Walk the Road | Blondes | Quiet Walk to the Dam | Heading Up | Surprise | Part 2

Again, please ignore the date stamps.
Continuing down the road after a long stop with Primrose and family. A brief appearance by Marigold and Goldie - thought I would see them later but they stayed out of sight.
While the monkeys have a routine of coming to the road in the afternoon, every day is a little different - from where and when they emerge from the forest, interaction with other troops, casual feeders, regular feeders, people and traffic on the road.
Not too much action on the way down, but the road gets busier coming back up.

they really are striking looking, the Blondes

Thank you GEM! Although I love AM, MC and JW's videos, I also really appreciate your editing style, just focused on the teaching about monkey life and their specific behaviours! No 'disturbing' music, just the monkeys, their sounds, and the facts! 🇸🇪

Glad you like them! I too love just listening and watching the monkeys (I can do this all day long!) - and trying to understand their communication, behaviour and community - i.e. their ecology. I do use some music created specifically by Jimmy Wright Jr. for the videos - his musical interpretation from what he sees and feels when watching the monkeys.

I'm just a blonde loving the blonde monkeys 😊

I enjoy your observations, the details you provide such as mentioning how habituated the macaques are to humans as evidenced by the way you could approach them without any reaction on their part. I've been watching AM, JW, MI and now you GEM for many years and although I knew this already, it's not something I would have reflected upon now had you not brought the subject up. More importantly, there are always new viewers coming on board and if they are like me, they are hungry to learn as much as possible and your observations help them know and love these monkeys like we do. I'm so glad you've added your channel to the others documenting the happenings at Monkey Hill. You seem to have learned the names of many of the monkeys quickly (or maybe over a longer period that I realize!).

Nice to watch your vid, GEM

Very interesting, wish it was longer.

More to come!

We have no Monkeys in Europe!😢 Just in Gibraltar on the Rock!😊 I hope i come one Day to Monkey Hill Hong-Kong, to see your beautiful Monkeys!😃

[@katie3235]

Me too

[@yvonneconte3040]

No monkeys in USA either, well except Florida, but that's 30 hr drive and they're aren't that many. Would love to go to Hong Kong, monkey hill😊

@@yvonneconte3040there are also rhesus in Beaufort, SC on Morgan Island. You cannot go there but can see them from a distance. Sadly they are being farmed for labs now as Alpha Genesis has gained control of them.

[@rebeccaduffer5722]

I am glad to see a direct comment in regards to the human feedings and the severe risks involved. Most people cannot comprehend the negative impact it causes. These rhesus live in the wild but are far from wild primates. They are completely desensitized to human presence which should cause pause. I cannot say I even agree with the feedings. At least take it away from the road. Too many are killed by vehicles for that very reason. Helping is hindering especially since primates are easily motivated by food.

Glad you enjoy it! Part 3 of action camera will be posted soon.
