The Mother's Tale | Monkey Island 101

- In the tropical forests of Sri Lanka lies an ancient ruined city, now overtaken by the jungle and ruled by a new dynasty: toque macaques. Among them is Ana, a low-ranking female in the forty-strong King Troop, about to give birth during one of the worst droughts in years. Life in the ruins is usually abundant, with fruit-laden forests and crumbling temples as a playground, but the dry season has left food scarce. Ana struggles to find enough to eat, threatening her ability to produce milk for her newborn. Meanwhile, alpha male Korom faces challenges of his own, as a rival plots to overthrow him-a change that could endanger the troop’s young. When a high-ranking female kidnaps Ana’s baby, the tiny macaque faces its greatest danger yet. With drought testing them all, survival hangs in the balance for this unique primate community.

A beautifully crafted documentary … I never wanted to leave their troop. Thank you U Tube!!!
This was awesome & beautifully done of a documentary video!
So good I’d love a part two 🤗
Was absolutely correct when it came to explaining the way of monkey laws & life!!
It’s so nice to not see people feeding them junk food. It’s nice to see they have rankings.
I have read about places where scientists stay by the monkeys for a length of time and record things like this. On one island, a huge storm was coming and the humans were evacuated. After the storm, they had gone back expecting all to be dead. They were surprised that very few were lost. They knew all the monkeys, who their infants were, and people had studied them for quite a while. I'm sure that this has been going on at several places.
I'm a primatologist and spent 2 years in Cambodia studying the hybrids there. During the Monsoon season the forests around the temples sometimes flood so much the water levels go up to the low branches of the trees, about 5 or 6 feet of water in hours. It usually will go down in a day or so. But it is so amazing how the monkeys and other animals there don't seem to even get bothered by it, they just go about their lives and have other places they will go to while the waters are high in their normal territory. The humans are the ones who scrambled and ran out of there and were so worried about the monkeys and pagodas around there. But when we went back the mo keys and other animals returned and life went on as before. It's amazing how adaptable Macaques are. And they live their whole lives out in the wild so they are much more used to the changes in weather than we as humans often are. Many times we worry about them when in fact they are probably going to be able to survive a lot of those natural events in the forests than any of us humans would lol.
Macaques are also VERY GOOD swimmers and they LOVE to swim, ESPECIALLY when it is often so extremely hot. But even babies are super good swimmers and just get thrown in and it's sink or swim lol they always learn to swim though and very fast. It's fun to watch
Hello. I enjoyed reading your comment. I am curious to where you visited in Cambodia? Angor Watt? I follow troops of monkeys that live at the Temple. Enjoy your day eima.@@eimasalisio2537
I like this because there were no humans trying to steal the babies it looks like. ❤
Theyre in the jungle dropping them like flies.

Hard to wrap my head around drought in the tropics. 🤯
It would be interesting to know how Anna and her son turned out since this film was made.
I'm only kidding first thing, but I heard he ended up going to college and graduated as a lawyer and moved to Texas and started his own law firm and he's doing really good now up in Dallas. And Anna's still chilling in the forest.

@@davidroberson8030 He'll send for her, and she will live in the world renowned Fort Worth Zoo.
I agree. Monkeys can be cruel to each other just like us.
@@Angelo-ve5sdit's amazing how much of our most animalistic behavior we share with our primate relatives.
While watching a good documentary like this I catch myself getting sidetracked by the things I’m so curious about regarding the way it was made. Such as, how do they know so many details about most of the individuals and how did they each even get a name that stuck with them. The narrator was able to tell us how old they are, how many children they have had in total compared to how many survived. That would mean someone has been keeping a very close eye on them for at least several years now. Unless the narrator is just reading a fictional script but that doesn’t seem to be the case, in my opinion. It has all been put together very well. They should consider doing a little update on the main individuals. I would love to know how Anna and her son have come along since this was recorded. Thanks for sharing your work here on TH-cam. It is appreciated. 💞
35:37 The unexpected storm brings life-saving rain, transforming Corum's kingdom overnight. Nature’s resilience is astounding! How do you think these early rains will shape the troop’s future?
I watched a movie very similar to this called "MONKEY KINGDOM". Toque Macaques are very intelligent and very greedy. Thanks for uploading this interesting video!!❤😚
Thank you for watching! ☺
@@lovenature Thank you very much for sharing. I loved every minute and learned quite a bit. 👏
It’s not often you see such a low ranking mother take such aggression against a high ranking kidnapper. Rarer still is the absence of immediate and harsh consequences for such a defiant act.
Anna is not as low as this doc portrays. If she was as low as suggested she never would have gotten away with that scuffle and taking her baby back. Anna is at least mid-ranked.
It is also not likely that we see Anna’s son from hours after he was born. He was fully dry and his umbilical cord was gone as well as the placenta. It is crucial the mother eat the placenta for her and her babies healthy. This is likely the reason we don’t see the baby until 24 hours later as it’s unappealing to watch them eat a bloody placenta.
The placenta contains massive doses of hormones and oxytocin that stimulate the mother’s breast feeding and mood. Not eating the placenta is often the difference between life and death for these monkeys.
Anna’s son was probably a day or more when we first see him, at least. 24 to 36 hours.
Another way we know Anna isn’t bottom ranked is that she lets her son play as much as 10 feet or more away while she eats with other mothers. The bottom/lowest ranked mother will not allow her baby more than 2 or 3 feet at most and not at all until he is more than 3 weeks old.
Thankyou.good doc...
Thank you for tuning in!
Very very nice video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed this documentary. Would love to know if people are still filming for another? I would love to know how Anna and her son are. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊 Thanks!
とても美しく目の保養と勉強も兼ねた良い作品でした。
Not quite sure why but I enjoyed this video that was pretty good, hats off to the narrator, but not sure that she's 100% right on all the stuff she said, you would have to live and sleep with these monkeys to know all that stuff, but it made the little video pretty cool to watch.😊
She's paid to say everything. Lol. She has nothing to do with the film.
Me sentí mal por Anna 😢 (Anna is also my mother’s name ) La pobrecita tuvo qué comer 🍽 gusanitos y ojitas 🍃 mientras los otros se daban la gran artada! 😡🤬…… 🤧
Awww, a monkey soap opera....

