Hi! I love watching the cute babies in your videos. Recently I also started watching other monkey channels and saw a video of a 11 month old pig tail monkey whose teeth are rotten and he has infected gums. His name is Yen in Dalton, Yen, Bella channel. Is there anything that can help him recover? These are his milk teeth so there is hope that with treatment his permanent teeth will be healthy. Your suggestions are very welcome.
Hey Kyle. Chuck here in L.A....Well, Antelope Valley anyway. My question is, if all these people are keeping monkeys for pets, where are they getting them? Are they being poached like in Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Philippines etc? It seems u get a lot of former pets. I'd love to meet you when you get back. That would be an honor.
Aww, it's like Diane's foster mom knew she had thrush, she was giving soft kisses around her mouth, like she knows it hurts.
This is my all time favorite for primates. Such love to find a foster mom for each and let them live the way they are supposed to.
I just discovered this channel. Watching cute baby monkeys get a brand new lease on life is so theraputic to me.
Wow!!!! Miss Gold seems to be one of the best adopting mums out there.
The babies that were kept as pets seem like they hold onto each other a lot for comfort. They look like they tend to stick together. Good videos Kyle.
Thanks Cheri.
That was such a lovely video. Amazing to see the babies with their new mums and relax. Such human like faces and reactions. Good to see the monkeys being treated with respect. There are so many videos of monkeys on You Tube that break my heart where they are used to make money and hounded.
@Wendy 66...you are so right. I started watching videos of macaques after seeing 2 really good documentaries, Disney's "Monkey Kingdom" and PBS's "Snow Monkeys." They were both so very inspirational, funny and entertaining that I came to youtube to find more and more monkey movies.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of creeps that manipulate, compromise & harm these innocent cousins of ours both for $$ and sheer joy. You can actually hear some of those VOs laughing in the their camera while they knowingly feed a lower class monkey that is only going to get reprimanded by the higher monkeys because of the hierarchy. Anybody who films social monkey troops KNOWS that they eat in order of their standing in the troop. Low ranking monkeys stay back and out of the way until the alpha male, the matriarch and her family and all the other higher ranking monkeys are full. Then and only then can the low ranks get in on the grub.
Those VOs know this and will seek the younger, lower ranks out and hand them food...then take a couple steps back with their iPhone on a tripod and just wait. It's sick and cruel. Then they will come up with a title like "SweetPea gets owned by large alpha male monkey!" or "Million tears...break your heart...baby monkey nearly die after attack!".'
All of which would NEVER had happened if that VO didn't make it happen.
Luckily, I fell upon these 4 brilliant monkey TH-cam channels:
- VMF
- Arroz Marisco
- Kiyo
- JW
These are the only channels I watch, with the exception of the network clips by Nat Geo Wild, PBS, BBC, Smithsonian, etc. They are professionally produced. They respect and truly care for the monkeys.
They prove that without human manipulation these monkeys are very dignified, loving, funny and sweet. And, they truly know how to treat one another in THEIR OWN world.
Yes,I have seen so many videos and it's so sad to watch,it breaks my heart and they get by with it.😢
I forgot just how tiny little Vera was! 💕
Mrs. Gold is a rock star. It's so heart-warming to see one baby comforting another.
This monkey baby faces makes me so very happy! Thanks for this video!
I am new to your channel, and I am completely in love with these amazing creatures. I love the way you do your videos Kyle, and that there is no exploitation of the monkeys for profit's sake. Your videos are informative and enjoyable, and I thank you all for what you do. I am making my way through the second season now, and look forward to watching more. Bless you, all.
I love your channel. It warms my heart to see these beautiful babies find their wonderful mums to give them all the cuddles and love they need. You people are so amazing in what you do. You are all very special people. ❤❤
Love Paco's discovery of his feet and toes! Such a darling!
It's so sad to see these poor babies scared like this,it's hard telling what these babies have been through or what might have happened to them if you all hadn't taken these babies.I love how these babies protect each other.Each and every one of you all do a great job and take pride in what you do for/with these babies.😊❤
Vera captured my heart as she looks up from her sleep crate. Kyle you & the foundation are truly amazing with the work you do for these precious little ones!!! Bless you and each other person there to help!!!
