Good evening everybody! Glad to see all of our monkey friends are doing fine. Stay well & safe everybody. Try to have a good week. A.M. bless you sir, so greatful that I discovered your channel. Your videos are always so awesome! Catch me later!
Love Our Gang! It was surprising and very nice to see Gypsy with Kiley. She sure does look like Knotty. I’ll be around more often Arroz. Apologies for my absence. Hope you had a lovely Holiday.
Hi Arroz! I'm happy you found our gang! I love the close ups when they're curious of the camera! Im always happy when I get to see Spanky. I remember when she was just a baby herself. Her baby this year looks to have extra large ears! 🤭🤭 As always, thank you for the lovely videos! Have a great upcoming week! 🙏🏼😊💜
Ahhh…what a great video! Benny looked like a little Teddy Bear sitting on the forest floor and good to see Gypsy taking care of Kiley. Thank you AM for your time and great expertise. I love these fur babies.
I have had the absolute worst year in my life. I'm so grateful that I discovered this channel.Im so discusted with the shows,the news,movies it's all violent,greed and humans being terrible to each other. Something horrible happens and there are 20 people video taping instead of intervening or helping. I look forward to your educational and entertaining videos. These animals have more compassion, loyalty and justice than the world we are living in. We all could learn something from them.Thank you,thank you it really has brought some light back into my life.
I just love seeing Pucky. And Gypsy wow still letting kiley nurse. Maybe she is changing. Be more attentive. One can only hope it last. Kiley is precious . But it's so good to see them all especially the Puckman. He will always have a special place in my heart.
She really does! I was noticing that too. Not only are they big & round & wide like Dopeys but her eyeballs actually seem bigger than most her age. Especially for her lil body. 🐒😎
Dimpy is a younger version of her mom. Very pretty girl. I enjoyed seeing Pucky again but I can see he's doing just fine. Great video Arroz. So peaceful.. Has a calming effect. Love it.
Aww, I would do just about anything for the opportunity to stand next to AM, in the forest surrounded by our babies! First to thank him for sharing these precious creatures with us, and secondly to just sit amongst our most adorable furry cousins!!
Hi Arroz, just wanted to tell you how amazing you are with all of you videos. Love these fur babies. My favorite will always be Dopey and mom Reddy. But I really do love them all. Keep doing what your doing. It's so amazing, sometimes I just watch for hours.❤️❤️
I really want to share this with you. I just want to tell you how much your channel has inspired me. I have travelled the world over and I retire in 5 years. You have helped me decide what I want to do with my golden years. I already knew I would retire to SE Asia and have decided to take my life’s savings and go to Cambodia to help macaques. I think I could do the most good there. Thank you for helping to steer me in the right direction. I wish you ALL the best, you are one of the good ones.
Hello all. AM love the way you give us insight into their lives. Gypsy must have found a secret pocket of goodies to have full pouches when higher ranked monkeys have empty ones. Kiley is getting big, isn't he? Thanks for being our tour guide and keeping updated on our furry cousins there in Hong Kong AM. Love to all our Monkey Hill Gang furry and not.
I wonder if Gypsy has mellowed after the death of Kody? Just about every glimpse of her she is holding Kiley and he is allowed to suckle. It doesn't seem he is plucked much. Only once you filmed him with a babysitter. I hope it continues. Love your videos. I'm new to the many catching up on the players. From Alberta, Canada
It's so nice to watch your videos, AM, compared to those from Cambodia. I know these monkeys are a different species, but they're so much more loving to their babies than the long tail and even pigtail machines. Not to mention these monkeys aren't obese like the ones around the park areas and temple of Angkor Wat. The only thing similar is the way the baby monkeys hang on their mama's nipples and pull them down til they've stretched out of shape! Ouch, makes mine hurt! Hahaha!
The end of this video provides pretty solid evidence that baby monkeys grow on trees...I want a baby monkey tree in my backyard. Such a sweet, beautiful sight!
