- This is the final episode of Season 1 of The Vervet Forest: Orphan Rescue. On this episode - A Caracal (big wild cat) gets stuck in the Goliath troop enclosure and we have to tranquilize it to release it back into the wild. We receive a new orphan baby vervet monkey named Meghan. She joins Dumbo and Meghan and Dumbo get to join Sickbay troop and there are quite a few moments of tension. I give you an update on Janet and Lou in Skrow troop and Mr. Miyagi joins Engeltjie troop in the main enclosure and a mom bites a baby monkey.

*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*
I loved the series. I'm an old career pediatric nurse working night shift in the NICU. My friends at work call me monkey momma. I watch Arroz Marisco and the Vervet Forest because I love seeing these lovely creatures healthy and free. Thank you Kyle and all your colleagues for all you do. I have four grandchildren and I want them to live in a world where there are still free primates. It's hard work, and you all are so patient and kind, well done. Fan forever, Nurse Carolyn ;)
Ha! Monkey Momma! Fantastic name 😀Thank you so much for watching the series and for your kind words. 💚
I also watch Arroz Marisco and the Vervet Forest. These are the only two I watch. I'm retired so I can watch it as long as I want...yay! Thank you for all you do. My niece is also a nurse.
It's remarkable how well you understand and narrate what's going on for us. Thankyou. I pray your always there for these little guys
I can not count the amount of times I have watched this, one of my favourite episodes.
That cat is so beautiful.
crayzeebee caracals are absolutely gorgeous, aren’t they?
I would have to say, vervets have become one of my favorite breed of monkeys. My heart goes out to the cat though, my heart dropped when she fell out of the tree! I was happy she didn't eat any of the monkeys either. I was happy to see Groot to He has gotten so big! I love this series! I am also very impressed with the viewers comments, they have mad respect for you Kyle a.k.a (skillz) you all are very special people and the monkeys couldn't be happier!
Crystal and Robert Dominguez I agree with every single one of those statements 😊💚
That Caracal was a hoot up in that tree with his sleepy eyes. He wanted so bad to sleep, but couldn't. Dumbo is such a character. Epic work all.
Xena 😁💚
Oh my goodness, Catticus Finch sure created some drama LOL...Always something to upset the apple cart LOL...Wow, Groot is getting so big !! Good to see Janet (Dammit LOL) Hey, there's Stick (in the mud LOL)...Awww Dumbo got shocked, poor baby... *GREAT* *EPISODE* *&* *VERY* *EXCITING* *!* *!* - Thanx so much for filming the wonderful episodes & for sharing them with us !! I am so happy that I found this channel !! 😊👍Looking forward to the Bandits & their antics LOL 💞Vivi💞
That cat is BEAUTIFUL! As are all animals.
I'm happy that you all put them back in if they're not ready ❤❤❤
Season 1 nailed it 😍😍😍😍
Yasmin Jade 💚💚
Maybe it’s just my devious human brain at work but when the caracal was getting carted out past the Camelot troop, their first alarm calls sounded like they were laughing at the cat. Kind of like a “Ha-ha-ha-ha......now get out of here you silly cat” type of laugh. Lol.
Tahisha Tolbert 😂😂😂
The Caracal cat was so beautiful but didn't need to be in the monkey area. Happy he was just put to sleep to be able to move him to his own area.. Glad you're all resective of the other wild life.
that caracal was like " dude, i jsut got screamed at by monkies for tow days im not leaving this tree, not even if you shoot me in the butt" i love caracals, such cute kitties
Milk Bone hahaha yeah. He was having none of it.
I have a little boy in my class named Kofi and thankfully he isn’t a “real jerk” to the other children. He is a sweetheart.
Aida Negron hahahahaha. I’m glad to hear that too! 😁✌️
Dumbo had one helluva day! Ya know those days that you just finally give up and realize it isn't going to get any better no matter what you do so you go to bed right after dinner? LOL He will be fine, learning his way and on this day how NOT to act!
Poor Kitty!
Trip Cunningham Probably not the best day he’s ever had.
I am so great full what you guys care Sprinkle with love from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
An exciting end, to an epic season! I cannot begin to express what watching these videos, and learning about Vervet Monkeys, and the VMF, have done for me personally. Thank you doesn't come close to expressing my gratitude. To Dave and Josie, thank you for committing your lives to rescuing and rehabilitating each and every one of these precious animals. To the staff and volunteers, without your commitment and work, a foundation like this could not survive, let alone thrive, as it has, so thank you! To Kyle, your creativity, and knowledge in the film making industry, is what allows me to continue enjoying the everyday lives of these most amazing creatures, from over 12000 kms away. Your artistic ability, combined with your commitment to wildlife, and nature as a whole, is commendable. Lastly, to the Vervets, I love each and every one of you, am blessed to have been able to get to know you, and can't wait to see what is next for all of you.
