*These animals are not pets they are rescued wildlife undergoing a rehabilitation program at a vegan animal rescue and rehabilitation center called the Vervet Monkey Foundation in the Limpopo province of South Africa*

[@michellebaumbach]

Well I just found one of my new favorite monkey groups to watch. This is the first one I've watched and they are beyond adorable.. my heart always goes out to the poor little babies that lived in human homes and have to go through this kind of adjustment.

[@chereecargill355]

I'm looking back at these old episodes and realize that little Maggie will grow up to be a foster mom herself.

[@koisneurotypical]

Fighting off a whole troupe of bandits, while holding two babies, and one baby screaming and freaking out. Mother of the Year right here. So impressed!

[@ruthwatson4242]

It is wonderful seeing theses foster mons treating the babies so well. I am accustom seeing the real moms muss treating as sometimes causing the death of the babies

[@Lora-M-NY]

I would imagine the pets wouldn’t know that these “strange creatures” are like them. How would they know!? Must be terrifyingly

[@Cuupi]

The only one fervet I can identify is Merlin.. That little one has such a different face feature compared to the rest. I wonder how are you all identifying each one??

[@VervetMonkey]

Cuupi they all look very different in person, you get used to it. It’s hard to see on video, cause in real life you get closer and different angles.

[@sunnymagnuson1809]

Paint a dot on their head

[@l-bird]

Timothy and Merlin to the rescue after all that banditry, yay!! The kiss from Cheyenne was really touching. It really blows my mind how the adoptive moms stay with and watch over the babies in their care, beautiful! And, Kobe, you have no idea about all the new friends you are going to make. Good job Kyle and everyone at the Vervet Monkey Foundation!

[@VervetMonkey]

lbird ☺️☺️✌️

[@kelleybowen4553]

I’m so glad each episode is getting longer and longer! 😁 I can’t wait till we get a full 30 minute show or maybe even a hour long one to watch! 😉😂🤗

So cute !! Thanks for the narration. Make watching more interesting.

[@VervetMonkey]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like it :)

[@zentierra7803]

Loved that you showed that bit of chaos, because there is _always_ some kind of chaos involved in any animal fostering 😆 It was quite the shock intro to "monkey dynamics" for that little one, who had been a pet, but looks like it all ended very well. Love the obvious camaraderie between y'all too!

[@VervetMonkey]

Zentierra 😊💚 Yeah! It was impressive how quickly Conjo settled and fell into his new life.

[@christopherfranklin4760]

After all, they are wild animals. That little one was essentially scared shitless.

[@dinamcnasty]

My favorite part was watching the foster mother stay calm and hold on to the babies, and try to comfort them while ready to fight and protect them. I also love how she seemed not to worried because the human troop had it under control, it's like she knew it would be ok. What a great video , thankyou!😍😍😍💕🐒💕

[@biggirl1842]

Omigosh, A new episode!!!! I'm sooooo excited. Made my day. Thanks everyone @ VMF. Humans could certainly learn a lot from these guys. Stephanie, New Brunswick, Canada

[@VervetMonkey]

big girl 😊 Thanks!

[@noniemac]

Poor Conjo! He was terrified! Thank goodness for Merlin, Timothy, and Cheyenne!

[@VervetMonkey]

NonieMacB They really helped him out 😊

[@renatezylla1421]

This was a shock for Conjo - I hope he will be able to trust any of the foster moms...he needs a mom...

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

By far, the best episode yet! I can't wait to watch it again, loved that it was longer, and that we got to see a little of the, not so perfect side, of the work you do! It's absolutely amazing to see them do, what I think of as 'the meerkat stance', so they can get a better look at the world! Can't wait for Saturday, Monday, and of course, next Thursday morning!

[@VervetMonkey]

Quiet Inspiration 😁💚 Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@shirleyleichliter4487]

Exciting vid today man those babies are so cute 😍

[@valerie362]

Wow! If anyone needs a reminder that these aren't cute little pets, watch the bandit troop. I totally get the confusion but they were fast to gang up and pretty scary!

[@Baby-Ghoul444]

they are so cute i really wanna come and help out then i see that GIANT ASS CENTIPEDE AND IM LIKE NOPE ILL STAY IN CANADA WHERE DEMONS DONT GET THAT BIG

[@VervetMonkey]

LOL.

[@tomkjr1]

Amazing how the vervets demonstrate their intelligence by occasionally outwitting those pesky humans!! lol

[@VervetMonkey]

tominator lol, they’re masterminds of the “hey look over here!” Then someone swoops around behind you. Lol

[@kathymacomber5115]

I really appreciate your narration and explanations... so confusing at times

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

Kathy Macomber That's why I tend to watch more than once, Lol!