Love to see the monkeys in the wild . Not in clothes or diapers , and doped up with clothes on which I think is very cruel thank you for filming this and educating us on the animals in the wild
What a great Video, as always thanks ! Babies are too cute ! Why are their tails shorter than others I’ve seen, ? at the Temple they have loooong tails but I don’t watch that anymore ! Just remembered . You do such nicer videos I’m glad I found you !
Different breeds. These are Pig Tail Macaque and the ones with longer tails are Long Tail Macaque. At the Temple though, there are hybrids, a mix of Long Tail and Pig Tail.
Whenever I see Dimpy with Riy, I always think good mothers beget good mothers. You never actually said, but I'm assuming Reddy is skipping this year? I noticed little Teddy has a boo-boo on the bridge of his nose.
@@ickiedeer-lamb7282 I've never seen Gypse steal from anyone's pouches. Her babies get babysat excessively leading to them calling for her and not nursing as frequently as other babies. She also plucks hairs when grooming. The only monkeys that steal from pouches are Tina, her daughter Trina, and maybe Tiny. Leah is another mother that steals from her babies' pouches. This year her baby is Hugo. Leah doesn't have a lactating problem like Tina, so her babies don't starve. Leah and Tina are both from Skull Heads troop. Leah is also low-ranking and her offspring are Hazel, Harper and cute little Hugo.
When Arroz found Gypsy, she was the only monkey there so he had a perfect opportunity to give her treats safely, without other troop members seeing them. AM always helps the low rankers when he can, he's got a big heart. That's why Gypsy had fuller pouches than higher borns who arrived later.
AM, can you do a video about the alphas? Or at least a historical view on the alphas throughout the years you've been filming, and when is tge last time you seen grandee?
Cocky was the alpha when AM started filming in 2016. He went missing in 2018. Bossy and Cocky were a strong pair. Cocky probably had many more offspring than listed here. Bossy Jr., Bessy, Bucky, Larry, Spotty, Scotty, Spanky, Spunky, Sputty were his kids. Lanly and Lacy were too but they died. Barney, Bolly and Barry could possibly be Cocky's. Grandee was the beta or a beater? when AM started filming in 2016. He became alpha in 2018-2020. He was outed in 2022. Grandee was not Cocky and Bossy was not Ridgy. Not too sure if they really liked each other. Grandee was known for being tolerant and loving to the babies, especially his girls from Ridgy. He also showed affection towards his son Spocky. He was not very dominant or aggressive. Most viewers fell in love with this snuggle buggle teddy bear. Grandee had many offspring. Bubby, Boppy, Lenny, Luffy, Lindsy, Starry, Stanley, Lilly, Poppy, Rosy, Azzy, Daffy, Vivi, Fifi, Didy, Gigi, Spocky, Bucky, Pucky, and Spikey. Scooby too but he died. There could be more. Bleary was a beater I think when AM started filming in 2016. He disappeared in 2020. He was big male with a drop wrist. I think Bleary was Bobby, Micky and Milly's dad. There could be more. Taggy was a beta or beater? when AM started filming in 2016. He was sterilized and tracking tag removed in 2019. Taggy was known to be cranky maybe because of the tracking tag he had around his neck. This tag reduced the amount of food he could store in his pouches. He might have been a bulker male if he didn't have the tag. His temperament was said to be calmer once the tag was removed. Also, his sterilization may have reversed. Taggy is still temperamental and with the troop as of 01/2023. As you can tell, I like Taggy. He is Dopey, Dimpy and maybe Dipsy Dinky, Deenly's dad. Probably Gypsy's kids, Lubby's kids, Dana's, kids and Wibby's dad. I'm sure I have missed some. He does get around! Barry and Barney (Bossy's sons) were intern alphas from 2020-2022. Barry outed Barney in 2022. Barry is now the acting alpha. AM mentioned that Barry's sterilization may have reversed because Lancy's daughter Livvy looks like Barry.
