Thank heavens that when people find babies like Mara, they take them in and look after them until they can get them to you. You do such an amazing job, giving these little ones another chance at life, with a new troop. Thank you!

[@idbalendo]

Thank you for the work and love❤❤❤

[@geebrewer8186]

Mara is a little doll, so cute. And her play face is wonderful.

[@pambaxter2643]

I'd much rather be watching these beautiful lil bundles of fluff than a bunch of men chasing a ball up n down a field! Lol! Happy Gobble Day y'all! I am thankful for this dedicated team selflessly doing their best to make sure they leave this world a better place than when they arrived. ✌🏼🫶🏼😘

[@lillievalentine8800]

So sweet. One of the few babies who likes a bath.

[@timmied8461]

Little Mara is the most chilled baby while getting a bath that I've ever seen! Just look at her face at 7:35, she loves it, almost as good as a milk coma! Thank you all at the VMF, we love you! 💖🥇

[@virginiaviola5097]

Oh my gosh, Mara is a little doll. What a sweetie pie.

[@renatezylla1421]

Welcome cute, litte Mara with the big beautiful eyes...You are in good hands and care now! Thanks for this video!

[@ickiedeer-lamb7282]

Hi @dave and vmf gang. I like it when Thursday comes because I look forward to you and your little guys.

[@deborahkimball-billups6405]

Another reason to be thankful 🙏 These beautiful souls are lucky to have such a great place to live and another chance to get a momma. Live close to the way they should have been able . Thank you Dave for the devotion you are putting in from your own life to help them . Selfless beautiful soul ❤ 🙏 ♥ 💕 💖 And thank you for bringing this to the attention of the world as well . I truly believe it makes a difference.

[@tngrandma242]

I think Mara enjoyed the bath. You have had some videos where the baby fought so hard to get out of the water. It is so good to see how the orphans from previous years are living their best lives. Thank you for all you do and especially for sharing it with us.

[@korrinschilling9909]

That sweet Lil girl was pretty calm during that bath!

[@deborahkimball-billups6405]

Great job you guys are awesome

[@mars715]

I’m in Love, My name is also Mara my middle name is Lane, just in case little Mara needs two names,Mara Lane would really be perfect because she resembles me 😂❤❤❤, What a wonderful place you have I wish I could come to South Africa and help you.. If I could I would.. keep up the wonderful work, I wish more people were like you.. You do know what your doing.. Blessings, Mara ❤❤❤❤❤

[@billsmith5166]

I've never seen a monkey enjoy a bath that much.

[@tammywooley2635]

Oh yeah look at those little eyes, she is closing them so she is enjoying being bathed

[@jadurrance]

Pascal has had my heart from first sight. If is so good to see him doing so well.

[@ScrambleLynne]

Loving the outro music you played at the end of the video! Keep up the amazing work y'all do for these monkeys, I'm very happy to be one of your monthly subscribers!

[@julieprior3126]

Dave, we are happy that you manage to get a video out to us at all given how busy you all are at present. Thankyou for that. I always love to see the vertical take-off the Vervets can do and having them in slo-mo is even better! What muscles they must have in those hind legs! 👍

[@VervetMonkey]

So nice of you

[@aimeecombs5029]

Mara has such a sweet face

[@karenfrance2382]

She looks very happy 😊

This was so awesome to watch this week thanks! 💗

[@delmarieyandell249]

I'd like to see the releases.this is why I watch to see them get their mothers.

[@giano56]

I would have thought her a pet--she seems comfortable being handled

[@johnnydeppappreciationclub]

Mara is such a lovely monkey, love her play faces! ❤️ And Hugo, boy can he jump! 😅 Thanks for another great video Dave, Josie, Jamie and the whole VMF team 🤗❤️ Looking forward to next week! 😉

[@erynporter9951]

Hugo is another great example of the wonderful work the VMF accomplishes! Hard to believe that the VMF has been rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys for almost 30 years, that's Amazing!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Sending blessings and prayers for a happy, & healthy holiday season and for a quiet and prosperous new year!

