No reading into it.....that little baboon knew and wanted to comfort you guys....bless your hearts...I’m so sorry....God Bless and keep you all and your furry charges you care for...💔

[@desibarrera]

Where are you guys located? I love what you do for those cute monkeys, i've been binge watching all your videos!

[@aprillondon2711]

Vervet Monkey Foundation i wish i could donate but at this time im getting back on my feet after a car accident and being out of work for almost a yr. However here soon hope to be getting back to work and id love to help maby only $5 a month something like that im a single mom now but i figure if everyone just gave $5 imagine what could be done for these babies. There's something in their eyes that touches my heart and very soul. I feel such a connection i cant explain it it must be in our DNA for sure lol.

[@VervetMonkey]

April London I feel the same connection! And as for $5 a month, you’re exactly right, even that especially if everyone subscribed donated $5 a month, that would make a huge difference and would basically allow us to never need financial help again! Thank you for watching!

[@rosecullum4356]

Baboons are sensitive and intelligent. You were feeling it right. Thankyou for teaching me this , sharing your pain and baboons sorrow n sympathy

[@MajiggerRose]

You're definitely weren't reading into it. Animals frequently know when you're grieving. My cat stayed with me after my other cat died in a traumatic way. She was still a kitten but barely left my side. I can imagine a baboon has an even greater understanding of grief with their mental capacity. I know this was three years ago, but thank you for sharing this with us.

[@staceyritchie7100]

I could watch your channel 24/7 bcos you don't torture and abuse the monkeys. So sad how alot of the other channels exploit these beautiful creatures. Thank you for very informative and awesome videos!

[@kimg8117]

I burst into tears with that little baboon. What a sweetie.

[@Cinbad0204]

That’s was the saddest story I’ve heard from you god gifted people so sorry butter bean didn’t make but he did have you guys that loved and comforted him while he passed. Thank you all for loving these animals

[@sydneyhiatt2946]

Nora lip smacking back… oh, be still my heart.😍

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

You did your best for little Butter Bean; Animals seem to know when humans are sad, and the way that baby Baboon hugged you was just what you needed.

[@janicehoff2865]

The baboon really sensed the sadness and was precious. Soo sorry the little one died.

[@jackiemclaughlin1475]

What a Good momma's. Thank God for this type of Rescue it's THE BEST!:THANK YOU FOREVERYTHING

[@shimsh5623]

Thank you for helping these animals

[@rebeccaperez8379]

I am so sorry for your loss...at least he didn't die alone and was surrounded by loving caregivers cradling him.

[@Muensterlaenderin]

It's so wonderful to see that there are still people who give everything to help these amazing animals. I've been working in Spanish animal welfare for many years, seeing and experiencing so much that has influenced my whole life and mind. Sometimes I think that I can not take it anymore and then I look into the eyes of our dogs and know that I can and must! Every life is lovable and uniquely wonderful and I do not regret a second. You are wonderful people and your work is characterized by so much love for these monkeys .Thanks to you all, I'm really looking forward to the next episodes. Rest in Peace little ButterBean.

[@VervetMonkey]

Menoah thank you for all your hard work, I know it can get exhausting, everyone here goes through it, especially when it seems like there is so little support around you. But there are people all over the world who value the work you do and it’s great to hear that you have the care and compassion for the animals that do need you. Thank you for watching the show and I hope to see you around here more often. 🙂✌️

[@dryconnectioncleaningservi5327]

I do dog rescue here in the states and when one passes away it is devastating but we have to keep going to save the rest so I totally understand this. Thank you so much for all you do for these beautiful little creatures.

[@tomkjr1]

Animals are more perceptive than most of us give them credit for. My cats do the same thing when I am down...they try to reassure and comfort me. Gotta love 'em!

[@collectorofcats294]

tominator cats are awesome animals, aren’t they? I can’t imagine life without my cats...

[@reedecker9416]

Absolutely!

[@Bethsabee_Sheba_Newrose]

Facts! 🐈 🐈‍⬛ ❤❤❤😻😻

[@elainelewis6724]

What a great-looking medical area! The monkeys are so fortunate to have a fully-stocked area for them. The VMF has planned and implemented it well. Poor little Idris. But an amazing improvement in them both. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@lorilaunius7263]

Kyle you are one heck of a story teller! I can feel ALL the emotions coming through my laptop. Well Done VMF & RIP 😰 Butter Bean we will miss you. Safe travels my little one. 🐒

[@lilgrlQ1]

In humans they call that a Sucking Chest Wound & you're right, there's not much of anything you can do... Just to know that you did your best & that little baby knew it was loved right to the end! 😔💖

[@Crazylab1616]

It's so sad when we lose animals.. babies especially... They crash so quickly... So proud of you guys for all the hard work you put into these amazing creatures...♥️♥️♥️♥️.