[@kathymacomber5115]

😏

[@VervetMonkey]

Quiet Inspiration 😁😁

[@mimi2-3]

I agree! The narrative helps so much!! You got this Congo!! (Love the calming lip smacking!! 😆) So glad you guys are there to give all these guys another chance at life!!! Looks like Cheyenne is a foster mom in the making!

[@VervetMonkey]

hahah, I think Cheyenne is already ready to have a baby! Except for her little mood swings where she just wants to smack them.

[@stephaniewoods8132]

It's so heartwarming to see them grow up! They have darker faces and fluffier hair. Do you get any more little bitty babies or is that part of the season over?

[@VervetMonkey]

Stephanie Woods The babies are only born between November and January, so right now the youngest monkeys we receive are generally 6+ months old. Check out our insta - @vervet_forest we just received a new baby girl who was attacked by another Vervet (most likely) and we had to take her to the vet

[@sazae]

It's like trying to watch over a bunch of unruly kids that don't want to listen

[@VervetMonkey]

sazae hahaha, yeah, except they don’t even understand what you’re saying.

[@kim3295]

It amazes me how the foster moms understand what their job is when you let them into the enclosures one at a time to meet the orphans. It’s truly inspiring what you all have dedicated your time to.

[@VervetMonkey]

I'm continuously impressed by their compassion as well. Thanks!

[@MoonmaidenNYC]

OMG Conjo/Konjo ? was scared out of his wits & screaming !! Poor little guy!! Wow, what a ruckus by the bandits !! Great to see him eating & playing !! Jeffrey & Tricia's love affair just got complicated 😜LOL ...Maggie was saying "What, what's this? Hey, Where am I ?" LOL...Nice to see Stick (In the Mud LOL) And, he seems to be doing just fine!! Welcome Coby to the VMF !! Thanx Kyle for narrating & for sharing this video with us!! 💞Vivi💞

[@VervetMonkey]

Moonmaiden NYC 😊😊😁💚

[@xena9748]

These monkeys are great escape artist. It would have been funny if one of the monkeys were named Houdini. Thanks for sharing this update on your conservation work.

[@emutak1218]

Amazing episode again! Today we can see a big spectacle. 😜Thank you Kyle for sharing with us.

[@VervetMonkey]

emutak1218 😁✌️ Glad you dug it!

[@mandyholmes4395]

Awesome job guys!!! Can't thank you enough for the amazing jobs you all do. Love these videos Thanks for sharing it. Sending loads of love and prayers for you all!!!

[@VervetMonkey]

Thank you!

[@t.n.tolbert4456]

That move to the intro enclosure was wild! Is that common for the bandits to swarm the area like that?? Poor little Konjo (sp?) looked so scared. I’m super surprised (but glad) that he was able to calm down so fast seeing as how he’s a former pet. Great episode!

[@VervetMonkey]

Tahisha Tolbert Yeah, that’s how Vervets fight. They are very territorial and they loooove fighting through the fence with DnD because their sleeping area is right beside the enclosure. Basically that falllen tree in the background that you can see, that whole area is their main zone, so most of them were already hanging out, but also no one wants to miss out on a good fight lol. Yeah, Konjo impressed everyone that day and Merlin and Timny definitely helped 😊 Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it so much ✌️

[@citylemon7832]

So much excitement in this episode!!!

[@VervetMonkey]

citylemon hahha yeah!

[@MsAmaya15]

Thank you guys for all you do!!!!! I only wish I had the resources to make an amazing impact on the world like you guys do!!!!! I have learned so much from sanctuary vlogs that teach people how to support creatures in wildlife the right way. My passion is animals and going to sea world, or swimming with dolphins, or going to the circus and paying to get in is supporting these animals in captivity and allowing these animals to be treated inhumane and just all sorts of wrong things. I have since realized that my dream of swimming with dolphins is solely for me and they don't have a say. Doing all these things that these animals shouldn't be doing for the pleasure of humans. Although we don't think we are doing harm we don't realize that we are. These animals deserve to live their life not based upon our happiness and desires to be close to them for our enjoyment. Truly supporting them is in the wild or a sanctuary. I have told my children the same thing. Although magical experiences can be paid for they are not magical behind the scenes. I'm rambling but just wanted to say that I have learned so much and I hope people follow suit!!!! Btw is there an age limit on volunteer work? I would love to do this with my daughter who is 13. I think this would be an amazing experience to do together. Thanks guys

[@VervetMonkey]

Kara Beltran your absolutely right and I’m so happy to hear that you have changed your mind and make such an active effort to inform others, that’s very admirable. 18 is the minimum age, but we have had younger as long as they volunteer with their parents, I think 13 is a little too young, but please email [e-mail] to inquire further. ✌️

[@Muensterlaenderin]

What an exciting day 😁 I can not say enough at all what a wonderful job you do and I'm looking forward to every new video .The Foster Mums are just amazing and Maggie is incredibly charming 💞I wish you all a wonderful weekend and thank you for your devoted work

[@VervetMonkey]

Thank you very much! :) I hope I can continue to keep you entertained and informed. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@l.johnperry4072]

Noticed the mums are so loving, compassionate towards their own and orphaned ones. Amazing. I'm hoping soon that I'll be able to donate some money for them beautiful bsby vervet monkeys that give us pleasure in watching. You and all the people there who love and care for those babies are god sents. It was cool when you had baby baboon who felt sad when your baby vervet passed on. So sorry. Keep doing the good work.