You do excellent job on vids and narration kyle hugs to all babies from me plz
Thank you Sharon.
9:36 That bipedal run & grab was EPIC!!!! I enjoy watching the bonding process between foster moms & the babies!!!!
Yeah, lol that's one of my favorite things they do.
Ellie (I hope I spelled that correctly!😉) you go girl! Feeding three babies at one time, you’re doing good! You all do such a wonderful job with these babies. It just amazes me the work that you do. And you are very successful at it. Just look at when the babies join the troops then go on and live wonderful lives. I’ll because the staff of the vervet monkey forest are so dedicated to their jobs. Thank you all and keep up the good work.❤️❤️❤️
Too stinkin' cute!
Ha ! Si j'avais eu la santé........et la jeunesse...je serais partie je crois bien pour aller vous aider. Quelle vie passionnante et inspirante ! et qui donne le sentiment d'être utile pour rendre ce monde meilleur...du moins pour ces petits êtres fragiles et sans défense.... Un peuple qui prend soin de ces animaux prendra soin aussi des humains en détresse placés sur leur chemin. Dire que certains peuple s'en nourrissent, ça fait mal au cœur car ils nous sont si semblables....Mais les ramener, en prendre soin jusqu'à ce qu'ils soit prêts à vivre à nouveau leur vie de primates...Ils ont l'esprit vif et ils apprennent vite, ce qui est un gros signe d'intelligence....
I can not get over that serious brow line Pakko has. Lol.
I know it's so cute right 😝😄😄😘😘😘
What a SPECIAL GROUP of people ,. ENJOY every moment of FILMS. THANK YOU ALL for your DEDICATION, hard WORK, and DEVOTION , AND ESPECIALLY THE SACRIFICES .
Lol, he's the best!
I am happy to hear, that everything is going well in this troop, which adopt orphans for the first time...
They are just so adorable! I think vervet is my favorite breed. They are so cute and so much fun to watch. If had has the physical health, I would volunteer in a heartbeat!
They have the most beautiful eyes
I'm kinda new to watching these videos,I'm on Season 2.I don't have the money to donate at this time but I do watch your videos and watch the ads because I know that's how it helps you all also.😊
What a wonderful video Kyle thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy all of the little babies........... I hope you always get to continue your work with these animals. They trust and love you.......
What a great thing you people are doing ! Makes my heart happy! Maybe you can answer a question, I know people make pets with baby monkeys. They are very cute , but !!! They don’t keep most of them What is the point ? People do know they will grow up !!! I HATE seeing baby monkeys being SOLD on the streets in horrible surroundings and we all know where this takes place those people are so cruel. They know it’s illegal to sell them but they don’t seem to care the people that buy them needs to be locked up or better still have to PAY a large fine and that money given to rescue places !!
I have no idea. You'd have to ask the weirdos who think they can keep them as pets. I always think the same thing, logic says obivously this cute little thing will grow up, but I don't think people who want to keep monkeys as pets have much logic going for them.
I'm so grateful these baby's are with you.
Who were the owners and how did you rescue the baby's from the owners ????
awww i love watching your video,keep up the amazing job helping those beautiful babies
Aren't they just adorable🤗. I'm so happy they are being so well taken care of. I just pray they all get saved.😔
Thanks Kyle! So incredibly beautiful and sweet, I feel like I could just reach through the screen and give cuddles to them all! Keep up the great videos!
What a curious little face. So cute!
Way to go Kyle, great video and plenty of commentary. I love watching your videos and I wish I could afford to support you 100% and work with you side by side. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Thanks!
So impressed with your program, especially foster mom program!
Thanks Vicki!
Yes new episode!!! Love you guys and what y'all do!!
Its so sweet how loving they are to each other! 💞🐵🐒💞
It’s so wonderful seeing the tireless, important work everyone at the VMF does. It truly restores my faith in humanity.
