I can't get enough of Floki! He is a brave soul. From the time he came to you, and watched over the babies in Disneyland. He is well cared for. Thank VMF !
A really big thank you to the wonderful volunteers who are helping the precious little animals. GOD loves these little animals, and created animals before HE created woman. It takes a truly special person to care enough to give of themselves for the little babies. HELLO FROM TEXAS
She is very beautiful but makes some extremely sad faces when she realizes it is going to be done no matter how much she fusses or struggles. All of the staff perform miracles, I thank the Lord for putting these precious little ones into your loving care.
4:00 i know this moment is very special for all of you lovely caretakers. All of your hard work, time & energy of giving gentle care, nurturing & love to these little babies every single day & night for months is well worth it & truly a beautiful sight to behold. Thank You for being such awesome humans. The world needs lots more of all of you. xo
I love these videos! They show us how these caring, dedicated people successfuly integrate orphaned babies into a troop giving them a second chance at a normal monkey life! Watching the activities of ALL of them, in a protected sanctuary, is heart warming as well. Such totally delightful critters!
What a fantastic episode! Getting to see the squirmy, bitey monkies who are not altogether on board for the treatments they need and the dedication of the staff to make sure they get said treatments. Our man Floki seems to be coming along great, little Yolanda absolutely certain she doesn't need that annoying sling anymore, and handsome little Mini Max hugging..Ellie, was it?...when he got back to Disneyland, oh my, so sweet! Again, another great episode showing us it's not always smooth sailing getting the babies headed in the right direction again. It's been said and will continue to be said...Thank you for all every one of you do for these amazing monkeys.
I don't know how I missed your arrival of Josh. I lost my son Josh to testicular cancer so I'm going to be following this little guy. He carries a very special name and I want to see what his personality is
I pray that people could share the love that these monkeys give to one another so freely. I thank you all for the endless work you do for each one of them 🙂. I keep u in my prayers 🙏
This channel is a blessing to see. Thank God for the love they show. All the people here are amazing for the compassionate time they give to these babies and getting them a foster mom
Loved this episode. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you and the recovering monkeys to the vets. And letting us see some of the care involved in their road to recovery. It shows how much you all love these babies and are 100% committed to getting them back to a normal healthy life. So happy they are all improving thanks to your dedication in their care. You are all very special people. Bless you all. Edit: Just a side note. There are hundreds of vervets running around climbing and hiding in trees that you check on every day. How you can assess that there is something wrong health wise with one of them absolutely amazes me. It seems like an impossible thing to do. How you are able to this I don't know. You are truly dedicated. Thank you for that dedication.
Always so touching to see these little guys get a second chance to have a mom that loves them as they were their own. Monkeys are truly remarkable in so many ways. I never get tired of observing them. Especially because your videos are so entertaining. I am so glad you guys continue to allow us into your world year after year. I wish I lived in SA so I could volunteer. I do agree that I wish this place didn’t have to exist, but all of your hearts are solid gold for what y’all do for these kids and babies. Thanks for all of it…
Awww Floki looks worse than before!!! With his leg twisted behind the other! I know most times it looks worse than it is, as I definitely know from my many surgeries. Thank you for all your doing for these beautiful animals!
Only Floki can attack his food the way he does. You guys are doing a fabulous job and the little ones are all healing nicely because of your dedication to their care. Thank you for putting up with all the bites etc as you try to fix the damages humans have caused to wild monkeys. Great episode.
It was so Awesome to see Floki put his foot flat and to stand with his leg "straight" while enjoying (thoroughly) his milk! ❤️❤️❤️ He has come such a long way, and it's not only because he's an awesome monkey, but it's from all the love, support, and the amazing Care he has received from everyone at VMF!!! SO, As monkeys can't express their gratitude in words, I'll say Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for him!🙏❤️❤️
Flokes! A huge internet hug sent his way. Thanks to everyone at the foundation helping all the monkeys have a wonderful monkey life. REMEMBER TO LEAVE A COMMENT AND THUBMS UP to show our appreciation to VMF for the work they do.
And subscribe! It's free, and the VMF gets some money for the number of subscribers they have, as well as the number of "watches" their episodes generate.
Now how do you get milk to the adopted babies? Not all of the Mom monkeys have milk do they? Oh now I see the feeding cages for the babies. What a good thing you guys are doing for these little guys.
What is wrong with the little monkeys' leg????? Thank God they are not sold to people that would abuse them! I've seen so much of that while watching shows on the families and little baby monkeys they have. It turns my stomach to see the beautiful babies being hurt like some of them are. Bless you for finding foster moms for the little ones.