I plan to continue making efforts, to share the VMF'S story, and assisting in fundraising efforts, together, we can fulfill the dream of acquiring more property, for this foundation to grow! Cheers all, and Happy Travels!
Quiet Inspiration 💚💚💚☺️
Y'all are so chill about everything! Dare I say even Zen? I know it can't be easy; especially when watching a little one learning a difficult, albeit necessary, lesson or simply experiencing anything stressful. I have to say, living in a country where people carry dogs in purses, intentionally breed cats with deformities "cuz they're just *so* darn cute," & where helicopter parenting has become the accepted norm, how you all deal with these situations is refreshing!
Seeker KC 😊💚 Thank you very much. That means a lot. ✌️
Why does that little clip of Groot munching on his food give me such a feeling of contentment? 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I hope Catticus found water nearby. I just love you guys for being so caring to the animals❤❤❤
Thank you for the season and your care😊❤👍⚘ I'm looking foward to the next episode with new topics😆
Job very well done, Vervet Monkey Foundation... employees and volunteers. Great filming and editing.👍
Thank you again. See you next week!
🍃🌹🍃
CD 1 Thank you very much! Groot munching does the same for me. We gave catticus a bunch of water as he was waiting in the cage and it’s highly likely that he lives nearby so I’m sure he was sorted. 😊💚
The vervets in the forest, are they all grown babies you rescued? That caracal is pretty cool. But luckily has the troupe to keep eye on it.
As always, a really wonderful episode. This whole series was golden, I love how closely we got to know each little baby by following their evolution. You guys work so bloody hard, you are all incredible. I wish I was in a position to volunteer! Maybe some day :) I can't wait to watch your other shows!
Myriam's Illustrations Thank you very much! I hope you get to volunteer one day too! 😊
19:45 got to love monkey sneezes!
Beautiful video as always! Little Dumbo had my heart racing! Thanks for all y'all do!!
diane Bishop Ogden 💚✌️
What a magnificent cat! 😍💖
Lots of lessons learned that day
Catticus Finch must have thought he was having a bad dream for sure. Hope he learned his lesson and doesn't try to return.. Never a dull moment. Thank you as always for these very rewarding series. Looking forward to Thursday's Bandits.
lbird 😊✌️💚
Fun first season! I guess i came on board at the midway point.
BTW the vet also put hydrating ointment in the caracal's eyes before the reversal shot. That was to prevent his eyes drying out while under the anaesthesia.
Looking forward to next week with the bandits.
Kim Bloomfield 😊
I wish i lived where monkeys were they are so smart and the babies are just precious
I started watching these videos after it all started but I did find all previous clips and enjoyed them all. Happy season!!
Rita Brunetti Awesome! Thanks for watching 😊
Always so wonderful to spend time with you and your monkeys. LOL I guess that was a true 'event' having that cat accidentally get stuck in the enclosure. Love what you guys do for this unwanted animals; what a blessing you are to them.
Robin S Lol quite the ‘event’ 😊💚 Thanks!
Great job, Kyle. Loved this season so much. Didn't even know I liked Vervets until you came along. Fantastic job to everyone there. Sad to say goodbye to all the babies, but so happy they were saved and integrated into new groups.
dispeaking1 Thank you! Glad to hear you’ve found a new monkey to love 😊
You guys are awesome!! Thank you for all you do!!
Elena Silveira 😊✌️
I loved the season cannot wait for more😃😃😃
Luckily the Caracal didn't fracture anything on the long way down. I love your videos Kyle. You all do an amazing job. I've been thinking about volunteering with you after my daughter gets married in July. One of my dreams is to be a part of something like this. I always wonder how you know who's who..lol
Poor cat looked totally disgusted with itself. ...
Catticus Fallicus. Oh and I love that vet.
As always Kyle, well done. If more people would watch this reality TV instead of the housewives of whoever they might get a real good education! LOL. I can’t believe the season is over already but I am so grateful for you and everyone there that I get to live vicariously through you and see how these little guys are doing.
Sam Burd Thank you very much 😊 I feel the exact same way 😁
Sam Burd I love watching there video’s and wish I could do more to keep the on and making more videos. I would rather watch this than tv. I hate trash tv!!
