The footage in which Ridgy appeared to have been mauled was taken in March, 2022. By the end of last year she has lost her right ear as well. Poor girl has been picked on and harassed non-stop for almost 3 seasons. Ridgy is still around, but she has become reclusive and she comes out last when the meals-on-wheels arrive. Grandee was last spotted in October last year. By the way, if you haven't stayed till the end of this episode, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and I'll be back on the 30th of January.See you soon :)

Happy Chinese New Year

I'm a Social scientist, I have some experience studying hierarchy in primates especially in Monkeys, apes & wolves. Macaques in general have a linear Matriarchal hierarchy. It's important to understand that the Matriarchal in Macaques societies is not Necessary the Alpha female. Because in Macaques societies Matriarchal is a lineage hierarchical rather than the stronger Alpha. What does this mean is that no matter who The Alpha male favour, the highest ranks loyalty is always with the Matriarch, and the Alpha female will always favor the Matriarch. Their Society respect their Alpha male & tolerated his romance with other females, but that doesn't mean they accepted them completely as members of the highest ranks. It's possible that Ridgy wasn't a high rank but just a subordinate that Grandee like the most. Once he was outstated, The Alpha female was setting the rules clear that Ridgy is not in the highest society circle.

@DOW2010.. strength has nothing to do with the alpha female or alpha male The alpha females always going to be rank considered by her lineage, So why would you say it's not necessarily the strongest that becomes the alpha therefore you are saying strength has something to do with the female alpha and I'm pretty sure it doesn't also you say the female alpha tolerates the male alpha mating with others Well that's a given they're not bonded that's what a alpha male does He takes care of all the females,. and protects the troop ( One of us is wrong) just saying..🇺🇲🦅🌍⚓ USMC

I agree. Ridgy was mid-ranking until Grandee became alpha. Grandee favored her and the high-ranking monkeys tolerated her now high- ranking status. Once Grandee was outed, the troop reminded Ridgy of her ranking. Moreover, some families (Haggy's) might have fought her in order to raise their ranking. It is important to remember that the matriarch and high-born ranking doesn't usually change (linear) but mid and low-ranking families may shuffle a bit. This shuffle could be because of aggression or an increase in a certain sex of offspring. One example is Dolly, her ranking dropped because of her lack of female offspring.

Thank you for that explanation, because that is exactly what happened here. This channel has another video on Ridgy that is about the same length as this one, and it goes into that more. If you haven't seen it yet, you might enjoy it. 👍🙂

This video absolutely broke my heart! To see poor Ridgy lose her man & then her social standing & be viciously attacked by members of her own troop really got to me. Her spirit has been destroyed. I wonder if she found Grandee or if he was to come back, would she perk back up? She lost everything when Grandee left. He was her protector, her friend, lover, father to her children, just everything. I can relate to Ridgy in some way because my husband passed away 3 years ago & I lost my spirit, my identity & person that I thought was my best friend turned on me. She had never been a real friend at all since 1984. Ridgy & I are both depressed & lost! The only difference is that Ridgy has children & now a beautiful grandchild or by now, grandchildren, and I don't have any children. I hope she doesn't give up the will to live. Love you, Ridgy! ❤🐒

Humans are absolutely uncaring & cruel to others. I see animal videos that are more loving & caring for each other than we are. It's just depressing! I thought I had made friends at work, but once I left, I found out that they were just acquaintances. Some of them were jealous because I was able to retire at 55 years old & they won't be able to do that. Where I worked, you can retire at 55 if you have at least 30 years of working there. I started when I was 18. So I had 37 years of service. My best friend just deserted me when I needed her the most because she's selfish. I grieved alone then & I'm still alone today. I get more comfort from perfect strangers than people who were supposed to be my friends. I just hope no one ever decides they need a favor cause I'm done with being there for everyone. Once again, I'm truly sorry for your losses!

Most likely because male tend to except exile from matriarchal and Natalie groups while females stay with the females even if it means they end up losing rank to a the very bottom of the ranks. Also, for her to leave with Grandee could actually have been seen as Grandee taking away a troop female as well as females, if any daughters might have followed. She could actually have been attacked more so because she attempted to leave with Grandee and/or take daughters with her.

