Vervet Monkey Foundation I'm always surprised the babies are not more wild. Maybe they are at first?
@@GothicaBeauty u
Mary G eh? If you got something to say then spit it out!
Please, who do we contact about abuses in Cambodia of these beautiful animals? These monkeys are in mortal danger there. Can you please look into this. They are killing mothers and taking babies.
Look after some orphan humans. Let the monkeys b in wild. Nature will take care of these monkeys
Some of the babies in this video are very tiny - I love them all and wish them a good foster mom!
How can anyone with heart not fall in love with these precious little babies. I love them and GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU
Your whole concept impresses me - you care so very well of all this little orphans - THANKS - and thanks for this video!
Their chortling is adorable. Thank you.
What you do is amazing and wonderful. God bless you. ❤🐒
I love how Groot throws little temper fits its comical
I'm a newcomer, and I'm hooked. I have decided to start with Season 1 ep 1, to get the full story of these babies. It is such a beautiful, ambitious project you guys are taking on here. I'm not in a position to donate, but I will definitely watch the commercials. Thank you for sharing!
These little guys are just fabulous and you guys are just wonderful for your dedication! Bless all of you for your great works!
Dude, autoplay brought me to a few of your older videos and I liked them so much, I had to start from the beginning. Thanks. Very enlightening.
Edit I shoulda said 'Newer Videos'...
Genna Cyde Nice! Glad to hear it 😊 thank you.
Oh wow! Thank you guys for all things you're doing
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
This is just lovely to watch. The babies are in safe hands. The wee one being microchipped was not inthe least fased by it 😁
haha thanks! Yeah, I'm always impressed by how tough they are. They're the best.
What did I do to my self I’m officially addicted to these videos lol
It's so good to go back and rewatch these videos. :-D I love playing them while at work or while I'm cooking. So awesome!
Judith McNease ☺️
These monkeys are beautiful and the babies are adorable! Why could they think that such beautiful creatures could be vermin is beyond me! I love everything you and the others are doing here - God bless you all for the care and time and devotion you put into saving these precious primates!!
Tammy Sutton thanks Tammy. The psychology of it all is fascinating. We humans have a strange way of showing appreciation for this beautiful world 🤷♂️ I’m glad you’re enjoying the show and loving the monkeys ☺️ thanks for the comment 💚
Groot my favorite love what all of u do #ILOVEMONKEYS#
Stormy Martin thanks!
Can you do a video on the mom's stories? What makes them want to adopt babies rather than mating? Please forgive me if ive missed it in a video already! :)
Sweet babies ❤. I enjoy Dave's narrations as the babies explore and tells all that is going on at the foundation. Thanks. I look forward to every video or short that is posted. It was good to see Natsuki growing up gorgeous.
Best best best video yet! Thank you for the update! 💕💕💕
I live in South Africa. I love them and dont consider them vermin at all. In fact. I think very few people do. They are adorable plse dont generalize
Oh my heart just melts seeing that adorable play face. Oh my goodness.🙈🙉🙊❤
How can anyone hate them ...?? Wow , words cannot express. ....
So glad I came across this one. So glad this organization is there to save the monkeys.❤
absolutely love these videos...4th time watching
Merci, Kyle! I love your videos. Thank you and bless you...
Glad you like them!
Been here a few weeks, decided to try to catch-up while follow recents
This is wonderful. ❤
Those baby monkeys are so cute I could watch this every day💕💕💕💕💕👍👍
QaibNC Thoj 😊

Wonderful work your doing!
This was great, thanks for making this series!
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it. There are many more to come. :)
Vervet Monkey Foundation
I couldn't figure out where the ads were on your pages...(Yeah, I know)...My deficient behind had to get the kids to disable adblock, or what ever they did...Happily, I get to watch these videos again and maybe help you make some $. These babies are worth it. Later...
Genna Cyde 😁❤️
I've never seen the early episodes. I love y'all for doing what you do to make sure they are taught how to behave like a monkey. AWESOMENESS❣🙏🙏🙏😊❣💗
Why is everyone in South Africa not in love with these precious cuties.
Lachanda Alexander that is the biggest mystery of all.
Groot is so darn sweet and cute!
I just read what I wrote before and had to deleted. I don't think what I wrote was ment for this video. This monkeys are adorable !!!!
Ok, I'm hooked, I've watched monkey videos for a few months now, since I'm tired of regular TV, and people, ha ha.... and these kept coming up in my suggested videos. I watched a couple and am starting over at episode 1. How amazing that they can eat solid food so young, and amazing how great of a job you all are doing. I may not have enough money to buy much, but I can definitely share your videos. Thank you for what your doing to help them, and thank you for making videos that help me keep from trying to get my monkey-fix by adopting one as a pet, ugh, that would be a mistake for everyone involved, ha ha. So good luck! SUBSCRIBING!
ahahha, well thank you for watching! I'm glad to hear that we can help you out and I'm even more excited that you've decided to watch through the whole season! I hope you love it :), I think you'll find all sorts of interesting info in the episodes. Please do share and tell your friends and I'm glad we're helping to kick that itch for a monkey pet. Keep em wild and we'll all be happiest in the end 😊.
Maybe a strange question, and I understand if you don't really have an answer, but out of curiosity, what stopped you from watching the videos before when they were showing up in your suggested feed? Was it the thumbnails? The description? Or nothing in particular?
-Kyle
Oh, lol, I didn't watch the videos because for a while I didn't like how Vervets looked, the babies looked like weird little aliens and I didn't think their faces were very expressive. I was kinda hooked on the long tailed macaques in Cambodia and how closely their faces seemed to resemble ours. But as I've grown used to their expressions, I can now recognize expressions on the vervets and have gained appreciation for their demeanor, if that makes sense. Your commentary on the videos has helped me see what they are trying to do, and feeling, all that stuff I wouldn't notice on my own. Another reason was that I thought the videos, just from the thumbnails, looked very polished (which is good) but I was more, at that time, interested in more candid footage... but yours IS candid, you just have awesome cameras. I'm actually contemplating looking into vacationing in your area and possibly visiting, but that might be a ways off into the future. Big hugs, big vervet hugs, and thank you for sharing your work with the world.
LOL. They totally look like little aliens, you are quite right there. Cute little Benjamin Button aliens lol.
Totally makes sense, it takes a little while to get used to reading any animals behavior and understanding what they're thinking. Awesome. I'm glad the commentary helped!
Hahaha, that's interesting about the thumbnails and the desire for more candid. I never thought about that. That's really solid feedback, thank you.
You should definitely come visit if you can. It's a wonderful place and a beautiful country.
Thank you so much for your honesty and interest!
Chickens Don't Surf I’m with you. I am so addicted to watching these videos of these little babies. They are so cute. I just love them. Thank you for all you do and for the videos.