On an unrelated note: Damn, Kyle son, you are a good lookin’ dude. Wish I could look that pretty running around the SA bush!
That's so funny. Mom-to-be sneaks in a kiss.
Adorable as always ... Thank you for sharing this video I hope you have a nice day
Thanks Kim.
Its awesome how the babies lose natural mom and bond so well being adopted. You all are awesome
A+ to Misses GOLD!
Awwwe, lovely photography again ❤👍
Thanks!
Loved the video. Thanx 4 sharing Kyle.
Thank You for posting the video enjoyed watching it very much ❣️
Thanks for watching!
I didnt think Abby would get a mom since she is 4 months. Above the 3 month threshold.
It's not a threshold or a set firm standard, these are simply monkeys ya know? lol. Three months is just generally descriptive of the time the babies don't desire to be constantly with mom and they become more independent so they are less likely to bond with the foster moms as strongly as the young babies do. But we integrate monkeys into the troop at any age. The younger ones under a year are just fortunate enough to be able to skirt around the troop dominance hierarchy and fall in as a baby who gets treated differently and allows for generally easier integrations.
Awe how could you not love the babies! Thank you for sharing them with us!
Vera is my favorite of babies in the new, Ms gold is best mom the one video with all 3 babies in to the troop on her back an legs an in the troop Crystal an jeff an Trisha an Peggy um I think they all are... An Abby her mom look a lot a like 😆 😆 😆 💋 💋 💋
The preview thumbnail of/for this video is just SO extremely cute AND adorable! 😉😜😘😍🐵🐒
*Dixie looks like a Ferengi from Star Trek!* ❤️🤗❤️🙈🍌🙉🍌🙊❤️🤗❤️
you do a great job
Love Abbys lil face..
Edgar reminds me of Merlin
Just wait till you meet Gabe! lol he's just like Timothy and Merlin combined.
I get sad when the credits start rolling.
lol, is it weird that this sadness makes me happy?
Great Video .
Thanks!
I thought I was going senile when I heard babies were being introduced to Robert Troop because I didn’t remember them fostering last season. Any reason in particular why they were added to the foster list this season or is it just a new troop? From what we saw in this video, the moms seem like sweethearts.
Robert troop is one of the oldest troops at the foundation. No particular reason they haven't in the past, just finally decided to use them I guess. They are great moms!
Just how many babies has Mrs. Gold fostered? And has she ever fostered one in the season?
Great vid Kyle....lots of new stuff happening....Is Toni the bush baby going to be released soon??? How do you integrate one??? I know Joanna is caring for him now...love a t-shirt done with Abby's face on it...also glad y'all let momma deal with thrush issues...let good ole mother nature deal with it....you r gonna have to get troop integration happening soon to deal with all these "PETBABIES".. Im worried bout them being adopted....
Love abbys look too. Unique.. 💜🐒❤
So the deal with Toni as I tried to express in the last episode is that the window is left open and Toni just goes in and out at night and eventually one night he will just leave and never come back. There is no integration process because Bush Babies are solitary creatures (except for when they sleep, they usually sleep in small groups) so they just do their own thing once they're old enough. Natural instinct and all that good stuff. Lol integration never stops.
Can the adult vervet's not get thrush?
It's not likely unless they have a compromised immune system inhibiting their body from fighting it off before it becomes an infection... and it's not commonly contagious. It's more common with infants because yeast cultures in the milk or formula infect the mouth because of open sores during teething and the digestive enzymes in the saliva not strong enough since they are not eating alot of solids yet.
@@jessicat3762 thank you for the info!!
@@jessicat3762 Thanks Jessica!
@@jessicat3762 That is true, because I came down with thrush almost 2 years ago when I was 32 years old; I was diagnosed with diabetes several weeks later (I had gone to an overnight clinic due to a mysterious, nagging cough from a cold that had disappeared weeks before, but the stubborn cough wouldn't follow suit), which had compromised my immune system and caused other chronic health issues, as well. My mother -- who is 30 years my senior -- had also gotten it a number of years ago.
