Ameia's two babies 06 - Dario's head is broken

Poor baby, life is never easy for him.

[@LoriI-xt6kb]

I'm new here been watching for a couple weeks now on Arroz recommend. Started out watching those other channels and stopped. I can't express how much joy I have watching yours & the Arroz videos! You're both so kind, caring and I do believe you're good enough to do this for Animal Planet. Also it's wonderful to have a comment section of people that play nice, care about about the monkeys and are kind to each other! This mom is so loving I really hope Dario is okay.

[@grannywillow5252]

@@maryfregain4648 Still more than Gypsy or Tina get. Don't get me wrong, I don't like either of them, but maybe, if they were as well fed as Ameia is, Gypsy might not abandon her kids as soon, and Tina would have more milk, and not need to raid pouches either. Just saying. And yes, she is well fed, Arroz would say something about it, if JW were dishonest about things. They are friends. JW does the car park, and Arroz does the main road. Arroz would notice if JW was fake. And her babies both are very healthy, so she must be getting plenty of food to have enough milk for them to be so healthy. This is not the Cambodian Temples. This is a protected monkey habitat. They don't bait, tease, or torment these monkeys here.

It looked like pierces at the opposite sides of his head. I would have guessed teeth marks.

An adult male, dog or wild pig. More than likely though, the male.

[@saucywalker290]

I wonder when she will feel comfortable enough to allow the babies to start exploring? I suspect it won’t be at the carpark initially.

[@JWmonkeyhill]

She already did so. Babies exploring is risky sometimes, Dario might have fallen off a tree while playing and hurt himself.

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

Amaia seems to have a large gash at the centre of her back as well, she also has several other healed and healing wounds herself, being a low ranking member of her troop probably leads to many literal fights for survival. Baby Dario will probably be fine assuming there are no internal brain injuries!

[@lf3541]

Of the two, Dario appears to be a bit smaller and far less aggressive. That wound almost looks like an open site of infection that has begun to heal. Odd.

Since Ameia's always trying to juggle the 2 boys at the same time, it's easy to imagine how that could happen. The poor baby. From the look of his wound, his head must've been punctured by something awfully sharp.

I'm just having a hard time imagining how, given how she never lets either of them even squirm out of her lap, got ahold of his head. The way she's able to just walk up and get all the food she could ever want, the other monkeys of the troop might take exception to that. I'm assuming she's low ranking as she never appears to be groomed at all. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was a bite from a large male.

The gash is quite deep & a good chunk of tissue missing !! Really should be stitched but I know that would be next to impossible. She is keeping it clear but high chance that an infection could set in !! I'm surprised the little guy doesn't seem to have much pain associated with it !!

[@hollisblinn7910]

These macaques have amazing healing abilities. There's no need for stitches and it's unlikely to become infected, especially with his mum licking his wound to keep it clean. There's something in their saliva that seems to speed the healing process.

[@Miss_Elle85]

To add to @Em...nursing Mom's have great control over baby's ability to heal through their milk supply. Mom's always sniff their baby's rear...this gives Mom an instant health assessment and her milk supply is able to adjust with enzymes, antibodies and nutrients to meet baby's need. In this case, Ameia's milk probably has immune boosting antibodies and nutrients to quell the infection on Dario. It's one piece of a multi-faceted health system that keeps these creatures nearly impervious to infection and pain. For an infection to kill a baby, it has to be really really bad and very deep.

[@wessmith7408]

I'm not sure if you realize that mother nature has provided them this ability. I have some 200 hours of study & research in the short tail, long tail and the hybrid monkeys. All of these are similar but each does have differences. God has given them the knowledge to keep wounds clean and by licking these wounds they seem to heal far better than we do. I am about to make a full post but in my studies, it is very difficult for the mother who has twins to have enough milk. Many times the moms have a difficult time producing enough milk for one. I will explain more in my single post.