Poor Floki’s right leg looks more jacked than before. With his right knee not bending it looks like his whole body weight is gonna pull his leg out of socket or even snap his leg bone. 😎
I love Thursdays! What a great job you've done with rehab on those injured ones. The vet sounded really excited at how much they had all progressed. Floki's reaction to seeing the nuts and seeds arriving was lovely! No malingering with those patients - they're determined to find ways to move! Thank-you for another great episode. 👍💖
Dopiero trafiłam na tą stronę i ... jak dobrze,że jesteście,bo mój głos sprzeciwu był kasowany,gdyż nie podobało się,że pisałam niepochlebnie o działaniach grup,które są skupione na zarabianiu pieniędzy kosztem małpek,naśmiewaniu się z ich cierpienia,filmowaniu wtedy,kiedy potrzebna jest pomoc. Dziękuję za to,że jesteście. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
What a beautiful place. Thank you for taking care of these babies and the mama's so beautifully. Do you have male adult monkeys also or they all neutered? I will definitely start a donation at the first of the month. That way I can keep up with the 1st of each month. God bless you all and I will check to see if you have any merchandise
@@josiehumble5907 how do you go about that? I donated $100 on the website linked, but didn't see anything about that? I'll donate more in the future, and that would be awesome!
@@bell6dandy564 We have half-a-dozen little granddaughters, and a year ago we gave them a special Christmas Present: the opportunity to name a baby. One of them was reading a book in which a character named Aurora was featured, and so Aurora she is! What a treat!
The look on the babies face when y'all do physical therapy on them is like you told them to just grin and bare it, it will be over soon, the look is so cute, I think most humans have been through it, but we knew why. Lol..I know they need it and God Bless y'all for trying to make these injured babies back to as normal as can be, but unless you saw the video, no one would have any idea what it takes, time, people, money, Wow, to do this job. I praise you all and share your video weekly to get others involved so y'all can get more money..good luck Team, you are ALL AWESOME 👍❤️🙏
The same goes for Yolanda. I don't ever see her wrist getting better, tho I pray it does. Bless all the monkeys, Dave, Connie and the crew who makes this all work. You are handed situations over and over that seem impossible to solve, yet you do it. If I were young and could afford a year off, I'd be there. If I were rich, I'd help with that 7k a month for a while. Keep it up. Love from Llano Ca.
Thank you for another insightful, magnetic video. Ms. Yolanda sure is spirited! Look out, all other monkeys, when she is finally released into a troop. I think she is going to be a force to be reckoned with. 😊It was sweet to see Floki's reaction of delightful anticipation when his seeds appeared. I feel for all he has missed due to human abuse. He is a real trooper in enduring what is necessary to give him his best life. Most wonderful are the medical progress reports! These dear little angels have gone through so much at such a tender young age. To see that they are progressing medically is uplifting.
Its hard to tell for sure with Yolanda to what extent there maybe nerve damage. She could actually just not be using that limb simply because its been immobilized a great deal of the time, and she may have equated using it with pain which would have been the case with the original dislocation and she is not aware that it would not be as painful or painful at all if she did use it. The reason to think that there actually is some nerve damage is that the position of the hand, flexed under, stays that way when it does touch the ground or anything when she tried to climb, and she is not automatically repositioning it to automatically place it flat on the ground with outward flexion. If she was aware of the position her limb/hand is in then the automatic response of her hand would be to adjust so the palm is flat on the surface, or would properly grip whatever touches her palm. Its not rare that a dislocation can damage a nerve, although if its relocated well and in a timely matter permanent damage can be avoided but with a rescued baby its hard to know what the timeline was and if the nerve was pinched or circulation was poor or absent for more than a couple of hours damage could be permanent. She does seem to use her shoulder to keep from knuckle dragging but is not reorienting her palm to a flat position. And of course there is also the risk that relocation of the shoulder could have caught the nerve or pinched part of the nerve plexus since immobilization and no damage you would have noticed movement in her digits, even with the arm mobilized. The only way to really know if she is getting use back and does really know where that lower limb is in space would be to immobilize the good side for a short time and see if that will force her to pay attention and use the damaged side, or if she still seems not to find the fingers, hand and arm usable much at all. If, with the good side immobilized she is forced to use the weaker side at least some then periodically for short periods, immobilizing the good side will force her to do activities with the weaker side as part o routine PT, even if just 5-10 minutes at a time a couple of times during the day. If she cannot be pushed to use it more and realize that the wrist can flex and extend by her own use of it it will become very important to make sure that she is not rubbing