So nice to see these little creatures being treated properly. No diapers or clothes or hitting them or trying to make them human. The money donated being used to encourage their natural survival rather than for a captor's luxury. Thank the universe that humane people still exist.
I agree with you totally Vervet foundation gives these baby Monkeys a new life. They give them a family they can count on and love them. No abuse of the babies at all which is a blessing. No Monkey Should be a Pet to anyone!
Just donated to the foundation. God Bless each one of you for what you do. I will continue to support this foundation. Please give us new updates on the monkeys. I enjoy this channel thanks to all of you.
You all do such an excellent job there at the VMF, I thank you for all of your dedication, your expertise, and the sacrifices in your own lives, to give these orphaned babies a second chance in life. I commend you all! 💗🙏🥇
All snuggled up together in a blanket and they get warmth from each other. I love the way you bring them up to live like the monkeys they were born to be with their foster mums, not dressed in ridiculous outfits and diapers.
Does Acorn have a thyroid issue? Just kidding! She is living her best life! Plus size is the right size! Thank you so much for showing us the detail of Dora's journey and how much work and preparation it really takes in order for a successful integration. It's easy, but it's difficult, isn't it? It also must be bittersweet for all of you. You work so hard and are so dedicated. We so appreciate you sharing the monkeys' journeys with us. Take care, and I hope you are hanging in there with the travel restrictions. (I was finally able to re-up my membership donation amount to what it used to be- hooray!)
I love it when Dave explains what they are doing... especially when they make certain sounds and what they mean.does anybody know if they are still doing videos..the most recent I found was from roughly a year ago
Yes, they are still doing videos. They're still putting them out every Thursday and every Wednesday for members of the channel. The last livestream was just two days ago and the last weekly video was last Thursday. I hope you don't have any trouble finding them and can start to enjoy them again!! Ciao!
What a privilege to get to see Dora & Holly develop their relationship. The initial part of the video watching the cheeky faces, the babies sleeping and, the toilet inside dilemma.
Another wonderful video. The toilet tissue roll. So adorable. Dora and Holly, so heartwarming to see how happy Dora is. You all do an amazing job. Dave thank you for explaining their behavior and why they do certain things. It is very helpful in really understanding the behaviors. Thank you everyone for your dedication to the Vervets.
Utterly fascinating! What a contented and cooperative trio Holly, Buttercup and Dora have formed. It's amazing that the bonds were made so quickly. Looking forward to a few more integration videos. . . .
@Julie Prior It is utterly fascinating! I agree with you about what a contented and cooperative trio Holly, Buttercup, and Dora have formed. Also, I'm looking forward to more integrations for the other orphans with their foster moms and Floki with Cuddy.
I love you guys and everything you do. It's great to see the love you give to the fuzzies. I know there is so much work going on behind the scenes. Keep up the good work, and we'll keep putting the word out, and hopefully you'll have more volunteers soon. God bless you all and stay safe. 🐒
I love watching these videos! You guys are amazing at what you do for these little ones! Thank you! Another thing that’s cool about these videos is you see other wild life at work! At 12:18 on the bottom right of the screen, there is a dung beetle moving a piece of dung! It was Acorn looking down at it that caught my attention! So neat to see!! OMG!!! EDITED BECAUSE LATER IN THE VIDEO SHE SHOWED US A DUNG BEETLE!!! SO COOL! I guess I should have watched the whole video before I posted! 😂
I just noticed the baby wraps its tail around the mother´s tail when s/he´s being carried. So cute! I was wondering if they used their tails.That's the first time I´ve seen any of the monkeys use their tail.
