It always cracks me up when the nursing babies hold the teat in the side of their mouth it reminds me of the old Penguin (Burgess Meredith) from the 60's Batman
Thank you AM for more updates. I am really worried about Bubby's newborn It seems to nursing but no bouncing around as babies typically are doing by this age. Maybe the baby was born a little premature and is just catching up. Again thank you for such enjoyable videos.
The feeders must be aware of the situation and will likely do their best to distribute food to the smaller troops. They definitely have their work cut out for them.
I don't think they leave the parking lot by free will because they have their dedicated feeders and all lazy people don't go any further up and they feed them. It could be a change in dedicated feeders or they have become so big troop they have to spread out as much as they can I'm subgroups like the one Ameia belongs too. It's me. I have some difficulties understanding when people make jokes. Not always but it's more difficult over text. 🤓🇸🇪
Hello everyone @Monkey Hill! As usually I’m late and watching and enjoying late at night in Los Angeles. Thank you so much AM for all the great videos. I’m always so grateful for them. All the babies are gorgeous, especially Gaffy. What a cutie he is. Thank you for doing what you can for them. God bless you always.
"There's the Hamper man!!!! Where are the goodies??? We can't expect Uncle AM to lug around tons of food for us. We will have to buy him a push cart." Monkeys get together & count their change!😆
I also just watched AM's viedio about Bubby and her new baby and i pray she/he will be alright. Also at the beginning of the viedio i was so worrid about Gypsy's baby as well. I never was so happy when he started getting up and looking around.
Nope they're not totally dependent on hands out. There are about 1800 monkeys and the majority of them we never sees because they stay in the forest. All monkeys forage even those who get fed by us humans. 🤓🇸🇪
@@ML_SE. Thanks for clearing that up for me. But that still doesn't change the fact that they are crying, begging for food . Won't catch a wild monkey sounding this pitiful for human handouts
@@foolishpleasure5856 They are like us humans. Taking the easy route. It's easier to get handouts but the main reason is they all prefer different food than leaves. They get a taste for certain food items like we do. That's why feeding them fast food or sugary items is so bad. They can get diabetes like us. 🤓🇸🇪
I just watched AM's video from a day ago. About the various troops that are being pushed out by the "Car Park Troop" on Golden Hill road. When I saw Annie's Troop, which I haven't seen in ages, I was surprised at how thin they looked. My heart broke hearing all their cries. I also felt so bad about " Nora's Troop" being pushed out. I always thought that her troop was considered one of the larger troops. I feel so sad that things will eventually become worse, regarding the change in which troops will get more attention and food than others. I know some of the troops are harder to fine, but I pray the feeder's will be able to get food as well.
Yeah, they will think of something. They seems to do a good job of making sure that everyone gets fed. Just need to figure out a way to get food to the smaller troops.
9:19 why do other monkeys always touch a baby’s genitals? I notice it most with boys whose privates respond as is natural when stimulated. Obviously this behavior is frowned upon (quite allot) among humans, but wondered if anybody knew of a scientific reason that monkeys seem unable to resist the urge to grab.
Yeah they want food and they're also jealous about their newborn baby siblings suddenly showing up (being born) amd taking all of mamma's milk and attention... then they try to poke their head into what their mom and sibling are doing and the mamma whacks, attacks and charges the yearling.
@@jtzoltan Oh right. Thanks for that lol. Can be difficult for little ones to adjust to such a sudden change, I suppose. A situation human babies are all too familiar with.
@@jtzoltan could be, but so many of them, especially the yearlings look exactly the same to me. The infants can be identified by who their mother is, I guess, and many of the mothers have identifiable features. Keeping the family trees straightened out must be really difficult too. He does an amazing job.
Never click on any video where the monkey is dressed in human clothing or videos claiming monkey rescue. These videos are of baby monkeys being tortured. It's horrible and inhumane. In the end, they are tortured to death. They are ultimately killed.
Sadly, these creatures rely way too much on humans. They breed out of control when food is plentiful. What happens next global monetary crash and people can not afford to feed them? Personally I wished people didn't feed them. It taints any real study of these creatures. But after watching this video you would have to be a course individual to not feel some compassion for the little ones and the mother's with worried looks in their faces.
I agree, too much supplementing with hand outs simulates a bounty of natural resources that causes an increase in reproduction with more females having a newborn every year and females becoming fertile at a younger age with a larger percentage of survival time adulthood. All troops have a rapid increase in size. The problem with that is there is less focus on honing of foraging skills all leading to an increased reliance on human hand outs. It all turns out bad if something abruptly changes the amount of food supplemented.
It doesn't matter how much food they get from us humans they will always remember how to forage. No one really knows how much fruit and berries growing in the forest but it's less than we think. It wouldn't feed the monkeys alone. These monkeys have been fed for a very long time because they were moved there after the dam was built (finished 1938) and there are less monkeys than we think. I saw a recent number from Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation department that say 1800 monkeys. Earlier it was around 3000. 🤓🇸🇪
U should have brought something they know u bring goodies 4 the mothers so u should always carry something 4 them come on its a given anything is better than nothing I wish I was there I would give them my last $1 & spend it on something 4 them I feel so bad 4 them yearlings they sound so pitiful
I know what you mean, I feel it too, but they're not really desperate, they're more like addicted and too used to handouts. AM brings lots of food, but maybe this time had already given it all away by the time he got to this sorry bunch.
There are signs everywhere not to feed them. They need to forage and not be reliant on visitors. Bc the male yearlings will need to leave their natal troop in a few years, so it's important they learn this now if they're going to survive.
Exactly they should not have to rely on people to bring them food. They need to be eating leafy greens, not hot dog buns, candy or cakes that’s why some of them are so obese they can’t even climb a tree
He can't lug around dozens of sweet potatos every time. Too heavy. He usually has beans or nuts and a few sweet potatoes for the mothers who have given birth. He's not a designated feeder. AM is a videotographer as a hobby, for his channels and us!😊
The juveniles act like they are starving . They can forage if they are. We know they are not . Not one of them are out foraging. What have we done to them by giving so many goodies all the time .
I mention that before, they stay on the road waiting for people to feed them. They need to go in the forest and look for food. Stop depending on the people. The monkeys are getting more and more to feed. That is way they need to keep up the sterilization. 😢
@@pamelacarbo4237 I get that goodies are sometimes nice especially the fruit. Why every day ? I get they get goodies through the lean season but now it all the think about. A couple years ago while watching them wait for the goodies to come they would forage and not sit there crying. They have changed so much . I wonder getting all those goodies and not foraging all the time will cause more mental problems and suck later .
Yeah, they sit around, pace, follow, all whinning and scratching themselves like heroin addicts. Being by the roadside gets so many of the young ones killed and the females sterlized at the cage.
monkey hill isn’t their natural habitat. it’s theorized that they’re the descendants of pets abandoned way back in the 1920s, so they rely on humans feeding them since i imagine most of them would die without human help due to kam shan park (monkey hill) not being their natural habitat/where they’re actually supposed to be, especially during winter where it’s been heavily implied there is nothing for them to forage. humans took away their natural home and there are hardly any truly wild macaques left in hong kong due to this, so if anything it should be our duty to feed them; it’s the least we can do for destroying nature.
I'm very disappointed in you to go out there with nothing to give them you're just going to take the videos and not give anything back shame shame shame