[@VervetMonkey]

Leo Perry 😊😊✌️

[@sarah.harasboucher5202]

Absolutely love re-watching the past season. They always crack me up when they fight especially with the bandits they get crazy....the noises they make when fighting, playing, happy, upset, scared or eating are so adorable! It’s almost like they laughing or saying YEAH YEAH HAAAHAA YEAH YEAH.... and seeing the babies throwing epic tantrums are the best! This quarantine craziness is clearly making me even more insane!! Hope you are all staying well and safe!

[@gigijohnson3211]

I love these videos. I wish there was some other area or country they could be relocated and safe.

[@nicolakirton2252]

It is amazing and inspiring to see monkeys of all kinds showing how intelligent they are, and that, if only we pesky humans would leave them alonoe to live their lives peacefully and securely, they would get on perfectly well without us. Loving these videos and seeing there arer some humans in the world who want tto help these monkeys when thtey are in trouble. Thank you so much for these videos.

[@dvrrn36]

Is there a place were and list of supplies I can send?

[@megstark9940]

Hi Debbie, we do have a wishlist of items we use and need! Unfortunately it costs us money in customs whenever we get a package of supplies sent to us (sometimes even more than the cost of what the package contains!) but we always have volunteers and interns traveling to us that we can send items to. If you contact [e-mail] I'd be happy to forward the list on:) Thank you so much!!

[@cheryltregillis1127]

Your commentary is very educational. And entertaining at the same time.

[@tamarakennedy4976]

We love you guys for all that you do there is so much labor and effort these videos show what looks to be lots of upbeat happy yes concerned people so if anyone who watches these videos has actually done any volunteer rescuing not just for a few hours then off ya go, but actually taken on round the clock dedication to any rescue and rehab then release volunteer work you will agree it is not for the weak or those who dont like work or those who insist on putting themselves first, there are sleepless nights endless worry but hopefulness abundant, there are times when you are emotionally drained and feel as if you are not making much of an impact, but when surrounded by like minded people not only your head but your very soul is in the most loving nurturing kind most solid human beings you could ever hope to know let alone be surrounded by, when you give of yourself you will find all thast your soul longs for or has been missing, it is only by losing yourself that you are truly satisfied with the most amazing gift you could never buy and the only gift most yearned for that you can only earn by giving of yourself...that is love...when you rescue and you put your whole self in that precious life or every life you are fighting for the universe and you are one..it is so hard to describe, you are safe amongst the people who share your efforts it takes everyone involved to put their whole heart into these rescues it is so much more than just doing the right thing, it is living the right way, being the change, not jusdt talking about it, but living the change this world so direly needs right now. I am often alone in my rescues but it is a phone call away to be rejuvenated when i call a friend who also rescues, it is a call to her that gives me that support that funny conversation about the rescued orphan looking fat fluffy and happy and me needing a shower a good nights sleep and a comb through my tangled matted pony tail..its the deep anguish when no matter what u have done you still lose the battle and an orphan dies, that is the worst feeling as if your own has died. It is not for the weak, and yet it is the most powerful gift that makes you so strong each rescue, it is the courage to shimmy underneath a building to retrieve a weak crying kitten or bird or baby racoon or oppossum or squirrel or hummingbird or falcon or hawk, or bunny or puppy..wild animals that bite while you are rescuing them or other predators attacking you while you are taking their lunch aka baby or injured animal from them. All these things believe it or not are beyond description in your soul every single step you take towards the goodness of intent and always keeping aware that these adorable rescues are released properly and if you cannot promise to help then dont be an egomaniac and only give rescues partial effort it is all or nothing. Dont be a crazy that has 56 animals to one person because that is unrealistic and cruel to hold them hostage barely keeping them all alive. Be kind to one another, life is sweet.

[@gmatwotimes]

It’s a beautiful monkey!!!

[@heatherhart7533]

Question, why wouldn't you let them play with the toys?

[@VervetMonkey]

Heather Hart we want them to play with natural objects like sticks and leaves and seed pods and each other. Toys are not found in nature and they create strange dependencies that later have to be broken. We like to do our best to keep their enrichment as close to nature as possible.