🇨🇦🙋 How does the feedings go? It must be alot of work with preparations too? Could you's show us this please? I'd love to see how that's done! My goodness you's sure have alot to do constantly! I'm so thankful for what you's do for these animals to ensure they are released to live their best possible lives! 🙏
A Bug!!! 🐛 😂 😂 Luna and Gimli playing outside of Disneyland on the bucket and suddenly get distracted by a flying bug had me rolling....I think more so was the way she said A BUG!! 😂 Thank you for another amazing video! Thank you for all you do, you guys are truly these guys guardian angels and gave them a wonderful life and they are living their best life!! Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us I know I have learned so much, but my main lesson is that they don’t belong in homes and I always wanted to get a monkey and knew I could give it a good home full of love, certainly much better then you see on some of these TH-cam videos but know I know better then to get one regardless of how much love & care I would give it they belong in the wild. Thanks to your videos I know better and try to help spread the word when I hear someone else is thinking about getting monkey as well. ****LOVE the longer video today! I hope we can get longer videos in the future, I can’t get enough of these guys! 🐵 💗
Going toward baby season I become delighted and wait day by day for the first ones, then am saddened when the last join their troop and we are done for the season. This year, however, there were so many babies and so few volunteers that I actually feel relief for you in this part of the season ostensibly being over. Certainly with so many immunizations [if that's what they are] being given out worldwide, surely by next baby season more volunteers will be allowed to travel from their countries and join you there. We will pray so. Thank you for another wonderful season!
I do have to say I never have a hard time spotting Acorn! 😆 thank you for another enjoyable episode. It's always so bittersweet when all the babies start going off with their new mommies. I hate to see them go cuz I love them so much but it's amazing cuz they get a chance to be with other monkeys again. I'm going to miss seeing Floki every week once this season is over. Hopefully we will get updates on how he's getting along with Cuddy 🤗💙
Watching Dora and Holly choose each other is sweet ❤ then there is little Derk and his possible foster mom reaching thru the wire to pull him close and then it looks like a kiss they give each other ❤
I want to kiss their cheeks their lips their ears their bellies and even their butts they’re so darn cute. What a joy watching these beautiful precious creatures, it’s time for me to make a donation buy some T-shirts and advertise your channel I’m relatively new just love it thank you🌷💚🌷💚🌷💚🌷💚🌷
What would happen if, at this point, Holly would start pacing which, I believe 🤔 you told us is anxiety? Would you release her back out, of course, without Dora? ( kinda answered my question through the video)! Dora didn’t realize tumbling class was involved with grooming!! 😂🤣 Another great video, guys!! Love your work!! Still waiting an update on Jinx!!
The Vervet monkeys are so adorable, especially the babies, tell me please, do the babies ever suckle from their Foster mums. I'm fairly new to this channel and as someone has already put on here, its great to see them without cumbersome clothes on, being mistreated by their human keepers. Keep up the good work. I also find your South African accent very soothing.
How many days (or weeks) until Dora is 3 months old? How and when did you develop the foster mother-baby matching system? Does there already exist a video explaining the process?
Yes, there is a video explaining the whole process. I think it was Season 2... If not Season 1. Kyle (who used to film & do Narration) is the one who did it. This is their fifth year filming, however the sanctuary has been around longer. I’m guessing Dora is getting close the three months.
@@BBB-rd2qi thanks. I think that I did try to find that video of Kyle (starting watching in mid season 1), but if I did find it, I believe it only describes the process, not how such a procedure was developed and upon what base of knowledge or experience was it developed. That's still what I am very curious about. But I'll try to look again.
@@Kim-lc3fv - Ok, gotcha! I’m not familiar with that either. What I do know is Vervets are one of only a handful of monkeys that adopt and it’s a short window during the summer or “baby season”. I’m more familiar with Great Apes. I started watching this channel after watching Chimp Eden which is in the same area.
@@Kim-lc3fv - I found this Q & A video with Kyle. I don’t know if this is the video you were referring to, but here it is: th-cam.com/video/o5uRC9og2e8/w-d-xo.html
@@Kim-lc3fv The truth is that no one can "arrange" anything. Dave and his co-founder worked out the initial protocols, and have refined them over the years, but who choses whom is very human: some creatures "fall in love" with other creatures, but that's the magic of the process, and not something that can be manipulated or organized.
Excelente trabajo realizado com los pequeños monitos . Lindos demás , pero me gustaría saber si ellos son abandonados y rescatados por ustedes y como sería su regreso a las florestas.
Los bebés no están abandonados. Sus madres mueran (accidentes de tráfico principalmente) y los bebés se encuentran aferrados a sus madres muertas. En VFM se encuentran nuevas madres y los bebés se presentan a las tropas. No se les deja ir a la naturaleza.
