I adore Floki for so many reasons! Its so wonderful to see his progression. I loved when he was first in Disneyland and he protected the babies the best he could. I would say he has a big heart.
Even though the rescue didn't make it, he was able to be calm and feel safe, and I'm sure feeling the love in his last few hours of life. It's comforting to know yall love the animals so much, through their last minutes. Even when things look grim. No one backs away or turns him away. He's accepted with love and was humanely euthanized. That's really cool of you all. This is my first time commenting, so this moved me.
Oh my, those two with the leaf just cracked me up, ha!! Aren't they just fascinating? Prayers for the safety of the staff and the healing of the country. Thanks & Blessings ~Sidney Anne
Thank you for these longer well put together videos! I've been following the Vervet monkeys since you started the channel & I have learned so much about these beautiful little creations of God. Be safe, God bless you all.
I started watching about 6 or 7 months before Kyle left and yeah it's so amazing and informative. Love all these ppl, don't you just wish you could just reach into the screen and help some days? ..lol
@@tanyatigermarshall7878 Yes! I wish I could do more than share the videos and let the ads run right through. Hope to be able to send £ next Spring. If I were younger I'd volunteer like a shot, but I'd never cope with the heat and physical work. The foundation needs young, strong, fit people. They are all amazing.
I returned 2 weeks ago from a several-times postponed 2 week trip to SA wildlife reserves. Met a number of SA guests at them this time (due to lack of international tourists). I was surprised to learn that the prevailing view of vervets among these folks was that they are pests. That seems a pity.
It so good to see how some of the monkeys are getting along. It was tough for little Geordi, but you made the right call. I am praying for your country and your people who are suffering as of the results of the rioting and destruction and causing the havoc on the shortages. 🙏💕
I stopped at 23:14 because it was obvious that little Geordi wasn't going to live. He had a blown out pupil and even IV glucose may not have saved the sweet little guy. Geordi would have been brain damaged even if he lived. :( :( On the bright side what a great video with brave and sweet Floki. Durkul not letting him mum get far away from him tugging on her back. These orphans truly need and get such comfort and love thanks to your love and dedication.
What a great episode you guys put on! Floki certainly has earned his keep looking after the babies. It's upsetting to hear of the trouble and I hope there's a resolution soon. ☮️
My Gosh the fruit and Vegetables are on steroids!! I’m So happy to see Flokie, Putting on the charm!! Now it will be hard to contain him!! Lol! Great video. Soo funny how all the monkeys are at the front of the cage. As always, great job to all of you caregivers 💕it shows how much Heart ❤️🩹and Soul you all have for these Monkeys! God bless 🙏 …… the Leaf episode was sooo funny, great narration 🤣 LMAO
I'm so sorry that you guys have even more obstacles to get by, while you are trying to save monkeys' lives! I wish you all the very best, and with our help, I hope that you will find all your needs during these difficult times! Love your videos, love what you all do for these monkeys, and I love you guys for all that you do! 💖 😘
I think Flokes is like many humans, he needs to be needed. He misses his position of keeping the little ones in line and little Leila needs help, he senses that. It's an added bonus that she's so pretty.
FLOKI THE BABY HERO!! I love that boy so much! He looks great and it's sweet he has a new friend! And leila looks like such a sweetie. Once again you all are amazing people! I hope the volunteer situation is better for you all. So very very much love from 🇨🇦 Also I am so sorry for the poor monkey who passed, as long as you know you did your best, my heart hurts but he is no longer suffering. Xoxoxox Ps I heard Dave's message at the end I have been living under a rock, I wasn't aware that things were bad in Africa right now, please stay safe!
The voices of the girl volunteers betray their extra love for injured and physically challenged monkeys, particularly the indomitable Floki and little Leila too. Maybe because monkeys like that are the ones who need more love. Dave, the eternal optimist sounds confident that Floki will be indistinguishable from any other adult male in a few years. I hope so too but in the meantime I know you will all do your best to find him a place where he can heal some more and live his best monkey life. I enjoyed seeing Quinn who had the digestive troubles released into Engletje intro with what looked like all of Engletje troop rubbernecking outside the wire. They don't miss much because it looked like they had all arrived there while the boys were still negotiating the crush cage into the airlock. I suppose that any human activity around the intro enclosure tips them off that something interesting is about to happen. Quinn was more interested in the heaped food tray left just for him.
Praying super strongly for God's mighty hand of protection on all humans and animals in your country! 🙏🙏 Thank you for another fantastic update on what's happening @ VMF! Much love from Georgia, USA!!🐒🦍❤
I really wish you all would where gloves where wShing the fluids and feces & dirt off their bodies. You really don't know what the can be carrying. Stay safe. Also I do love the work you all do there to help theses babies. Thank you!🥰🥰🥰
There is nothing they could be carrying that would be detrimental to our health, important points are dont put your hands in your mouth before washing them and wash your hands before working with them - follow those rules and you will be as safe as anything
At 24:37 you posted a sign for donations. Is it easier to send money, or the things you listed . I was wondering if retrieving things posted would be difficult at this time.
A wonderful, endearing video! But I am dismayed by the news of so much unrest and violence in South Africa and concerned about its possible impact on you all. Stay strong!! We're thinking of you and all the monkeys.
I understand why you call the monckey mother as foster parent. However, I think that the mothers are adopting the orphans monkeys. Plz continue God's work.
rest easy, Geordii.. My man Floki is cool as cash, he is forever impressing me with his clever astuteness & nimble hoppiness on his feets! Is Luka the alpha female? If so, how did Dirkules get hurt? Did males do it? Like, you know when macaque males "get rid" of a females nursing baby, so they will go into heat faster, so they can impregnate them quicker? I'm hoping this isn't what happened here. I literally JUST saw this happen, thats why I'm asking. Damn bastage males. It is soo incredibly sad. Baby didn't even see it coming. :(
it can happen when territorial fights breakout with the bandit troop or males fighting for ranking, females can only give birth once a year so killing there offspring does not help in anyway
Somehow I think its a humans fault. Honestly. Dogs don't climb trees. Guess I was right. Sad about your country. I certainly hope things turn out for the best!
I adore Floki for so many reasons! Its so wonderful to see his progression. I loved when he was first in Disneyland and he protected the babies the best he could. I would say he has a big heart.
Poor Geordi. Thanks to the staff for taking care of him. Thanks for the updates.❤
I can see, that you have to react to a lots of challenges at your Foundation....Thanks for all your care of each wonderful monkey.
Please stay safe all at the Foundation with the upheaval in your country ... prayers to you all !
Praying for all of you and the precious vervets...may God bless you in abundance for you personal and for the care of the vervets.
God bless and protect you Dave, the VMF and all your volunteers
in this difficult time in South Africa.
So sorry to hear about civil unrest . God bless you all ...

