    Thank you so much for bringing us late comers to your channel with who the players are in your videos. I love your channel, and I love your voice, it is so calm and soothing. Your videos are so beautiful and so natural. You don't gloss over the bad or good mothers. Just like humans, they all have personalities from good to bad. I will continue to watch and enjoy your videos. My family laughs at me when I tell them some of the monkey stories, but I find it soothing. ♥♥

    Loved all those first babies. Dopey and Knotty are still my favorite babies of all time. Dopey first with his clumsy adorableness and later with his wicked smart attitude. And poor Knotty, the little unloved baby always looking for his neglectful Mom. Both boys grew up to be handsome young monkeys. ❤

    I remember being doubtful that Baty would survive...it was lucky for him that Dolly was a seasoned mum who knew just what to do for him.
    It's hard to believe that our Lily is already 8 yrs. old!
    I hadn't remembered that Haggy was also a plucker. Nony had such a sweet baby face.
    There were so many things about Dopey that endeared him to all of us, plus we fell in love with Reddy then, too.
    Knotty was the baby who broke my heart. No matter how much attention he got from babysitters, all he ever wanted was his mother's love. I'll never forget how, at times, he actually seemed to fear Gypsy once weaning began. All the other babies would be enjoying tea time, but all he could do was stare longingly at Gypsy, not daring to get too close. She could, and did, deliver some truly punishing bites.

    @Mr AM, do you live in such a crazy taaaall high-rise? I read that the tallest building in HK is 484 m (1,587.9 ft). The tallest in Sweden is a new building called 'The Karla Tower' in Gothenburg, and it reaches a modest 247 m (810 ft). Our citys usually doesn't have real high-rise buildings.
    Anyways, so happy y'all have Monkey Hill (and the company of all of our furry cousins 🐒) as a green getaway.

    In defense to Gyspy, her babies were given lots of love. They had very loving caretakers (aunts). It's not like they were suffering abuse or starvation. She did nurse them and did the best she could. She is the lowest ranking member. If her kids were ever in any scuffle she would jump from the background to defend her offspring. She was there when they needed her and she took a lot of heat for her kids and her rank. Look at how many (aunty) macaques that have been fixed and would have never get to experience motherhood or taking care of a baby if it wasn't for Gyspy...
    She is unique in her own way and she has a really loving family. If other troops had a Gyspy maybe kidnapping wouldn't be so deadly. Most dislike Bo because of her longing for a baby. You never see a comment in her favor. By most, Gyspy is labled a neglectful mother. To some, Gyspy is a blessing in disquise.
