Great video love seeing all the new babies and seeing the boy band which do all look very good. I'm so happy Bubby has new baby she definitely looks great being a mom. And I think it's safe to say that Emily is the mother of the year , she is a first time mother raising 2 babies. And she is doing an,amazing job. If we handed out medals 🏅 it would go to sweet Emily
Bubbly sought out other mums last year. She seems to be doing that again. It’s like she wants her baby to have a lot of playmates. Her baby is cutest thus far.
They've got a regular Mommy & Me group going on there. Every once in a while A.M. will film a group of mothers and their babies gathering in one spot as if the moms are comparing notes.
@@hollisblinn7910 I have seen some of those moments. But Bubbky is part of the royal family, she has been a bit of a bully/brat, so to see her mingling with other mums & not care about ranking is truly impressive. It will be interesting to see Bubbly be a mum. Btw, Bessy continued being a brat after she started having babies.
I just love to hear you narrating you have a wonderful voice and tell story so beautifully about these precious.and beautiful monkeys I'm amazed that you know their names and families so well nice video love from USA ❤
AM pays for his narration, with that being said his voice is melodic and suits the narrative. I have been watching for many moons and sometimes I pick a Playlist and start from the beginning and have it playing all day.
So many cute and adorable babies and they are so active and alert. That was nice of the one mom to care for a extra baby, I hope it gets fed because the other baby sure has it's arms stretch out to not let him in there to nurse. ❤
Its really amazing how well and how big Our Troop is doing again this year. So many of the babies I watched grow have babies and a couple of their kids have kids now. I love this troop so much and this years babies are so on track or even advanced in their mile markers.
Definitely but it’s a necessary change for them to be able to mature. And soon enough they’ll be getting attention again from their moms and not just the aunts who like to stay back to babysit. One thing I’ve noticed is that no child is ever forgotten about. Everyone gets the attention they need one way or another.
It must be hard on them as they're not the centre of attention anymore. Most, just weaned and now can't even get cuddles from mom or siblings as all attention is on new baby.
Awww. No feeders for our gang? Skull head troop always get delicious goodies. Would like to see Bossy's troop getting some wonderful fruits and not just stale bread. They are probably there when AM isn't. As long as our gang can secure a spot. Good to see Emily with her 2 babies. Though Emily is looking a bit thin.
FYI if any of you also like baby Orangutans there is a lovely channel about an orphan Orangutan school in Indonesia. The BOS facility which is featured in the Love Nature: Kids UA-cam. It covers how they prepare the orphans to move out into the wild.
Yes. Also Monkey Life channel covers Monkey World in Dorset, England. A sanctuary rescue center for all things Monkey. Biggest in the world. Great channel.
I've followed the facility a long time even before the BOS became a part of it. Nyaru Menteng Orangutan center was started by Lone Droscher Nielsen (a Danish woman) and now one of the partners run it, BOS. Lone is retired. I adopted an Orangutan who's name is Hope. She was so little when I adopted her and now she's eight years old and she's a member of Forest School group 5. Hope is one remarkable young lady and I always looking forward to hear news about her. I really recommend adopting from Nyaru Menteng. There are Organisations (among them BOS) in for example USA, Australia, UK, Sweden, Denmark and the rest of Europe that helps you with the adoption if you're interested. 🤓🇸🇪
Thanks, @Mr AM! 🥰 Love these furry bundles of joy 💝😂 All the babies are looking healthy (knock on wood) and lively! We may even see the number increase as time goes on, who knows? The twins are looking alright to me, hopefully they will make it until the can start feeding themselves 💝 Anyways, Emily is doing a fab job so far! 🐵🐒🐒 🇸🇪
U are so right. She does have a porcelain little face. I just love both Poppy and bubby's babies. I can't think which is more precious. I don't think I can choose. Y with all the baby's that have been born in "Our Gang" so far haven't gotten any names? Anybody know?
I will never understand why y’all pine over the babies when the yearlings are way more fun!!! Adults too. The whole troop dynamic fascinates me far beyond the babies.