Well we have never really taken in to consideration how losing Grandi fully affected her. Ridge was always Grandi's favorite. He even favored there children together. Who says they can't love like we do. What if he was the love of her life and she lost him to. You lose your love, your ranking, and have to deal with constant harassment and abuse. If she was human they would have her on lithium tied up somewhere like Brittany Spears. She probably just barely keeps going for her children. If it wasn't for them she would have disappeared a while ago I think. It's sad to see what happened to her just because Grandi got to old and had to go. You know jealousy and resentment had been building for awhile against Ridge and they were just waiting for Grandi to be gone so they could put her in her place. It's so sad to watch it all play out in real life. 😢

Poor Ridgy, she’s so traumatised. And it looks as if she’s aged 20 years in just a few months. 😢

It doesn't matter how many steps up on the hierarchy ladder a monkey gain or starts from (high or low) when she's protected. When she's no longer have that protection others who got lower ranking because of her will try to take their ranking back. We don't know where in the social ladder Ridgy belonged before Grandee but my guess is below Haggy. It could also be that Haggy's family saw an opportunity to climb in the hierarchy because Ridgy lost friends and got more vulnerable. Changes in monkeys' social status also affect their genes. A study estimates that gene expression can predict the social status of an individual with 80 percent accuracy. The study supports the idea that low social status can be bad for the body. But it hints at the idea that if you improve your social situation, your health improves, too. Scientists also have observed that the social environments of both humans and non-human primates affect their hormone levels and mortality risk, as well as the survival of their offspring. Though the scientists have more work to do to understand how improving social status affects the way genes turn on and off but they observed positive changes in the expression of immune-system genes of several monkeys whose social status changed. The, in my opinion animal abuse study result show that lower-ranking monkeys had lower levels of a certain kind of T cell and showed signs of exposure to chronic stress, two findings that helped explain why their genes turned on and off differently than high-ranking monkeys. The study also looked for changes in the monkeys DNA and found an animal's rank in dominance correlated with the presence or absence of methyl groups, which help control the switching on and off of genes. The females' immune systems responded rapidly when they moved from a lower social rank to a higher one, to the point where formerly low-ranking animals looked genetically like high-ranking ones. There are a lot of effects of social status on genes but they also saw that that many of the changes wasn't permanent and that leads to more questions about how they regulate stress. Monkeys that get shunted to the bottom of the social pecking order experience changes in the activity of their genes that may leave them in worse health and more vulnerable to disease. The changes did not seem permanent but gene expression responded rapidly, and predictably, to match their new status. 🤓🇸🇪🇺🇦🕊

But it wasn't like before as I'm sure that Ridgy's life will never be the same again. I am more subdued and surround myself with a few select family members. There are no more friends, I can't trust anyone that way anymore. Ridgy is going to survive, with her family by her side. God bless her.

It is because Grandee abnormally favored her and their offspring, even more than the matriarch. Ridge and clan were treated like royalty. This caused resentment and jealousy within the troop. Rhesus macaques have good memories and hold grudges. Ridgy and clan absolutely acted above their station. They ate when the high-ranking monkeys ate. They sat were the high-ranking monkeys sat. Grandee protected them even more then he did Bossy or other high-ranking members.

I have been catching up on your extradinary monkey videos this past few years and before watching this had seen Ridgy as my absolute favorite. I gelled with her on a human parallel and of all the monkeys I am always excited to see her in the clips, even calling out her name and taking great interest in her babies.

Haggy’s family saw an opportunity to move up in rank. Ridgy has many daughters which usually makes for a strong defense of position. Many monkeys fight to decide rank in times of transition but I’ve never seen this. Mainly it’s the next closest family in rank. This seems like such an extreme fall from grace. I guess this is what happens when your status in a matriarchal society is based on the temporary status of a male.

I can’t tell if haggy’s family was ‘rubbing salt in wound’ by grooming Ridgy’s wounds, or if the pauses from the two of them looking at and actually touching how damn deep her wounds were, was the both of them going ‘Jeez, we wanted to teach her lesson, not maim her for life!’ Maybe they realized they went a bit overboard? They definitely got their point across, but perhaps they both started being more civil to Ridgy after giving her bone deep wounds that could potentially kill her?

Peehaps instead of giving hampers to Bossy's family, just stop with hampers all together because everyone knows the bossy family is never in need of any.

