Cupcake is an appropriate name for such a little cutie 🥰
Our little buddy Floki was such a tiny little guy when he got there. I sure do love these trips down memory lane 🐾, thank you for making a so-so day become a fantastic one.
The rescuer did an excellent job as first caregiver to her. She is well acclimated and ready for transitioning without too much stress. Well done.
Dave and ALL, you are just so generous and caring. The love just shines out of you!
Floki vocalizing to his visitor is so great to hear.
I love the way you hold the babies. By facing them away from you and supporting their tummy, it seems to calm them like it does human babies!
Cupcake and Floki are adorable!! Thank you Dave!!
Omg Cupcake is SO precious!!! Thought for sure she was gonna cause a sore from all that hand sucking!!! Flocki makes me wanna cry with the condition he's in right now and I hope it's all treatable!!!! These 2 are in the best place though!! 💖💜💙🙏
Poor little fella. It is amazing how they adapt to physical differences. Makes me reevaluate how i look at my limitations.
Excellent reply. I myself am disabled, but these little monkeys and their caregivers are inspirational.
I live in constant pain it’s a life of readjusting. You would be amazed how well you actually do. We do not notice. I know because my husband mentions it to me
Felicitaciones por tan noble trabajo y por su compasión amorosa
Love Floki's fearlessness & curiosity. Cupcake is adorable. And so glad Jinx is doing so well. Thank you VMF for all that you do!
Love Floki's personality. Nothing will slow him down. He is so happy to be outside and around other monkeys. Hope his surgery goes well. Cupcake is adorable. She is a very calm baby. Thanks guys for all the work you do.
Dave you do such a great job on these videos I really enjoyed this one today I forgot it was coming so a very pleasant surprise.Both babies seem to be at their best for now, I hope Floxie's surgery goes well.
Cupcake is an amazing little monkey - thanks what you have done for her!
Cupcake, Floki and Jynx are all little survivors but they certainly couldn’t have made it without their guardian angels at the VMF!!!! Truly you guys are amazing....Absolute saints who give up so much of Your personal time for very little. Thank you for all you have done for these guys! ❤️ 🐵
Dave great job! Thank you. Love the babies
I love watching you and the staff with the monkeys. The kindness you show them is beautiful to see.
This is to the takers, your work is fantastic. I hope people can hel grow this channel
Hi Cristina I couldn't agree more. I've been trying to encourage people to spread the word as well. When I see videos that have thousands more views than there are subscribers I want to yell through my screen "If you enjoy the videos then please subscribe". I don't think people understand that it helps VMF to leave comments, thumbs up, and obviously subscribe.
Cupcake is the perfect name for her! Floki isn't letting his injuries slow him down, so resilient. Thanks Dave, but please more Cupcake! Lol
Your doing God's work!! Thank you for your dedication!!
Thank you for what you do.
Cupcake is so tiny! Bless her 🙏
Monkeys are so blessedly resilient. A Femoral Head Osteotomy should fix him right up on the more severely damaged right leg. You all are so wonderful for what you do. Thank you.
I have a lot of confidence in little Floki, he has a strong will, with a great personality! Little cute Cupcake is so chill' I think she will progress through your program quite well. 😊💗💗💗💗💗....
Prayers for little Floki's surgery! It's amazing how these little animals endure so much yet push forward with such strength!
Too cute so tiny 💝💝💝
SHE'S ADORABLE👼❤
Driving down the road with the window wide open I could just picture the baby monkey flying out of the window! Please keep them safe
Floki is an inspiration to me. He doesn’t let anyone or anything slow him down. Can’t wait for his surgery. He’ll be a force to be reckoned with❣️❤️❣️
I love your channel so much what you do for these monkeys is amazing thank you very much Jody from Cape Cod Mass USA
I just love and applaud how you all take care of these monkeys, always doing your best with attention to so many details....all so they can have the best life experiences.
Y'all are amazing great job taking care of these babies and integrating them back into the wild or a troop. Awesome🐵. I love the noises they make
Floki has a cute face - he is a wonderful little monkey - I hope the operation, which he needs will go well.
Darn! Floki has stolen my heart. A strong and brave name, means a "heroic great Viking warrior" fits him. How he managed by to endure the pain from his injury and survive. I hope the surgery goes well. In history Floki was the first to sail to Iceland from Norway. He returned to Norway and wasn't very fond of the island he found but later he returned to Iceland to live there until he died.