Hey Brother Kyle listen are you guys looking for some extra help with the little guys I'm crippled now and I'm stuck in a wheelchair but I am awesome with animals.God I never wanted a little buddy more in my life and I have nothing but love and time for these little ones I really love these little guys
as you were not crippled all your life nor are these babies, but their lives would now become the opposite of yours as their future would be crippled by the cage they would need to live in for the rest of their lives for something you had created not them, how long do you think they stay small like that, as you wish you could walk around they would always wish they could be in the forest with their own kind
Kyle, I like ur short hair and no beard! Looking good Kyle.
lol, thanks :)
💕💖❤️😍
How bog does vervet monkey get, ate they the same size as a squirrel monkey or capuchins???
How are you different from Bambelela? I am volunteering there next month!
They really need a mom
How do u go about fostering a baby Vervet or even adopting
Ho annullato xche' non c'è traduzione. Non si capisce niente
Do you ever worry about running out of Moms that want to adopt the babies? Or just running out of moms all together? Sorry if these are stupid questions. But I've seen the "wild" ones that hang around like what's her name "skinny minnie Jr. & Jr. Jr."? Where do they come from? Ok I'll stop I could ask enough questions to fill a book. But I'll save some for another video. ( ͡^ ͜ʖ ͡^) ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 🐒🐵🙈🙉🙊🍌🍏🍎🍇🍓🍊🍒🍍🍑🍍🍉 sorry but this is the only food I can afford to send, I'm sorry to say. 😢😥😪😓😭🤓🤑 Otherwise keep up the great work that you all do.
Terri Harris I would like to add to your comment by asking if you ever let the foster mothers go back in the wild or do you keep them indefinitely as fosters because of it being difficult to find loving foster moms? If it’s working out with these foster moms, then why change, right?
Vervets are like us, just because they're a foster mom doesn't mean thats all they do. The babies they adopt are part of their family, so we would never separate the troop or the families within the troop. Our goal is to release all the troops back into the wild. But because people here hate the Vervets, there is no where we can release them without them being in danger of human wildlife conflict. Our ultimate goal is to raise about a million dollars so that we can purchase land and create a thousand acre wildlife reserve that will act as a release site for all the monkeys in our care. But when we do release them we will only release them as a complete troop because that is the only way they would be able to survive back in the wild.
miss you Kyle!
We have been watching this for weeks now and are considering coming out to volunteer are you still in need of any help wether it is helping with enclosures or care for the monkeys we will do it all!
Always, volunteers are how the sanctuary survives.

Where in SA are u.In what city?
We are not in a city. We are in the bush in the Limpopo province near a town called Tzaneen. Its easy to find us if you search for us on google maps.
I envy you working ... I love monkeys and I would like to help ... but I don't speak English well ... now I use a GOGL translator ... I live in POLAND ... Greetings
I suppose if ones entire life is based on crops and ‘if’ the monkeys were destructive it would risk such a view, but vermin? (Assuming crop issue, why else vermin unless destructive to homes or else). Wow, hardly anything compared to a rat. If only a way to cohabitate without man having to dine them destructive or a nuisance. Poor lil guys and girls, just want to be with their kind.
Are those the only kind of monkeys that there are in South Africa?
Going back to the very first time you have wanted poster mom's to help the monkeys how did you get the monkeys to want to adopt the babies
it came naturally the problem was how to get them milk
Kyle I adopt one and help support the rest
Sous titres en français please !!! Many people in the world don’t speak fluently english ! Thank.s
Can u foster them and bring them home with you?
Lol South Africa’s version of squirrels
Why do they try to get rid of this species of monkey ?
Kyle I want groot
sure you do, he now weighs in at 5.2kg and has canines the length of your thumb, will rip you a part in a blink of an eye, what you going to do put him in a metal cage and stare at him the whole day as there is no way you would let him out, I can promise you that
Even as new born they kind of blame you for their inabilities
And I wonder who is killing the vervets.
Robert H.
???
You are so waisting time and money on these abundant animals. Why rescue them when there are so many! And yes, I am South African.
And yes, they ARE vermin.