In one word : " WILD EPISODE "
wild guest / wild baby / ..... ( LOL )
Thank you sooooo much for this beautiful / entertainment / and long episode , as always you're number one
حمید م 💚 thank you as always
Chicken looks like a baby her self it was good to see groot again poor kitty .. I do hope he never gets caught again
Can't wait to watch!! As always great episode. You all are very kind & talented people. With you in spirit!!!
Melissa Santoro 💚✌️

Deanna Conover Thanks Deanna! I can’t wait for you to watch them 😊
Yay got see groot he get so big i love all the baby so cute
Thanks for taking me on this journey. Looking forward to more!
I really enjoyed season 1. You are doing a great service. Look forward to seeing you again next season!
Celia Jean 💚✌️
Awesome thank you 🙏
loving this vids. thanks a lot and thumbs up!
Thank you so much. Tell all the volunteers thanks for all they do. I definitely missed my calling.
Sherita Braswell-JenNINGS, I was just thinking that I wish opportunities like this were around when I was younger.
Will do! It’s never too late to volunteer 😉😊
Haha no sleep for the wild kitty! Little monkeys yelling at him to leave. Maybe he was to scared of so many aware of him yelling at him to make an escape!
Great episode, thanks for the updates.
Very interesting episode! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
I'm so sad to see the season end but, I'm sooo excited for The Bandit Diaries!! You've done such an outstanding job of chronicling the evolution of these babies, it truly is wonderful to see! Thank you Kyle, and thank you to all of the volunteers who put the work in, day in and day out. Your efforts are appreciated. Stay safe and God bless! ❤🤗👍👏
Traci Roberts 💚 Thanks Traci!
Lovely monkey called Titan
Thank you for sharing there stories
Already looking forward to season 2 Thank you for sharing what you do.
Kich 6 ✌️👍😊
SO awaiting more videos and updates!!! You guys are PHENOMENAL!!!
Are there a maximum amount of volunteers you can have ? Or is it the more the merrier? I cannot believe how fast the time has passed..season already gone..😓..love what all of you do..thank you for caring ❤️❤️🙏🙏much love..
Dokmai yes there is a maximum, purely based on number of accommodations available. But it’s rare we hit that maximum, generally it’s the more the merrier.
I love how their masks get darker with age.just like Siamese kitties 😻
I can just hear it now --- some snake finds it's way into the enclosure and the monkeys talk to the snake, "Shoot -- you think your bite is bad, well you don't know the worst bite of all -- the 'lectric fence bite -- go ahead and climb it". Poor babies who have to experience that. I hope all is well there in vervet land.
coriolyn we actually had two snakes fighting on top of one of the intro enclosures once. It’s crazy the things those snakes get into. Next thing you know the monkeys will be fastening them into ropes to swing over the fences! Lol
I thoroughly enjoyed this season! ! Great job kyle! Hope to see more. I'm sure it'll be awesome, whatever you choose to do!
Thank you so much for an informational and entertaining season! I can hardly wait until next Thursday for your Bandit series to begin! Once again, Thank You for everything you bring to us!
rebecca perez 💚😊✌️
Oh my gosh, Groot with the dark little face, no more pink baby face 😍😍😍😍😍. Such a big handsome boy now, my heart can’t take his cuteness.
Question for you, when the monkeys bite the babies is it more of a warning bite, like “look here kid” or do they/have they/will they seriously bite down and hurt the babies?
Thank you for creating such an amazing series, thank you for all the amazing work you all do and I especially thank you for inspiring me to come volunteer with these amazing animals. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️🙏🏻🐒❤️🤓✌🏻
Jessica del Pielago Wait till you see how dark Groot has gotten now! Lol it’s unbelievable!
All those bites you saw were warning bites. It’s very very very rare that a mom actually does real damage to a baby intentionally. I’ve only seen it happen once in several years and that was also a very unusual circumstance. But this is why we are careful about who is let into the intro enclosures.
💚😊✌️
Thank you! ❤🐒❤
The video was great.
I love your narrative. It helps us to understand what’s going on. Thank you!
Wow you guys truly have your hands full. God Bless You All. When I seen the first video of you guys and these primates, I went straight to your page and literally started from the very first episode to episode 32 I believe was the highest you had at the time and watched every one of them until 5 in the morning I was addicted from the first video. Great job all of you. Just wish there were more videos put out in the week, but know just how much work you already have I understand that it's only possible for 1 a week. Look forward to seeing your next video.
