🇨🇦 you all are amazing people with huge hearts for what your doing to save those sweet monkeys. I love, LOVE, watching your videos! Seeing the babies come in so frightened only to see them a week later bouncing and climbing and as healthy and happy as can be! I love the process of when they come in to seeing them adopted and going out to start their new lives with their new moms and families. It's just amazing and so beautiful! Thank you all so so much for making these videos for all of us to watch and learn. Love to all from Ontario Canada!

[@lunartears6761]

You guys definitely succeeded in showing precious Gimli that ‘being a Monkey is fun’. He was so sad and depressed and then he got a foster mom and it’s all he really wanted and needed.🥹👍

I LOVE ya😮and your big ole hearts❣️I have herded most of family and close friends to watch this amazing program! Dave… I know you have a huge crown in Heaven waiting on you. I’m trying to figure how to get my old butt there to volunteer and spend time with all of you and these beautiful, amazing creatures. I want to adopt them all!😁So much love, prayers, and faith for the continued success of this beautiful ministry . 🥰🤷‍♀️😘

@@VervetMonkey Not only have you done a wonderful job, but your narration is fun, and your voice pleasant to listen to. Have you ever considered working in radio and/or voice-acting.

[@julieprior3126]

Has Laura left then? I hope not! I love her voice and I agree with her about the 'weirdos' in James Troop. I like that they are a bit off beat, but most of all my heart sings to see Gimli now. You all must feel very rewarded at how you helped that tiny, very unhappy little soul pull through slowly and flourish. I think everyone must have a soft spot for that little fella! Thanks for a great video. Oh..I love Osge's fluffy side whiskers too!

[@waitaminute2015]

Interesting about how climate change may be responsible for out of season births. I wonder how the troops react to these newborns and if it affects the balance in any way. Thanks for another great episode. PS, I just realized floki is available on your tshirts, so I had to buy myself one. Floki is the most inspirational vervet imo!

These monkeys have quite a good life, so wonderful, i wish they all could be saved! Animals are so amazing!

Great video..thank you for posting..

[@billsmith5166]

It's surprising to find out that Vervet older sisters are a real pain in the neck too. I'm beginning to think it must go way back in the evolutionary tree. Is there any way that you could prepare my lunch and send it to me every day? It all looks so good and well prepared. Stay safe!

What an adorable new baby. He arrived just as you all thought you get to sleep through the night. Lol. I am sure you don't mind. He is too cute. Love watching James troop. They are all so much fun to watch. They all seem to be full of mischief. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed seeing all the monkeys. And thank you all for caring for these beautiful monkeys.

[@Phoenix-76]

You know, it's pretty cool that the foster moms automatically know what to do. It's like they trained themselves. It's wonder to see. ❤❤❤❤

I am impressed by Jethro - maybe he can be a good foster dad for one of the new orphans...

As a human that had five inches removed from my large intestine (age about 64), not cancer, it is a very difficult surgery to recover from. I have had several other abdominal surgeries including hiatal hernia and it was by far the hardest in all aspects. Best wishes to all the monkeys.

When baby season comes again...Id really love to have a chance to name a healthy baby girl. My Aunt Terri past away almost a yr ago and my cousin is really struggling with losing her and how she past. My Aunt was the most loving and generous person. She also adopted me when I was young and I think this might help my cousin to heal. ❤🐵❤

[@carolynmcpherson2667]

What a lovelyn thought. I am sure your Aunt would have approved this idea as well.

[@VervetMonkey]

best to email [e-mail] and ask how to be put on the naming list think its around $100 to name one

Awesome, thank you!

[@rentechpad]

It's hard to jump to the conclusion that climate change is the sole reason for an out of season birth since primates kept in seasonless enviroments in captivity will not procreate out of season. And long before there was noticeable change in climate, decades and decades ago there are the mentions in primate literature of the occassional or rare out of season birth. What is most mysterious is how this infant survived in apparently decent condition as many out if season births tend to be rejected by mother and troop as a liability that they can't deal with during winter months. This one however was apparently cared for by its mother or a human up until it was taken to be brought to you. It's possible that the person that had it that the couple got it from actually found it abandoned as it does not seem at all upset with being cared for by humans

[@VervetMonkey]

Very observant another strange thing is they had infant formula and a baby bottle not something people would normally have when just finding a orphan and handing him over

[@ccan2087]

I believe they gave several possible reasons as to the unusual birth. You are jumping to conclusions that they are saying it as fact. They were simply giving an opinion. Mellow out, they are doing their best in narrating the video for people like me, in that I know nothing and I appreciate the education and hyposocist of why something may have happened. It really is disturbing when viewers criticize. There are more productive ways of having a debate or simple conversation if you dont agree with something said.

[@territroublled7585]

I have a couple of questions that I am sure you have already answered but here goes: how long does the mother/baby bond last? Does the mother get a new baby each year? Does the orphan, if female, become a foster mother herself when she is the correct age? If the orphan does in fact become a foster mother, does the “family” include the original foster mum? Thanks for answering these, if you have time.

[@VervetMonkey]

the bond for females a lifetime, not necessarily, very likely yes, yes it would

[@bitsabelle]

Hi, I have looked everywhere but I can't seem to find the answer: How strong are vervet monkeys ie. Their physical strength? Can a full grown male in his prime, hurt a human being?

[@VervetMonkey]

they can bite very badly but they no match for a human we would win in confrontation fairly easily - if a human was the same size they probably would be about 4x stronger

[@adriannegrillo8394]

I missed ehy some monkeys are called bandits. Does anyone know the answer please and thank you

[@bitsabelle]

Love it thanks! 💗

[@sherylwhite7433]

When the baby monkeys grow up do they have babys ?

[@VervetMonkey]

they can but no they dont

Name for new baby- middle of the year- (MOTY)

[@sherylwhite7433]

How old are these babys ?

Could it be that he was born to a pet monkey mom? She might be out of sync with seasons.

[@three-eyed_magpie]

00:38 "do not give human attention" - what exactly does that mean? I imagine that giving the wrong type of attention. like treating a monkey in a humanizing manner, like a pet is inappropriate but I'm sure everyone at the VMF knows not to do that.

[@VervetMonkey]

we have volunteers coming in on a monthly basis - so no not everyone knows that and we have learnt to assume is when mistakes are made
