Orphan baby monkey Rowan's injuries are a mystery.

Rowan arrived with a swelling on the skull, but other than that, this little orphan monkey was in good shape; x-rays revealed a fractured skull, so we can only assume it was a motor vehicle accident.
The Vervet Forest is a wildlife documentary focused on the lives of the monkeys at the Vervet Monkey Foundation in South Africa . We join the orphaned and injured vervet monkeys in their adventure and struggles as they battle their way through the foster monkey mom program to become part of a monkey troop again. This channel is for those monkey lovers who enjoy monkeys living their lives as monkeys should.

😂😂 He's fighting his sleep just like a youngen 😂❤❤

[@jensherman2771]

Precious tiny beings, each and every one of them. I could listen to their vocalizations all day. The sound is music to my soul. Thank you for the care you give them💛

[@julieprior3126]

Rowan has a very alert and interested face. Very appealing! His skull fracture doesn't seem to have damaged his coordination or balance so hope he will make a full recovery. I always feel that it's a shame you so rarely get a full or accurate account of their history immediately prior to coming to the VMF. It would help you so much to have that info. Shame. Great video. You really captured how expressive and curious this one is. Such a beguiling little chap!

[@TeresaRawlings-op2wh]

Beautiful baby. So glad you rescued him. Thanks for all you do for these innocent babies.

[@jennifer294]

Aww he's a sweetheart, I just love how he's talking throughout the video, ( the little noises he's making)❤Thank you for everything you guys do, They wouldn't have a second chance at life ( foster moms)❤

[@Ice_Queen_Empress]

How adorable sweet little boy 🫂 ❤

[@tonya8652]

Well thank goodness he is in good hands now and getting all the care he needs. It was also really great to see Rexie for a few minutes, he is growing beautifully and still loves his food all great signs. ❤

[@anomicangora4206]

Poor little thing is like a child who wants to sleep, but is fighting it at the same time. The bump on his noggin must really be uncomfortable. Thanks for saving him and the other orphans! 💖🐒

[@lisacolbert5987]

11:42 Oh my goodness , *that* was a blast of over-the-top cuteness . I’m really glad for him that he’s not suffering too terribly emotionally atm . And … that he’s in the next best hands that he could possibly be in !

[@NewyearsFest]

Oh Sweet little boy Rowan , you are truly such a miracle, get stronger little buddy❤ I love love love this channel so so so so much and Rowan is just one of the most special cases because of even being alive right now, and his sweet little face and just trying so hard to fit in and keep moving! GOD BLESS YOU ALL❤

[@sandrawilliams8335]

Wow Rowan is a beautiful baby monkey 🙊 😊😊😊😊

[@adriannegrillo8394]

Poor sweet little boy! Such an adorable face

[@Gaeill]

there are times when , if one focuses on Rowan, he seems to be doing some of the story telling- his indications', body language and sounds communicate as intended.

[@12BlockTokie]

You noticed that too, huh ?

[@beckyrogers923]

Little guy. Sooooo cute

[@ctconn35]

Aaww poor little pumpkin, get better baby. No worries you have a great crew there to take care of you.❤️

[@idbalendo]

Me maravilla el coraje y la ganas de vivir que tienen todos estos pequeños, pese a las lamentables circunstancias con las que llegan. Y gracias vuestros grandes cuidados consiguen salir adelante❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marlenepollard4982]

Rowan is so darn cute and handsome . Sending hugs and love ❤

[@user-ho6db7pv3d]

Rowan is my new favorite 😍 My grandson's name is Rowan, and he's more active than this cute little boy, his nickname is Mr. HotWheels🏃💨non stop, hopefully this cute little boy will be the same way❤️ Wish I was rich to give to your foundation, but will continue with the like button, and comments🥰

[@ms.harley]

Thank You for all you do. ❤

[@maybarnard1088]

Such a sweetie, get well soon Rowan.

[@monicaalvin8239]

Hello little Rowan❤ it is nice to listen to your exploring talking. I'm happy you were handed over to VMF in time to have a chanse to heal and meet a new mom. Thank you lovely VMF❤

[@Youra_Bonehead]

I think it's so hard when you have to retrieve these young ones from people who are trying to help. To me it would be annoying to have to hear the story and see how much work you will have to do to bring them back as close to normal as possible. I know it's appreciated on the help, but people should turn these babies in as soon as possible. You and I know they try to foster these youngsters. Thank goodness they realize that it's better that they get the real care that is much needed. You are all a God blessing for these little one, especially you founders.

