At the Bambelela Vervet Monkey Rehabilitation Farm in South Africa, monkeys that have been kept as pets are rescued and rehabilitated so that they can return to their natural habitat. It can take years for young monkeys to get accepted into a group and learn how to live in the wild, so while they spend most of their days together, many of the younger babies spend the night with caretakers to keep warm.
In this adorable video, Janco, a baby Verbet monkey, is having a little bit of a temper tantrum before bedtime! Just like a toddler, Janco doesn't want to go to sleep while everyone else is awake. But if you watch all the way to the end, you'll see he eventually gets over his excitement, and sweetly falls asleep! It's every mother's dream! LOL!
I'm so happy that there are places out there that work at rehabilitating animals that should never have been pets in the first place! Monkeys may be adorable, but they are meant to be wild animals!
