You, your staff and your entire organization are just remarkable! Thank you for all you do!

Another great video, thankyou. I've enjoyed seeing the little ones' faces beginning to grow black. The little masks or moustaches look quite comical!

It seems to me that all the monkeys in this sanctuary live in a sort of monkey heaven. They live so much better than monkeys in the wild with safety from poachers/hunters; medical care as needed; and a plentiful diet. Thank you for the loving care you provide❣️

Thank you all so much! You’ve outdone yourselves again... each week it seems you up the ante! I’m def feeling the ❤️ for this season’s babies but also remembering the last few baby seasons & wondering about so many of those monkeys, physically they have grown & changed a ton, I’m sure. Horst is a good looking little guy & so playful! There are so many I want to ask about but will refrain... lol!! 🤭 I hope you are all having a really good week & that you are maybe getting some volunteers now?

This is so great! They are like any other baby primate, enjoying guarded freedom while being watched over by the older females 🐒🐒❤

Your program is amazing as well as all of the volunteers and ppl involved! I'm in love with you all Thanks!

For all that Floki has been through and had to deal with strangers doing medical things to him, he still is peaceful when the ladies bathe him. He makes no effort to bite, though he does grumble a bit.

It seems Dora has lots of mommies! Thanks y'all for everything you do!! Much 💖 ~Sidney

Omggg they are so cute. My friend showed me you guys and I fell in love.

I'm curious. If a higher ranking female decided to steal a baby for herself would the baby ever accept her as it's mother or is the bond with it's original mother unbreakable? I thank the foundation in bringing us these updates in documentary style. I was 1/2 through and realized I have a huge smile on my face!

Ah, question answered. I listened a bit further and learned that they are actually older than the narrator! I'm astounded once again by the love and care these animals receive from the staff and volunteers. Sounds like the two old gentlemen will receive a special meal order from the kitchen until the day they shuffle off to Monkey Heaven. Monkey Heaven will probably look very like the VMF

Somango are the coolest looking monkeys! He dosnt realize how lucky he is to be in the best of care after his mom and troop!❤

I enjoy watching the foster moms choosing a baby but being willing to care for more than one.

I absolutely love Sykes monkey just as much as Vervets

I loved this episode! I just can't get enough of feeding time, because your knowledge is so incredibly comprehensive- it's truly amazing. You all seem to know who gets what plate of food and in what order they eat. You also know about their dietary restrictions, plus what you feed them- and why. I learn SO much from clips like this one. I also love how you identified each monkey in this episode. As much as I would like to say I recognize the babies (cough cough), let's just say sometimes I do get confused! Heh heh. As always, you all at the Foundation are incredible and we so appreciate you sharing your journey with us. I will check out the movie later tonight- I didn't think Kyle's movie benefitted the Foundation, but I guess it does- even better! Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us!

I don't understand what you mean that you didn't think Kyle's movie would benefit them? Why wouldn't it? That was the point wasn't it? Though she mentioned all their names and why they received certain diets (as far as her ability to remember what all each or them got I have to say she is looking at the plate mentioning what they were getting so not such a tough task I would think and none of them had any duet "restrictions" did they? Only soft diets due to older age/lack of teeth?) but at no point did she mention why or how they ended up there at the facility or how long they had been there and I would have been FAR more interested in that info than what they were eating!🙂

I think Mr Floki i resident ladies man figured out a way to get a sponge bath by two pretty ladies...since he realized his suave moves weren’t working on Cuddy! 😂 💩 I love Floki he’s the ⭐️ this season!

Quick question is the girl on the left washing Floki the one who films most of the time and we hear talking usually when we don’t hear Dave? It’s not a big deal but nice to put a face with a voice. She’s always so sweet with the monkeys..well everyone is but it’s always sweet when she says My Boy or other kind things them it’s very endearing ❤️!

That was awesome seeing her come out the nursing cage looking around for buttercup, she actually learned her smell and knew who wasn't who she was looking for, she cling to a few quickly and knew right away it wasn't the new mom jumped to the next and got back to buttercup

I’m glad SAAV has such a laid back, accepting group but I couldn’t help feel sorry for Dora. I think it’s because she bonded with Holly after being in the intro cage for 8 weeks, yet Holly left her for another female to lure out. Dora seems to still want Holly, but Holly appears indifferent. Dora looks uncertain and frightened at times, not as well groomed as the other babies. I can’t shake that idea watching this video. Intellectually, I know there’s miles of uncut footage we never see and the staff is there 24/7 and know Dora is a happy, well cared for, food chasing treasure.

So amazing,

Dave, my nephews watched this video. They liked your explanation of play fighting. They tried their logic to say as monkeys are similar to humans in many ways this was why he and his brother needed to play fight all the time. I guess I should be happy they were using logic. Unfortunately for them they are dominated by their sister who they are not allowed to fight with. They are trying to work out how to change this without fighting her. There father shook his head and pointed out that the monkeys were dominated by a female .

@VervetMonkey

3 жыл бұрын

There father is correct they are dominated by a female or 2 - when younger females will also participate in play fighting, the secret is control and I've never seen them hurt each other during this type, knowing when to stop is as important as starting

Sometimes these monkeys are much kinder than Humans. X

Do you have a watering hole that the monkeys can splash around in and have a swim? I know it would be a lot to do because you would have to make one for each troop plus the bandits etc... With all the rain you get at times I would think it wouldn't be too hard to fill.

That skin condition could be from tree sap.

Samango's are so cool 😻

Tony et pascal me manquent ❤❤❤

I really don't understand why humans put any animal through the hell they put them through. There are way to many people that literally take enjoyment watching animals suffer. I guess I was raised different than a lot of people. I just can't comprehend it.

How sweet! What a darling little baby. Where is this? Was he born here? Is his mother here?

I’m curious. Do the forestry industries and other land developers ever contribute to VMF, CARE, and the orangutan refuges in Borneo and Sumatra? Since they are the ones destroying these ancient animal habitats, it would certainly buy them some goodwill if they donated some of the millions of $$ they’re making on what used to be the animals’ homes. In fact, they should be the major contributors. Do they donate at all? Have they been approached for help?

Do any of the other special needs monkeys get/need baths? Or is it possible because Floki spent so much time with humans? When life gets back to normal it would be great to to see a video of floki.

Until then I will watch all the way thru. Are there any other ways to help your you tube income for those of us not in a position to support you financially?

I apologize for a second question, you're busy. I THINK I heard you mention in a previous episode that the samango monkeys are endangered. If yes, do you have any plans to have a baby?