Bossy looks so old, always lying around. I hope she can skip a year to save her energy. If she dies, will one daughter become matriarch or might other troop members try to overthrow Bossy's kids?
🐒 Sometimes when I see one of the babies for the first time, a name pops into my head. This doesn’t happen with every baby I see on Monkey Hill. Just once in a while. I realize that I don’t have anything to do with what name they get, and the fact that I’m sure the babies have been named by now. But I can’t help it. Of course I don’t use the name that pops into my head. I get confused enough already 😆. When I saw Poppy’s baby, the name that came to me was “Puddles”. She is a gorgeous baby girl ♥️
Name suggestions for Gypsy's girl: Kathey, Kaity, Kerry, Kacey Suggestions for Lancy,'s girl: Lainey, Lassie, Leeley, Lovey, Libby, Lucky Haven't seen Bessy in awhile. I hope she's OK and expecting.
Emily's male "twin" is looking dehydrated in the skin of his face & hands. Emily is thinner. They weren't designed to nurse more than one. He is suffering for it. I can't remember & will have to go back & review the video - was the male her natural born? Is she favoring the female adoptee over her own son?
It’s just a little bit longer before the can take some solid food. Hopefully they can hang in there. She really loves them, seems like she doing a great job!
They could be in the earlier stages of pregnancy. Some don't deliver until August. I know that's rare, but it could happen if they didn't conceive until the latter part of breeding season.
Are you taking any name suggestions? Gypsy: Kassidy Bubby: Binky as bubby means baby and binky means pacifier/dummy or some other baby slang. A nice S name if there will be a girl: Sofy (like Sophie) Nataly: Harmony
I sure hope Gypsy's girl survives this time. Her track record has been iffy, at best, these past few years. She's not exactly a doting mother with her babies.😢
@@amandachandler1852Gypsy's style of mothering seems to range from plucking her babies bald to almost complete disinterest. She does limit their time at the milk bar, but not to the point of starvation. She's been known to become quite irritable and even downright cruel. Shortly before baby Kailey disappeared, Gypsy had bitten her one hand to the bone. She used to bite the hell out of Knotty's hands, too, whenever he was begging her for milk. Gypsy is just not kid-friendly.
No one knows where Kailey got that wound. It's only speculations because mother's often nip/bite their babies when they're out of order but never before has Gypsy bitten one of her kids that bad as we know. Remember really low ranking Kailey raised in status when she became on of Grandees girls. The girls who followed Grande everywhere. It could even had been Grandee who was the reason she had that wound. Sometimes the girls made him irritated or it could even have been anyone else who didn't like Kailey's status change. We don't even know if it was a wound made by a bite that's also speculation on our part. 🤓🇸🇪
@@ML_SE I think we can be at least 90% certain how Kailey got that bite on her hand. If you've watched every video since the beginning, as I have, then you would have seen several examples of Gypsy cruelly biting her babies.
@@hollisblinn7910 I have watch all videos more than once and yes Gypsy bites her kids hands but she's far from being there only one doing it. I think most of the female monkeys and some of three males in HK do it and have we seen anyone (including Gypsy) ever bitten their child so hard it break skin? I haven't. If you don't like Gypsy I think it's easy to blame her as so many blamed Tina because her babies died before we knew why. Gypsy isn't the best mother in the hood but not the worst either. It could have been Gypsy but there's no tendency from her biting so hard. A finger can get hurt in so many ways so blaming someone when we don't know the truth isn't fair and shouldn't be done among humans or humans towards animals, ever. 🤓🇸🇪
Boys take it the hardest when mom has a new baby. Girls are more curious about new babies. Kinda funny to think there are some momma boy monkeys out there. You have to feel bad for the little guys anyway! It must be so confusing for them.