Happy New Year. May the new year be a little better for Ridgy and her family.

The gaping wounds on her legs very easily could have developed infection and ended her life. So, I ask again, what could she have done to deserve that? Was she mean, or abuse power as the matriarch? Did she break the capital monkey-law of accepting a hamper? I’d love some perspective on this if anybody has any input.

When she was higher rank, she probably bullied many below her and they got her back when they moved up.

When they beat her she suffered some internal injury you can tell, most likely a stroke or something. The blinking one eye only and the slight sag to her face would make it appear so, however I’m not a doctor I just know if nothing else her spirit is shattered.

This was so heartbreaking to watch. Poor Ridgy! This made me cry, she can’t even open her eyes or won’t. She is a completely broken monkey. Monkeys, although I love them, can be so cruel. I pray she recovers completely, but she seems to have no interest in anything.

This bought tears to my eyes and heart.

Something that seems odd is the way she blinks. The eyelids are not coordinated most of the time. Is it possible she also suffered some neurological damage in her being beaten? What would cause her to "wink" repeatedly? And the fact she does not close her mouth. Mini-stroke? More serious head (brain) trauma that is not visible?

I am so heartbroken over seeing Ridgy. Itis sad that she had to take that abuse. She was my second fav mother, next to Reddy.............

One of the saddest LTM videos I've ever seen: poor Ridgy was mauled, apparently by Haggy and other females, just because of her favoured status when Grandee was the Alpha Male. 😭💔 Once he got ousted, the jealous adult females decided to gang up on Ridgy, hence her bodily injuries. Let's hope her family helps her with healing. The vicious attacks broke her heart & spirit. With time, she should recover from her trauma and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. But she'll remain at the lowest level. Monkey hierarchy being what it is, I have nothing against the other monkeys; it's simply that they're all wild animals. 🐒🐒🐒🐒😢😿🇬🇧

I don't. They need a good @ss kicking.

Happy New Year to you as well AM. I didn't shed a tear, I out right wept for Ridgy. I imagine that you have more stories like this and have shielded your viewers from some of the hard truths of life in a troop. Although it was so hard to watch, it was a reminder that as much as we love these cousins of ours, their life is not easy. Thank you for the happy imagines and this sad truth.

Is Ridgy not allowed to look them in the eye?

A happy new chinese year! May it be a lucky one!

Ridgy has been destroyed mentally and physically and I'm thinking Barry is the culprit for all of those serious deep bite wounds!

I feel so sorry for Ridgy, she is now so skinny and never displays any signs of happiness. She’s had such a terrible life after she spent so much of young adulthood being so happy. It’s sad to see her or any of the older ones all of a sudden lose their will to live.

I always found it extremely odd that Grandee favored Ridgy over Bossy. He was way too protective of Ridgy's girls. This behavior made me worry for Ridgy's girls and Grandees future. I felt that the higher-ranking monkeys might retaliated and hurt the little ones. I was very shocked that Grandee attacked Bossy when Fifi was harassing her to babysit Bubby. He should have protected the matriarch and his new baby girl (Bubby) not Fifi who was in the wrong. I never saw him protect Bubby or any of his other daughters not from Ridgy. Furthermore, I often wondered if Kailey was killed by the higher-ranking monkeys because she overstepped her ranking. Kailey received food from Grandee and hung out with Grandees' offspring (the little spoiled girl gang) who were favored. For me, Ridgys' brutal downfall was NOT surprising. What was surprising was that Vivi, Fifi, Didy and Gigi were not also attacked. It is documented that Rhesus macaques do remember and hold grudges. Moreover, infanticide has been document in wild troops when there is an alpha change. Gigi was not injured. Had Grandee not favored Ridgy and their offspring to the extent that he did, I believe the change of alpha would not have been so aggressive to Ridgy. It is true, Taggy protects his girls but there is no movement in ranking. So, when Taggy is outed or dies I don't believe his girls will be targeted and attacked per say. None of his offspring are from high-ranking females. Stacy is the highest-ranking female he has mated with. Thus, Taggys' offspring don't receive special high-ranking treatment that would make other troop members jealous. The only change that I would predict is Annie's members (Dana and Wibby) might not be welcomed. Lubby seems to now be a member of Bossy's troop so she would not be chased off. Also, I wonder how Olivia is faring, now that Skull Head has died. Her relationship with Skull Head was similar to Ridgy and Grandee's. Olivia was harassed but Skull Head always protected her. One would rarely see Olivia away from Skull Head per Monkey's inc. I have not seen Olivia since the birth of her new baby Chase in any of Monkey's Inc. Episodes. I hope Olivia and Chase were not attacked like Ridgy and are still alive. .