[@coreypuppers7328]

I cried while watching this. R.I.P Butterbean ❤

[@pammymusic4ever]

Kyle, you are so kind. Just hearing the heartache in your words about Butter Bean made me lose it. Bless you all for all you do to give these little ones a way back to where they are supposed to be. Dillon is my favorite because my oldest son is named Dillon and your descriptions of him are hilarious!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mandyholmes4395]

So so sorry for the loss of precious butter bean but at least he was surrounded with love from you guys. I absolutely believe the wee baboon felt your sadness along with his own. I'm so happy for the babies and their new mama's. Thanks for sharing and all the great work you guys do!!

[@bitsabelle]

I'm glad that love surrounded him as he left this world. God bless you all. ♥️

[@eagse]

Sorry for your loss too. It's very hard to see animals in your care die. I had a dog that I was very close with and I loved him so much. He died aged 16 beside me one early morning on Thursday, 22nd March. It was the saddest day in my life.

[@VervetMonkey]

Beth Ann I’m sorry to hear that. 😕

[@cazpizzaz4479]

I am so sorry the little one died,but at the same time I'm so pleased he was with VERVET and not with these vial people who hurt these little ones,I think the little baboon new and felt your upset , and was comforting you both, such a beautiful spirt.💜 thankyou for all the love you give the little ones 💖

[@shawna444]

Kyle, you are a true hero to these magnificent creatures. This story had me in tears of utter despair for Butter-Bean, yet in AWE of the baboon's ability to empathize with you. Your work has a profound significance...thank you.

[@julieprior3126]

Seen this so many times but it never gets old. Kyle did some great presentation and narration. Your videos now are also superb - just a different style. Both are great and it's lovely to watch Kyle again. He has a very humane, expressive demeanour. X

[@VervetMonkey]

Glad you like them!

[@lindabenn7771]

My eyes are wet and a lump in my throat for the loss of butter bean. Animals sense sadness vibes and it was so lovely to see the baboon show empathy.

[@herbertsmith6416]

They seem quiet and well behaved

[@madhouse7364]

That baboon baby is so beautiful, you can so readily see his soul in his eyes. What a fantastic story you shared.

[@VervetMonkey]

MadHouse736 * I completely agree. And thank you for the compliment, I’m glad you’re enjoying the show.

[@bachtran6358]

May God bless you and these beautiful innocent animals 🐒🙏

[@angelahannah9580]

I really enjoyed this one episode except for the baby dieing. I almost cried. Well tears did come to my eyes. What beautiful work you guys do,😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@jeannetaylor3195]

I'm so sorry about butterbean . I know you all are doing a fantastic job. And I love the baby baboons being so sensitive

[@amkayss13]

God bless you all, for all your hard work. All the love you give these baby's. You truly are animal Angels. Many blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼😍💗💓🐒💗

[@AmziAsher]

Vervet babies are the cutest babies ever!!! All of their noises are the best too!

[@sharicooper-michener8177]

I do not know how you do this and hav,e so many little ones who depend on you. Keep up the good work and RIP Butterbean.

[@rubyriddell8406]

JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL, SO DIFFERENT!! YOU ARE AMAZING HOW YOU HANDLE THE MONKEYS! I SURE DO ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL!

[@mariecook7910]

Animals actually know before we do. They have a higher sense of perception of sensing when something is wrong with someone. Just like the can detect when something is wrong with a human and when a woman is pregnant before she even knows herself.

[@Sabbathtage]

I absolutely believe the baboon felt your pain. That those comforting hugs weren't just good timing. All of you at the foundation and that little baboon have great empathy. Some of my favorite stories about primates surprising us with their social side are about baboons. First is that some groups are raising wolves and feral dogs. I think adopting the children of a creature that can eat your children is amazing. I don't think the baboons were thinking "I can train this thing as a tool to help me.", that just helps this behavior continue. I think it started with "Oh my goodness that's puppy. That's cute puppy. I want that puppy." The other is about how a group of baboons lost all their most violent members when they caught a human disease from fighting over scraps from a restaurant. A new culture emerged in the group. The all-remaining males that were left were the more laid back, didn't like fighting and now they we finally able to relax around each other, show their bellies and even groom each other. These were pro-social behaviors never seen before in the male baboons and these behaviors and attitudes were passed on to the next generations. So basically they have a changeable culture like humans.