QUESTION: when you have a troup of babies do you always integrate them into the same troup? Or do you split them up at all? Or does each little group get integrated into a different troup? Sorry hope this makes sense. Love all the vidoes so much! I appreciate all the hard work and time you all put into the monkey's!
Thanks very much Maranda!
It's different every time. Depends on the age of the babies and the proficiency of each at the feeding cage, depends on which troops already have babies, depends on the time in the season and how the moms have been with babies so far, etc. There's no set standards, its just a matter of the individuals and whatever works or doesn't and making necessary adjustments.
Is there something you could give the monkeys for thrush or do you have to let it go away on its own? Does it go away faster when the mothers lick it?
Thrush is a fungal infection, it always lives dormant in the hosts system, so it will never go away, it will just not be active and showing symptoms. All that medications can do is to mitigate the symptoms and help the outbreak to go away sooner. The babies are given Colloidal Silver, Probiotics, Lysine, and some other Homeopaths.
Freya has a death grip on Nala!! We're they together or in separate homes?
Nala came with Leo and Freya and Edgar came together.
If a baby has thrush in an enclosure-and not separated from a foster Mom-is medication then instead given in the bottle?
depends on the severity of the situation and the particular enclosure the baby is in and what sort of medication is being given. But generally the thrush medications we use are topical.
Watching your videos is so fascinating. Are other studies going on concerning primates adopting a baby monkeys from outside of their troop as these Vervets do?
I honestly have no idea. Google search would probably be yer best friend for a question like that.
❤❤❤❤❤
Won't the baby have to be treated for thrush and won't the other baby catch it as the baby also drinks formula?
They are beautiful.
How old are the vervet monkeys that are kept as pets usually come in to your facility?
So, apparently among vervets even the females have large impressive canines? Note 10:32 . Even the babies have pretty definite canines 15:40
I can see from time to time the food but what do you feed the babies other than milk
They are fed any type of fruits, veggies, seeds & nuts we can get our hands on. Banana, papaya, mango, cabbage, peppers, pumpking seeds, squash etc.
😁💖🐒👍
I'm ready for my close up. He says
Great videos ! My favorite thing are the new mom introductions.
Questions .... and what point are the males sterilized .? Also, what is the average life span, I’m curious since you stated you have a strict numbers rules set by the government
Keep up the great work❤️
lol not sterilized. Vasectomized. Simply vasectomized, the same way humans get vasectomized. Vervets can live anywhere from 15 - 30 years.
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona USA Can I ask a question about the monkeys? I noticed that all monkeys do with when they are grooming each other. What do they find on the fur and eat? They put something in their mouth I am so curious to know what!
Do the babies get upset when their foster moms leave and go back out into the troop without them once bonding has started? How do you persuade the females to leave the intro enclosure after a visit when you aren't yet ready to release the babies to go out with them into the troop?
The foster moms don't generally leave and go back into the troop once they are in, unless there is an intro. We don't persuade them, they just go out on their own cause the door is open and they want to go out.
💜
Is that Nala 16:27? Whoever it is I love that face!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Kyle, in this episode you said Elsie is Chippie's daughter. Do you mean that Chippie fostered Elsie or is Elsie her maternal daughter?
Thank you.
Elsie was fostered by Chippie
It us amazing to see the Foster mothers hug and kiss the babies when as most if the biological mothers are very cruel to their babies.
They all nurture their babies; it would make no sense as a species to hurt their own offspring.
The videos exploiting half wild macaques give a very skewed perception of reality.
Do sweet.
11:17 Is Abby eating a red bell pepper? Do they eat vegetables much? I always see fruit
They feed on any type of fruits, veggies, seeds & nuts they can get their hands on. Banana, papaya, mango, cabbage, peppers, pumpkin seeds, squash etc.
What is thrush??
hey there i was interested in your volunteer program and was wondering what the age requirement is. I checked your link to the volunteer page but couldn't find it
Please email info@Vervet.za.org General age requirement is 18 years old.
