelling it should subside and she will get use of the left side, but if there was actual brain damage from impact and/or bleed on the right this could be either a long rehab much like after the effect of a stroke or a permanent disability. The one thing she has going for her is that primates due seem to overcome brain injury quite well and have a better ability to program other uninjured parts to take over as long as the injury is not to great. Without an MRI for diagnosis as an x-ray really cannot tell you the extent of tissue damage it just maybe that time will tell waiting to see if she improves and some if the negative neurological signs go away
Charlotte will have a lot of stories to tell her monkey friends and tell them “don’t tell anyone but some humans are pretty good to us and loving, but don’t tell them I said that !”
Omgosh...lol poor guy .how long is he staying in the crush cage ???? 🤔
You guys sure have a lot going on at this time, I hope more volunteers will come your way now that travel has opened! 🙏 I will continue to do all that I can! 💗 us.
So cute I'm glad she doing good and the other too
It's like Charlotte suddenly woke up and asked Laura: "who are you?!" 😯
It must be terribly hard to not get attached to those amazing little critters. They have wonderful individual personalities.
Le petit elio tellement chou et charlotte la combattante, tellement incroyable ❤❤❤
Cool! Charlotte is eating on her own!👋🏼 She's looking so much better!
Charlotte is such a trooper!!! She is definitely fighting to get well!!!❤️🐵❤️ *** Note*** Just curious if you've ever tried adding high fat vegetable based oils like flax, safflower, avacado, or other similar type oils in Charlotte's smoothies? I know when I interned in the TBI recovery unit (I'm an RN, for human primates, LoL) we added oils like the kind I mentioned into smoothies, and meals for many of the patients because they are loaded with Omega-3 and high chain fatty acids which really help with brain health. Just thought I would mention it because it might help.🤷🤞❤️❤️❤️❤️! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

What happened to Sky?
Poor Elio has no one to play with.
So hurtful to see the badly injured and struggling babies. Perhaps if the shooters and others were made to sit alone and watch these videos, they would begin to understand the tremendous cost in love and effort required trying to nurse the babies back to health, and the pain suffered by the little ones. Could make a difference, or at least I would like to think so.
Great job with Charlotte. But, I am sitting here with my Floki mug, being greedy wanting him in every episode.