Смотрю много лет, это уникальные кадры.Спасибо Ютуб.РОССИЯ.
It's hard to believe this when you show 2 different types of monkeys grooming each other. What type of monkeys are even on Monkey Island?
Did you watch the entire documentary? Two types are specifically mentioned on the island
Feel for Anna 😢❤
❤it's so terrible to see Anna be lowest ranking m9nkeys are horrible but it somehow works for them.
reasonable work. However, macaque society within the females is very important and complex. The males are emphasized in this series far more than the females, which is a mistake.
This is a good documentary however I have watched so many monkeys documentaries that I saw something that doesn't add up!! First the Alfa Male going over to such a low ranking female is odd and usually the high ranking females would put a good discipline on her!! Also I have seen a low ranking mom spend hours just waiting for the other female to let him go!! Attacking her to get her son back you would think it would be a instant beating from the other females! Strang in my opinion!!
These monks r not as beautiful as other breeds. But they r unique.
Very different moneys that the ones seen in Cambodia. People seriously stop hating in the videos that the people take from around Angkor Wat and other tenples ruins in Cambodia. These are not longtail/northern pigtail or hybrids from Cambodia. Toque Macaques and other Macaque species are all very different. And also is important to remember these moneys in Sri Lanka have more wild fruit trees available to them than what the monkeysbin Cambodia have available to them. Also these are a small number of Toque Macaques, in general being that they are only found in the small island of Sri Lanka means ghere arnt that ma y of them therefore there arnt as many troops fighting for territory and food and dont run as high a risk of pushing into needing to live in human populated areas as many longtail/pigtail monkeys from Cambodia and Thailand often end up having to do. So making the comments about how great it is to see no humans feeding them or "stesling babies" is ridiculous. Also stop assuming it is the VOs in Cambodia that "steal babies" the VO who go into temple parks of Cambodia to record the WILD monkeys there arent the ones who steal animals, that would be poachers who set traps. The same poachers that that the VOs try to protect the monkeys from. Having working in Cambodia myself in forests around Angkor Wat and Bayon temple as a primatologist doing research and assisting in sterilization programs run by wildlife organizations i can tell you for sure that those VOs who post videos on zyoutube of longtsil and pigtail and hybrid monkeys from places like Cambodia are NOT harmful to those monkeys! It upsets me so much to see people saying that and assuming they know anything about what happens in the world where those videos are taken. And this "documentary" isnt showing you all of whag happens to even these Toque Macaques. There are fights between monkeys and serious injuries and many young moms who dont feed babies and so on. And the people recording here would also NEVER try to "save" any babies. Wild monkey babies have low chances of survival in reality and often new young moms lose their first babies. The same exact things that happen in those VO videos on youtube will happen to monkeys in these kinds of documentary shows, and the people recording these shows would do the same thing the VOs do. They dont interfer they simply record. You people are wrong for your assumptions about those VOs taking videos of monkeys. People always yelling in comments about how the VOs should do something to help save some baby monkeys because their lives are difficult is ridiculous, ANYONE who records wild animals should not i terfer no matter the hardships seen. Remove your bias against those VOs and y9ud find the reality that wild animals sinply have difficult and separate lives than any human in the west. The hate and unjust bias against those people who record Cambodian monkeys is wrong and seriously unfair and a thing I and colleagues of mine have taken up as something to help educate people on. Because those VOs get cyber bullied on youtube and treated wrongly and reported for u tru claims by karens in comments. The problem isnt the VOs. It is the poachers who set traps and kill pregnant females and sell babies in street markets. That isnt done by the VOs that you see post videos here on youtube. Direct your anger in the right place.
Anna has a huge belly.
Love monkeys
