It sounds wonderful, when you say: "We beginn our trip home" . The foundation will be really a home for every little orphan, which you pick up from diffrent places...

[@waitaminute2015]

It says alot of the foundation to have return volunteers! I'm sure it's very rewarding to know you made a difference in these little babies lives. Thanks for the video.

[@Laura-xs3te]

I think the work your organization does is remarkable. Thank you to you and all your staff!

Thank you so much!! Amazing job everyone is doing!

It's fascinating to see how the babies and caregivers try to read the expressions of one another.

Thank you for the kind hearts for the little ones,having them go back to we’re god wants the little ones in the the forest.

[@usapatriot2642]

Such an amazing thing these volunteer s do. I'd give anything to be a monkey mom at this place for a summer. Just for the experience and to help. This is an amazing foundation and I love watching the vids and donating. Wonderful people right here!!!! Praying for you all.

[@timmied8461]

These little babies are just so cute, but it's really very sad that they lost their moms and had gone through all that drama when it happened! BUT, Thanks to Everyone at the VMF, and All the friends on social media, and All of the volunteers, and All who donate money or make purchases, All this is in support of those beautiful little orphaned babies! They will now get a second chance at life , and with a new mom that will be (with time) as Loving as the first! 🙏 💗

[@TheBardy07]

@@ClownWhisper if you actually took the time to look into what these guys actually do then you would know they DO know what they are doing. They are put with foster monkey moms and then released into the troops in the foundation. They have helped 600+ monkeys/orphans, so I think they do know, unlike someone who wades in with no knowledge of what they actually do. Would you rather they took them without check ups to see that they aren't injured and put them into a troop they don't know and who doesn't know them, and possibly put them in total danger of being rejected again, or worse still killed?

[@lisacolbert5987]

I love how the sweetie was put on the floor after she was checked out and ran directly over to Ellie and climbed up her leg. Of course all of the people in the room were wonderful people , but the little one recognized an angel.

[@sandrarawn2147]

🇨🇦 thank you so much for making these videos and sharing them with us! I could, and have, watched these little sweethearts for hours! The process these babies go through from the moment they get dropped off from Dave's truck is amazing. I just love watching them through the process until they meet their new moms until the day the mom's take them out into the troops! It's just so heart warming to see. I love you guys! All of you's! Thanks again and I look forward to the next video!

[@kratkyhomesteader9043]

While you have been overwhelmed by many babies and few volunteers, I''m very happy you have volunteers arriving now, especially with two new babies rather late in the season. Busy, busy times for you. One concern - once a commodity has gone up in price for any reason, it never seems to go back down to the original price structure even when the reason for the increase is gone. I hope this will not be so for all the fruits and vegetables the monkeys require in their daily diet.

[@totallyterri]

I'm so happy these monkeys are far away from all of the Asian KZbin monkey abusers. I wish they had someone to resuce them from the human hands that cause them so much pain and torment. God bless you all for helping instead of harming these precious babies.

[@lisacolbert5987]

What a world of difference between how Dave(?)(can’t remember the gentleman’s name who ‘owns’ the foundation-nor the woman’s name. An exceptional human he is - they both are ) , but what a huge difference in the way he is with the little guys and that dude who handed over the new orphan in this video . Grabbed at him/her so aggressively and held it one-handed , out away and upside-down on its back . It’s clear he doesn’t consider how traumatized and scared they are ) . My shoulders up under my ears until it was in Dave’s care and on its way to the foundation .

Ulku and Art are so cute! I loved this episode since it was all about the babies. But when the babies cry it breaks my heart 💔 and I almost start to cry myself. Thanks for sharing these wonderful videos with us about the great work you are doing there in South Africa.

[@amybush9066]

I watch the expressions on the staffs faces and how they just immediately fall in love with these little ones. Must be so bitter sweet to let them go with monkey moms. I very much enjoy watching. Just give me a pillow and blanket...I could live in Disneyland with all these babies. It would be so much fun

[@tanyatigermarshall7878]

Lol sometimes I wonder if these monkey's are thinking like in this case, like" woah my hands were empty two seconds ago I run across the cage and * poof* baby in my arms to heck with this birthing stuff!" Lol so damn cute gosh I love this channel and everyone and animals in it!! And of course superman Dave! I am so happy you have the extra help, I would give anything to afford to come and help hands on! But as that can't happen I have been doing what I can otherwise. Oh question when floki is set with his home will you make a video of the process? Would love to see his full story, the trials and tribulations in the life of Floki the baby vervet mascot! Xo