[@PARHAM90]

This little boy is a strong little guy with a fractured skull and he's still investigating this little fellow has got a good life ahead of love him

[@seriavery7933]

What a sweetheart. He is a sweetie.

[@relax2dream164]

Such a sweet baby! I hope he heals quickly and well. ❤️🇨🇦

[@yvonnecole5721]

I can't find the words how precious they are and how much I love babies. If I were rich I'd have a sanctuary. I will never understand how or why humans can hurt them or be mean to them.

[@robw9986]

You can tell he isn't 100 percent. He's not as lively as the other little ones. I hope he makes a full recovery.

[@maxine3587]

Rowan is a busy little body. 🙂 He is gorgeous.

[@bonniehott7791]

Such a sweetheart, get better baby. They are adorable

[@michaelflude9334]

Thankyou your kindness lovely boy

[@mariemercier7654]

Cette petite créature va s'attacher à vous. Il est si mignon et ses petits bruits. Il vous aime ce petit. ❤🐒

[@gritskennedy5007]

What do you suspect happened to little one? Do you think he bit the man and the man threw him down ? Just unthinkable perhaps a dog or child had him and abused him. So awful poor baby. You are the angels that will guide him to his best healing path towards living his best life. If I had to be an animal in my next life I would sign up to be one of the monkeys that go through The Vervet Monkey Foundation. For sure. Like living among Guardian Angels for sure.

[@kayburgess8536]

There are so many baby monkeys that are so tiny

[@JMorgan67]

Aww, he wants to hug and suckle his mama to fall asleep. Poor sweetheart.

[@isabelmarie8201]

I was looking for this comment. I knew he wasn't looking for the right blanket. He was trying to find anything to suckle on. Poor baby!!! Too bad they can't use pacifiers!!

[@JMorgan67]

@@isabelmarie8201 She was right. He was looking for the best blanket, because he lost his mama.

[@maxine3587]

I can't think of many things worse than wild animals with pacifiers. ​@@isabelmarie8201

Very fitful baby fighting his sleep he really needs a bath poor thing

I love the little noises he makes! Thank God for your organization taking care of these little ones. He's curious about everything which is good. Heal quickly little baby.

Aww, poor baby, hope he’s ok❤

[@user-ky6pk5mp3o]

Arrive-t-il que vous ne parveniez pas à faire adopter un petit ? Qu'est-il advenu de la vieille femelle de 21 ans que vous aviez récupéré et des autres adultes du même épisode (notamment la mère et son petit)? Vidéo d'il y a 2 ans environ dont je ne me souviens ni de la saison ni de l'épisode.

[@jeanninema351]

pourquoi ne le faites vous pas teter au biberon.

[@elibell19]

He falls asleep suckong on a blanket. Why cant they have a pacifier? Im the wild he would fall asleep while suckling😢

[@2bignugly]

I believe they're trying real hard to keep the human element out of their rehabilitation. They do fine without a passie. If you notice, they don't wear diapers. I bet the volunteers wish they could but they have to get used to the peeing and pooping like the babies will do in the wild.

[@elibell19]

@@2bignugly I definitely don't want these babies wearing nappies, or clothes! I hate those channels. But I get the pacifier thing makes sense. It's just so hard to see the babies being so lonely.

[@maxine3587]

Pacifiers are ridiculous for wild animals. The little ones spend their nights in the staff cabins with round the clock attention. They had a ",pet" come in who was attached to a blanket, and it caused lots of extra stress and upset trying to wean them away from it.

[@jeanninema351]

couvre le il dormira enfin

[@jeanninema351]

donne lui son biberon il a faim il vient de mordre la serviette

[@maxine3587]

All baby animals bite things, it doesn't necessarily mean they're hungry, it's part if them learning about stuff.

[@12BlockTokie]

I wish I could have one pair to raise and love on constantly. I'm retired and I would love to have a pair of them hanging out with me in this big old house...

[@jensherman2771]

Perhaps there is a rescue center in your area that could benefit from your desire to help? Sometimes the small monkeys are to humanized to ever truly live in a wild situation. I am sure the rescue center could also provide classes on proper care of small monkeys. They truly are amazing. As are you! Best wishes in 2024💛

[@vshewett4333]

@12BlockTokie ...and change diapers for 20 to 30 years? Have their teeth pulled so they can't bite you or family? Keep them in a cage so they can't destroy your home? Get them fixed in hopes of calming them down??? Monkeys are NOT pets. Adopt a rescued cat instead. Please!!!

[@justlookingforatruth]

My impression is that monkeys are not really domesticatable without compromising their happiness and need for living in the wild with other monkeys. But oh my gosh I understand wanting to be closer to them, they are such amazing animals.
