The Vervet Forest is a wildlife rehab series focused on Vervet Monkeys at the Vervet Monkey Foundation. The series showcases the process of taking orphaned and injured vervet monkeys through a foster mother program which helps these rescued orphan baby monkeys to be adopted by foster mother monkeys. The show is for fans of the animal planet, nat geo, discovery and anyone who is an animal lover, loves animals and would like to be part of helping them get back to the wild.

Your volunteers are so amazing! Thank you ❣️
It amazes me how fast the babies integrate with their foster mommies. It blows my mind!!
Yay, Tony has a new mom ❤
To okusování uší je normální chování, nebo je to projev stresu? Proč to opičky dělají a nemohou jedna druhou zranit? Proč to chování pěstouni tolerují?
I love the little conversational noises they make and the mischief all the babies get up to. Thank you for all that you do!
Same here. It’s no wonder we share many traits with these lil cousins of ours like yellin “snake,” or “beware of dog,” or “creep w/a weapon.” They have the same warnings. I’ll send ya a cute conversation b/w Toni & Pascal.
watch S 4, E 9 @ 12:42. Pascal & Toni are are using their lil noises. It’s adorable. Toni is cryin while tryin to eat a big piece of fruit & Pascal seems to be tryin to calm him with lil coos. You must watch it!😎
@@Darrenbrown68 Aw, they're precious!
@@luckycavy1397 not this one but season 4 episode 9 or 10 @ 12:42 called, “Baby orphan monkey Toni needs extra love & care, baby monkey Pascal’s mum stoned & eaten”
UgLy little goblins!
I loved hearing the reason & reward for doing all the hard work required to get these orphans foster moms and new troops. Not for glory or recognition but for the well being of the monkeys and allowing them to recover from tragedy and live good lives.
If there in Florida how do u get foster homes
@@mikekeeler6362 Vervet Monkey Foundation is in South Africa not Florida.
@@mikekeeler6362 Put it on your bucket list-go volunteer and see elephants crossing the street when you take some time off & go adventuring even further.
Beautifully said...and the words are so very true and deserving!
I so enjoy watching all the bonding and the fact that the little ones go back into what should have been their real lives. I hit a couple of videos where people had clothes and diapers on the baby monkeys. The people were fussing at the babies because they were not eating neatly. All that kind of stuff. Makes me sad that those babies will never find their way out into a troop with foster moms and aunties and such. That each of you for all that you do. I'm always excited to watch the new videos as they are posted.
It must be so hard to put the babies in the intro cages and hear them call and scream. We humans are hard-wired to respond to a baby's crying, too.
Such a wonderful, ongoing privilege to watch the monkeys. Especially the foster mum & babies getting to know each other. The new baby breaks your heart crying out for her mum 😢 She is safe & will soon be with a new mum.
Ioiii
Thank you guys for making this great video, and for all that you guys do, for the love of helping these monkeys! I really love watching their progression to finding their new mom, and I can see how those accomplishments would be very rewarding. 🥇 💖
That is hilarious when they freak out when they are mad or upset. So cute!
Yes , like a willful human child throwing a tantrum. Lol o
Wonderful episode! As difficult as it is to watch Toni and Ulku struggle at first, it is amazing the progress they make to bonding with their mom! Great work VMF 🐒
Is Abby the one who didn't end up keeping any of the 3 babies she got a couple of seasons ago?
I'm so impressed with everything still going strong even with the hardships the pandemic has had on y'all. Really amazing people.
i would give anything to be able to go there and volunteer. what an amazing experience that would be. sigh.... you all are so so lucky.
I agree 👍
Oh my gosh! The noises of them drinking from their bottles just melted me. 😍😍😍
Poor Marja Lisa. I hope she gets her foster mum very soon. 🤞❤
Thank you!
How many special need monkeys do you have who can't be released into the troops?
🤓🏴☠️🇸🇪
Always look forward to Thursdays to see all the babies and the progress they are making. All of you do such a wonderful job helping these monkeys. God Bless you all.
Thank you so much!
I so enjoy watching the babies and the foster mothers as they gently take them into their arms and cuddle them. It’s amazing the steps you go through when you find these wee ones and help them find foster mothers and eventually get excepted into the troop and loved and protected, I am in awe of this program! What a great program you have, very caring and heartwarming, God bless all you do for these sweet creatures of God!
Thank you for showing us what happens during the night . I often wondered what happened at night . All of you are doing an awesome job with the monkeys.Blessings to each one of you for your time & love . 🥰❤️🥰 from Canada 🇨🇦
I guess it will be pretty easy to identify Pascal once he is out in the troop: find the monkey with half an ear!