[@alisalauzon9291]

Those 2 cases are Intriguing, can those stories be found on you tube?

[@mikedup5399]

Alisa Lauzon Yes

[@tm13tube]

Crying is an overflow valve for being full of emotions. It is good. Definitely you both were being comforted. Cherish it.

[@jamesthompson3023]

hey brother at least he's not struggling anymore

[@semones57]

So sad for the loss of the baby...but how can you not love these sweet creatures.

[@NewfieCrystal]

I'm a new follower. This video made me cry and have sincere love for the people helping these poor animals. Thank-you for sharing.

[@VervetMonkey]

:) I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for watching.

[@staceycarbary9871]

Im so sorry about the loss of the baby monkey. You are a kind and beautiful man. Thank you for all that you do. Bless you.

[@kimmc7584]

I love how you share the stories. I'm so sorry about Butter bean, at least he had love, and he wasn't by himself. He was with people who loved him. Human or animal no one should pass alone. The story about the 2 babies and Holly coming in and holding those babies with all that love touched my heart. How could I not feel the baby Baboon love & understanding of what you all were feeling. What a blessing. 😢😢😢this was some sad yet happy tears. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@999Lumen]

You all did such good work for Butterbean - I know your hearts are aching - sending much love to all of you.

[@bryanreynolds8721]

This place looks amazing. I wish I could volunteer here. The baboon comforting you all was beautiful! Primates are really fascinating and complicated animals.

[@sandrarawn2147]

Great video once again! Thanks Kyle!

[@LupusWarriorBreeze]

Awe! While this vid was heartbreaking, I'm so glad to have been able to experience the beauty of life, death, compassion, & love by watching the sweet little baboon baby's expressions & interactions with y'all. 💕

[@lilirishgrl]

What a sweet baboon ❤

[@peggyzwicker1832]

Aww! Vervets are adorable! 😭

[@serenshadow89]

I'm so sorry for the loss. I know that not every traumatized and injured baby can be saved, and you've all worked so hard make sure the other babies survived, but it was still so heartbreaking to see. But at least he had great people to love and care for him in the end. Also, I have no doubt that the baby baboon sensed your sadness and was comforting you. There are so many documented cases of animals communicating with, caring for, protecting, grieving for, and even empathizing with those of other species. And I try to never doubt an animal's emotional capacity.

[@kathymacomber5115]

Butter bean knew he was loved and the care and compassion you received from the Babbon was so so tender. You are so caring .Awesome staff

[@jeffjameskorsing1890]

Ahhhh man Kiel... My heart sunk when you told the story of baby monkie expiring and not breathing. I got emotional brother, maybe one day I can go and volunteer some time of mine and help you guys out. Namaste

[@VervetMonkey]

Jazzi jef ✌️

[@tinasuarez61]

Yes. Baby baboon is very loveing & affectionate. They remind me of dogs in that they can Sense the environment. Vetvets are more aloof.

[@VervetMonkey]

msfigy such a true observation, vervets are way more aloof, they remind me more of nervous cats with severe ADD

[@barbara2976]

What a Sweet Baby Baboon.♥️. Sadly the Baby died, and at least he did not suffer.

[@ferretisland2945]

You are also absolutely right about your little baboon friend...his eyes spoke volumes 💗 When humans cry it must seem so visceral and similar to how they mourn. Beautiful sentient beings 💖

[@lexor521]

On the past 6 months I've watched these monkeys from all over the world get injured and died and I never thought I could feel sad and cry on the internet about something so far away that I had nothing that I could do about but it is true feelings that brings us all together that makes us feel good about but there is still good in this world and people do have empathy towards animals that we care about you're a good person Kyle I hope this makes you stronger in life.I think it is up too you keep up all the good work all you guys are doing a phenomenal job and I don't think I could do all of that type of work I would like to hold my little baby monkeys that's very cool but I don't think I could do all of what you guys do maybe 80% of it keep up the good work thank you for everything you do for helping these little monkeys out

[@randolphcatchot5421]

May God bless all of you for the work your doing with the little animal's, they need someone in there corner...

