Vera Joins Skrow Troop and Gabe Goes Heavy On The Grass - Vervet Forest - S2 Ep23

[@mctron22rd]

These vervet monkeys for the most part, are just full of love and acceptance. I have never seen better monkey manners when it comes to so many other species. They have a special place in my heart, right next to Sweet Pea!

[@beckya1823]

BEST video this season!!! It reminds me of the older videos, spending more time with each baby. It is so nice to see them all doing so well. That play time was so darn cute!! Hopping like bunnies, jumping and running, you can tell how happy they all are! Thank you!!

[@saraanderson6615]

That was so cute watching the baby monkeys playing with each other out in the troop.

[@stephaniecressell8625]

Gabe has been my favorite since he first arrived. he has so much personality and its just so cute

[@omgitsshatner8197]

Great video.. you could really see the difference with this experienced troop. As soon as the baby cried, three monkeys ran to her and she was cuddled till mom returned...these videos make me so happy

[@marybrantley2160]

When Gabe comes up close to the camera, his little face is so precious!

[@picketfence2028]

So happy for little Vera! Gabriel is absolutely adorable. Very nice integration, well done everyone! ;)

[@Wendy-cj5yz]

So lovely to see Vera progress to the full troupe. All the monkeys are just fascinating to watch ♥️♥️

[@renatezylla1421]

I can see, that all this monkeys have a happy life now - THANKS TO YOU!

[@nancyjmilner7495]

I love watching the babies hop around and play with one another!

[@barbarageorge7848]

Do I hear a cow?!?! 😂🤣 So, it’s a tie between Belle and Gabe... who’s crunch n’ munch I love the best!

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

I absolutely love the banter between you and Tori, you must have so much fun workìng together, and bonding with such wonderful people!

[@diannebdee]

I love Tori so much. I love her dedication and what she does to help the babies. She's a star in my book. And I love hearing Kyle's giggles.

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

@@diannebdee I completely agree, the love that Tori shows those babies, and her dedication to them is immeasurable. ...and I can't say enough about Kyle, his giggle, his smile, and the fact that he's given his life to improve the lives of these precious animals, what an exceptional human being. They are just the two we see the mosr, I suspect that piece of land in South Africa, is home to some of the most incredible people on the planet, and the fact that they choose to share their lives with us, is overwhelming!

[@diannebdee]

@@quietinspirationcreations3448 I admire anyone who gives of themselves to show any animal compassion and grace. I follow PAWS Ark2000 in California who gives a home to elephants who have been mistreated in zoos or circuses. Same with the Elephant Reserve in Tennessee. Both have channels here on KZbin. I also admire the work actress Tippi Hedron does on behalf of big cats who have been abandoned as pets or from circuses and zoos. To the Vervet Forest people my respect for them is immense and I thank Kyle for bringing their work to my attention. Yes, Tori is the one we hear from and see more often then the others, but I want them to know I admire them for doing this work on behalf of these cute little guys and gals. I hate the Vervets are considered "vermin" there. That's so sad any animal has to be called that. And yes, that Kyle has brought us awareness of these babies and moms and dads is not only wonderful, but heartwarming. Kyle's giggles are cute gotta admit.

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

@@diannebdee I couldn't agree more, I have the utmost respect for anyone that gives of themselves for animals, and can't begin to describe my level of appreciation. Living in Eastern Canada, and having felt a special bond with monkeys for as long as I can remember, the only time I get to see them is on TV (youtube, movies) or in a zoo, and I don't even think there's a zoo with one, inside 1000 miles! They are definitely a special group!

[@Darrenbrown68]

@@quietinspirationcreations3448 Amen to that! 2 thumbs up. Watching monkey movies has become one of my favorite pastimes during this pandemic. Not only are they entertaining but I have learned so much and they certainly help to destress. Here are my 4 goto KZbin channels: - Vervet Monkey Foundation (of course) - Arroz Marisco - Kiyo - JW (When searching KZbin add 'monkey' after the above channel names in the search box.) These are all professional, high quality film channels by dedicated, caring & respectful creators. If you aren't familiar with all of them I recommend subscribing to all 4. They all have great playlists where you can follow different troops, families or even your favorite characters.

[@lb3426]

And please... we need a full episode on the life and times of Vera... she captured everyone's heart!

[@stephaniekondos7965]

Kyle and all staff and volunteers - outstanding work over last few weeks. Gabe and Vera would have no chance to thrive without the prolonged effort you all put in! Hearts and soul effort !