It makes sense that the babies feel comforted by sucking their hands and fingers, or each other's ears, since it is skin contact. I had never thought about that. But Toni is a piece of work! Every scene with him and other babies, he is going for an ear, getting mad when the other baby pushes him away. Then he gets a foster mom, with two teats that are there only for him, and he doesn't care! Very fussy baby!
And thank you, Dave, for giving us our weekly episode fix even though you did an Easter extra for us.
I've noticed that the babies who are like "don't touch me!" end up being the ones who are like "don't leave me!" after the Mums "break through" so to speak (i.e. Ulku, Dirkules). Maybe I'm overgeneralizing, but I also noticed this with a few other babies in prior weeks. Is it because they are younger- or perhaps more insecure and needy than the other babies (Dora, Yeliz)? Is it because they were introduced second- or is it more because of their personalities- or a combination of the two (among other reasons)? I think it's wonderful they now have someone to protect them, but I can't help but feel a little sad for the first babies who get pushed out (Yeliz, Dora). Maybe they don't care- and it's just me lol! I'm sure I am oversimplifying, but I find your work so fascinating. You do SO much for these babies (and their Mums). You are tireless and dedicated. I am so in awe of all of you! Thank you so much for sharing another chapter of your journey with this season's monkeys.
Some of them has bad habits or manners mums tend to pick better behaving babies maybe? 😀
@@gulson9105 yup maybe so! Good point! 👍🏻
And a Sweet reward it is to watch these babies go through such hell and then get a loving mommy as a prize at the end so beautiful thank you all so much for doing this wonderful work.
Aww, lil tony looked to mum, like, " am I allowed to drink that mum?", He took it as a "yes" bc after her look to him, he stepped up and starts drinking it. Sweet!!
New to this channel, just wondering why there are so many abandoned babies? What you are doing is great and to see a female take a baby she dont know and raise it is fascinating, thanks for the work you do!
These babies are not abandoned. Most of the time their mothers are hit by cars and the babies are found clinging to their mommies' dead bodies. Sometimes the babies have been kept as pets--which is illegal--or are being sold in the market--also illegal.
@@carolynmcpherson2667 that's so sad, at least they get new mommas!
Many of the moms also get electrocuted on the live wires and when people come across the babies they bring them to VMF.
@@ms.newyawkeri7559 Awful.
I luv the way they coo and l feel so proud of my 1st month membership badge. Hope to help in my little way 🧡🐵🧡
I haven't heard much about Mrs.Gold? Is she still doing Ok? I remember she was also one of your TOP monkey mommies! Im hapoy Tony is doing better. And Floki!! I'm excited to see who he will be living with and how he gets along. 😁 question: is floki having difficulty climbing?
I asked about Mrs. Gold a couple of days ago. She is such an amazing mom. She can handle three at once! I hope they are just going her a break. Flocki is such a sweetie with the babies. He would be such an ambassador to the little ones in Disneyland.
@@tontoof3 I agree!!
Amazing video as always! Thank you 🙏 for all of the hard work and dedication your team devotes to these precious animals 24/7/365 truly you
are all amazing!
I
🥰🥰🥰 I’m liking the longer videos. Thanks!
I love watching these babies and the work you all do.
This is s the best monkey videos I've ever seen the Cambodian monkeys I'm getting sick of them abusing the monkeys it makes me cry so i joined your channel ty very much my name is Jody from Cape Cod Mass USA
Toni, wish you a happy life. He was the cutest this season. Thank you all for doing that great work.
These integrations go so well and it must be easier as troops get used to receiving babies in this manner, as well as fostered babies that grow up to be foster moms would probably even be more with the program as that is how they came to be troop members. I have seen a couple of times where it did take going through introducing a baby to more than one troop to find a foster pairing they would settle in
Have you ever had a baby that absolutely refused to be fostered and would not give up being hand raised by a human, and what did you in that case, or if its never happened what you try to do if it did? Have you ever had a baby that rejected after being taken out into the troop and got into problems with how it was treated?
How do the foster troops handle the ranking of a foster baby? Is it much like a natural baby would get ranked by who its mother is? Or do that get a determination of rank once they get to be juveniles and with their foster mother less? If it is determined by who raises them, I know the tendency to want the very best for an infant you cared for for a few weeks and it would be a tendency to always pair babies with higher ranked mothers, but since every troop benefits by having all level of rankings never giving a lower or low ranking mother a baby would seem to be artificially pushing the balance of rank toward the higher ranked levels and ever troop needs some lower rankings to balance things out which I would be concerned that then some juveniles or adults would artificially lose rank do to an influx of babies all the time that were only of higher rank. And one last question: how often do you find a foster mom takes a baby out in the troop and the baby then ends up with another mother?