I love your videos. Every single one. Have you already named the monkeys each of the months? I was also wondering if it would be easier if you did a voice over on the clips instead of saying all the stuff at the very beginning? considering your internet but I’m not sure. Just a thought. 😁
So snuggly lol.
Here is my boyfriend Kyle!! You looking so cute!!
Is it harder to get x pet babies to bond with new mothers? Or make friends with other babies?
Are the females more or less interested in adopting babies when they come into heat?
Wouldn't know. That happens at a completely different time of year. There is breeding season when they are in heat and then there is birthing season, birthing season is when adoptions occur, so it seems that it's more genetically instinctive for them to desire babies at the appropriate time of year.
Another great episode Mrs Gold is an absolute legend ! Xx I look forward these updates every week👍👍 ...so nice to be able to follow the progress of these beautiful little babies 👶
Just a quick question for you.... do vervets adopt in the wild ? ie....if one of the troop mums gets killed will an auntie or sister take over the baby? Or do the dads step in like they sometimes do with other primates ??just wondered if adopting was a normal behaviour for them outside of the VMF XX
I don't know of any studies proving adoption in the wild, but I'd say the fact that so many babies end up abandoned by the troops after their mothers are killed would lead me to believe no, especially since most females in a troop give natural birth it would be strange for them to desire to care for two babies. Not even our foster moms like Mrs. Gold end up keeping both babies.
Vervet Monkey Foundation I have a question and I hope it’s not dumb.. but Mrs Gold removing one baby from her (I can imagine carrying the two would be difficult). But the one she took off of her, you think that one will be adopted by another? Do you still watch them once they are out (if you can see them that is ) just to make sure the one she let go isn’t alone? Thanks Kyle for answering so many comments and for all the hard work the foundation does!!
@@mimi2-3 All the babies are monitored for a week after the initial release. All troops are monitored every day, so every day the monkeys are accounted for and checked on, this is how we keep track of everything that's happening with the babies.
Also yeah, I'm not sure who is currently with Mrs. Gold. but just because she took one baby off at that moment doesn't mean that's the baby she is getting rid of or keeping, Vervet's don't plan ahead that much lol. But yes, in the end, Mrs. Gold only kept one baby who she trades off with another mom sometimes, and then Halo I believe took one of the other babies. But really with the foster mom situation, the babies just sorta end up with whoever they end up with and it can change quite frequently.
Vervet Monkey Foundation I see that now Kyle after watching all of your videos (season 1, 2 etc). Looks like the whole troop welcomes the babies and pay attention to all of them. Meaning if one is left behind and starts to cry someone will come in and scoop them up and carry them to catch up with the gang. This is just so fascinating to me!! I really do appreciate all your hard work and can not wait to see what other work you produce with vervets or which other animals you chose to vlog about!!! Hope you are feeling a lot better!!!
Why do some moms get 2 babies and others get none?
There's not really a rhyme or reason, sometimes thats just how things go.
A
If someone from the Vervet monkey would please let me know if it is normal for stressed babies that have been taken from their moms to self soothe by sucking their own penises? The Angkor Wat monkey channels are showing one that humans had dropped there at the the temple after taking him very young. They could handle him so abandoned him there. Multiple channels are showing this animal they call Axel doing this. I have seen 1 other baby dovtjos after he had been kidnapped by one of the troop members and kept for a few days. The new one is a pigtail, the others are longtails.
Yup, it happens sometimes. They basically suck on whatever they can to comfort themselves and the more like a teat the object is the more appealing it becomes.
you know I think I may lay of them rhesus macaque videos for a while. there are some REAL SICK SOCIOPATHS in the comment sections that make me sad for humanity
You should wash out Elly's mouth. The rest was great.
It was all great. Wouldn’t want to be your kid.
No one asked you. I don't like swearing, that's my opinion.
I think she was just asking for help.
MoniqueB Explorer chill....don’t be such a negative nelly
@@goldenshepherd9858 mind your own business. Its my opinion.
Disgusting destructive and mean tempered beasts!
