What did Red do at 13:31 I've slowed down the footage and enlarged it and played the audio, but still have no idea.

[@brendajoycewhite5747]

Are the foster mom's fixed, or do they have their own babies.

[@VervetMonkey]

The males are vasectomised, there are some mishapps and females may get a baby

[@KB-tb3po]

Probably a dumb question but how do the babies end up getting hurt when the the Moms and Bandits fight? Do the Bandits grab at the babies and they fight over the baby or do the babies freak out when they see the bandits and moms fighting and instead of running away from fence they latch onto a fighting mom? Or a combo of both scenarios? Just curious because they always seem so aware and typically run away from commotion.

How does the little monkeys get thrush?

[@Bill23799]

15:25 Leo: Errr.....ehh. Excuse me Ma'am......I'm the baby. Gotta love me.

[@rentechpad]

I guess Vera was more stressed out over this whole foster mom selection then anyone was aware of since she seems to be a long time paed an neutricial cause for thrush or was she in an enclosure where those others had thrush? Even then a good immune system should keep her from getting it in most cases unless something upset the bacteria to fungus balance on the poor baby. I am sure she did not do it on purpose, of course, as most monkeys would have no idea where thruush comes from or what to do promote a case of it in themselves (even humans - we know what not to do to avoid it but not really what to do to bring it on, that is unless she does know the relationship between athletes foot and thrush and has been chewing on shoes, sandal or licking toes, to come down with it. However, in the most likely scenarios she is just a great deal more stressed out by all this then she is showing so no one could tell. Well, now she is back with humans where she obviously wants to be and has no notion that that will not be forever, and she will have to go be a monkey, It maybe though that she has to do it on her own and without a foster mother which means keeping her in DIsneyLand or an enclosure until she is much older. Since the comings and goings of possible foster moms and other adults seemed to stress her then she may actually have to be just with humans an babies until it can be decided which troop is most likely be accepting of a lone baby and whether she can really deal with the "wild" especially when it comes to sleeping in trees alone if she does not managed to pair up with another baby and foster mom or find an adult female willing to overnight with her. Vera is one of those cases where you really wish there was a detailed documentary on her life prior to arriving with you, Many monkeys kept as pets will often be more human-centric the others but usually with peers and determined mothers it's not horrendously difficult to turn it around. I may be remembering incorrectly as there are lots of monkeys to hear about and keep straight but she has never raised by humans as a pet, correct? She was one found on a golf course or somewhere apparently abandoned by mother and troop, I think? So unless she made the quickest bond in human-primate history and bonded to the person that rescued her or the person she was turned over to at the sanctuary, I can't imagine this is all about just waiting for whoever she binded with and not giving up hope. Plus monkeys are very capable, like their human counterparts, of having multiple bonds so she should not be rejecting a possible new one as she is still waiting for who or what she is bonded to, to show up. Even if released in a group of foster moms and babies and other female that intends to approach her is going to get the same reception, I am afraid, that the other potential foster moms got. And she makes the mistake of getting a bit wild and fighting if one of the higher ranking monkeys, of an alpha, attempt to befriend her she can quite quickly find out she is ostracized from the troop or actually ends up beaten up over her behavior from the troop she was hoping to be part of and spending a night in the feeding cage for safety until rescued by humans in the morning. So you have to worry about letting her out and then finding in the morning that she is not in as good a shape as she was when she was set free. It's quite a conundrum as to what to do with the girl. I guess she could have her heart set on one particular thing that she is looking at in a mom, but since her history sounds like she did not have a mom long enough to know what she wants and that mom actually abandoned her, not sure what she would be wanting. The only other possibility is that her abandonment was traumatic and involved a lot of rough handling to keep her from following and with no idea if she was abandoned where found or she was found where she gave up trying to catch up to her mom. She dies not seem to make a bind well at all - or else i would have expected by now to see her bind with another baby and that would lead me to think that even if she does not get a foster mom she could go with her friend and whoever that friend bonded with. What are the plans B, C and D if she does not finally click with a foster?