[@jcastanza]

They make the coolest little sounds! But what does it mean, is it anxiousness? Curiosity? Nervous? Do they ever make that sound when content?

[@VervetMonkey]

Every sound they make has a different meaning. All those emotions are represented in their sounds, including contentment.

[@Bill23799]

OK, I think Acorn should get 30 days in the " Cooler " for organizing the Great Escape.

[@VervetMonkey]

Bill23799 😂 in a way I guess she did when she had to stay in the intro enclosure with baby Lou and Acorn absolutely hated it.

[@Bill23799]

haha You should have given her a baseball and a baseball mitt to play with for the 30 days.

[@VervetMonkey]

Bill23799 I swear I saw her fastening some avocados to the ends of sticks. I think she was trying to make herself some dumbbells.

[@Bill23799]

[@VervetMonkey]

HA! it's true. He's usually got the darkest face next to Timothy, but he's also still got a strange jaw, its like more squished up and out than the others. :)

[@gmatwotimes]

Yay it worked out good!!!

[@marygingg8005]

I am a relatively new viewer. I love your site & especially all that you do for these precious monkeys. I have 1 question - what causes the adult monkeys to lick their lips in a rapid fashion, what is the meaning of it? I have noticed this, also, in other kinds of monkeys as well. It seems it is mostly the adults who do it or it is the most noticeable. just loooove watching you all working with the monkeys; also, I love your narration so we know what is going on & why.

[@jlesliejournals]

What the heck was that black thing crawling at the begging? 🚫🐍

[@VervetMonkey]

Leslie 😄 it’s a millipede

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

[@lillieherold7943]

That's GREAT, BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO BE EVEN LONGER! Vervet Forest Continue As You Are Doing And FORGET ABOUT THESE COMPLAINERS!

[@madhouse7364]

Do you also take in adults? I imagine that process is more of a challenge, I would assume troupes won't accept outsider adults so readily.

[@VervetMonkey]

MadHouse736 * yes we do. Many ex-pets and injured monkeys who cannot be released back to their troop, and various others. It’s always more of a challenge to integrate an adult, but it has its own method and we are very successful.

[@FilmerOfBobcats]

With wolves you can easily integrate a pup up to 6 months old into an existing pack. Beyond that age, they lose their "puppy license" and are treated aggressively like strange adults. Is there a "baby license" for vervets during which they are accepted readily and their impolite (to other monkeys) behavior is overlooked?

[@megstark9940]

Hey there! It is certainly much easier at times to integrate babies as opposed to juveniles and adults, especially when they have been kept as pets and haven't grown up with "monkey etiquette". However, our integration process is very much based on the individual and sometimes it takes some of them longer to learn:) Our integration team is patient and follows their lead so they can form bonds and learn the ways of the vervet to eventually become a successful integration, as long as it may take. In the end, it's totally worth the time and effort once a monkey becomes apart of the troop :D

[@VervetMonkey]

FilmerOfBobcats yes, there is definitely a point where the babies are no longer looked at as babies. It’s generally around a year old, but even with some of the ex-pet 6+ month olds the moms aren’t interested, it’s more the juveniles who make friends, but the adults are a little more respectful of the age than say if it were a 3 year old monkey, it comes down more to fear on the individuals part than actual aggression from the troop when integrating the younger ones, but even then there can be the odd one in the troop who has to be isolated during an integration just because they cause so much stress for the young one trying to join.

if they integrated together - although males will follow the inherent dominance structure

I still didn't really understand why they all got mad at each other. It looked like the ones outside the cage got mad at the ones in the cage, but I couldn't really figure out why.

[@BillBlast7372]

18:35 It looked like mom & baby were dancing a little bit, especially since you can hear the music in the background, lol.

[@VervetMonkey]

[@kathym6969]

What was that big snake looking thing crawling in the cage??

[@VervetMonkey]

kathym6969 lol it’s an insect it’s called a millipede.

[@SweetPea4EVER]

No that was definitely a big black snake

[@reedecker9416]

That was intense. Poor little guy was overwhelmed. Good hockey moves Everyone ! Way to go!

[@AmziAsher]

I still think it’s nuts that the moms go to war with their baby latched onto them. Vervets are my favorite. Any noise they make is super cute.

[@lbcruzn6254]

Wow that was a total monkey dust-up. Too many mothers wanted the same thing. 😀

Monkeys don’t miss an opportunity it would seem

[@mikeparker5792]

Lol Finally some good action to go with all this cuteness, you need some action once in awhile to counteract all this cuteness.

[@VervetMonkey]

Darth Malicious 😄

[@l.johnperry4072]

[@evawinemiller7087]