Gatorrollu I did the same thing when I started watching!! I think I made it to 25 or 26. I still go back occasionally to episode 1 and binge watch! Love this foundation and the vervets!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Mimi 2-3 me too.
Awe thank you so much! I wish I could put out more episodes a week. It’s just exhausting, it’s literally me (Kyle) filming editing and narrating and coloring and doing sound work and all that stuff all by myself, id love to be able to put more stuff out constantly but I’d need more help, otherwise I end up going a little insane working endlessly with no breaks lol.
Gatorrollu lol, I do wear them from time to time. We’ve got an excellent chef named Will, but he’s leaving in December, now we’re looking for a new full time vegan chef to start then.
Great season. Look forward to the next. Good job folks.
Lovely monkey called Titan
That was heart stopping to watch poor Atticus fall out of that tree!!! Poor baby, he looked so frightened when he was coming out of the anesthesia... thank you for taking care of Atticus in a humane manner, your organization seems to care about ALL animals...
Thank you so much for a marvelous season 1 of Orphan Rescue. Each of you at VMF are so appreciated. Thanks for making a difference in these animals lives.
Can’t wait next week new video. Take care and much love from Colorado!
Pamela Hollier Thanks Pamela! 💚
THAT WAS AN AWESOME season you guys.... Great work by all of you. I've actually gotten a group that loves these videos and so, every time a new one comes out, we all sit around together watching, laughing and having a good time. Please keep em coming. Thanks Kyle. A+
Leo Perry Amazing! That’s so cool to hear, thanks Leo!
Its so heartbreaking to hear the babies scream when bitten by the older monkeys, but as ysyal, their resilllience is strong. Great episode thanks. So much going on in their wee complex lives. Bet the caracal was glad to get a proper sleep 😻
Poor mr miagie maybe too soon huh...how was his neck? Does he need stitches? How painful for him poor lil dude.love you guys love all the work you do what can we send you please make a video of what goes into a days work for each of you from the begginning middle and end of one day for each of you would be so awesome, you work so so hard. Please make more videos before next season please what will i watch i watch these faithfully i love those little monkeys and the staff and your sweet face every video that big beautiful sunshiney smile is so comforting and every video is so cool to watch even listening to the background comments you all have such sweet lovely kind souls. If we lived closer we would be there daily. How can we help from the states? Make a video of things we can get and send to your address. Please.
He was just fine. Not too soon at all. He was just being a dick to the higher ranking female and she put him in his place. I know its intense to see but thats the life of a wild animal, they have very aggressive ways to assert authority... but so do we humans. No stitches needed, its very rare that a monkey needs stitches. They heal incredibly fast, just wait till you see the story about little Tylee.
Plenty more videos will be coming. You can always donate using Paypal.me/vervet monthly donations help tremendously! Also if you are interested in sending us items please email info@vervet.co.za and let Josie/Megan know that you would like to donate items, they can send you a list and help make arrangements.
Thanks for watching and loving the show! 😀
❤️
That cat is way more beautiful than any of those tree rats.
I can’t believe Caticus fell from the tree! Maybe if there’s a next time you can stand under with blankets? I love your show always! ❤️
KittyMom 419 we did have blankets down there 😉✌️ Thanks!
KittyMom 419 Bless your little heart 🤣
Wow, that is a GORGEOUS cat!!! Poor baby, he looks so tired!!! I bet he was totally sick of being screamed and squawked at... any updates about this beautiful cat?
No, no updates, we released him back into the wild.
That cat is beautiful.
Such a distance to drop full weight i would imagine such an impact without the normal perching between lengthy drops would cause blunt force trauma for vital organs and possibly bone fracturing spinal injuries and brain traumatic injury...is that why he was in a cage for vet to assess for injuries? Im always curious about such long falls even well equipped for such undertakings still in all unable to decrease impact by landing and grabbing along the way which is a conscious effort to decrease impact.
Tamara Kennedy it sounded like his fall was broken by smaller branches and bushes
Tamara Kennedy, the fall wasn’t too bad and Brian is right, the fall was broken by plenty of small branches and bushes and he fell into the blankets that we had padded up at the bottom of the tree. He was perfectly fine. You gotta remeber, he’s a cat and can jump incredible heights, so a fall like that can and does happen in the wild. There was no injury to asses the cat was perfectly fine. We had to keep him in the cage so that the drugs could wear off completely before we released him, otherwise if we released him while he was still woozy it could have cause more serious problems.
I love that caracal...