[@thepatriotpartyofamerica]

Beautiful babies

[@juliathomas1255]

A happy ending for little Miss Vera ❤️❤️🙏.... been waiting for this for a long time ..... she is very much her own monkey 🐒... look after her Bernadette..... she’s unique!! X ..... Gabe is really into that grass 🤣🤣.... what a lovely episode a great big well done to the whole team ❤️❤️ .... keep doing what you are doing.... you guys are the best thing that could ever happen to those orphaned babies. xx

[@kich6172]

Good call on showing just Vera and Gabe on the video. I feel so invested in these two! LOL To see Gabe bouncing around so much and those monkeys running to Vera when she received a shock from the fence were such happy moments; a far cry from where they were just weeks ago. Congrats to everyone working with these little guys. You have to be so proud of them.

[@kris10rose68]

This has to be one of my fav episodes...so adorable watching Vera and Diane so precious and I have a monkey crush on Gabe! He is so so precious I'm in love!!!😘🐒💓💓

[@Shelbegt]

Gabe has the cutest little face. Thank You for sharing your video enjoyed watching it as always

[@solars9656]

A very satisfying video Kyle! So wonderful to see little Vera with a buddy and a mom! Worth the wait! Gabe was such a cutie as well!! Thank you!

[@mickeymcmillen4875]

great video- I love watching the babies jump up and down as they play- pretty humorous to watch!

[@debbiecoyne]

Those baby monkeys that were jumping around like bunny's while the were playing had me laughing so hard. It was really the cutest thing. I could have watch that all day.

[@Bill23799]

Haha thank you all for this fun and happy video. I think it is something we all needed.

[@l.johnperry4072]

You and all the beautiful ladies there are doing so much positives to help Vervet monkey troops . And without you guys in place those poor beautiful little baby vervets wouldn't have a chance at LIFE!!!! Thats huge Kyle... A+

[@jaxel7691]

You're right, that was a happy episode. :) It's awesome to see Vera finally being not only chilled and playful, but confident even! It took a really long time, but she finally got there, thankfully. Bummer that little Gabe is by himself, but he looked awesome! And although he's being cautious of getting to close to the fence yet, he didn't seem to be stressed out at all. So adorable too! Cheers Kyle, and everyone at the VMF!

[@SweetButDeadly101]

A gorgeous, peaceful episode Kyle, thank you! We got to hear the sounds of the VMF daily life, including the neighborhood cows and co-workers banter. Very relaxing. Keep up the great work! Much love from Downunder xx

[@susieturk1]

The world is cheering for Vera❤️

[@alisalauzon9291]

You guys are awsome being there and committed to these little monkeys! ☺☺☺❤❤❤🙈🙉🙊❤❤Its good to see Vera taking the initiative to go to the troop looking for Bernidet!

[@l.johnperry4072]

And thanks to all of the medical staff or our 3 legged baby wouldn't be out with a new mum and troop starting new home. You all are so awesome and you probably hear it all the time how wonderful you all are...

[@tngrandma242]

I am glad you did not cut out any footage, I loved every single second. Thank you.

[@audgester]

Little alien Gabe is too adorable and it is great to see Vera get along well in a troup!

[@heatherlongacre4246]

Kyle, I wanna thank you for this video! I really needed it today, I deal bipolar disorder and the last 2 days have been mental Hell for me. Getting watch Vera, Diane and Gabe being so adorable, really really really helped me feel a little better. They have also helped me decide to be reincarnated (when it's my time to be) in a Vervet Monkey Foundation troop. Just so I can care for and love a cute baby fuzz butt. And just to be clear, I will only accept being reincarnated into one of the VMF troops. You guys do such an amazing job caring for these monkey's! Thank you again for the pick-me-up that I so desperately needed!!!

[@suzithewitch]

I'm sorry to hear you've been going through hell. I hope you're not going alone!

[@lb3426]

This was the video we needed!!! Miss Vera and Gabe living the monkey life!!!! Can you also add some wallpaper options on the website with some of the later monkeys? I have Maysie and Lydia but would love to buy some of these two.... and Dougie.... :-) This will have to do until I make it over as a volunteer later this year/early 2020!

