It’s great to see that Rox came out of his shell. Glad he found a male friend in Jethro.
I love little Rox he sure is a little trooper and fighter!! His relationship with his buddy Jethro is the cutest ever! You guys are the highlight of my week for the last couple years...THANK YOU!!! 🐒 💗
I tend to use them when I feel bad, I'll restart the whole sequence and watch through, take my headphone out to let the commercials fully play out. I see 30 min commercial and I'm like WHOO.
Rox found his perfect family!! Thank you for sharing. What a transformation!!
This is just the most heart warming video of Roxy. After all she's been thru she is happy.
The healing processes of this little monkeys are amazing...this time it is Rox getting better after the operation...
I love Rox story…how he arrived ,the health problems he had..and how he got trough…his personality and how he made himself in to the troop are amazing and that’s why he’s one of my favorite monkey …I would love to hear about him again …🫶🤗🐵
I've been waiting all season for Rox's story, because it is SO remarkable! I never saw him cling onto any adult monkey until Jethro- what a sight to behold! You all do such incredible work, and Dave- I never get tired of your narratives. You really do put National Geographic to shame lol! You all at the Foundation are amazing, dedicated, kind, and unrelenting in your love and caring for the vervets. Thank you for including us in your journey. What a treat this was!
Do you know how old rox is?
@@waitaminute2015 Excellent question! I’m curious also. I think Dave mentioned his age at some point, so I’ll have to watch it again. Plus, if I heard correctly, he was kept in sick-bay(?) for 4 months because of his surgeries and recoveries. Considering they’re only babies for 6 months and… let’s see: maths math-math maaaths… 🤔 🙊 ?
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING & SAVING. THESE. LITTLE. MONKEYS. ❤️❤️❤️ WISH. THERE WAS PLACE LIKE THIS IN OTHER. AREAS. WHERE. THEY. HAVE. MONKEYS. AT. , YOU. TRULY. DO MAKE SUCH A BIG. DIFFRENCE ❤️❤️
Lol!! “Orphan from hell”! What a rambunctious little one! 🥰😂
I’m in love with his confidence after all he’s been through!
I love his confidence too. I never seen a Vervet monkey act like him and the friendship he has with an adult male, extraordinary.
🤓🏴☠️🇸🇪
Thank you again for not putting music over these. I've really enjoyed these little life stories.
Incredible how you turned things around.
I am glad he has made many friends
Thank you for sharing with us the stories of the monkies growing and merging into a troop.
The love the babies give to each other and the love they give to human foster mommy. The foster dads give the babies alot of love also.
I like this video about Rox , that is why I am watching it again. Thanks for all your wonderful care of all the monkeys!
Thanks again!
Fantastic story of recovery!
Dave, thank you for another incredible recap this time on precious little Rox. Yes, poor guy had an extremely rough beginning. Many thanks to you, all the staff @ The Vervet Monkey Foundation and your incredible vet, Rox definitely has a new lease on life. It was great seeing him regain his agility and so confidently entering his new troop and enjoying it so much. God Bless all of you!! 🐒💙
Great great story! Love that Jethro such a good parent. Amazing the work you do
God bless his brave, strong heart! What an amazing darling he is! Thank you for sharing this important story about survival and winning after such devastating challenges.
Rox is my spirit animal and the reason I donate to VMF!!!!!
Gotta love little Rox and appreciated his will to not let anything stop him.
I’m glad he could make progress. I adopted my little monster dog and at six months I was his third Mom. At 11 he still has a need for too much exercise. Of course he is my little rascal love forever.
How cool Rox has Jethro for a buddy. What a cute pair.
I truly wish I had health and wealth to come volunteer there. I appreciate your work with these precious animals. Thank you for not making them wear nappies!
Amazing how these babies adapt. Love this video. May I suggest you put your location on your settings to the US? I've read that it will help to reach more US viewers. Not sure about the details, but worth looking into.
What a unique little Monkey that Rox. I'm surprised the mothers and males açcepted him as bad behaved as he is. You can't help but love the little guy. Should've named him Bubba. Ha ha
I know he is a total nutball! 😂 one of the first things he did to his first foster mom was hump her back as she was by the gate .... I was rolling and didn’t catch it at first. Lol but he really was a lil monster but I loved his personality and boldness and especially his friendship with Jethro!
Thank you for continuing with the videos. I really enjoy them! Thank you for taking care of them. May God bless all of you.
Love Rox & Jethro with his big heart. Also, your Patreon stories about the monkeys are awesome, thank you for all you do!
He's so cute and tough!! He's a REAL FIGHTER!!! I PRAYING FOR YOU LIL GUY!!😢🙏🐒❤
Yay Jethro and Rox.❤
Good luck to Rox in his recovery! These vervets are beautiful!