I am a huge fan of owls, and that was a wonderful little bit of footage of the African Wood Owl. Looked like he was not as happy to see you watching him watching others :) Great shot as he swooped away, their wing span is always impressive
I thought foster babies wouldn't suckle on their foster mom. Does it just come down to it being a way that the foster baby is comforting itself?.
You guys are SO amazing ❤️ Thank You for all your HARD work 👍
Wonderful video as always! Thank you for all of your hard work, time and love you give to the beautiful animals so they can have a second chance at life...without you guys that wouldn’t be possible and truly I know they understand that even the bandits know the good you guys do for the monkeys. That’s why the injured bandit went to guys cabin a couple episodes ago looking for help when a normal wild animal especially an injured wild animal would stay as far away as possible for a human who they see as a threat. That how amazing you guys are!!
In this particular video it's hard to follow the fostering & accepting of its mother. It is random
How do you make the decision to introduce first Tony to foster mum than Pascal?which is the reason or is it by chance?
How cute these two babies r so sweet & precious they r &what cute sounds they make🐵🐒💕💟🙏🌟🌼
Are the foster moms actually lactating, or are the babies just getting a pacifier from them?☺️
I asked the same thing? Hope we get a response soon. :)
I believe all the females are fixed and cannot have babies are lactate. That's why they adopt babies so easily because they don't have their own. That is also why these babies need to learn how to drink out of the feeding cages before they can be adopted because they put the cages out in the troops so they can go drink when they need to. So i would guess if they are sucking at the mother's it's just a pacifier.
Thank you so much for all you guys do.
I am so happy to see Tony in this mood and that he is getting a mom!
Thank You!!!
Those monkeys are lucky to have you, and we are lucky to have all of you let us see. Thanks
How come you don't name all the Patreon members anymore after the videos?
Amazing to see the troop monkeys still enjoy being hand fed.
Wow, great job building those cages! Pretty stellar job for being shorthanded. :)
40:30 Awwww! My Man Floki, looking ever soo graceful hopping to & fro - I'm totally here for THIS. :)
It is amazing to see him having fun with the wee ones & getting a bit of exercise, good man, Flok!
43:00 That sound is heartwrenching. They will go on for days (if not weeks) in the wild when losing their mums. :'-(
This is why you guys are saints for all that you do to help these wee sweethearts.
If they could speak, the monklets would all lip smack a great big giant chattery thank you soo very much! xx
Toni trying to do Michael Jacksons moonwalk 5:07
Haunting the word to describe, for me, the babies cry for their Mom, Ma Ma, Ma! Thank goodness for VMF, you five these orphans everything they need to heal and b able other way once against n for family and a new lease on life and love! Thank you aavmf!❤️🙏
will her low status affect his status when he is a full grown male?
it certainly can
I ♥️Flokey
That would be enough payment for me too, boo!!!! You guys have no clue how lucky you guys are getting to work with these amazing animals!!! I am trying to make my way to help as we speak!!!
25:43 what a precious sweet face❣️
I enjoyed this even more after watching this episode again. The moms are amazing and so caring taking care of their new little ones.❤
😍, J'espère que tony a pu boire son lait...?
Does the ranking of the foster moms dictate the rankings of their charges?
yes
@@VervetMonkey i pretty much thought that the behaviors belonging to rank were learned rather than instinct. Thank you for the reply.
Where are the babies from the first season?
you will see them now and again
Hi I love your videos and the care and safety provided for all the monkeys, this piqued my interest , i sought out other monkey channels i was horrified with the abuse given to these stolen monkey i found it upsetting that this is illegal and You Tube wont remove them, .Iam continuing my own investigation into this abusive practice and thank you again for all the good work you do
Just wanted to say I’m happy for the caregivers. I’m sure all of your viewers will say thank you so very much 🙏
These. Are such beautiful stories. Did I see there is a foster Dad too? How can I find out ho to name a baby?
Thank you monkeys look healthy and stable mentally
Dave, you're very welcome. As you were closing out the program you mentioned something about "hopefully reaching the 50,000 mark soon." 50,000 what? Thank you!
50,000 subscribers. They currently have 37 or 38 thousand.
@@ms.newyawkeri7559 Thank you!
@@carolynmcpherson2667 You're welcome.
What happens if they have bad habits? Sucking fingers, or pee pee
Glad to see Tony made it. I thought he was a goner at first with one foot in the grave.