What a beautiful cat that was you had to dart, are they common around the monkey pounds????
I'm in Love with Dave's dog Timmy! He is just beautiful. Tell us a little bit about Dave? What does he do? #ILoveVervetMonkeyFoundation
Lori Launius Dave makes the whole VMF world go round. If it were not for Dave this place would not exist. I’ll be doing a special on Dave and he’ll be explaining his whole story for you all 😁
Oh Goody! Loved hearing him speak.
Kyle, Dave, volunteers, staff and I’m sure I’ve missed more than one. Thank you for your delightful part of the great videos of the Vervets. You have entertained me with the cute little babies and the things they get into. WOW! you have your hands full!.
One thing that confuses me. Why did you allow the last batch go out without a surrogate??? I wouldn’t want to think , somebody was getting tired of the situation and just started letting them go. Not so?
Hopefully they will fine somebody to show them the rope on the outside.
Kyle you do such a great job informing me. ( even though I heard a very big sigh tonight.
It must very frustrating and hectic, boy, God bless you all for the wonderful work you are doing for humanity.
linda hobbs Awe, thank you Linda. Some babies (especially the older ones and ex-pets) don’t ever bond with a mother. It’s late in the season, the mothers are no longer interested, the babies are older and not as keen on latching onto a mother and so it becomes unrealistic to wait for that situation. What we aim for instead is the baby to form a good bond with others in the troop so that when they go out there they have a family and friends to join. Because in the end this is most important. As the babies grow they eventually move away from their moms and become independent, so it’s okay that they go out on their own. Sometimes it’s just a little scarier because they have to learn troop life the hard way rather than having the protection of a mother. But either way it always works out!
Vervet Monkey Foundation ..... Oh! I think I understand now.
Thank you for your quick response. Very nice of you.
I do so enjoy watching the babies in their recovery of their loss, and learning the lessons of life. So inspirational!
Thank you so much for all the great videos. It has been a lot of fun to observe
how these little guys interact with each other.
So are the females of the troop not interested in adopting the older Vervets?
I thought Meghan looked like a young baby and she would have a chance
for a female adult to adopt her.
Since the young babies can not nurse from their adopted moms I would like to have seen
how they discover the baby feeding enclosures. How many of them do you have out there for them.
It would be nice to have a video showing the interaction of the Humans there at the
Vervet foundation. Obviously you are the Alpha male in your group.
Who is the Alpha female? hehe.
Thank you again for all the fun.
I am handicapped and I live most of my life in my recliner
watching videos like yours. It is such a joy for me to see
the young babies scamper around in the trees looking
so full of wonder and a little anxiousness when they are released
to the Goliath enclosure for the first time.
I look forward to your next series.
P.S.
Sorry about the remark I made when you made the video wearing the Tie-Dyed shirt.
Bill23799 Thanks! Lol never saw the comment on the tie died shirt so no worries.
Yeah it’s harder for the older babies, they’ve already got such strongly developed personalities the moms often just aren’t interested cause they aren’t very interested in having a mom and being the clingy babies that the moms desire.
Each troop has 3 or 4 feeding cages for the babies. The babies generally discover them at all different times, depending on how willing the moms are to let them go away and venture into a cage.
I’ll definitely be putting out some more videos of the humans and the work that is done here. I’d say Dave (the founder and head honcho) is definitely the alpha male in the eyes of the monkeys, especially when he’s walking round with Timmy and his new pup George.
But yes Torie is definitely the alpha female lol.
Awwww, Chicken!! Best name. 🐒💓
Beautiful animal that caracal 💖
What a way to wrap up the season! That Caracal is one beautiful wild cat...and yes, I can imagine he/she (?) was pretty much the very _opposite_ of happy at waking up in that cage. Fortunately, it did so in a place full of amazing human beings, so that adventure ended in the best possible way ❤️
I can imagine that Dumbo is going to have a bit of a rough going for a bit... Out of curiosity, is the - for lack of a better word - "harassing" behavior of the juveniles something that happens along gendered lines? Meaning do the juvenile males pick on the even younger males, as they jockey for position within the pack? And, likewise, the females? Or is it pretty much just juveniles being indiscriminately assertive with whatever unguarded smaller monkey they come across, regardless of gender?
Also, being a total LOTR nerd, I got a kick out of hearing that you all named one of the vervets "Legolas"...
Zentierra we also have a Boromir and a Gandalf and a Shmiegle (sp?)