Your care and your help is so amazing - thanks for all what you have done so well for little Rox, who has now a new life!
Rox my all time favorite little monster orphan, he sure is one of a kind! I can see Rox being an alpha one day, he is bold and shows no fear yet at the same time still being accepted by his peers and for such a young monkey to show such strength and qualities so young I believe he has it in him to be a natural leader.
Rox cracked me up when he met his first surrogate mom who happened to be the alpha female, he was like a little firecracker 🧨 and when he became a lil humper to show dominance I about fell over laughing! I would have given anything to know what she was thinking... this had to have been a first for her because you could tell she was caught off guard by the little monster lol!
But ultimately they couldn’t resist his charms and cuteness!
The foster family members, it is amazing how they feel they are their babies. 🐵🐒❤
Such a sweet little one!
Rox is gutsy..confident..friendly..
I hope you can help him. I wish him all the luck in his life
Such an elegant little creature
Thank you for the video's..and thank you all for what you do to help these animals❤
Rox is so adorable. He is a daring little guy approaching all the monkeys in the troop. How can you not love him. That was incredible watching a male, Jethro, carrying a baby around. Rox and Jethro are two very special monkeys. Thank you for these videos. And thank you all for the care you give to these special babies.
Fantastic video. Thank you Dave
Jethro is probably my favorite of all time.
Rox's story is a perfect testament as to what makes the VMF, and all of the dedicated people SO GREAT! Rox is an incredible monkey to get where he is now, but it wouldn't have happened at all, without the VMF and crew! Thank you all! 💗 I'M DONATING AGAIN! RIGHT NOW! I KNOW YOU NEED IT! 💗
Rox's journey back to a troop is incredible. We had the pleasure of watching this little guy through this journey and how much adversity he had to over come and over come he did. Thanks Dave and to your team for the incredible work you all do.
Omg hearing they had to take the leg made me burst into tears. I look at this monkey the same as a maybe 2 year old kid. I wish I could have her. I wish I could just show her the best life she could ever imagine
I just gotto add how wonderful it was to see Jethro take in lil Rocks!Sweet! 💙💜❤
He is so cute 😍
Amazing monkey bio! Little Rox is truly a courageous guy - full of life. He will lead his own group one day! Thank you for all you do! 🐒
Rox rocks!
I can see during watching so many of your videos, that you have lots of cost for visting the vet with the different monkeys...I try support you with little donations from time to time!
You are so kind
Beautiful!
The VMF c/o 2020 - so many very big personalities and they all have a ton of intestinal fortitude, so much attitude & heart for days! 💜
Rox has been very fun to watch for the last several months! Is he still spending time with Jethro?
Rox is awesome and an inspiration to us all!
I just love watching Rox run around, love his energy
he reminds me of my son wow
Glad little Rox is healing well now ,poor little Rox has had a rough time,he's getting all the care now 🙂
Poor little thing
💜
I wonder if the monkeys who have had an amputation have phantom feelings of the former limbs. It may be more pronounced depending on the age they had the procedure.
But I love about their troop members is that they don't judge a member based on physical looks or challenges an individual may have. We could learn from them!
yes they do, I have seen them groom without touching the other monkey
❤️🐒❤️
He is going to be in pain once he is fully awake I’m sure that you will manage his and let him hurt. Poor baby you will feel better soon!
🐒🐒🐒🥰😘😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇🙏
I’m the beginning what language is he speaking when dropping the baby off?!?!???
When y’all find a troop for Rox to join will having three legs affect his ability to defend himself from being attacked/harassed by other monkeys?
No, he will do just fine, they amazing at getting over impediments
Por favor traduza em português
I agree 110%that Rox had a very bad start in life but since he was given a second chance he's taking full advantage of it and proving he's a lil fight and was able to get past the set back of missing a bad leg! You are a great lil Rox... show's is more of your antics! (
What happened to Kyle?
vimeo.com/ondemand/vervetforest
Oh my god. Every single time... Why are people still asking????? Every video there's at least 1 person asking where Kyle went. All you gotta do is watch some videos and read some comments.
Hi, I am Megh
I know this has been about 2yrs, when the little guy was still trying to come off the meds that were still in his system ~ why is it you people were just flipping him from one side to the other... Come on you sure wouldn't want anyone to be flipping you around after 2 leg surgery...
That just irritated me, BIG TIME!!!
I Do Know Animals Do Heal Faster Than Human But, Maybe That's Probably Why One Of His Legs Didn't Heal Right...
You will have to be more specific where in the video you assume we are flipping him from one side to the other, so I can give you an informed answer of what you assumed you saw
My olive il tasted terrible - maybe spoiled...