sores into the knuckles of that weaker side as it will become more and more something she will drag about about. It could come down to consideration of amputation of the arm or part of it, so its not just being dragged about causing sores and wounds to the hand which, because of that risk, not having an arm at all or a partial amputation is better in the long run as its less likely to be a part that just gets in her way and actually hampers her. Exercise will definitely keep the joint from freezing up and will start getting strength back in the arm but sadly may not due much to over come loss of nerve function. Its neurologically normal that if you put an hand or foot down with the side usually up turned down, the automatic reaction is for the brain to tell the foot or hand (or paw) to flip into a pad or palm or walking surface down, but if it will not flip into its normal position for gross motor skill, such as walking or climbing, or when you position it correctly it wants to flip back into the wrong position you most likely have damage in the nerves somewhere between the hand/wrist or foot/ankle and the brain. Depending on where the damage is in the nerve tree, its possible that you can get some regeneration and possible low level EMS or TENS stimulation may help the nerves more then range of motion alone. One thing that perhaps your maintenance/building people could provide for Floki that we have found helps in early rehabilitation of hips joints in primates is a A-frame ramp that can be adjusted from a very gradual incline/ decline and as he masters using his leg to get him up and down the A-frame ramp it can be adjusted by placement of pegs to support a steeper incline from only a few degrees incline/decline to start with up to a 90 degree incline, at which point he should be climbing well. We built ours between two side pieces with holes drilled in the sides for the pegs that hold the ramp pieces at the angle they are ready to work on and the side pieces are large enough that they prevent jumping off at the top of the incline. It can be a bit bulky but since its a natural drive to go 'up' they are usually happy to have a piece like this to play on.
I thought it was interesting how Pan was teaching Daisy that she didn't want her riding on her back. Every time she tried, Mom sat down. I imagine eventually the baby learns it's pointless to hop on for a ride when it's not going anywhere.
I'm not trying to be negative, I love the care given to these amazing monkeys, but at 36:40, look at Floky's right hip and how it's sticking out. It clearly looks like its still dislocated or broken. When the vet holds it's leg and does big circles in both directions, the only way the monkey can say "THAT HURTS" is by flinching and trying to yank away, and that's exactly what he is doing. When Floki tries to walk, notice how his right foot crosses in front of the left foot and how his knee sticks way out. Floki is still injured and in a lot of pain. I Kno VMF wants us to believe he is improving, but he isn't. My opinion.
When the two young ladies took the two babies to get a check-up the one that had I believe was called Minimax Matt was screaming so badly she could have at least talked to that baby tried to comment down but no all she done was hold onto it and that it, it wouldn't have hurt her to have talked to the little baby to come the baby down
FLOKI is the best! I adore him, and he's such a great babysitter he was in with them, b4 this surgery) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️! I bet he's singing "freedom, ohhhh freedom"! Lol 🤣🤣🤣🐵🐒🐵! Vervets are my favorites; it used to be the Orangutans, but now they've been moved to the back seat! Hehehehe EDIT: Will FLOKI be released into a troop or released into a special area for his needs, or will he actually be kept in with babies to get them used to bigger vervets to help the foster moms bond sooner w/o the baby screaming, scared, and running away???? 🐵🐒🐵🐒
They seem a lot calmer than being in human households. They ALL look healthy. Do you guys have a vet for them? Do you have them spayed and neutered or do they keep reproducing?
Hi! I love your videos very much, and am wondering why there are so many orphan babies in your area? Is it common for there to be so many orphans in the wild?
It's vital we spread the word about VMF as they rely on contributions to keep the foundation going and to expand "The Vervet Forest". Right now they're caring for over 600 monkeys. Tell friends, family, coworkers and people on other wildlife sites to watch this channel and subscribe. I think leaving comments and a "thumbs up" is encouraging for them.
@@honeyowen3163 If I'm not mistaken 600 monkeys is the max amount they are allowed to have under the current agreement with the African Government. So, my question is, what happens when they reach the max amount? If they already have, is there another agreement with the government?
I was wondering how or what you did to keep the milk. I wish a place like this could open in Cambodia. What's going there is heartbreaking with the baby monkey thief's. I couldn't believe that social media allows these videos to be out there! Everyone of them I see pop up... I report it several times. 😭 Some nights worrying about those poor things keeps me up!
Maybe first come first serve like a smorgasbord lol. I think the staff keep a close eye on the milk intake to make sure everyone gets their share. Don't forget to spread the word about VMF to friends, family and coworkers and remind them to subscribe. Other wildlife sites as well because I know it works.