Dumbo is doing just fine. Eh, they’re pretty non descriminant. It’s more just rough housing and asserting dominance slowly finding their place in the troop. But Kofi it seems is and always has been a particularly pester happy little dude. Even as a baby they say he would drive the other monkeys crazy. It really comes down to the individual personalities.
Ah...so it was mostly a "Kofi" thing with Dumbo in the vid.
Yay! You have a Gandalf, as well as a Boromir and a Sméagol ( _nerd-provided name correction, since you wondered about the spelling_ 😊 )
Can't wait to see the next episode of the Bandit Diaries.
Take care, y'all.
Zentierra 😁😁
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg Groot grew so big!
OMG HOW DID I NOT GET MY NOTIFICATION UUGGHHH LOL ANYWHO THANK YOU FOR THE NEW UPLOAD!!♡♡
lol, shame on you TH-cam! Glad you caught it though! I hope you enjoyed this one 😊
I stayed up til 130 watching these vidios. I had to wake up to let my cat out..and just relized..I watched another 45..minutes already..Its 5..in morning..Im addicted. Lol...🐒🐵❤
Gosh, I love your videos!! Thank you - they are so entertaining. I am wondering Kyle, where are you from and how did you end up working there with the monkeys? Just wondering.
Mickey McMillen Glad you asked 😊 check out this Q&A video I made... th-cam.com/video/xk-61UlqiJs/w-d-xo.html at 8:06 I answer that exact question. If you look in the description under that video there are a ton of timecode links to all the questions in the video.
Did Caticus have water around somewhere after being all stressed ?
Aww did the kitty get hurt at all falling from the tree? That was sad to watch.
Yay, it's now a new month and I can send my August $20, I hope it helps out. Big vervet hugs to all of you!!!
Chickens Don't Surf 💚💚💚💚✌️😊
Thank you for such an uplifting and wonderful series!!
What would you do if someone gave you a very much larger species of orphaned primate, say , a chimp or gorilla baby? Does Africa have its own version of the Sasquatch?
FilmerOfBobcats
Poor Dumbo 🙁
Kofi was like that even as a baby, always pestering the other babies, biting their ears etc 😜 I have a great photo of 3 babies consoling a very sad Rahni, though Kofi’s tactic was to suck on her ear while the others cuddled her
T Pickersgill awe lol. I can totally imagine that. Kofi just never lets up, dude has endless energy to pester. You gotta send me those photos! I hope Logan is in there somewhere, that little dude is too ridiculous.
I didn't see Merlin...Hope he's okay
Nisha B ah yeah! He and everyone else are doing great. Watch out for the update episode on all the babies coming soon.
Bye, babies! I'll miss hearing about them but I'm glad you're continuing the show! I've seen the babies bite each other but never the human handlers. I'm sure there's more than shown but I was surprised that escaped baby didn't try and bite Torie when she grabbed it. Is that typical? Are the babies not really aggressive toward humans?
The babies bite us all the time! Kyle is just good at editing to make my arms look bite free 😉 Not sure how I managed to grab Meghan bite free, just a lucky day I guess!
It should be noted though that it’s very rarely aggressive bites and usually play or communicative - a way to say hey please don’t do that or I don’t like this. It generall doesn’t hurt too much unless they manage to get the skin between your fingers!
Yeah Kyle, how did you replay the caracal (Catticus Finch ha!) escape from three different angles? Super legit!
Ouch lol! That sounds like the worst place to be bitten. Thanks for being honest about their behavior, I'm just curious about how they interact with humans versus how they interact with each other.
You are a champion baby catcher. It was very clever of you to hide under that awning
and snatch Meghan at just the right moment.
In a comment I made generally I asked Kyle to make a video showing
how the human creatures interact with each other there. I assume Kyle is the Alpha male.
Now i am thinking you must be the Alpha female haha.
The Caracal is beautiful they are amazing animals but of course, any cat that can jump over 9 ft and catch a bird mid-air has reason to be considered amazing very understandable that the monkeys would be alarmed, I am curious if in the offseason if you take in young injured juveniles also are there ever any that are unreleasable
sharon grissom I agree, Caracals are incredible animals!
Yup we take in injured monkeys constantly. Actually just had a very successful release yesterday back to a wild troop of a monkey who had been hit by a car. I’ll be putting out some episodes documenting that work in the coming weeks 😊
And yes we also have some that are unreleasable, but generally those are ex pets. It’s very rare that an injured monkey doesn’t get released (especially if we know where the troop is). It’s in all our benefits to get that monkey back out to its family in the wild.