@@sonyabilledo4303 you sound d like me lol, I have the entire gang listed starting from 2017 and up, but you know the weird thing is like for example, I know that bossy is the matriarch, and when grandee was alpha I do know he and ridgy hooked up, and im sure there is a couple others grandee hooked up with as well, but if you notice there is 2 things that I am puzzled by, I never saw bossy and grandee mate, and when grandee was alpha, before Barry got older who was grandees beta? And wasn't Dana at one point from another troop? Or an I thinking of someone else? And dopey, I think he will become an alpha soon in another troop, wouldn't it be cool if he came back to bossy troop and ousted Barry? Lol
@@deadshallriseagain8513 When Cocky was alpha, Grandee was beta, Taggy and Bleary were beaters. When Cocky went missing 2018, Grandee and Taggy both competed for the alpha position. Bossy picked Grandee. I believe Taggy then became the beta. AM never said so I'm just guessing because Taggy was the most aggressive male in the troop. Grandee was alpha from 2018-2020. Bleary went missing in 2020. Ridgy and Dolly mated with Grandee before he became alpha. They continued until he was outed. Many macaques are loyal. Reddy, Lubby, Dana, Tabby and Gypse were more or less loyal to Taggy. Taggy has many ladies that respect him. Once a male becomes an alpha he mates with the matriarch, high borns and others he favors. AM doesn't film mating much. I'm sure it happens. He did film Grandee grooming Bossy. Winning her favor to mate. Bubby, and Boppy are Grandee's offspring. Dana is from Annie's troop. She mates with Taggy just like Lubby. These females visit Bossy's troop for child support. Lol. Probably because Bossy's troop is larger, thus more food is available and Taggy protects them. Wibby is Dana's and Taggy's daughter. She visits for the same reason. Annie's troop is small therefore doesn't always find a place on the road. Thus, no food from the feeders. Bossy's troop keeps growing. Well, you want genetic diversity in a troop. This will help prevent genetic defects caused by inbreeding. Recessive traits being expressed ect. So that being said, I think having Dopey return would not be good. Ben has returned to his natal troop (Nora's troop). I find this odd. Not so good for the genetic diversity. Dopey alpha.... Well to be an alpha, a macaque needs to be many things. Aggressive, dominant, big, strong, good at social networking, and smart wouldn't hurt. Now of course a male might be aggressive and dominant but not big and strong. Look at Wild. IMO to stay an alpha for a long time you need the above characteristics. Skull Head had these and remained alpha for 20 years. So Dopey can be aggressive and dominant but he is not a fighter like Wilde, Silas, Will, Hercules, or Tarzan. Dopey is smart and his main strength is networking. So, he no doubt will move up in rank but alpha....I don't think so. He is too smart to be an alpha. All the stress and conflict resolution involved. I can see him as a beta. He will get all the privileges without the headaches. Just like his dad Taggy who has survived 2 alpha changes. Taggy's ladies just love and respect him. Hopefully he will be able to end his days in Bossy's troop like Skull Head did. Freddy, Edwin, Silas, and Leo are all old male macaques that are still with their troops. I'm a Barry lover. He was just so cute as a baby with his close-set beady eyes. Now I enjoy seeing him with Tinky and his family. Benny running to his uncle for help was the cutest. I know Barry should be outed for genetic reasons. I understand but hate when our boys leave. I seem to be drawn to the aggressive dominant boys. Dopey, Spocky, Georgy, and the little rascal Grady are my favorites from Bossy's troop.
@@sonyabilledo4303 so, okay I'm a little confused at the moment lol, please excuse my ignorance, so grandee obviously had offspring with ridgy and as well with bossy, so, how long ago and who was the baby of bossy the one that grandee gave her?
@@ickiedeer-lamb7282 I lost a dear close friend from complications from undiagnosed long Covid. He was only 58. I’ve been spending a lot of time with his poor wife. Such a senseless tragedy. He got halfway to work on Friday but had to turn around and come back home. He went to the doctor who just gave him pills and sent him on his way. He ended up at the ER, then airlifted to a large medical center and was dead less than an hour later.