[@2ATVSANDOURLIFE]

Sad but I too could see the calmness he was communicating to you 2.

I won't lie that baboon looks so sweet.

[@BillizMuzic]

You, your staff, all the beautiful creatures in your care, are in my prayers. We affect people in ways u cant possibly imagine at times. You are special, u are also affecting these monkeys... you are blessed.

[@lynnemarais]

Poor Butterbean 😭😭😭at least he was loved and looked after before he died 😔😔😔. Simply love your videos xxxx

[@dinamcnasty]

The fostering is amazing to watch!!❤💕🐒💕

[@ferretisland2945]

I'm so sorry for your loss of baby Butter Bean 💔😢 He was so fortunate to have so much care & love, if only for a short time 💓 May he RIP over the rainbow bridge as a healthy & whole little babe where he can climb trees & play with others to his heart's content 💓🌈 Nora and Shemesh crack me up! Shemesh was holding onto her for dear life on the fence 😂 Little cling-on 💓 Nora is so patient too. So very happy to see all the bubs with their mum's💕🙏 It makes my heart sing 💖 Gentle hugs to you all and thank you, as always, for your compassion and selfless championing of these beautiful creatures💗 Blessings in abundance 🌸

[@swamp5050]

So glad I found you folks today, TY for the work you do! Love the babies and their stories, keep up the good works!

[@VervetMonkey]

swamp5050 I’m so glad you found us too! Thanks for watching. Have you checked out the VLOG entry video that I posted up a couple days ago? I think you might enjoy it. 😊✌️

[@swamp5050]

I just found you today, I'm watching your pass videos! Sorry lil Butter Bean didn't make it and you had to watch, I've been with my pets as they've passed, it's soul crushing to say the least. Don't think I've gotten to the entry you mentioned, but I intend to watch and follow all your video's. I have all due respect for animal conservation organizations such as yours who help and protect animals! BTW, the lil Baboon was beyond cute!!!

[@l-bird]

Aww, it's such a somber feeling to hear of little Butter bean's passing. Unfortunately death is a part of life. It had to cut so deep watching him struggle. Yet, by God's amazing grace, a baboon of all comforters was sent to help ease the sorrow. Humans fail to give credit to how observant animals truly are. Butter Bean's short life leaves a beautiful imprint in enriching our lives. You ALL are so loved!!!!

[@eagse]

Thanks for sharing. They're very cute.

[@pamelahollier4365]

Thank you for the update. So sorry for your loss. This week you made me laugh and cry all in a few minutes!

[@robinkrug1396]

I'm so sorry I can't image how sad that must be for all of you you do good work thank you

[@1Life2Live007]

Aww holly did so good with those two. They were so adorable holding on to eachother so tight.

[@lisaepperson9095]

I'm a monkey video addict, and the scene with Holly working her charms on the two babies is amazing. She has "assertive love." She knew just how hard to push them into hugging. So sweet.

[@hillcomonkey9030]

So sorry about ButterBean. The little baby baboon is such a sweetheart. He was a special angel for you.

[@kellydouglas3761]

Amazing Kyle ❤️ so sorry for your loss I have so much respect for all of you and for all you do❤️

That baby baboon is so amazing

[@jerrieschulz2034]

I love watching the babies look into their new moms eyes that first time,it is almost like they are thinking are you really my mom, beautiful.

[@l-bird]

Shemesh, Shemesh... I don't know why I love that name so much, lol... Norah lip smacking back at Holly was precious :)

[@AngelaJoyful1]

The way they hold their foster babies like a human ❤️

[@adriannegrillo8394]

First allow me to send my deepest sympathies to you all for your devastating loss. No Kyle you weren't reading to much into the demeanor of the baboon. Animals feel and sense a great deal. You were so right in sending it's feelings. It was so sweet the love it showed you both!

[@Crazylab1616]

So happy they are able to be adopted by new moms.

[@5cats2kids8]

No judgement, only love and understanding of your loss of ButterBean. I felt it all through you story and comments. You and your staff and volunteers are complete angels that I love and appreciate every single day. And although I know you won’t and cannot comment on the situation, and completely respect you for that, I need to say that I question the vet due to Butter Bean’s small stature. It makes me sad. No need to respond. I love your dedication and work. In my mind and heart, you weren’t looking too far into the baboon’s reaction. It was completely real.

[@holliesalvia7399]

You make this world a better place for us all! Thank you for all that you do on a day to day basis😊

[@VervetMonkey]