Jeez, all these comments about Dario's head wound! But what the hell happened to Ameia's lips? They've been torn off! Obviously it was some time ago. A food offense? Would make sense as to why her head is on a swivel, looking for higher ranking monkeys watching her actions. I just don't like these animals. The only ones I TRULY can't stand because of how violent they are: to their offspring, each other and people! Attacks have risen in India, especially due to their reliance on human food. Those who refuse to feed them are being savaged. A 12 yr old girl's face was ripped off. Also an elderly man was struck in the head with a brick and killed by a macaque. These may sound like isolated incidents but there are so many more not reported. Humans should NEVER,EVER FEED MONKEYS! It destroys their natural foraging behavior and creates health problems like OBESITY and DIABETES! Furthermore, when females have Gestational Diabetes, the baby develops too large in the womb, causing it to be too large to pass through the birth canal. It will either smother during birth or the mother AND baby die! This is PURELY the fault of HUMANS. If ANYONE TRULY cares about these creatures, DO NOT ENCOURAGE FEEDING. They were born with the proper instincts to keep themselves and young fed! You are not doing them any favors by giving them food not normally found in their wild diet. Lastly, an overabundance of food, gives the males nothing to do but screw all the females due to boredom. This means too many babies being born at once, causing population explosions and stress on the troop as competition for food increases! Please, think about your actions and the effects they have on the creatures you all claim to love so much! Loving something means giving them what THEY NEED. NOT what YOU THINK they need!

[@JWmonkeyhill]

Ameia was born with the birth defects. I'm sorry for what've happened in India where there're about 50 million monkeys! But the same thing is not gonna happen in Hong Kong, as we here only have 1800 macaques, of which 80% of the female macaque have been sterilized.

There is a huge over-population problem with these things. And they are dirty and carry tons of diseases. Feeding them is just furthering the problem. Honestly the ones that are sick and injured should be humanely euthanized. And people should NOT keep them as pets. That's a huge no considering if you piss it off it can rip your throat out.

[@breshannondevereaux7725]

Macaques have a feeding heirarchy. Babies eat LAST. They are getting milk, so it isn't necessary for them to eat solids yet. They are also HIGHLY competitive when it comes to food. Not honoring this heirarchy, is an offense which CAN be punishable by DEATH. It is necessary for her to teach this to her offspring early. For them to eat out of turn, ESPECIALLY in front of a higher ranking monkey can cause their death and for mom to be HARSHLY punished for not doing so. They aren't the smartest, imho, but they DO have a complex social order.

@kim mcdonald 👏👏👏

[@Miss_Elle85]

They may be different types of monkeys. The monkeys in Cambodia that most people watch exclusively (the Long-tailed Macaques) will not share food, even with their baby. They will take it from baby, make it regurgitate the food, even some will dig it from their mouth. Other types of monkeys such as Rhesus and Pigtail Macaques are more gentle, certainly less violent when it comes to their own baby and food. Another factor is that the WLA Mom and babies aren't being handed food like those Temple monkeys are. The WLA reserve encourages foraging and they are living in a natural habitat. The Temple monkeys are at times living on tile floors, man-made buildings and there is very little that is natural about any of it. It is actually very good that Mom has taught her babies so well. This will help insure a long life (although there are certainly no guarantees). They don't appear to have missed any meals. She is doing a very good job with them.

[@brendajoycewhite5747]

@@kiki29073 if they have food when mom has food and eats next to her, they are ok, but they can't be handed food by themselves as some VO'S hand feed them. She must not be of a lower rank or she couldn't be part of the first ones to get food. These babies are of the age that they need to start eating, she isn't a mom that shares. The baby with the hurt head must of tried to eat food that was in front of an adult and got bit. She is holding her babies when she gets food, if something they can hold is put in babies hands when she gets food, they would be safe. Not saying she wouldn't take the food away. But she can't eat it all at once. And the female at WLA mostly they don't feed the monkeys in the woods. Only special needs that are at their compound. The guy that was filming, did this on his own , his free time from work. He also at times brought her food, she had gotten real skinny. This breed of monkeys, is very rare to have twins. But despite what some say. There is caring loving females that will take in some other's baby and raise with theirs and raise it as their own. It is a baby from their group, mostly a close relatives, like mom, aunt, sister's baby. Also there is ones of long tail that do share their food. Even bringing food from their pouch and baby eats it from her mouth. There also Resses Macaques that don't share food and takes food out of their babies pouch and eats it. They all have different personalities, and some let their babies eat with them others don't in both of these breeds.