I think that turning them upside down is not only used for grooming but to get them to detach from their nipples. Mothers and babysitter aunt both also do this to make the baby let go of it. Pulling away makes the baby clamp down harder, this way the baby opens its mouth on its own.
I feel sorry for the mom ! Having to stay in there that long . I bet she feels like her freedom was taken away she has this new baby and can't get out to show them off plus she so much to teach them . These babies precious precious
Gimli!! ♥️ Holly (Hollie) aDORAble mum and daughter! I'm to lazy to count but it's seems to be less orphans this season and if so do you believe it's because of Covid-19 and the restrictions it brought upon us humans? 🤓🏴☠️🇸🇪
Why wont both get their own mums? Isnt that rather dangerous being out in a troupe so tiny and really unable to truly climb up to safety without an adult female able to carry little one.
They have to learn how drink from the feeding cage proficiently. It takes them that long to learn and also make sure they are well enough to proceed to the next level. When they go to the intro cage not only do they have that bond with mom, mom has to allow the babies to drink it the feeding cage as well before releasing into the group.
I believe 3 months is the age in the wild when they normally start to become a little bit more independent of the mother. The importance of this is that they need to leave the mother to get their milk from the feeding cage. How it was explained anyway.
Thats not really a nice thing to want, that means you want a mother to have her baby kidnapped from her for your enjoyment and to force a baby monkey to live in captivity for the rest of its life in an unfimiliar environment, probably dressed up to resemble a human infant - really thats just cruel and selfish - rather volunteer and help and see why fprcing a monkey to be a pet is not a good idea
@@VervetMonkey Yes, Thank You for your honest, and so Very True response! Monkeys are not pets, they will turn on other family members later on in life, and can become physically harmful to some people! This has been proven time and again, that monkeys are not pets! AND, because of human's selfishness, that baby's mother, and that baby, will suffer for the rest of their lives! Don't Do It!
So nice to see these little creatures being treated properly. No diapers or clothes or hitting them or trying to make them human. The money donated being used to encourage their natural survival rather than for a captor's luxury. Thank the universe that humane people still exist.

If I had a way I'd donate, they are the best!
Thank you for that little snippet of Gimli being a happy, normal monkey. Who would have guessed such a transformation was possible.

How very special
這種猴子相比起黃毛長尾的猴…真係好太多，起碼氣氛正常…不會常常虐殺猴BB,更不會因為要獨佔有奶飲…而去上演大逃殺。
脾氣好與壞需則猴的品種有關係，
但最重要都係看去餵食的團隊…那種笑裡藏刀…儲心積累…忍藏觀察…到計算要暗中讓幼猴犯下在佢哋猴世界…規矩…等等等等～引導成年猴去虐殺牠們…大概這樣………。計劃順利完成～若然幼猴還有一絲絲的生命積象，就順便充當好一陣子

Are they cleaning their food before they eat it?
You keep dora and the mom in the enclosure for another month?
I dont know how to do the link thingy
Will you please help the monkeys that are in labs being tested on. Please help them
was she peeling that carot using the fense?
What is Hollie doing with the carrot?
It looks to me like she is cleaning or peeling it in the wire fence? It was intriguing behaviour wasn't it?
@@julieprior3126 Like scraping sand off the carrot? These monkeys are SO smart.
Just ran across a new channel they have a vervet and one of those that looks like a owl here's the channel shell E
You get these little sweeties ready for the universe, for life, not university. 😉
Are Bru, Punim and Viktor OK? I know there are a lot to keep track of this season!
They all doing very well
So so special with the toilet roll
What happened to Kyle?
went back to the US
Do vervets present their backsides to each other when asking to babysit or groom each other?
Not neccesarily - if they had an ichy ass they certainly may
Lol! That's a good one 😀

yes
Why do the moms keep sniffing the babies
I have never seen a fat monkey there but acorn is a chubby one lol
I'm concerned about Flokie. What ever is he going to do when all his little babies have gone and it's only him 😢
no more babies?!
Just for this season.