that little Floki is too smart .. pretending to be blind to see what its like. Bravo Floki!
Oh my, those two with the leaf just cracked me up, ha!! Aren't they just fascinating? Prayers for the safety of the staff and the healing of the country. Thanks & Blessings ~Sidney Anne
What a treat to see the Samango's 😻 Little Dirk & Floki are always a joy to see. ❤

So nice to get a visual on Laura. Thank you. I love your commentary Laura.
Hi Mary👋🏻thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it 🙈
Floki is the spiritual guru of the Foundation.
I stopped at 23:14 because it was obvious that little Geordi wasn't going to live. He had a blown out pupil and even IV glucose may not have saved the sweet little guy. Geordi would have been brain damaged even if he lived. :( :(

Aww bless little Durkulese is not letting mum go anywhere. It’s magical to see the bond being so strong. All he wants is back to his family.
Luckily the subtitles help me, but thank you Dave for speaking very clearly. It's amazing follow you up. Hope things are getting smoother.
Loved the video ,very sad little rescue died.Glad Dirk is well and back with his mom.Always look forward to each weeks video.Thank you
💛
I think Flokes is like many humans, he needs to be needed. He misses his position of keeping the little ones in line and little Leila needs help, he senses that. It's an added bonus that she's so pretty.
Do the Samangos live with the other monkeys in the bush? They are not belonging to a troop...So how do they live?
they do belong to a troop
FLOKI THE BABY HERO!! I love that boy so much! He looks great and it's sweet he has a new friend! And leila looks like such a sweetie. Once again you all are amazing people! I hope the volunteer situation is better for you all. So very very much love from 🇨🇦

I donated y’all 10.00 sorry it couldn’t be more but I haven’t worked in 5 months due to health issues but I still wanted to help those sweet babies.
Was Lila born blind? She's such a little cutie and seems to manage well with the help of her care givers. Bless them all.

sending money is always easier and less chance of the items getting lost - thanks
@@VervetMonkey thanks for your response.
São muito lindinho
Que dieu vous protège et vous donne la force pour le travail que vous faites.
What happened to Floki that he was in sick bay? I tried to back track but I didn't see why. Can anyone tell? I ❤ Floki!
❤❤❤❤❤
These baby's are so tiny. Look at the size of cucumber compared to the babies size! My goodness.
A wonderful, endearing video! But I am dismayed by the news of so much unrest and violence in South Africa and concerned about its possible impact on you all. Stay strong!! We're thinking of you and all the monkeys.
Monkey cute
I need a little friend too 🐵
Are all the females in these various troups, spayed?
No - the males are vasectomised
How did mum know that dirkulis' s coming back at that moment?does she hear his weeping ?
males are
Praying for you all.