I know it's fantastic to see the babies with new mums, but it's horrible to know how much stress and hard work the volunteers do and the monkeys just don't want to know them or know that they are not a threat to them and without the volunteers who knows what would have become of them or where they would be.
The person narrating the action on the monkeys needs to either speak a little louder or more succinctly. We have a terrible time understanding her. The one that is speaking now second is much easier to understand.
Floki’s milk beards will never get old.
Hello from New Jersey in the good ‘ol U.S.A. and a big hug for Uncle Floki •••••••••!!!!!!!!!! Xxxxxxxxxx Hang in there Floki we love ❤️ you !!!

When the two young ladies took the two babies to get a check-up the one that had I believe was called Minimax Matt was screaming so badly she could have at least talked to that baby tried to comment down but no all she done was hold onto it and that it, it wouldn't have hurt her to have talked to the little baby to come the baby down
FLOKI is the best! I adore him, and he's such a great babysitter he was in with them, b4 this surgery) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️! I bet he's singing "freedom, ohhhh freedom"! Lol 🤣🤣🤣🐵🐒🐵! Vervets are my favorites; it used to be the Orangutans, but now they've been moved to the back seat! Hehehehe EDIT: Will FLOKI be released into a troop or released into a special area for his needs, or will he actually be kept in with babies to get them used to bigger vervets to help the foster moms bond sooner w/o the baby screaming, scared, and running away???? 🐵🐒🐵🐒
I wish the foster moms could produce milk.
Now theres aname I haven’t heard in a, long time sky king was the name of a Saturday morning TV shows back in the 60s

They seem a lot calmer than being in human households. They ALL look healthy. Do you guys have a vet for them? Do you have them spayed and neutered or do they keep reproducing?
They vasectomize the males.
Hi! I love your videos very much, and am wondering why there are so many orphan babies in your area? Is it common for there to be so many orphans in the wild?
its not only our area it's throughout South Africa, unfortunately, people are intolerant towards wildlife, and we have a problem with ownership
BAby monkeys need milk every 2 hours. I hope they have milk, water and very soft fruit.
What happens when you reach the maximum number of monkeys you can have at the foundation?
It's vital we spread the word about VMF as they rely on contributions to keep the foundation going and to expand "The Vervet Forest". Right now they're caring for over 600 monkeys. Tell friends, family, coworkers and people on other wildlife sites to watch this channel and subscribe. I think leaving comments and a "thumbs up" is encouraging for them.
@@honeyowen3163 If I'm not mistaken 600 monkeys is the max amount they are allowed to have under the current agreement with the African Government. So, my question is, what happens when they reach the max amount? If they already have, is there another agreement with the government?
IVE WANTED A MONKEY SINCE I WAS ALITTLE KID!
well I hope you realise now that its not the right thing to do
How can u guys find the monkey's to check on them thats a huge forest
I was wondering how or what you did to keep the milk. I wish a place like this could open in Cambodia.
What's going there is heartbreaking with the baby monkey thief's. I couldn't believe that social media allows these videos to be out there! Everyone of them I see pop up... I report it several times. 😭
Some nights worrying about those poor things keeps me up!
I have a question, how do the babies know which bottle is theirs in the feeding cage in Disneyland?
Maybe first come first serve like a smorgasbord lol. I think the staff keep a close eye on the milk intake to make sure everyone gets their share. Don't forget to spread the word about VMF to friends, family and coworkers and remind them to subscribe. Other wildlife sites as well because I know it works.
I know it's fantastic to see the babies with new mums, but it's horrible to know how much stress and hard work the volunteers do and the monkeys just don't want to know them or know that they are not a threat to them and without the volunteers who knows what would have become of them or where they would be.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
That chewing action is why tame mammas will beat their babies. Very painful. Frozen freezies would be perfect help
Why cant they attach milk bottles to hang on the cages? Id love to raise one or 2. I guess 2 so they can be friends. No more lonliness.
Josie you are wonderful josie you are Daves Sister?
No, Josie is a kind soul that has dedicated her life to the wellbeing of animals and is the co-director of the foundation
The person narrating the action on the monkeys needs to either speak a little louder or more succinctly. We have a terrible time understanding her. The one that is speaking now second is much easier to understand.
That beautiful baby. Is not a baby.
no its a monkey
omg can that girl be any slower at putting on bandages poor thing wants to run around lol
demande de la langue française
Why so many orphans. I know you arent out killing the moms so who is?
