[@Wendy-cj5yz]

This little Zachis such a cutie & trying so hard to overcome his injury. Thanks for being there for him and to the dedicated team ❤❤

[@Kim-lc3fv]

I'm glad to see the progress in Zach. Thank you for your dedication. 🙏❤️🐒❤

[@mofolk8896]

Delightful to see Zach lunge for that papaya, and to get a visit with some of the special needs kids & elders. I love how organized you are with monitoring everything 😻

[@susieq3235]

I am enjoying the shorts on you tube from ya'll. 😊

[@NDbred]

I love watching your videos! Today, I especially valued seeing your checklist and hearing about how you clean up all the food scraps. Thanks so much.

[@melissatapley4527]

Thank you everyone at VMF for doing such great things for God's creatures, everyone and everything deserves a fighting chance. I pray Zach continues to recover, he seems to be getting better by the days. Thanks everyone

[@TheAnniebannie1]

I don’t know any of you and I absolutely love you. You do such wonderful work and you do it with love. God bless you.

[@SweetUniverse]

Little Zach's injuries will heal. I've been having strokes over the past year & my brain, at 60 yrs old, keeps repairing itself. Little Zach is so young. He'll get better. ❤❤❤

[@Bill23799]

God bless you Dave and all the beautiful creatures at the Vervet Monkey Foundation. By beautiful creatures I mean the monkeys as well as the staff.

[@timmied8461]

Thank you guys, that was another really interesting video again today! I admire your attention to details while keeping a check on the different troops and the individual monkeys! It's nice to see what good health they are in, although some of the individuals do have their own disabilities, they sure couldn't be in better care! 🙏 😘 (I Wish you had more volunteers to help!)

[@jennifer294]

He's absolutely Beautiful ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@cpchehaibar]

You know, I like birds very much and being a dog man, I don't think monkeys are my fav creature. But what you do makes you my absolute favorite kind of creatures on the face of the earth. Respect.

[@johnathanbrewer7271]

Bless his bones!!!! Bless everyone who is caring for him!!!

[@dorothydeese759]

Nice to see Zach doing better. Thanks for all the care you have given to Zach round the clock. Nice to see the other monkeys and how they are doing.❤

[@lucymartinez4182]

[@joannerist7473]

Love seeing and hearing about the troops. Glad to see Zach improving. Thank you for the care and work you do to save these monkeys.

[@ATXInv]

Sweet baby!

[@NewyearsFest]

My heart melts watching just how safe he feels and the love and care you share with them daily ❤

[@maxine3587]

Really lovely video. Watching Zach eating was so enjoyable. 😊

[@LisaMarieLove1]

He is so precious. ❤️

[@renatezylla1421]

I hope that the positive developments for Zach continue even if it will take a long time for his basic instincts to regress. All the love and care and medical care will give him a longer life. Thanks to your great team!

[@julieprior3126]

Fantastic episode! What a great treatment plan you've designed for Zach. So much thought has gone into offering him the very best care. He's certainly getting a lot of nutrients from the varied diet and he seems to love all of it! Seeing round the enclosures and the monitoring sheet was very interesting. Great video and great commentary as always. Thankyou.

[@2ezee2011]

'There is always hope." until there is not. For good or bad ALL things come to an end. Humans can be cruel but we do not hold a candle to Nature. Awesome to see what you have done for Zack but the reality is in nature his life would have been over in hours. Keep up the good work.

[@monicaalvin8239]

Thank you for your fantastic well organised work to give these little monkeys the chanse they need to live a good life again. So happy to see that with your patience and knowledge Zach can improve despite grave injuries. ❤❤❤

[@dtulip1]

I think the right eye is still a pretty good indication of how his head trauma is healing, its much better than it was, this is so lovely to watch his progress 🥰

[@BarbSmith-qx7ly]

You guys are amazing ❤ I love watching your videos and seeing the great work that you all do, and seeing that you didn’t give up on little Zach and seeing the update on him I’m amazed at all you have done to help him get better it’s so beautiful and inspiring to see, you all are truly amazing and awesome people you can see how much you care about these babies and I just love it. Thank you all for everything you do for these babies ❤

[@nottykarn7529]

Very cute baby 🥰🐒🐒🤟💕

[@teach4him2]

[@brendajohnson2300]

Absolutely loved seeing his progress snd watching the best vervet team in the world. Love them and what they do...can we see brendakaye one day?❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DiMonyet]

Thank you, thank you for a Zach update! I was terribly worried after the first video. The gentleness and consistent care routine for him by the VM staff is amazing. Everyone is so dedicated. I hope (please) you will give us an update video very soon? I love you Zach. 😘🥰

[@joanncoopertroupe3506]

Poor Zach.prayers for him still. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I pray his Head Trauma gets much better.,.

[@LaurieLT88]

I would have never expected Zach was going to make it.

[@teach4him2]

POOR baby!! I am crying! I am SO thankful that you are taking such good care of Zach and that you aren't just putting him to sleep!! Will you take care of him, if he cannot be released??

[@ickiedeer-lamb7282]

Hi guys❤❤❤❤❤

[@janendres5369]

Thanks

[@susieq3235]

He is enjoying his grapes. 😂

[@luvmonkeys]

Thank you! Do Monkeys remember? Do you think he remembers what happened? He's such a sweet boy.

[@jennifer294]

God Bless you Guys for helping Zach, And there's a special place in HELL for the ones that was seen kicking him!!!

[@margaretpeggymitchell3138]

Finally!!

[@tammywooley2635]

If he doesn't bounce back from his injuries i trust you to do the right think if his quality of life is permanently damaged and he would not be getting better and not let him suffer

[@julieprior3126]

Been meaning to ask this but kept forgetting... When staff go into the enclosures to rake up the excess food, or do any kind of jobs, how do those workers stay safe? Do the monkeys avoid them or can they be aggressive towards the 'intruder'? Also, how do you usually capture one from a troop if he or she needs to go to sick bay? Thanks.

[@pegberthold3988]

Question....what is it about bricks that some monkeys are afraid of them?

[@clairer.7136]

❤💛💜

[@beckytotten4245]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bill23799]

Do you have signs on the inside of the enclosures as well warning that the fence is electrified?

[@chriswoodruff2293]

What you rekon the monkeys need To read it?

[@Fadedecho1]

Monkeys are something. They just can be so loveable and behaved. In a nano second u hear the screeching. The jumping then it begins. He is beautiful ❤

[@JodylM]

I'm curious. When they get their wild instincts back after a brain injury, do they remember the caretakers and realize the caretakers aren't going to harm them?

[@marymciver6026]

Oh, he looks so much better. I’ve been keeping up. Give him a little hug for me.

[@kayburgess8536]

I have a cup of gimli so cute

[@teach4him2]

What is Groomindales?

[@missmurrydesign7115]

Delicious...

[@Bill23799]

Being that this is a non breeding sanctuary I assume that means the males have all been sterilized. Has that changed the normal Vervet Monkey troop social dynamic for the males? Is there an alpha male ? Is there any aggression between males or alliances formed between them? Do the females care who has the bluest personal equipment?

[@tammywooley2635]

Hope his head injury hasn't caused permanent brain damage but it looks he is as good as he is going to get, if that happens then i hope you seriously consider the quality of life issue. It will be hard but you need to consider he may not get any better. It looks like he might have some permanent neurological damage.

[@gemmacastellina3841]

POOPaya is a great food for constipation!

[@janeevans5132]

I will be surprised if he is ever normal again too much brain damage poor little thing. I hope he will be able to feed himself but I doubt he will go wild.