[@amylongtocrochet]

Hope ya'll have good week! Mara is the sweetest!

[@VervetMonkey]

You too!!

Wasn't Toni the one who was very Frail when she came in and Josie actually brought her back to Life? 🧬🥰

[@raquelsosa1]

Gracias

[@dorothydeese759]

Thanks for the video Dave. I enjoy watching a few every day trying to catch up. I have learned so much and I don't watch the bad chanels anymore. It breaks my heart to see the babies and their moms being abused.😢

[@VervetMonkey]

Glad to hear it

[@ctconn35]

Another video anxiously waiting for. The new little girl is doing so well along with the others. Thank you again for a great video and everything you all do❤

Там в каждом парке есть приёмник с ветслужбой. Обезьянки которые у частников в основном варованные. Эти люди спасают малышей, ростят потом выпускают.

At 18:10: Is it Abby or Martin who makes the great sideways leap? Clearly these two were kangaroos in a previous existence.

When they come in they're so sweet and as they grow they become more magnificent with each passing season. I've previously encouraged everyone to watch how Josie miraculously brings Toni back from the verge of death and this is the link to see her do her magic. Notice his coloring compared to pink-faced healthy babies: Below is short cut: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3yYeWyXnaqGn6s see my comment on this page for the short cut.

[@loriannmcgee4062]

I love your channel! Are the monkeys spayed is that how you get the foster moms.

[@josiehumble5907]

We vasectomise the males.

[@allisons1245]

She definitely acts like she is very used to people and baths. Even closed her eyes when you washed her head, as if the soap might get in them. They had her for more than a few days.

[@jeremypreston5009]

I wonder if ferret shampoo would work well for them? Ferrets have very dry itchy skin and require as little bathing as possible with exceptionally gentle shampoo (otherwise they overproduce oil and the oil is what makes them so musky)

[@vasekbarhon]

Moc bych chtěl takového tvorečka.

I'm glad to hear that Mark is finally back! I missed meeting him when I was at the sanctuary a month ago. 🫤

What is the white animal in the cage?

[@carolynmcpherson2667]

And these older monkeys, including Tesha, Red, and Rahni. Why are they in a cage rather than being out in the troop?

[@neptunusrex5195]

This was so heart warming 🥰 perfect Thanksgiving episode! 🥳 It’s so amazing how resilient these monkeys are and the phenomenal level of care these little monkeys receive. Best care anywhere! These monkeys are so great when you watch and observe them you would never even guess the various things that happened to em in their earlier life. Watching and observing them you would guess these were wild natural born and raised monkeys. The level of care and success of your program and the foundation as a whole is a testament of this. Well done VMF! Best care anywhere! 😎😍🥳🐒

[@heatherbrown9972]

How can I adopt one

[@VervetMonkey]

you cant

[@dorothydeese759]

Monkeys are not meant to be pets. They belong in the wild. Even though they are cute as babies they grow fast and become hard to handle. Many of the babies at Vervet Monkey Foundation were pets and it didn't take long for them to be dumped by the side of the road. Sometimes people bring them to the Foundation with stories of finding them by the road or in the forest but the babies are used to people and already used to a bottle. They even have diaper rash.

Babies pee on their moms? Don’t they have a way of stimulating them to pee on command on the ground?

[@kristennelson2480]

She pooped int the water and they keep cleaning her with it 🤢

It was changed just after the video stopped

[@neptunusrex5195]

Happy Thanksgiving to Dave, Josie, Mark, VMF, and all you’re wonderful amazing staff and volunteers! You are doing God’s work, the efforts and sacrifices you go through to give these monkeys a chance at new life is amazing! May God bless you and everyone you work with in this endeavor! 😇🙏😎🐒 By the way since it’s Thanksgiving, make sure all the monkeys get some extra sweet potatoes from main feed if you can spare it 🍠😋🐒