I don't remember if you mentioned an estimated older of Floki in previous episode but I really want to know how old you think he is.
Thank you for this episode!
🤓🏴☠️🇸🇪
Thanks for sharing your information about the meaning of the name and some history of Norway and Floki. It's very interesting what you shared.
Floki is one of my favorite vikings, the perseverance in him was unbelievably astounding, and I think this name is absolutely perfect for this special wee fella! He has some uniquely cool markings. He is quite fuzzy & just really beautiful. His demeanor seems pleasant - I am rooting for Floki, as well! (shhhh- I root for all of them, but he has captivated me, as well! )
oh, I dont know if you watch the show Vikings, but I literally JUST saw the trailer for the new season where Ivar & the Rus army invade Bjorn & the Clan. I wont tell you any spoilers, I am soo pumped it is back, it has been one of the best shows about Vikings. I also love the Last Kingdom, its a period piece show about the Danes invading England in its infancy, fighting The Saxon Army. Very entertaining.
Dave, you all are soooo incredible with these precious monkeys! I know we all would love to come there to volunteer but for now we send our love and appreciation to everyone and will continue donating what we can to help support your work! I pray God's Richest Blessings on you all!! 🦍❤❤
Despite the horror of what Floki has endured, he is an amazing hero. I follow your Instagram page, so I kind of knew what had happened before watching this video, but I was still full of surprise and delight, because of your wonderful narration, Dave and others. As another reader said, Dave you do an amazing job narrating and explaining these videos to us- thank you so much for including us. You all work so relentlessly and passionately, Floki, Cupcake and the others are in the best place possible. I loved the spring in Floki's step when he arrived at Disneyland! Great things are to come for him and the others- that is the truth. God bless all of you! p.s. Noone has mentioned on TH-cam that your one and only car- for everything- broke down- or maybe I missed it. Have you been able to raise enough money to get it fixed? I hope so.
Floki is a brave bugger! Love his hops to get around! I hope he gets better after the surgery! 🥰
Hi Jinx!! I knew you’d fit in brilliantly!
Little Cupcake, wellcome at the foundation! I hope you will find friends soon. I wish you a good foster mom, full of love for you....
You are so kind
I have fallen in love with Cupcake. 💕💕
Aww sweet.little baby
Cute name for her 🙂
Great episode, thank you!
I love this video as well - that is why I am watching also this one again - thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Ahh what a bittersweet moment I’ve been waiting for baby season #4 to start but it’s also sad that it means another orphaned baby monkey 🐵❤️
Thanks for all you do.
Cupcake: But I just wanted to look out the window!
Oh hi Jinx!!! So grown up know!!!
you are doing sutch a fantastic job ...a really do admire you ..greeatings from Sweden
...the enclosure cleaning service person needs a raise! He works very efficiently on camera! M->
Floki is a star, a spunky little soul.
Cupcake is well-named and adorable! Floki, the poor brave darling! I have to wonder how the healed cranial fracture happened - not a good thing by far! Is it really helpful to move Floki to a larger space and encourage more walking, more exercise on the dislocated limbs? I would have thought quiet and less movement would have been more helpful. Did the vet advise exercise? Bless you all for all you put into God's creatures who need you so.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I would so love to be doing this....
Shes beautiful
Floki is a star, look at how he deals with his debilities, God bless him
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍
❤️🐒❤️🐒❤️
When I first saw Floki walking, before we ever got to the point where he had x-rays and a vet exam, it immediately mode me think of subluxations of the hip sockets seen in babies where the dislocated hips are not diagnosed at birth and splinted or cast - something rarely seen now except in areas of the world where there is just no medical care of infants. But if you happen to see a toddler with a problem due to this tying to learn to walk, its very similar. Of course this can happen in any mammal but in most that walk all the time on 4 feet its may not developed into a problem until they are older and having tp bare adult weight. He definitely walks/hops because of problems with both hips, not one, even if one is worse than the other.
No one seemed to know how prevalent this could be in primates and some suggested that it might happen more then we are ever aware as the baby in the wild probably would die due to its mobility issues long before it would be at risk for ending up in a rehab or sanctuary with the issue. The fact that one side is definitely. or was definitely. dislocated but there is also issue with the other hip, seem like that would be more of a birth problem then someone just jerking him and dislocating a hip would be an odd injury to sustain at that age. I know the vet thinks trauma, perhaps as that is what it would look like without thinking that it was due to an odd fetal positioning or a birth deformity and assuming taht it was connected to the head injury, which while it could have eventually lead to the head injury might not have happened at teh same time.