@@kiki29073 yes, I have always said that , of both breeds, mostly these men are feeding them ,out of their hand not giving the troop any. If the mother is holding her baby, and if each herself and baby, were handed food at the same time, according to their rank and when it is their turn for food, the baby eats with mom, all the other monkeys are eating. Then baby will not get hurt. If baby runs up to an adult or even a young monkey of higher rank and grabs food that is around the older, + higher rank. It will be hurt. The parent is the one that trains her baby. The baby is expected to run from people, not except food from them, stay by mom, these men even pick them up and feed them in front of the group. They know these babies are going to be beat up. They watch them get hurt. They even do it the next day with baby with bruises all over face and bit marks. They don't care. And baby is hungry. It is after they eat, they get beat. Their moms are not taking care of them. She should grab her baby and get it away from him. Even Resses babies are done the same way. Not in the areas of Honk Kong. But in other countries. And if that remark is made to me about people like you, is why Cambodia is like it is. You are the one that needs to do research, I am no way in agreement with Cambodia and those monsters the Vo's run things. Or the corrupt officers, forest service, or the government.

That wound is horrible. It's very close to or could be a skull fracture. The hole is extremely deep.

[@zerious1016]

poor baby, I hope it heals well and it's covered. I can see bit marks on the other side too. It looks like some monkey had bite his head and broke his skull.

[@illyph9963]

Thanks for dropping corn in my brain mom 🤣

[@ladyweasellou3367]

Poor little angel. At that age their skulls are soft not fully formed (they are so similar to us) and I hope it don't get too far. Momma will keep it clean. Its amazing how they con survive horrific wounds due to the constant grooming.... Some humans have yet to figure that out. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

[@SToP6Shuk]

Damn, looks like a monkey tried to take the mama’s mouth OFF

[@teribarr3773]

Just my opinion but a wound so deep had to be something sharp like a tooth. A fall is less likely to cut through so deep. My guess is Mum did something wrong and he just happened to catch the brunt of her punishment with his head in the way.

[@vg7735]

If he fell from high on something sharp it could have cause that. However, I think Mum has wounds on her back that she was touching so it could have been a monkey fight like you said.

[@teribarr3773]

Vanessa G I didn’t notice mums but that makes sense now. The adults do not typically attack the babies with intent to injure them. Hope whoever it was felt ashamed for it. That’s a nasty wound. They heal better than humans though so I think baby will be ok.

[@lisaperry5999]

I didnt think macaques had twins

[@katywuste9054]

They aren’t twins, she adopted Dario shortly after she had her own baby

[@sassygirl7817]

It looks like they were attacked by another monkey. Mom and baby got bad looking injuries

[@pamelawilcox9035]

That one baby is ready to eat food

[@JWmonkeyhill]

He's just showing curiosity for what mom eats.

[@beccathib3656]

He acts like he's starving to death to me! 😱

[@PamPreston78]

Brio is so aggressive and appears to think he is entitled.

[@paulaweddle5337]

Dario is healing looks like he fell or was bitten extremely hard. Poor Mom she's got a torn lip and twins to feed. Yikes...

[@TyyeahBStoo]

Baby monkey's don't get to eat like the big monkeys wow

[@julieyeager4402]

If they are nursing, Mom eats all the solids cuz it turns into milk for babies. They look well feed & she doesn't appear to be weaning them.

[@cburke5023]

I adore moma monkey with messed up face. She seems to take wonderful care of her two little babies

[@JWmonkeyhill]

She’s born with that deformity probably due to inbreeding.

[@Alaska2blessed719]

Awwwwww she loves her 💘 corn 🌽 😋baby wanted some to cute 😍 awwwww I see baby boy head is hurt wow tht was some hole in his head am gald he is ok tho.... I knw these old but am binge watching 👀 😅 lol thanks JW 😊

[@JWmonkeyhill]

Thanks for watching.

[@vicktoriafarnam-bi3iz]

Can anyone help them? Or is that not done the resilience of these beauties astounds me they are an example to humans not the other way around

[@melissaureste2229]

Does the mom have a tumor on her lip?

[@trishplanck9776]

That’s weird, I could have sworn I saw 2 wounds on the top of Dario’s head. Maybe the spot I saw further back was a piece of food mom dropped on his head. 🤔🥴

[@mjkay8660]

how could a baby get a bite like that on the head???

[@kimberlygarrish205]

lol Brio would rather have the sweet corn instead of the milk @ 7:47. And Dario prefers moms milk over the food. Poor thing. Must have been one nasty fight for mom and baby to be injured.

[@nikkip6627]

How are they this week ?. Healed ?

[@masaiito8531]

Are they twins? I have never seen twins before. They both look like they are better cared for and more calm than most of the other babies. What happened to the momma?