[@janelashure7676]

Your commentary is informative, well spoken and fun! Thank you for the great vids and for being their caretaker🙂

[@teach4him2]

SO much adorableness all in one place!!! YAY for Vera! LOOVVEE how cute Pacco, Diane, Vera, and Gabe are! Again, Thanks for all your HARD work with these sweet babies!

[@lerigby2473]

Dang guys...between the banging & hammering.....plus some body go milk that cow!!!!!.....anyhow...great vid ...glad to see Ms. Vera got over herself....im sure Diane really helped her with that....but Bernadette is extremely patient...great to see Pakko & Dougie being wildmen....but Gabe took the video over....he has finally grown out of that refugee camp orphan who was delivered to y'all...i think he is just adorable....his absolute fascination with eating grass....its like everytime i see him he's got grass stuffed somewhere in an orfice....just munch munch munch....

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

Okay Gabe, he really is adorable. Thanks Kyle and all who work so hard to put this together for us to view. Your comments of conversation with Vera and mum was funny.

Am I the only one who had to go back and replay the "hopping" bit at 9:24 a couple times, laughing out loud!?!?

[@debi8318]

I love watching these adorable babies. Thank you.

[@kich6172]

Don't remember if I've commented on this before: I like how you balance content between Instagram posts and KZbin videos. It's nice to see daily snippets of life at the Foundation that we may not see in the videos or insight to what may be upcoming in the videos. Great job!

[@HotTakeAndy]

I know it's been said a thousand times before, but dang they are cute when they eat. If a human ate that loud, you'd smack em' in the face. But when a vervet does that, it's adorable!

[@susieturk1]

Or my Dog. Her jaws smack when she really enjoys something.

[@susancaballeroaloui4756]

I wish you had a live feed up (with sound of course lol), although I’d miss Your commentary!!! But I understand the Internet is not the best out in the forest. Kyle I just wanted to say thank you for opening my eyes, for educating me about something so very important!!! I look for your videos and get so excited when I see a new one pop up in my notifications!!

[@ltsam55]

Where'd the cow/bull come from? I laugh every time I hear it.

[@Darrenbrown68]

OMG! I absolutely love Dougie & Pakko doing their rendition of "The Hop" dance. It all begins at 9:24 after they exploded onto mum Alice and blew up her grooming session. Alice was so relaxed and they just crashed down on her. Those nutballs are hilarious! Really if you watch from 9:24 to 11:00 they both continue their dancing. Alice keeps peeking over to where her groomer went and when she realizes that she isn't coming back to finish the job she gets her kiddie revenge with some playful bites and tail pulling of her own. A priceless interaction between 2 very FREE & HAPPY vervet monkeys and their new mum. Of course, it's all made possible by the awesome crew at Vervet Monkey Foundation and Kyle. Just think of the physical and psychological condition of these lil guys just weeks earlier. It is AMAZING that our little cousins have people like VMF watching out for them and giving them a second chance. Side note: How can anyone consider these guys and their species vermin when they are 90% the SAME AS US? Think about it.

[@Em-mp4hf]

Gabe is so f**** cute! I cant get over it!

[@rhonwilli]

It's interesting that some babies seem to consistently pick up food with their mouths and others with their hands.

Hello from the other Side of the World... Sweden.. I have just started watching this channel, and I am several years behind I know.. but it has been a good of a feeling whatching you, with this pandemic (sorry for the curse-word now) shit... I have two questions... I am sure you have answered them already but II still ask them., 1. The Fostermoms (praise them!!) Do they lactate? Can the fosterbabes drink milk from them? 2. This thrush-fungia - how often does it occurs in the wild? The poor fellas in the babe-inclusion seems to have it often.

[@VervetMonkey]

No the foster moms dont lactate thats the reason for the feeding or milk cages Im not sure it does occur in the wild, it normally comes from humans

[@RN-MA]

hey kyle!! thank you for all the work that you guys do!! question! I was wondering why it seemed like when Gabe was eating the fruit in the enclosure that it almost looks like he spits most of it out or its falling out of his mouth or something?! haha :)

[@VervetMonkey]

sometimes they just chew it for the juices and spit the fibre out, this process also helps provide food for others

Kyle - this video was lovely -thank you. Question - all the adults seem to smell Vera in a different way than they do with any of the others. Is that true?

[@Bill23799]

I have a question for Torri. I noticed at the beginning of the video it seems Kyle's adult canine teeth are coming in. Does that mean that you, as Alpha Female, and the other senior ranking females in your troop will be forcing him out to live in another troop?
