An Alpha Female Kidnaps Son of Lower Status Macaque 

Thank you, I was so anxious about the baby !

thanks

Good thanks!

After Sarah take away again the baby and never return.

Whew. Good. Thanks. I was so full of angst after the video cuts off, yellin at the screen "give her her baby back!!" Glad to hear she eventually did.

Ur white and basic we get it

The Passu88..Lol!

Also more gag inducing! They were digging at lice the whole video 🤢🤮

@PannsApprentice pfft he’s right

Concur! Watching anything is more interesting than watching them!

At what point she got him back? I've watched the whole video, haven't seen she got him back?

@@patriciasanches9545 In the full documentary it shows that she got him back

Not typical behaviour for this species of macaque.

Helpo comes to mind as the poster child of Macaque kidnapping tendencies...

Your like..Ho Hum 😂

@@cameronmalchow1837 not typical in any macaque. This dude is out hunting monkey abuse channels so to him it's confirmation but it is very rare to see them die especially if their mother is alive. What this guy doesn't know or understand is those videos coming out of Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia those videos are very very extenuating circumstances. First off, these videographers who run the channel they have major skin in the game. They run this monkey scam where they are like farmers of monkeys. They have huge networks of people who raise and breed macaques. They're also some stealing from the wild too and they reintroduce the babies to other communities after hand raising them, bathing them incessantly, making them wear diapers, and making them fight for food. Then they take them all from age just born to adult getting ready to die and they make them actors in some natural setting. They abandon all these monkeys and absolute chaos ensues and luckily they are their to record it. They are also feeding these troops to the point that some of them (sweetpea) were so big they couldn't do anything but barely get around. I'm talking weighing 60 pounds when they should weigh 20 at their age... so in those circumstances also female adults live longer than normal and have more babies than normal because of the food security then they have babies and go crazy or die then there is a live infant running around. Sometimes someone too young assumes the responsibility and aren't capable of meeting the needs of a newborn. Now that I've seriously thought about it, I've never seen a kidnapping (which is technically called aunting) turn into a death if the baby has a mother....

Good! I hope they all get kidnapped

These are previews for their series, how many times does this have to be said??

THIS IS A TEASER. its to TEASE you into PURCHASING the episode.

This is where you google the hell out of this and someone eventually links you to what happened. Usually works for their airplane disaster vids. You didn’t think they would give you this for free when they can get ppl who use cable/satellite/internet subscriptions/purchases to pay for it.

Because it would destroy their fake narrative. They imagine the most dramatic story given what the money's give them to put in a video. For example, the story is the baby is kidnapped, well, no it wasn't. If this video ran just a little longer, it would show the.mother gets the baby back. They tried this same stunt on another video claiming the alphas eat the found fruit first, then the females, but there was this pathetic, the lowest mother monkey who couldn't eat if the fruit Because of her lowly status, therefor she at bug's and grass. Bologna. She ate the fruit right after the camera cuts off

​@@5jjtlmao come on

Great footage is when they throw the little rats off the top Of tall trees

The Smithsonian is just as corrupt as the gov’t is & deliberately withhold truth from the public regardless of subject matter!!

the link is in the description box dude!

David Crispin This is a good point lol.

well, guess what? great apes are animals, and those great apes are consists of: gorilla, orangutan, chimp, and human. so yeah, you're also animal

What's wrong with that? Its more interesting than many human lives I can tell you that.... Even mines. ☝🙆😆 besides humans do this too many times, so I guess u can say we R being animals too right? Just without the "narrating".

No

Tom Nguyen ☹️

Yes, she does.

yes

Yes she sure does.

The kidnapper will make the decision whether to let the offspring return to its mom. The kidnapper is high ranking.

Except it’s not normal behavior and the narrator from Smithsonian in the video who surely is more educated on this subjected than you stated that it is not normal or typical macaque behavior. Lol.

High rank macaque’s will kidnap and starve low rank infants. In an attempt to keep low rank Infant population low. To try and ensure the survival of their own offspring!

It does happen a lot actually. And no the baby doesn't make the decision to go eat. If the baby starts hooting for it's mom too much it will get attacked physically by the kidnapper (who quite possibly could be a family member and/or male) however, sadly, quite a bit will starve to death. It's a big deal in the Macaque world.😢

No

You can watch the ververt forest foundation on RU-vid, or nature life monkey on RU-vid.

Probably

She got it back. The kidnapper lost interest in her toy.

Child returned. Alpha female lost interest.

I wunder the same

It's rare for this species of macaques, not all species. They weren't speaking about other species, just Toque Macaques. Every species is different and yes there are other species where kidnapping is super common. Maybe next time actually pay attention and listen to what they say.

Omg I hate when they do that

It's a teaser you ignoramus.

The mother got the kid back.

@@nepadron NICE, is that how you speak to everyone? Did your mama not teach you some manners? Who do you think you are to talk to anyone in that manner? Maybe your parents should have paid for you to attend an etiquette course. Rude, disrespectful individual. 🙄🤨😯

Pretty sure

That it didn't YEET

Yes.

Kidnapping is actually very common among macaques. Happens when females are soo desperate to display maternal instincts that they will take a baby of lower ranked females just to feel motherly. Many times tho, the kidnappings go wrong and baby dies of malnutrition/starvation since kidnapper doesn't have milk to keep baby alive. Newborns can only go a few days without milk or they will die.

i know for sure that barbary macaques use the infants as a social tool and are alot more lenient with fellow monkeys "aunting", much moreso than longtails, pigtails, and japanese macaques, is this also true for toques? their doesnt seem to be alot of information or videos on this species, at least nowhere near as much as the others

@@metalbutton4956 but not THIS particular species, they VERY RARELY kidnap infants within the group.

LOL

9 times out of 10 the baby is let go.

Lil Jgil not in toque macaques
