Monkey saved from drowning

[@idbalendo]

Esto es la guinda del pastel: tras tratamiento devolverla a su tropa. 👏👏👏Gracias por todo lo que hacéis, equipo ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am always impressed by how you manage to return a monkey - after treatment and care - to the wild and to its troop. It is not your goal to give them a life in the Foundation. All your efforts show that your always want the best for each monkey.

I so love that reuniting with the family is your first choice 💕 Lucky Maddie that the manager came along and knew about the Foundation.

[@adriannegrillo8394]

[@theopinionisthighqualityopinio]

Well, this was just great! Everything worked perfectly - the mine manager knew who to call, you guys did your usual wonderful job, and little Maddie is back with her troop and happy! It couldn't get any better than that!! 🥳🎊 Thanks very much for all you did and then for allowing us to share in the experience!!

@@korrinschilling9909 I don't know why my comment showed up as a reply to you, rather than the stand alone comment it was meant to be. Sorry about that!!

[@korrinschilling9909]

Can you explain who or what are the bandits?

[@azilgaard]

Having watched many VMF videos I gather that the Bandits are vervet monkeys who happen to be living in the same area where the foundation is located. The Bandits live completely free/wild. They’re not living in any of the foundation’s enclosures, they’re not fed or anything so they take care of themselves. But they regularly stop by to see what’s going on at the VMF. Although completely independent the VMF have helped Bandits if injured or in need of medical attention. Afterwards such monkeys are released back into their troops just like the little monkey in this video. Edit: Just thought I should add that the Bandits aren't part of the foster mom routines. So new rescue babies are not given to Bandit moms - the Bandits make their own babies.