Is it possible, with such a mobility issue as would be caused by hip subluxation or dislocation at birth, that the baby was unable to properly grip to mom or a limb, or balance as needed may have had a falling injury early on when it reached an age that one would expect it to be moving away from mom a bit and took a fall from a height causing a skull fracture? Of course its is hard to tell from a video of an x-ray but the hips tend to look like they could be a birth deformity or birth injury while the skull fracture, while old, does not seem that old. It also begs the question, if it is a birth deformity, if surgery, as in a femoral head removal, is the firs thing to attempt. If it is due to dislocation from a birth deformity and there other hip joint is also abnormal, its almost guaranteeing that the same with have to be done on the other side. Of course how much growth he may still have to go in which there maybe a chance to remedy the deformity or being prepared to remove the other femoral hip as soon as the worse side is healed and formed a pseudo hip.
And do not forget that more than a head injury can be the cause of some cognitive delay, in humans, great apes and primates, early mobility issue and impairments can cause delays as the baby cannot do things others would do at certain ages, even such as climbing, crawling, walking, exploring etc, and that in turn slow all areas of normal development. Because the baby could not move properly from birth and had to develop other ways to achieve those things, from getting off the belly, to taking a step, to pushing up on the back limbs to grip and pull up with the front, first to be able to reach the teats to later and eventually climb, which would further be impeded by the hips, meaning the baby had to learn and invent their own development to manage to do those things. That would mean that their entire course of development is nothing like other babies, even if they are, for them, really on course. Also, from either a head injury or things that can go along with birth defects like hip abnormalities, you may have a visually impaired child and that also will impact development in a great many ways. It might be worth having the vision assessed in some way(even Face time with one of the animal vision experts in the states) as depending simply on pupil size and its reactions to light, the light8ng the baby has at least while developing until an adult age could mean a lot of usual vision can be developed
Thank you, the orphan was hit by a car and suffered head trauma making it vunerable and easy to catch, it was picked up by people who had the wrong inntentiones, who tied a rope around its legs, with the jumping trying to get free it caused the leg trauma
I love the work you do, but hate that it has to be done. ❤️
My credit card was compromised, and waiting on the new one so I can sign up again for membership. For anyone thinking of it, you get bonus videos that are definitely worth it.
Ooo
I sure would like to volunteer sometime. I cannot believe how tiny they are or Dave just has big hands lol
I so much like to do more then what I'm donating through Patreon but more will come 😁😁
It still trips me out driving on the left side of road.
Cupcake is an adorable little girl vervet and it's too bad about the death of her mother. It must be traumatic for her to lose her mother but hopefully she can gain a great foster mom and be okay. She is only three weeks you said Dave and that's so young so maybe she'll have an easy transition to a new mother. Floki is doing very well for having such terrible injuries (head and pelvic) and let's hope that the surgery goes well. He is so cute getting around and I love how he is constantly stepping in his milk bowl. Everyone at VMF are so caring and helpful with the monkeys. Thanks for that everybody!!!
I love cupcake...I don’t watch the vids in order.
Oh my goodness...youre driving all crazy...on the wrong side of the road and the car!!🤣
Mais pourquoi y a t-il autant de petits orphelins ?
Floki definitely has an odd walking patterns with front legs....he tends to drag his left front paw.....will need to watch for any sores....also his tail looks odd....is it broken near the tip?? Hope the nerves get better post surgery.....PT/HYDROTHERAPY or possible usage of a TENS unit may help.....if y'all dont have one let me know & i will send you one.....let me know dave...i have a feeling its gonna be a bad season...
Where did Mark come from? I don't remember seeing him prior to last season, but he seems like he's been there a for a while.
Did I miss why Kyle is no longer with foundation?
Why does everyone take their shoes off before going into the enclosures?
just so we dont bring any nasties from outside
Do they not cling on mama in the wild mostly 24/7?
Dave said in the beginning that cupcake was a girl but u guys all keep saying HE, so is this baby a Girl or a Boy???
Girl, I have a tendency to use the male tense when speaking about monkeys - but she is a girl
@@VervetMonkey cool, thanks for replying.
What airport do I fly into to come and help at the foundation,
OR Tambo and then you need a shuttle visit vervet.za.org/volunteering/ for all necessary information
I’m
Was that a seizure she had starting at about 6:29?
I saw that too! I hope she’s ok.
I watched again tonight and perhaps she was scratching.