It doesn't matter how many steps up on the hierarchy ladder a monkey gain or starts from (high or low) when she's protected. When she's no longer have that protection others who got lower ranking because of her will try to take their ranking back. We don't know where in the social ladder Ridgy belonged before Grandee but my guess is below Haggy. It could also be that Haggy's family saw an opportunity to climb in the hierarchy because Ridgy lost friends and got more vulnerable. 🤓🇸🇪

You make a lot of great points. I personally doubt that Kailey was killed by the higher ranks. As far as I can tell, there hasn't been any known cases of retaliation-based infanticide in Monkey Hill from within the troop. She was spoiled and overstepped, but I think it's more likely she was hit by a car. Tracking infanticide is tricky because of each troop operates differently and is composed of different personalities and behaviors, no Alpha in Monkey Hill has killed a baby thus far. It's honestly a relief that somehow Ridgy's daughters have avoided the same treatment as hers, but it's surprising to me that it seems like they also haven't quite dropped in rank either. At least not as much as their mother.

Mo keys can be brutal to each other. Those teeth can do alot of damage. She's completely broken.

It’s sad I don’t think she will last that long. She’s been destroyed physically and emotionally, she’s too depressed and she’s thinner. I feel sorry for her.

Ridge looks much better. Check out AM's recent episodes.

Thanks for the warning AM. I'm not sure I can watch this one. Can someone please give me a summary of what's in this video? Do they show Ridgy being attacked or just the aftermath.? Thanks. Monkey society can suck just as much as human culture with the hierarchies and bullying and brutality.

@@auntiedunlap8208 It is but I really think she expected it. They know what will happened if one step up in the ranking system because of protection from a male but they take the risk anyway and hope for the best. She's alive and those wounds heal quickly. It's the mental wounds that's the worse but a study shows that they bounce back. I hope that's the case with Ridgy. It even change some genes if they climb or are put down in the hierarchy. 🤓🇸🇪

Happy Chinese New Year.

Oh, my gosh, I finally got to come back and watch all of this episode.😔 This is one of the saddest, heartwrenching things I've ever seen. Of course this is where my mind goes and I don't mean to put human feelings on a wild animal, but.....If an animal can have a broken heart and grieve themselves to death, she's one that is doing just that. Grieving for Grandee, the love of her life, and from this treatment from other monkeys, the hurt and humiliation on top of her grieving broken heart is surely but slowly taking her life. Poor Ridgy, she's totally given up. I don't imagine she'll be with us much longer. Poor girl, this makes my heart hurt for her.😥

I too worry about Ridgy. She doesn’t deserve this harsh treatment. I wish Grandee would cove back. He would comfort her.

I felt my heart break when I saw what happened to Ridgie. I felt the protectiveness flood over me and was ready to defend her and her broken spirit.

At 2919, that's what I look like when I wake up in the morning! I feel so bad for her.😢 It breaks my heart to see her so very sad. She's broken hearted.💔

This so sad. And some people think living in troop is the jungle is idle. It looks like it can be cruel and a living hell to me!

I always loved her and Grandee together with all the kids. Bless her heart

Honestly, I really miss Grandee, I think because he was so carring... 😔 But, then there's Gigy's face! And OMG! She's just too darling for words! 😂🥰❤❤

Would she not have foreseen this with Grandee’s departure?

Happy new year arroz

She'll always be beautiful and she will heal.

Не обижайтесь,но ну вас в баню с вашими комментариями,я уже разревелась на неё смотрю и не могу остоновиться,я раньше только от индийских фильмов плакала,ну вот опять реву

Good thing he don't have to pay child support

She broken down, her heart is broken,she still good mother, and still have a beautiful spirit, bless her, she will heal in time.

It looks like Ridgey is very depressed. How very sad.