[@cassandraarias8298]

[@themrs.candyseflagler3022]

aww when the blanket was pulled.. Luka was right there, baby wasnt to happy to lose her blanket but she finally got got real good snuggles... Luka is such an amazing foster mom...can you give her a sweet snack (from us viewers) for a being epic ? lol how baby's rear is up at 4:50.. luka grooming the new lil girl, hasn't stopped lip smacking since the little girl was placed in the cage towards the end.. elise just loves her blankets.. when the new showed up .. she only had interest in which blankets were sift enough to her liking

[@fayhansen745]

I really like the young lady with the blonde hair. She took her time at making sure the baby monkeys was washed really good. 😂

[@YaYa-lz1zt]

At first, the newest little baby seems to say, “Not the mama,” with every little bit of milk from the syringe lol. I’m so glad to see him taking a bottle with a bit more interest in the morning.

Ulku is a feisty one and Art got a temper. Perfect match!😁 🤓🏴‍☠️🇸🇪

[@jimrossi7708]

I like orangutans but once I laid my eyes on vermets I changed to really digging the vermet monkeys plus the guys and gals that care for them, please don’t get me wrong, but the ones that care for the orangutans are also super, just some of the people who make videos on the monkeys from Cambodia are a bit sketchy !

[@lennarthagen3638]

Whats vermets?

[@vg7735]

Yes, the Cambodian ones are dodgy! Check out 'Arroz Marisco' he films rhesus Macaques in Hong Kong.

[@maggiesmith4689]

Sketchy? Most are cruel. The first baby monkey videos I saw was about a, Cambodian I think, he was taking a baby to the vet. I thought it was very responsible of him. But he was dressing his babies in clothing and diapers. He had several babies of different ages. After about 2 weeks of watching him, he took one of his oldest babies to a place in a town and released the baby with absolutely NO training on how to take care of itself, how to forage, how to relate to other monkeys who tried attacking it. He rode into town on a motorbike and had to shoo the baby away from him. The man was the only person it knew, he wanted to go with his "daddy". And "daddy dearest" pushed him away and rode off leaving a very confused, ill prepared, probably a 4 month old baby, to fend for himself. That was about the last time I watched that channel. Then I found VMF. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for caring, loving, and taking such good care of these special babies. You give them the love, the nurturing, the skills needed to make it in a Troup. You are angels for them. And I'm starting to cry at all you do for them. They are tears of happiness and awe for what you do. God bless Dave, Kyle and all of your past, present and future volunteers. I have loved every one of the babies you have helped to have a very "Vervet Monkey " life.

[@kaseymigliaccio2519]

"Vermets"? I believe they're actually called *VERVETS* .

[@JillofAllTrades2]

Yes, Dave. Thanks! Loved that it was extra long. If you’re going to take the time on sharing videos and it’s not a lot of extra bother, longer is better for me. If I’m short on time or not interested in something I pause or fast fwd. And, rewind when I am 😁 👍🏻

So, I’ve been a subscriber for some time now. I’ve know these little vervet monkeys were small, but I didn’t know just how TINY they really are..that is not till I saw Dave holding the new monkey he’s brought in. These little things are tiny!! Oh so adorable though. :) I’m glad you all are there or think about it, these babies would most likely be gone, dead. :( Thanks all for what you do!!

Cute little babies. I just love watching them run around and the sounds they make too adorable. I love the mommies and how they care for them. It s very interesting to watch them very amazing. Do the mom's every take more then one baby? After the babies leave do you ever seen them? How often. do the mom's come and adopt? Thank you all for what you do for the babies.

When they leave the enclosure with 2 babies to one mum if there is a fight or danger or rank fighting or an aggressive male the mother who is and has been attached to that first baby carrying that baby and snuggling the other baby when out in the wild what becomes of the baby without a mum?.i mean they cannot climb or run efficiently and not too sure they know where to go and hide from danger or do they run off by themselves becoming or being so new to troop are they on their own ?

The females have alliances with other females and are protected by them aswell as previouse siblings

@@VervetMonkey so any babies that have been introduced to the troupe after being groomed through the enclosure for weeks become familiar with that baby even though it is not their own born into troupe member and will all be aware of scooping up babies in a troupe or enemy attack?

I don't know personally but I have seen in some videos that the babies will still suckle the adopted mom for comfort, unless the baby is lucky enough to get a mom that's milking at the time. But they are a non breeding sanctuary it not very likely, but I believe they said there are some moms that have had their babies naturally but I'm not sure as to what circumstance they do that. I hope I helped a bit
