"Rescue Mission: Fearless Derek, the Injured Monkey Blocking School Entrance! 🐒🚨

In a heart-pounding rescue mission, meet Derek, the adult male monkey whose hunched presence was causing quite a stir at a school workshop entrance. Everyone was hesitant, and for a good reason. Derek, it turns out, had a traumatic encounter-possibly hit by a car, leaving him with muscular trauma and rendering him unable to move.
Join us as we embark on a compassionate journey to rescue Derek and provide him with the care he urgently needs. Watch Derek's incredible tale of survival and hope! 🌟👏 #MonkeyRescue #DerekTheBrave #WildlifeHeroes 🚑🌳
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.

I absolutely love the sounds these monkeys make when they vocalize. So much of their communications are silent and to hear them adds another dimension of loveliness about them. Thank you for all you do for the tiny orphans and even the grown guys with with big teeth. May love and light be returned to you with more than your heart could possibly hold so it spills out to everyone around you. Thank you again💛

[@korrinschilling9909]

Thank you for looking out for these creatures, and doing it in a way that keeps them as wild and natural as possible. ❤😊

[@lynnbuonomo7611]

What would these little guys do without the love and support from the VMF? I have been thinking of volunteering for some time now, but I keep thinking how I will be able to handle the abuse the monkeys go through. You ALL are amazing people, and I hope you Know how much we as the collective appreciate and admire the time and effort that you give on a daily basis to these beautiful animals. Thank you for all you do💕

Your care is doing wonders for Derek - within just a few days he has regained his strength and can move some of his limbs...

[@watcher685]

Simply…WOW….what an AMAZING recovery so far… thank you for saving Derek. He is such a sweetie

[@julieprior3126]

What a mystery! I guess you'll never know what happened to him but thanks to all of you he's recovering nicely and has a strong will to get better. He certainly was hungry and thirsty! Feeding porridge thro the cage was messy job for you! He's very appreciative of the menu on offer - he may want to stay!

[@melissatapley4527]

Thanks for all of you for the life changing things y'all do for these precious creatures God gave to the planet. Your hard work is amazing! Thanks for helping all of them from the babies to the big boys with big teeth.

I'm catching up on past videos. I hope Derek has made a full recovery and, back with his troop? Oh, and hopefully didn't bite anyone? Thanks Dave! 💙

[@jillybean4480]

Thank you so much for all you guys do for Derek and all the sweet monkeys.❤️ Love your channel.

[@Wendy-cj5yz]

Derek may be a male who would have his place in his troupe. His vulnerability and accepting help was very moving. Derek was a lucky guy to come to you. Good to see him improve. ❤❤

[@judysoderlund7680]

So glad Derek’s getting better! All due to your fine efforts once again! Very well done - you are working miracles every day! ❤

[@shirleywolak2929]