Why is Ulku being placed with mom that already has baby
How long do they normally sleep at night ?
from when the sun goes down to just before it rises
@@VervetMonkey oh ok , thank you for the answer. Makes sense. Lol 😆 Are the samango monkeys a relative of the vervet monkeys??
Lindo trabajo de la Fundación. Sería interesante poner otras opciones de idiomas , español , português o francês para poder aprovechar mas lo que ustedes explican !
Sonia (above) says, "Nice work from the Foundation. It would be interesting to put other language options, Spanish, Portuguese or French to be able to take more advantage of what you explain!" Carolyn says, "I am sure that right now no one has the time or the energy to provide such service. Does anyone have any ideas about how we could help with language services?" ("Estoy segura de que en este momento nadie tiene el tiempo o la energía para brindar ese servicio. ¿Alguien tiene alguna idea sobre cómo podríamos ayudar con los servicios de idiomas?")
También me he estado preguntando acerca de los mensajes en otros idiomas. No conozco la respuesta. (Disculpas: mi español no es muy bueno).
OMG! At 13:01, when Ulku was being introduced to us, she turned her head to look over her shoulder at the cage, she had the cutest smile!!!! 😍😍😍 I must have rewound it a dozen times! So so cute!!! These monkeys truly are so adorable! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@Deep *C* Boss Awwww....thank you!☺️
I love the fuss they make when they get angry, So cute😂
Imagine if we treated the vets on the streets the same way they take care of these monkeys. You know the ones who fought for our freedom. Next time you see a vet on the streets, maybe give them some food.
Holy Cow!!!! Tony can "Moon Walk"! LOL
How do you guys prepare the monkeys to be foster moms?
Poor baby calling for mom.😥😥
❤😂❤preciousness ❤😂❤
I m glad they have each other.
Are the monkeys ever returned to the wild? Are there babies born in the sanctuary.
any injured monkey is returned to the wild as soon as they healthy - we a none breeding sanctuary
Toni loves to moonwalk!
smart monkey baby
I know it is not likely you would notice, but by chance has anyone noticed if any of the foster moms began to lactate after adopting a baby? I’ve read it can happen with macaques occasionally and just wondered about the vervets
so far it has'nt
@@VervetMonkey Thanks
I also thought this is not an official rescue place. They would not treat the babies like this. Babies need to suck, hug a furry blanket and be cuddled and calmed.
This are monkey babies not human babies, they are all given the neccessary love and devotion as needed and depending on the little one as long as needed, evidently you have watched 5 minutes of an episode and made a conclusion
Lawana VMF promotes natural monkey behavior in every aspect... from diet to integration to medical. I’m not quite sure your comment was fully “realized”?!
Why does it sound like rain
probably because its raining
❤️🐒❤️
I thought I heard the volunteer say that oku was sucking. I didn’t know that the babies could do that. Is it just the act of sucking for comfort or are some of the foster mums lactating?
Btw... how is Gimly? Haven’t seen him lately. Is he ok?
Some are sucking foster mums on various videos, ulku was sucking too, it’s more like a comfort think I’d say. Gimli was enjoying himself I’ve seen couple of weeks ago on a tree with his friends
I want one so bad!! They are so cute!
Thay need bigger cage
Why do you spend so much time saving these monkeys when on all other TH-cam channels the vervet monkey is getting shot because they are rodents. I commend you for what you do but it must be so frustrating to see that
it certainly is, murderers will always find an excuse for what they do
Ware dose these monkeys come from in FLORIDA AND DO THESE GO BACK TO HUMANS
@ Mike Keebler: The Vervet Monkey Foundation operates in Africa, not Florida. The monkeys are not adopted out to humans.
@@solitairecatnaps4444 ok how do that find a m for the monkey when Florada dose not have monkeys. All those people have let there pet monkey go there thay need to catch those monkeys down there that have a monkey problem there
@@solitairecatnaps4444 o I thought that did in Florida
😂
What about peeing and pooping ?
what about it? :-/
Its so awesome how patient the foster moms are...not only with breaking the ice with the babies but also willing to stay in the intro cages until the babies are old enough to be released. 💙💚💛
So is the girl at 11:43 American then? How many Americans volunteer there?
Btw...you shouldn't have approached the owl. You should let them know that YOU know they are there but you not going to pay attention to them. They will quickly get use to your personality s.t.s. and won't fly away so easily. Do it rt and you can hold them and feed them when they come to visit. They will take care of any mouse prob you may have. Be great to see other wildlife there at times as well.
Love with foster mom grab up the baby. As if to reinforce they are loved.