He didn't need to find them because he already knew where they were😁. He had a display because mum didn't have all her time of the day to him anymore. That's for his little sibling. 🤓🇸🇪
Thru males and this time Natalie's baby could be one of Gypsy's sons baby. If I remember correctly AM said ones that Nataly mated with one or two of Gypsy's boys. 🤓🇸🇪
Watching the babies gaze up and imprint on their Mothers’ faces is one of the most heart warming things ever. ❤
That is my favorite also!💖
The babies are looking healthy, active and just so cute! Thanks AM!
Poppy is a beautiful mom, looks lIke a teddy bear. Not surprised she had such a gorgeous baby. Those eyes are magical.
Poppys baby is definitely gonna be one of the cutest babies this season for sure. Love how big those pretty eyes are
Indeed!
I haven't seen poppys baby yet, I'm looking forward to the cuteness... having a bad day but they beautiful creatures always make my day better
So far, Bubby's baby is looking healthy and active.....fingers crossed!
Mum Bossy also looks very pregnant.
Poor old Bossy needs break. She looks run down. A baby might lift her spirits though after the loss of her boy and Becky.
Nataly’s baby has the most interesting curling ears❣️
Bubbly ‘s baby is just gorgeous 🥰
She looks pregnant to you? Guess I need a better look...

Bossy is doing Pilates 🤣🤣🤣
Airing out her butt lol

Job! I will pray for this baby❤ along with Tina's
I will never understand why y’all pine over the babies when the yearlings are way more fun!!! Adults too. The whole troop dynamic fascinates me far beyond the babies.
I enjoy both. But adults may pass hours on end either foraging or grooming each other, and not much else happening 😅
My favourites are the yearlings and juveniles but I also like the older ones.
🤓🇸🇪
@@ML_SE Hey M.L.!
I like them all
It's also fun to see the Mum and older siblings with the babies. The family dynamics.
Poppy’s baby should be called Pixie. She has adorable pointy ears
I like that name! Pixy since all Our Gang names end in “y”.
*@Mr. AM* , Please make sure the feeders take extra special care of Emily & her babies!!
46:01 yep, you’re right about Gypsie’s relation- the baby does look like she wants to dump something on a friend and take a vacation.

Hello AM. Do you know what happened to Taggy.. You didn't have any video on him.
Gypsy is already ripping out her baby's fur. Hopefully, this baby has better luck than Kailey, Koby and Kiddy. She gets to stay in the troop too.
More name suggestions😅: Kristy for Gypsy baby, Bibi for Bubbys, and Natty or Nessely for Natalys :)
AM might go with another H name for Nataly's baby like big brother Huey.
Name suggestions for Gypsy's girl: Kathey, Kaity, Kerry, Kacey
Suggestions for Lancy,'s girl: Lainey, Lassie, Leeley, Lovey, Libby, Lucky
Haven't seen Bessy in awhile. I hope she's OK and expecting.
I like lucky
Kaity would be nice as it is part of Kailey's name.
There's already a Libby, isn't there? And Lassie reminds me of the collie show however, you've come up with some great suggestions!! 💜
Bossy looks so old and worn out now 😔

I assume the feeders are giving her more. Hopefully, they will make it. It is more hazardous to carry two also.
Ridgy's and Grandee's offspring ❤
No babies reddy or dimpy ? So happy for Ridgys and Grandes's family
They could be in the earlier stages of pregnancy. Some don't deliver until August. I know that's rare, but it could happen if they didn't conceive until the latter part of breeding season.
Poppy's girl is sooo cute. Just like Fifi girl
Why is the cage dangerous? And what's the purpose of it?
Dipsy is in that awkward stage. Hopefully it improves
Are you taking any name suggestions?
Gypsy: Kassidy
Bubby: Binky as bubby means baby and binky means pacifier/dummy or some other baby slang.
A nice S name if there will be a girl: Sofy (like Sophie)
Nataly: Harmony
NAMES…this may sound strange but my name for Nataly’s girl is…HOTTY!
“H” for the Haggy clan & “otty” for the strong resemblance to Knotty. 🐒😎
